Richard Lin's Archive

2019 MEI YUAN ART MUSEUM | UI Design | Website
overview
As a UI designer at Mei Yuan Art Museum, I was responsible for designing a website for the well know Taiwanese minimalist artist - Richard Lin.
The museum aimed to promote the rich diversity of Lin's artwork while digitizing his public art collection online. The goal was to deliver a minimalist impression that could show Lin's enthusiasm for rationality, geometry and pure mediums, thus strongly implicating modernism.
Richard Lin Archive is a website that guide the users to search and browse all of Lin's artwork, document, exhibition records and his biography and chronology during the exhibition on their digital devices.
Challenge
In Lin’s paintings, we can feel a presence within absence, and people perceive a fluid sensibility that flows beneath the surface of the rational composition.
The biggest challenge was to create Lin’s work departs from representational forms, using only lines and squares to create a precise and rational composition.
Solution
I used lots of geometry design elements and only 3 colour that had been used in Lin's artwork the most to represent his artistic sense in this project. Lin's artwork could be divided into six categories, they were "oil painting", "work on paper", "white series", "moon and sun series", "print" and "existence and variation".
Users can browse Lin's artwork through these categories and the artworks collection are displayed in the same frame to match his minimalism style.
To see more details of the artwork, users could click the image, then it'll pop up a new subpage showing more information on the artwork such as name, time, size and texture.
DISCLAIMER: Due to NDA with the museum, I am limited in the amount of work I can show in this project.
