With a vivid imagination and a profound usage of brilliant, shimmering lights, Singapore-based Taiwanese artist Lin Bao Ling succinctly captures the neon haze of urban nightscapes – the vibrancy of the city and the complexity of city-dwelling. His paintings appear melancholy yet at the same time burst with energy, just as the irony that is the essence of modern cities. Nocturne II is a continuation to his previous solo exhibition, Nocturne, at Plastique Kinetic Worms; Bao Ling stays true to his resounding style of surreal lights, urban landscapes and rain-stained windows. It’s somber, yet festive abstract nature questions the viewer and begs for release.

Since Connoisseur Artworks was founded in early 2006, we have strived to create a system of bi-monthly exhibitions showcasing art works by emerging local and international artists. Thus far, we have had three successful exhibitions – one group and two solo exhibitions. As a continuation to this winning model, we are pleased to showcase the art works of Singapore-based Taiwanese artist Lin Bao Ling.
Bao Ling’s art has an intrinsically evocative feeling about it, much like that artist himself. The incandescent portrayal of light contrasts with the gloom of darkness, and eschews a depth of feeling and artistry that befits a much more mature outlook than his youthful 25 years.
Although Nocturne II is only his second solo exhibition, it is clear to see why he has been oft described as a ‘gifted artist’. There is indeed an exceptional quality to his art work.
His paintings appear to transcend the mortal and emit an ethereal light. You can almost feel as if you are living and breathing inside the urban landscapes which he portrays. Its power and allure subtly tugs at one’s sense of feeling.
His subject of cityscape, although nothing new, is deeper than a simple over-exposed photograph because his paintings are a translation of his place in modern society. He meshes real and imaginary landscapes, tosses in a basket of his own emotions, and re-creates the city in a stunning magnificence.
