Biography
Lin Ji (b. 1995) also known as Webson Ji, is a New York-based Chinese multimedia artist. He holds an MA degree in Sculpture from Savannah College of Art and Design and a BFA in Public Art from China Academy of Art. Webson Ji is a member of the International Sculpture Center, a member of the New England Sculptors Association and an associate member of the National Sculpture Society. He currently lives and works in New York.
The exploration of the essence of materiality is the driving force throughout Webson's artistic career. His background as competitive swimmer during his youth contributes to his perspective on the nature and movement of water. As such, Webson’s practice focuses on the presentation of this substance, combining it with various industrial materials to present the viewer with a unique interpretation of his meditation.
Webson's works have been widely exhibited nationally and internationally. His most recent solo exhibition was held at the Blanc Gallery in Manhattan, NY 2019. Other exhibitions include solo exhibitions at Besharat Museum Gallery, Atlanta 2019; Garcia Wilburn Gallery, Atlanta 2018, as well as group shows at the Oculus World Trade Center, Manhattan NY; Greenpoint Gallery, Brooklyn NY; La Mama La Galleria, Manhattan NY; Novado Gallery, Jersey City NJ; BINNAR Art Festival, Portugal; Loosenart Gallery, Rome Italy; CICA Museum, Gyeonggi-do South Korea; Gustein Gallery, Savannah GA; Yonsei University, Soul South Korea; Z-Art Center, Shanghai China. In July 2018, Webson was honored as the Best Young Artist of the Year of 2018 GAMMA Young Artist Competition in Tokyo, Japan, out of 226 participants from over 26 different countries.
