Sing Tao Daily: Asian artist Lin Shibao has launched the "One Prayer, One Painting" series of artworks
Taiwanese artist Lin Shih-Pao poses for a photo with a prayer and a painting on Zaiye Street with supporters.Taiwanese artist Lin Shih-Pao's new art exhibition, "One Prayer, One Painting," is rapidly spreading in New York, showcasing the Asian community's empathy and care for the Ukrainian people.
"One Prayer, One Painting" signifies one prayer corresponding to one artwork. Since the start of the Russo-Ukrainian war, Lin Shih-Pao has embarked on his daily painting challenge, meticulously documenting his prayer and meditation process. A portion of the sales revenue will be used to support their legal and living expenses.
Born in Taiwan in 1962, Lin Shih-Pao currently resides in New York and pursues his artistic career there. In 1987, he obtained a Bachelor's degree in Fine Arts from Nagoya University of Arts in Aichi, Japan. His works primarily reflect the profound concepts of Asian philosophy, namely deep sympathy and appreciation for humanity.
Utilizing free exhibition spaces such as cafes, Lin Shih-Pao maximizes the use of these "boring moments" when customers wait for bubble tea or coffee to be prepared. Often, during these few minutes, customers pass the time by browsing their phones or chatting with friends. By making the most of this "boring time," customers have the opportunity to appreciate more artworks, while the artist's works gain greater exposure, resulting in a win-win situation for both the artist and the business owner.
Yesterday, Lin Shih-Pao and Li Xinya introduced this efficient method of displaying art in hybrid spaces, sharing their experiences firsthand at 19 Doyers Street in Chinatown. Chen Zuozhou, the Executive Director of the Chinatown Partnership Local Development Corporation, and the lawyer couple Gu Qi also attended the event.
