Art Click: Hello, Mr. Lin, can you tell us about your art experience?
Lin Shaolei: I remember that in the second grade of Dongfanghong Primary School in Gulangyu, one of my paintings "Learning Engineering, Learning Agriculture and Learning Army" was selected for the Xiamen Youth Art Exhibition.Began to change from curiosity to strong interest in art!Until junior high school, I found that I had a different talent and sensitivity in painting. At the same time, influenced by my father's literature and art, I used words and paintings to make small models to record my perception of the world.After serving as the editor-in-chief of the propaganda board in the middle of junior middle school, he opened a small artistic skylight.After graduating from high school, he was successfully admitted to the College of Arts and Crafts of Fuzhou University. After graduation, he has been engaged in art design and comprehensive art creation. He has been wandering all over the country for several years, experiencing the "green apple period", "gray period"and"surreal period".

Art Click: Knowing that you like to write poetry, does poetic life bring more resonance and creative source to your paintings?
Lin Shaolei: In fact, the poems I write are more like a record of creative inspiration to find the sounds of nature. Even when I wake up in the middle of the night, I doodle in my sketch book with images and words in time. This instinctive manuscript will leave a rich source of creation for the future.

Art Click: Talk about your new work in the past two years. Why is it called Boundless?What are the topics covered?
Lin Shaolei: I can only use the poem "Boundless" to express this question.
Freedom Without Borders/shaolei
Night
The stream has quietly gone before the thought.
Surge to the sea
Ancient moonlight
Penetrate the boundless territory
Illuminating the sleepwalker's journey.
The ghost instinct of freedom cried out.
Wake up the dreamer
Only then did the sleepwalkers discover each other.
The mask on his face had been torn open with his belt and flesh.
It was full of holes and bloody.
The moths fell along the drops of blood.
Follow the stream
Be swallowed up by the sea little by little

Art Click: Some of the works in the "Boundless" series incorporate regional elements. Is this related to the fact that I am a native of Gulangyu?
Lin Shaolei: Of course, there are many close relationships. The works of "Boundless" series are derived from many elements of Gulangyu. Gulangyu is a precious cultural heritage left by the international community. Although Gulangyu is an island of square inches, she is integrated into the world.

The process of constantly refreshing the understanding of the world, feeling the living conditions of contemporary society and the situation of life being torn apart and fragmented.It uses scattered stacking, digital camera recording, and then through three-dimensional, separation, imagery, surreal combination, in the form of easel painting to express the mind.
Art comes from life and is higher than life, and every successful artist can succeed in one great work of art worthy of the great era, contribute to and serve the society, which is nothing more than discovering and maturely using new artistic elements and becoming the face of a series of personal artistic creation, and becoming a member of the treasure house of social aesthetic standards for the people.The pioneering and shocking aesthetic concepts and painting techniques brought by Mr. Shaolei's works, including the exploration in the form of artistic expression, have brought great influence to the contemporary Chinese painting circle. I believe that Mr. Shaolei will work hard, explore constantly and practice boldly on this road of artistic pursuit, and make more new contributions to the contemporary Chinese art circle!We have always believed that Mr. Shaolei's works are the backbone of Chinese contemporary art and deserve the attention of the art, painting and calligraphy circles and collectors as a potential contemporary artist.
