Presentation by Witty Books:
" « I am like a waiter who was given a special identity. At this time, I may be a stranger, perhaps a maker of taste and emotion, maybe a peeper next door, maybe just a recorder using a camera to invade others. The young flesh came in and out. Our communication was limited to the narration of the shutter’s sound and an euphemistic dialogue. This is a colorful room filled with invisible desires and slow laziness. The body appears to be still, or just a dream, because it is not a strong oppressive relationship. »
-- Lin Zhipeng aka No. 223 "

After many group exhibitions, his work is presented in solo shows in China, the USA , The Netherlands, and in many other countries. His work is a study on the body, on gender, on day to day life, liberty and innocence, nudity and sexuality, with a strong interest for colors and the frequent appearances of flowers and vegetal elements...
