The only AUTHORIZED source of Rufus LIN paintings
Rufus Lin Studio is a very small art dealer based in Vancouver BC, Canada, and Tokyo, Japan, with the exclusive rights to sell the acrylic paintings of Canadian artist Rufus Lin.
Most of Rufus Lin’s work is in the hands of private collectors, but now you can purchase a small selection of his paintings on this web site.
The artist’s entire private collection can be viewed in digital form on this web site. However, at any one time, only ten of the original acrylic paintings have been selected by the artist to be made available for purchase.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you wish to purchase any painting that may not currently be on sale. Thank you for your interest in the art of Canadian painter Rufus Lin.
HOW TO PURCHASe a rufus lin original acrylic painting
Art collectors are drawn to the acrylic landscapes and paintings of living Canadian artist Rufus Lin because of his expressionist style and quirky interpretations.
However, less than 150 of his acrylic paintings exist. Except for those sold here, or in the hands of private collectors, the artists paintings are in his private collection, maintained in Tokyo, Japan.
Every month or two, as the only art dealer worldwide able to sell his paintings, we receive just 10 selected paintings from the artist, which we make available for sale on this web site.
All of the paintings in Rufus Lin’s private collection can be viewed, without any special equipment or software, in a virtual art gallery here.
A SELECTION FROM THE PRIVATE COLLECTION OF THE ARTIST
About Rufus Lin
Rufus Lin (1959-) is a Canadian artist, composer/pianist and writer, based in Vancouver and Tokyo. His output is relatively small, consisting of less than 150 acrylic paintings. Apart from private collectors in Japan, he has not made the paintings in his own personal collection available for sale in North America, and only began doing so in the summer of 2024.
Rufus Lin’s work
In general, the paintings of Rufus Lin may perhaps best be described as contemporary expressionist. In the words of the artist, “Rather than attempting to accurately convey what the eye sees, as with a photograph, surely it suffices for the artist to communicate the same thing, as freely as possible, as long as it is possible, perhaps with some effort if need be, to understand what is being depicted.” This thinking explains the curves and bright colors that inform the artist’s paintings.
Paintings currently available
At the artist’s request, we are only able to sell 10 paintings from his private collection at a time. These paintings have been selected by the artist himself, but as his sales agent, we have set the prices, and may be able to be slightly flexible on the price, depending on the circumstances.
All paintings are acrylic on acid-free museum grade paper, unframed. Unless otherwise stated, the size of each painting is 333×333 mm.

The solitary elephant is on a journey to the mountains, under the blazing sun. There are two types of clouds shown, which is unusual in a Rufus Lin painting. The actual acrylic painting does not have the watermark seen in this digital sketch from the artist’s private collection.
