“It would be great if there was Lin Dongfu in “Flowers”,

What a pity. “

turn out to be

Lin Dongfu has had a “painter dream” since he was a child

Lin Dongfu was born in an ordinary family in Shanghai in 1957. He dreamed of becoming a painter when he was young. He began sketching and practicing sketching since elementary school. He said: “After graduating from middle school, I worked as a painter in the housing maintenance team of the housing management office. Later, I learned English and found that painters and painters are both ‘painter’ in English. Maybe everything is destined.”

Later, he went from dubbing behind the scenes to acting in front of the stage. He also served as a part-time university professor, master’s tutor, columnist, etc., but he never gave up his dream of being a painter.

At the age of 50, Lin Dongfu picked up painting again. In 2013, he studied under Italian painter Matteo. Chen Danqing revealed that when the exhibition day was approaching, Lin Dongfu simply slept in the studio. “I was about to see a man in his seventies. He got up from bed in the morning and started painting, and the paintings became bigger and bigger.” This shows his love for painting.

What makes people sigh even more is that

The housing management office where Lin Dongfu worked as a painter

Now it is the Dongyi Art Museum (No. 1, East 1st Road, Zhongshan) where his painting exhibition is held.

The opening of “Tribute to Montaigne – Lin Dongfu Painting Exhibition” coincides with the extension of Jin Yucheng’s painting exhibition “Flowers” at Dongyi Art Museum, and two local Shanghai “amateur” painters performed on the same stage.

Flowers – Jin Yucheng Painting Exhibition

Extension to close on February 29, 2024

Friends who want to go to the exhibition still have a chance~

In the eyes of curator Xie Dingwei, both of them have legendary and rich life experiences, “Lin Dongfu has worked as a worker, teacher, actor, voice actor, host, etc., while Jin Yucheng, an educated youth, worked as a fitter in a watch factory after returning to Shanghai. Later, he worked at the Workers’ Cultural Palace, and then was transferred to work at the “Shanghai Literature” magazine.”

Now the two exhibitions are held at the Dongyi Art Museum at the same time. “The two exhibitions have different themes and styles, but behind them are the vicissitudes of Shanghai and the great achievements of reform and opening up.”
