Caption
The black and white ink color is dyed into the old door beams and walls, and a few grasses grow on the eaves, showing up beautifully and silently. A few swallows flew through the sky, bringing the warm breath of spring. Under the door beam, an old woman with white hair sat with her head bowed, holding a white cloth and needle and thread, and sewing her clothes carefully. Next to her, two chickens, a male and a female, walked leisurely, quietly accompanying each other.
"Homeland"
This is Lin Ishikawa's "home", a painting that moves me. He melts the warmth and bondage of his homeland into the picture, no matter how old the house is, but as long as there are people and lives, it is "home".
From this painting, the characteristics of Lin Ishikawa's works can also be summarized: there are fireworks, human touches, cultural and interesting. These characteristics make his paintings contain the power of the human heart, so that the viewer can have an emotional resonance with them, and it is readable and durable, which is worthy of repeated appreciation.
The fusion of pen and ink and emotion gives birth to a palpable temperature in Lin Ishikawa's paintings.
"My Hometown, My Land"

The essence of the painting: a humane ink painting
Chaoshan people are very homesick.
This is the confirmation I have received again after I have touched Lin Ishikawa's paintings. And this kind of "love of home" is actually a high degree of recognition and belonging to the culture of the hometown. Therefore, they persistently walked in the deep alleys and alleys over and over again, tirelessly looking at and painting the corner cornices and white walls of the house that had been washed and precipitated by the years.
At the same time, this recognition of the traditional culture of the homeland has more deeply bred and nourished the low-key, pragmatic and modest character of the Chaoshan people, which is a character. These qualities and cultural accomplishments are translated through painting, revealing a calm and introverted texture atmosphere and a thick humanistic atmosphere, which is for paintings. It is a good painting with both character and painting that is worth collecting and tasting.
《Old Garden」
Lin Ishikawa's paintings can be said to be a typical representative of the core spirit of Chaoshan culture. His character and paintings are inseparable from the influence and teaching of his family, especially his grandfather.
When Lin Ishikawa was seven or eight years old, he followed his grandfather Lin Yi to learn Chinese painting, starting from calligraphy at the beginning, laying a good foundation for lines, and sometimes when his grandfather painted, he would help grind ink next to him, while watching and learning.
"Why should I be big?"
His grandfather not only enlightened Lin Ishikawa's painting mind, but also taught him the principles of being a man.
Once, Lin Ishikawa took advantage of his grandfather's nap and secretly erased one of his seals and printed his name. When my grandfather woke up, he took the seal and first told him that the writing was good, but then his face changed, and he admonished him again, telling him that changing the seal of others at will is an act of disrespect for others and disrespect for art!
Later, Lin Ishikawa learned that the seal that he erased was from the hand of the famous seal engraver Qian Junkui, which was not easy to obtain.
"QinXin"
Quietly gazing at Lin Ishikawa's paintings, there is a sense of immersion, like a poem that has been immersed in time.
Outside the long street, through the halls and alleys, the sky is high and the wind is clear, the fireworks in the world are sound, my hometown and my land, living and working in peace and contentment.
In the room, a table and a chair, a lamp and a pot, are all old colors, the years pass, and the time is long.
"Flowing Years"

