深深被夜景吸引的林葆靈,10餘年來一直試圖發展出更多夜景的可能性。他研發了以製圖膠片作為創作載體,使水分飽滿的壓克力彩在不吸水的半透明膠片上流動,讓暈染的效果更豐富與夢幻。如此流動、不確定、隨時會消逝的藝術風格,被許多藏家稱之為「如夢境般」,既神秘、迷人又令人嚮往。回望他的創作歷程,從「藍紫色夜曲」、「台北夜曲」、「京都夜曲」、「南湖星空」、「泛黃的夜」至近年發展的「雪國」系列,他在媒材運用與技法掌握上越發臻至純熟。在題材上,也因紐約、新加坡、日本等地的駐村與旅遊經驗而更加豐富多元;但近年來他逐漸遠離了城市的繁華與喧囂,進入大自然寧靜幽遠的境地。

2020年《若夢 – 林葆靈個展》展出的作品是藝術家2017年參與三年一次的越後妻有大地藝術季,在日本新瀉的山林裡遠望小村落燈火闌珊、如夢似幻的景致。在《雪國VI》中,他以劇場式的光跳脫景物固有的色彩, 透過藍、紫、銀等冷色系,將黑夜與雪季的冷冽靜謐凝結起來,點綴上黃、白色的閃爍燈火,展現藝術家對於光影的追求以及心中的溫暖,充滿詩意的想像。就如川端康成在《雪國》中所寫: 「有雪就有希望,雪是豐收的希望。」他試著用畫筆虛構一塊雲煙縹緲,令人心緒平靜,承載著希望的詩意夢土。

除了夢幻寫實的壯麗景致描繪,他也一直在象徵自我的「沒有名字的小傢伙」系列默默耕耘。每件出現小傢伙身影的創作皆是他生命經驗的書寫,他透過此系列表達出對生命的孤寂、無奈與堅持。在《斷軌 III》中,他將自己化為背著登山配件的小傢伙,在廣袤的宇宙軌道中小心翼翼地行走,但卻發現一切都是虛構的,人終究走不到另一個人的心上。即使如此,我們仍舊試圖在靠近另一顆心星的途中。

林葆靈作品中所描繪的景象交織著故事、記憶與現實,正如我們的夢境,會將日常生活的經驗及潛意識投射於其中。在夢中的我們彷彿身歷其境,所產生的情緒與感受與現實一樣深刻。對他來說,「浮生若夢,而創作就像是人生的縮影,造夢的過程。作品是虛構的夢境,我們在其中快樂苦痛;藉由虛構的夢境傳達自身真實的情感思緒,為虛無人生創造意義,繪出希望。」《若夢 – 林葆靈個展》展期從2020/10/3(六)至11/14(六),藝術家將出席10/3(六)下午4點的開幕活動,誠摯邀請您進入林葆靈創造的雪國幻境,一起做夢。

Deeply mesmerized by nightscapes, Lin Baoling has been seeking new ways to portray night scenes over the last decade. He developed a way of using multi-media vellum as his creative medium by allowing water-saturated acrylic paint flow across the non-absorbent, translucent vellum, creating a rich and surreal blooming effect. This flowing, uncertain, and ephemeral artistic style has been dubbed "dreamlike", mysterious, charming, and desirable by many collectors. Looking back at his works, such as Nocturne in Blue and Purple, TPE Nocturne, Kyoto Nocturne, Starry Night over Mt. Nanhu, Yellowed Night, and the more recent Snow Country series, it's evident he has mastered techniques and grown ever more proficient with different media. The themes of his works have also grown more diverse due to his travel and residency in locations including New York, Singapore, and Japan. In recent years, however, he has distanced himself from the boisterous noise of cities and moved into the remote and tranquil realm of nature.


The pieces displayed in the 2020 show, Like a Dream – Lin Baoling Solo Exhibition, depict dreamlike views of a scarcely lit village in the woods of Niigata, Japan - a scene he witnessed from afar during his participation of the triennial Echigo-Tsumari Art Field in 2017. In Snow Country VI, he emulated theatre lighting to free the objects from their original colors, using cool-toned colors such as blue, purple, and silver to capture the coolness and tranquility of the snowy night and sprinkled it with flickers of yellow and white. The piece demonstrated the artist's pursuit of light and shadow, the warmth in his heart, and his poetic imagination. As Yasunari Kawabata wrote in Snow Country, "Where there's snow, there's hope. Snow brings hope of a plentiful harvest." He attempted to use his brush to create a remote, sparsely populated, and poetic dreamland that carries a sense of hope and calm.


