About the artist
Justin Lin (b. 1989, Singapore)
While studying arts in ACS (I), Justin displayed great potential in his craft and graduated at the top of his cohort in Higher Level Visual Arts in 2007. More significantly, Justin is an emerging artist from the first batch of students who have studied art under the Integrated Program in Singapore and Justin’s creative exploration of unusual mediums and in-depth concepts are a sure mark of great things to come for our growing community of young, local artists.
A relatively new face in the industry, Justin’s works are already part of several private and gallery collections, a further testament to the potential value and significance of this rising artist’s work.
