Lin Aojie was born in Guangzhou in 1986. He graduated from the Oil Painting Department of the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts in 2010. He currently lives in Guangzhou, works in Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen.
Lin Aojie's practice includes video, photography, painting, and text-based works. Drawing from personal experience, the artist employs images imbued with strong improvisational and humorous qualities to keenly and delicately document the trivial details of daily life or deliberately staged behavioral events. Simultaneously, a seemingly emotionless that consistently permeates the narrative structure. Through indirect approaches, he questions, mocks, and critiques capitalist production models, the survival struggles of artists, and the relationship between art practitioners and artists.
