光影徘徊—林葆靈 新作＋精選 創作個展 

( ↓ English version below)

作者：司徒嘉慧

閃爍懾人夜色 揮灑都市油彩畫家林葆靈以強烈的光影明暗，對比出濃重夜色中的城市形狀。明亮的玻璃帷幕，堆疊出遠近的高樓，光芒四射的櫥窗、招牌、街燈、車燈，妝點出綿延的街道。會喜愛以夜景為題材，是因為「白天看似平淡無奇的地方，到晚上，點上了燈，往往就變得很有戲劇性，非常吸引我，」林葆靈說。畫布上，徘徊在光與影、動與靜之間的城市夜晚，迷人冷豔。

他更將水墨技法，融入油畫與版畫。不管是大片留白的雪夜紐約，還是渲染後更覺迷濛的雨中台北，都流露一絲空靈曠遠，也留下身處繁華浮世的寂寞感。「我覺得光和影是相生相剋的，因為光愈強，影愈深，」他說。同時展出他在新加坡求學時期的精選作品，相較於近期畫作的夜色多為深藍或濃紫，那時有更多繽紛的紅、黃、橘、綠色的夜景。觀者可以明顯感受到不同緯度、氣候、甚至心境，對藝術家的影響。

Wandering Light and Shadow — Lin Bao Ling: New Works & Selected Paintings Solo Exhibition

By Szu-Tu Chia-Hui

Flashing and mesmerizing nightscapes unfold beneath the brush of urban painter Lin Bao Ling. Through dramatic contrasts of light and darkness, he defines the forms of cities immersed in deep night. Illuminated glass façades layer distant and nearby skyscrapers, while glowing shop windows, signboards, street lamps, and headlights adorn endless streets.

“What attracts me to night scenes is that places which appear ordinary during the day often become incredibly dramatic once the lights are turned on at night,” Lin Bao Ling says.

On his canvases, cities wander between light and shadow, movement and stillness. Their nocturnal beauty is at once captivating and coolly elegant.

Lin further incorporates the techniques of traditional ink painting into his oil paintings and prints. Whether depicting the vast empty spaces of snowy nights in New York or the rain-soaked streets of Taipei rendered hazy through layered washes, his works convey a sense of ethereal openness while also suggesting the loneliness of living amidst worldly prosperity.

“I think light and shadow are mutually dependent and mutually opposing,” he explains. “The stronger the light, the deeper the shadow.”

The exhibition also features selected works from his student years in Singapore. Compared with his recent paintings, whose nocturnal palettes are dominated by deep blues and rich purples, these earlier works reveal more vibrant reds, yellows, oranges, and greens. Viewers can clearly sense how different latitudes, climates, and even states of mind have influenced the artist’s development.