Aside from the dreamlike yet realistic depiction of magnificent scenery, he has also continued his Nameless Little Guy series, where the titular character truly represents the artist. Every work in which the Nameless Little Guy makes an appearance serves as a page out of Lin's experiences in life. Through this series, Lin wishes to tell of the loneliness, helplessness, and perseverance in life. In Broken Rail III, he transformed himself into the Little Guy with hiking gear, treading carefully on the rails in the vast universe. The Little Guy eventually finds out that everything is fictitious, and that a person cannot simply walk into another's heart. Despite this, however, we always seem to continue these attempts.


Lin's works depict a scenery with interwoven stories, memories, and reality much like our dreams, onto which our daily experiences and subconscious are projected. In the dream it's as if we are really there. The emotions and experiences run deep just as in real life. To Lin, "Life is like a dream, and the creative process is how dreams are made, a microcosm of life. Artworks are fictitious dreams, the happiness and suffering we experience inside. By conveying the true emotions and thoughts through these fictitious dreams, a picture of hope and meaning can be painted for the empty lives." Like a Dream – Lin Baoling Solo Exhibition opens Saturday, October 3, 2020 and concludes on Saturday, November 14. Lin himself will be attending the opening event at 4 pm on Saturday, October 3. We cordially invite you to enter and dream with us in Lin’s fantasy snow realm.

【實習記者游理涵/臺北市報導】畫家林葆靈的《若夢—林葆靈個展》自10月3日起至11月4日止於臺北索卡藝術中心展出,這次的作品的發想於林葆靈在2017年赴日本參加「越後妻有大地藝術節」活動時,在山林裡所看到小村落燈火闌珊、如夢似幻的景致所創作,展出兩大主題區,一為《雪國》系列,一為《沒有名字的小傢伙》系列。

這次個展取名為《若夢》,其中一個因素是藝術家在看到《紅樓夢》時所聯想到的名稱。林葆靈說,紅樓夢故事中的許多愛恨糾葛到最後都是一場夢,如夢似幻的情節其實和我們的人生很相似。而藝術家在創作這些作品時,其實就是在反映人生的際遇。

林葆靈的《雪國》系列,是其2017年前往日本新瀉參加「越後妻有大地藝術節」所看到的山林景致,心有所感而創作。他說,其實創作沒有一條事前規劃的道路,因為一直都很喜歡雪,所以就把在當地看到的景象畫下來。另一個是偏向藝術家個人內心的《沒有名字的小傢伙》系列,以複合媒材所畫出的「小傢伙」,代表著藝術家不同的想法和心境。其中「畫家與死神」作品,是想表達人生短暫,林葆靈說,每個人的生命都有一個期限。雖然感覺起來很負面,但他說,其實是希望在有生之年能盡力的創作,並將畫作傳承下去。

林葆靈,1981年生於臺北市,新加坡拉賽爾藝術學院畢業,回國後繼續研讀國立臺灣師範大學美術研究所的水墨創作組。有「鍊光藝術家」之稱,他擅長在製圖膠片上將顏料以流動的形式整合,創造出超現實的場景,在色與光影的交織中,捕捉影像在空間和時間的流動曲度。林葆靈曾參與新加坡「盛放台灣—台灣當代藝術展」,參展作品包括「俯瞰的夜晚街景」等。至今國內外聯展達四十多回,個展九回。曾獲得多項獎項,如2010年美國佛蒙特藝術中心(Freeman Foundation)亞洲藝術家獎,2011年金車新銳油畫獎首獎等。在台灣、新加坡、美國佛蒙特州都有參與過駐村計畫。

林葆靈的作品以夜晚的城市光景為創作靈感,有時是漫步山林或城市街道。創作風格在抽象與具象之間拉扯、擺動,時而模糊空間,時而流動效果。藍紫色調最常出現於畫作當中,以強烈的光影技法展現。除了夢幻壯麗的景致描繪,象徵藝術家自我的《沒有名字的小傢伙》系列也是林葆靈的創作題材。每個小傢伙的身影都代表著他的生命經驗書寫,他以此系列表達個人對生命孤寂、無奈與堅持。

《若夢—林葆靈個展》逢10月份的國慶連假,不妨進入林葆靈創造的雪國幻境,感受日常生活經驗與潛意識交織出的景象,一起做夢。
