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.

FEATURED PAINTING
Howling White Wolf
The painting shown in this poster is a 333×333 mm acrylic painting on museum grade acid-free paper, unframed.
Why does the wolf howl? Is the moon its sole companion? Has it been ostracized by its pack? The hillock on which it stands, along with its posture, form a path drawing the eye to the moon. One of the artist’s typical representations of a tree balances out the simple composition of the picture.
