Lonely artist makes fish bones into paintings

( English.news.cn )

Updated: 2013-08-27

Artists tend to show their understanding of the world on canvas or papers with oil, ink or even a chalk, but Lin Hanbing, a Chinese painter, has his own stuff: fish bones.

In his hands, the bony structure discarded by gourmets is turned into elaborate landscapes and works of art at a gallery in the coastal city of Xiamen in east China's Fujian Province.

Born in the neighboring city of Zhangzhou in 1964, Lin moved to Xiamen later. After graduating from an arts and crafts institute in 1989, he began to explore a method of arranging fish bones to make art.

"I get a special feeling with fish bones. They're beautiful, with shapes like the strokes of ancient Chinese calligraphy, which is primitive and elegant," said Lin, who is also the curator of the Oriental Fish Bone Gallery, the first of its kind in the country, located on Gulangyu Island.

Established in April 2006, the gallery now exhibits more than 100 works of fish bone art, which were selected by Lin from over 1,000 of his own creations.

"It was difficult at first. I had to live on borrowing from friends and relatives and my colleagues didn't understand me, but I believed I could invent a new kind of art and a new kind of pleasure," Lin said, "Now I think what I've done over the past 20 years is worth it."

Lin never throws away fish bones after meals because he uses the bones as raw material. He often spends a large amount of money buying rare fish to get distinctive bones. Another way he collects fish bone is to retrieve food waste from restaurants, hotels and residential communities.

"Those are free, but I have to spend a lot of money and time processing them," Lin said.

Before he draws paintings, he has to clean, whiten, embalm and dry those fish bones, which are different in shape and color.

Lin's art has been accepted by a growing number of people. Now, his small gallery receives about 100 visitors every day, with a ticket priced at 20 yuan.

In recent years, Lin has changed his style from original landscape paintings to artwork that reflects environmental problems, including air, river, and sea pollution.

Despite his fast-growing reputation, he worries that there will be nobody to continue his work.

Lin said he has recruited students in the past, but all of them left because they didn't want to spend a long time studying a new art form, and it wasn't likely to bring them huge fortunes.

Lin plans to recruit 10 apprentices nationwide who really like fish bone art and are willing to develop the art form. He said he dreams of building an oceanic cultural art exhibition in the future to introduce oceanic knowledge, fish species, fisherman culture and fish bone art to people around the world.
