Lin Chih-chu Memorial, Memorial site in West District, Taichung, Taiwan.
The Lin Chih-chu Memorial is a commemorative site in West District of Taichung housed in a traditional Taiwanese building, where paintings and personal belongings are displayed. The collection documents the artist's works and teaching approaches through a curated exhibition.
The artist founded the Taiwan Gluepainting Association in 1983 to foster a community of artists dedicated to this particular painting technique. This founding shaped the style's further development and recognition in Taiwan.
The memorial shows how Eastern gouache painting, a technique using natural pigments introduced during Japanese colonial times, became part of Taiwan's art world. The displayed works trace how this painting style developed and took root in the local artistic community.
The site is located in West District along Liuchuan West Road and is typically open on most weekday afternoons, making it ideal for an afternoon visit. Check ahead for current opening times, as hours can vary seasonally.
The collection holds detailed observational paintings that reveal how the artist structured teaching and trained working artists. These works offer visitors a rare window into a specific instructional method rarely documented so directly.
