About the Painting:
“In this piece I wanted to explore a dialogue about curiosity, anxiety and energy. Depending upon the way we grow up, sometimes we can lose our sense of freshness by way of a stressful life and monotonous routine. Nevertheless, there’s still an energy that inhabits our bodies, akin to the creative juice that flows through flowers. Unicorn’s have a universial concept about dreamland, creativity, fortune and joy. They evoke imagery filled with creative energy and narratives of mental landscapes. Unicorn’s remind us of our childhood dreams and direct our attention towards other perspectives and world views.” – Alice Lin

Alice Lin, AKA XU LINLIN, lives in Beijing, she is a freelance artist as well as painter and 3D Art Director with a passion for new Chinese meticulous painting and 3D projection art. She first fell in love with the technique when she was a child, inspired by Chinese tradition techniques and Surrealism. Alice’s style is rich and full of details, harmonizes apparently discordant elements and intertwines them together by a skillful use of drawings and paintings. The resulting is unique, fanciful whimsical, undertones of wit and a good old vivid finish. This new and fascinating wonderland of possible realities combines with the human figure, plants, animals into a singular, calm, dark vision.
