[藝評轉貼] Lin Bao Ling: Saatchi Online Critic's Choice by Rachael Young

林葆靈|Saatchi Online 評論家之選

文/Rachael Young

Lin Bao Ling's proficiency with a paintbrush interplays light and dark to dramatic contrast. Fragmented shards of colour appear blinding from within these dark landscapes, perhaps to be considered flashes of hope emerging from desolate environments. What is striking about Lin's work is his ability to convey personal sentiments towards urban life, to an extent illustrating his inner turmoil. As a viewer you feel both the push and pull, the bright lights tinged with a haunting appeal.

林葆靈以畫筆遊走於光與暗之間,營造出強烈而戲劇性的對比。在這些幽暗的風景中,破碎的色彩碎片自內部閃耀而出,刺眼奪目,彷彿是在荒涼環境中乍現的希望之光。林的作品之所以引人注目,在於他能夠傳達自己對都市生活的個人情感,甚至呈現出其內心的掙扎與矛盾。作為觀者,你同時感受到推與拉的張力——明亮的光影中,帶著一種揮之不去、令人不安的吸引力。
