Chenlin Cai is a visual artist lives in Philadelphia. Cai received his MFA from two world-renowned universities in
fine arts, the Tsinghua University in China and the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia. Cai was a
Commissioner at Pennsylvania Governor’s Advisory Commission on Asian Pacific American Affairs from 2022-
2023. Cai immerses his works in the conflict of these two different art cultures, and the art environments did the
opposite. He made no compromise, following only his instinct and vision, combining the best of his traditional
training as a classical artist and his unorthodox use of paint on non-traditional materials and surfaces,
experimenting with multi-media expression.
