In the real world, Lin Ju is a storyteller, a traveler in a dreamland who sometimes appears eccentric, with perhaps a bit of feigned insanity. He believes in the idea of life, with religious, even cultish passion. The imagery of his painting depicting entities with severed limbs devouring each other, seemingly points out another way to salve his calloused soul. Often terrifying at first sight, Lin Ju’s work is permeated with a peculiar sense of mysticism and irrationalism.
