Lin Dihuan (林帝浣)

 

Was born in China’s Guangdong province and is an alumnus of the Sun Yatsen
Medical University.

 

Since his early childhood he has had a love for traditional Chinese painting
and calligraphy. After graduating from university, he chose an artistic
career, focusing on photography, Chinese painting, ink-cartoons, calligraphy
and watercolour. He started lecturing at the Sun Yatsen Universitie's art
academy in 2019.

 

Lin Dihuan’s cartoon trademarks are simple, strong lines and a variety of
inking effects. They, in line with the tradition on Chinese painting address
core issues of our time, put the finger on mental issues of modern human
beings, while furthering expression and content of Chinese painting.

More than five million fans follow him in the Chinese social media. His
cartoons don’t feature harsh criticism, but radiate a warm compassion and
self-ironic affirmation. This comforting coolness can provide ease to a
Chinese society, longing for more tranquility and thinking.
