Features: Lin Yongkang's paintings are beautiful. Beauty can be called art. Beauty is diverse—there is the beauty of grandeur and strength, the beauty of flamboyant charm, the beauty of solemnity and nobility, as well as the beauty of superficiality and vulgarity; there is romantic beauty, eccentric beauty, and simple, clumsy beauty, and so on. Each painter's unique temperament and personality determine their future path. Lin Yongkang excels at finding themes and content that suit his own spirit. His works are both locally distinctive and in harmony with his personal style. The men he paints exude a strong and idealized beauty, while the women he depicts possess a vibrant, healthy, and pure spirit, untainted by vulgarity. His works reveal that he is not a restless painter eager for fame and fortune, but one who yearns for a solemn, sacred, and high-level pursuit of art. Painters who are superficial often live happier lives, while those who seek depth will endure greater hardships. But only this kind of painter can inspire us to place our highest hopes in them.