More than 30 years of solo practice: don't be craftsman, but reiki
After graduating from high school, Lin Ishikawa came to Shenzhen, hoping to see and learn more knowledge and improve his self-cultivation in this international metropolis where the art development environment is more avant-garde.
During this period, many art academies and painting academies threw olive branches to Lin Ishikawa and invited him to become one of them. Just when Lin Ishikawa hesitated, a friend gave him advice and said to him: Your work has its own style characteristics, and you should continue to carry it forward and take your own unique path.
At this time, Lin Ishikawa's painting style was not yet mature, and his pen and ink were still immature, but it was precisely because of this that his paintings did not have a patterned craftsmanship, but had an innocent and pure aura, which was extremely rare.
"Leisure"
Hayashikawa was deeply impressed by his friend's proposal, so he refused the invitation of the Academy of Fine Arts and unswervingly began to practice alone. This lone road has been more than 30 years.
In addition to sketching and a small number of gatherings, Lin Ishikawa basically does not go out, and most of his time is spent reading and painting, exploring the painting style and painting method by himself, enjoying himself, and having nothing outside his heart.
Once, on his way back to his hometown, he saw a chair, and the figure of the chair under the setting sun was illuminated on the wall, and the shadow was pulled very long, turning into an exaggerated appearance. Seeing this scene, Lin Ishikawa gave birth to a painting inspiration: why should the painting chair have to be square and well-behaved? Isn't that deformed shadow also very interesting and interesting?
「Fuhai Shoushan》
Lin Ishikawa integrates the lines of calligraphy into the brush and ink of the painting table and chair, a stroke is a foot, the pen is casual and clumsy, the whole chair is a little twisted and crooked, extremely asymmetrical, but inexplicably adds a cute and lively meaning. This vivid spirituality is the most precious quality in Lin Ishikawa's paintings.
"Bright Moon Breeze"
At first, Lin Ishikawa painted because of his grandfather, but he did not follow his grandfather's path, painted the same paintings as him, and did not enter the art school to find a famous teacher to study, even if such a choice may allow him to emerge and be sought after. He insisted on his own pursuits and followed his heart, so that he was happy, and the works he painted were naturally sincere and moving.

Sold-out exhibitions: Works are very popular in Japan
In April 2017, At the invitation of the Chinese Embassy in Japan, Hayashikawa held his first solo exhibition in Tokyo, which opened up his influence in Japan.
The cause of this exhibition came from a chance.
Previously, one of Hayashi Ishikawa's students (now a professor at the Academy of Fine Arts) shared his work in the circle of friends, and one of the professor's students studying in Japan who studied in politics saw Hayashi Ishikawa's work and felt very fond of it, and he felt that if Hayashi Ishikawa's works could be exhibited in Japan, it would be very successful. Moreover, this year coincides with the 45th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Japan, which can be described as a favorable time and place, and the significance is even more unusual. So the student extended an invitation to Lin Ishikawa and held a grand solo exhibition for him at the Chinese Embassy in Japan.
Unexpectedly, as expected, the exhibition was a great success, and more than 70 works exhibited by Lin Ishikawa were all bought, and there was no one left.
"Late at night without wind"
The following year marked the 40th anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Peace and Friendship between China and Japan. To commemorate this important historical moment, Hayashi Ishikawa was once again invited to Japan to exhibit his works and enhance cultural exchanges between the two peoples. Based on the previous good reaction and effect of the exhibition, Lin Ishikawa gladly went.
In October of the same year, Lin Ishikawa's work "Youxi" won the gold medal of the "14th China-Japan Ink Exhibition". Once again, Japan has proved their love for Hayashi Ishikawa's works with their actions.
When I learned about this story, I was thinking about why Lin Ishikawa's works can make Japanese people intoxicated, and I think this is not only because of the common culture between China and Japan, of course, this is the premise.
"Lotus Pond Moonlight"
The Japanese people are delicate in their hearts, and their appreciation of art is also very direct and pure, focusing on expressing their mood and imagination, and advocating touching inner feelings. Lin Ishikawa's works are inspired by the heart, not carved, have a simple and real pen and ink interest, simple but beautiful artistic beauty, perhaps it is this unique picture conception that has penetrated deeply into the hearts of the Japanese people.
So although they didn't know Lin Ishikawa before and didn't know his identity, they would still be really moved by a beautiful work.
Two years ago, the Chinese Embassy in South Korea also contacted Lin Ishikawa and invited him to the South Korean exhibition, unfortunately, due to the epidemic, he was unable to travel as scheduled.
"Lin Ishikawa's works were exhibited at the 26th Guangzhou Art Fair"
"Lin Ishikawa won the Art Heritage Award at the 26th Guangzhou Art Fair"
Even if it is lonely, it is as sweet as food, even if it is vicissitudes, it is pure and kind. In the story of Lin Ishikawa, human fireworks are art, chickens and dogs barking are art, not pretending to be high, not getting axes, this is a kind of popular elegance.
