Lien first came to prominence in the early 1980s as a surrealist concerned with ecological and environmental protection before evolving into a neo-expressionist in the late 1980s. Since 1989, Lien has directed his attention to ‘magical realism’, reflecting his sentimentality regarding the lost of traditional values, humanity and nature.
