Formosa, recalling the old name given by Portuguese navigators to the island of Taiwan in the 16th century, strives to transfer the painter’s concept to a carpet.
Lin is a specialist in transforming vast, cold spaces into organic fields of intense colour. In fact, behind the collection lie three years of meticulous work to reproduce his subtle use of colour on wool. Formosa brings you closer to his unmistakeable floral compositions on a small scale.
Available in red or blue.
Michael Lin graduated from the Fine Art Department of The Design Centre in Pasadena, California. After returning in 1993 to Taiwan, he developed his work as an artist working with the artist collective IT Park.
During the following nine years in Taiwan he developed what will go on to define the core of his artistic concerns, a reflection on Asian tradition, ornamentation and architecture, and the practice of art and life.
