Lin Guocheng is known for his work that integrates Western classical sketches with Chinese ink paintings. He studied at the Sichuan Academy of Fine Arts in 2002. Since 2004, he has participated in various art activities, and has had solo exhibitions in London, New York, Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, including a major show at the Guangdong Museum of Art in 2020.

Alisan Fine Arts began collaborating with Lin in 2023, showcasing his ink works in the gallery's important group exhibition Ink Alchemy at Central Gallery and displaying them at Art Basel Hong Kong which marked Lin's debut at this international art fair. Right after that, Lin's artworks were exhibited at Alisan's group exhibition Beyond Tradition: The Metamorphosis of Chinese Art at the Cromwell Place in London, UK; Ink Asia and Fine Art Asia in Hong Kong; ART SG 2024 in Singapore. In September 2023, we held our first solo exhibition for Lin.
