Lin Bao-ling’s artistic works combine contemporary ink and lighting. He uses drafting films and other unorthodox materials as a canvas for painting. These materials are similar to the qualities of plastic, such that diluted paints can flow freely on their surface before condensing. The style is reminiscent of how light drifts across a city, freeze-framing beautiful moments and memories. This is why Lin is known as the “light-refining” artist.
He has held exhibitions in the U.S., Singapore, and Taiwan. Not having attended school before the age of fifteen, Lin has had an eccentric learning process, fearlessly pioneering his painting style. He will be holding a solo exhibition in Tainan in October, titled Sleepless Nights, which is derived from Shuidiao Getou, a traditional Chinese melody by the Song Dynasty poet Su Shi. Having had many sleepless nights, Lin came to form his own painting style through a collision with the world and its rules.
