( ↓ English version below)
青年藝術家林葆靈在二十五歲那年才在新加坡領到人生中第一張文憑，他有者不同於一般年輕創作者的學經歷，一路走來未曾對創作迷惘，他很清楚知道自己的夢想，紀錄下每一段走過的城市夜裡。
外型清瘦的林葆靈，他的學習過程很特殊，從小在父親堅持下，林葆靈兄弟倆都在家自學，這段期間林葆靈沒有受到一般教學的箝制，開放心靈自由的發展。林葆靈說，過世的父親堅持信念的思想深深的影響著他，不僅個性如此，創作上也敢勇於跟別人不同，不想只學會重覆別人的東西。

在家自學到十三歲負笈新加坡，二十五歲拿到榮譽學士學位。再回到台灣，目前於師大美術研究水墨組攻讀博士。從原本學的西洋油畫，轉換到東方水墨領域，各種不可能擦撞後融合成各種可能性，從他的油畫作品中可以發現水墨的精神，充滿留白、渲染效果的油畫，形成獨特而有趣的對話。
林葆靈更於2011年以善長的光影表現，一舉奪得「第四屆金車青年油獎」首獎，並於今年12月3日在金車教育機金會的協助下，推出精選新作。近期的創作大多以城市、街景為主。他記憶中的街道，只有藍黑單一色調，看似冷峻，畫面卻是流動的，像電影鏡頭般讓街道躍上了畫紙仍有動態感。用大量的清水營造出帶有流動感的模糊光影風景，遊走在抽象與具象之間，展現出是非、對錯、與真假…兩極對立、拉扯的茫然感。
許多年輕創作者在追尋自己風格過程中會出現徬徨與掙扎，這似乎沒有出現在向來有自己想法的林葆靈身上，相較於其他部分創作者擔心未來創作之路，林葆靈顯然堅定許多。
夜裡的變化與光影，閃耀著青年創作的夢想，「林葆靈油畫創作個展」即日起至12月30日於金車文藝中心臺北館(台北市南京東路2段1號3樓 週二至週日10:00~18:00)進行展出，邀民眾往免費參觀，洽詢電話(02)2562-8629。

Wandering Light and Shadow: Emerging Artist Lin Bao Ling Turns Dreams into Brilliance
(CNA News Service, November 7, 2012, 2:47 PM)
Young artist Lin Bao Ling did not receive his first diploma until the age of twenty-five in Singapore. His educational background and life experience differ greatly from those of most young artists. Yet throughout his journey, he has never been uncertain about his artistic path. He has always known his dream clearly—to record every city night he has walked through.
Slim in appearance, Lin Bao Ling has had an unusual educational journey. Under the firm conviction of his father, both he and his brother were homeschooled from an early age. During those years, he was free from the constraints of conventional schooling, allowing his mind and creativity to develop with openness and independence. Lin says that his late father's unwavering beliefs profoundly influenced him—not only in his personality but also in his artistic practice, giving him the courage to be different and the determination not to merely repeat what others had done before.
After being homeschooled, he left for Singapore at the age of thirteen and earned his Bachelor of Arts with Honours at twenty-five. He later returned to Taiwan and was, at the time of this interview, pursuing doctoral studies in the Ink Painting Program at the Graduate Institute of Fine Arts of National Taiwan Normal University. Having shifted from Western oil painting to the realm of Eastern ink painting, he merged seemingly incompatible traditions into new possibilities. The spirit of ink painting can be seen throughout his oil works: expanses of empty space and diffusion effects create a unique and intriguing dialogue between East and West.
In 2011, Lin won First Prize at the Fourth King Car Young Oil Painting Award with his masterful treatment of light and shadow. With the support of the King Car Education Foundation, he presented a selection of new works in December of the following year. His recent creations have focused primarily on urban and street scenes. In his memories, streets exist in a single palette of blue and black. Though seemingly cold and restrained, the images remain fluid, retaining the dynamism of cinematic sequences even after being transferred onto canvas. By employing large amounts of water, he creates blurred landscapes filled with flowing light and shadow, moving between abstraction and representation while expressing the uncertainty born from opposing forces—right and wrong, truth and illusion, affirmation and denial.
Many young artists experience confusion and struggle while searching for their own style, yet such uncertainty seems absent from Lin Bao Ling, who has always possessed a clear sense of direction. Compared with some artists who worry about the future of their creative careers, Lin appears remarkably steadfast and confident.
The ever-changing light and shadow of the night continue to illuminate the dreams of this young artist. Lin Bao Ling Solo Exhibition was on view through December 30 at the King Car Cultural & Art Center Taipei, inviting the public to experience his work free of charge.
