【轉載】《那些比藝術更有趣的事》，《藝文風》雙月刊No.7 ｜Things More Interesting Than Art
摘自《藝文風》雙月刊No.7/ From "Art & Culture" Bimonthly No. 7，2016.03 - 04
有些藝術之外的事，重要而充滿趣味，通常也是激發創作靈感的來源。
Some things outside of art are important and full of interest; they are often the very sources that spark creative inspiration.
煉光藝術家林葆靈 繪畫與爬山都是種審美的過程
同樣是藝術家，同樣熱愛且尊敬大自然，和黃亦中不一樣的是，林葆靈是擁有登山魂的藝術家。爬山是習慣，從小父親就時常帶著家人四處遊歷，而爬山踏青是最頻繁的戶外活動，在山裡，與日常生活完全不同。一次的爬山經驗讓林葆靈重新回歸最基本的生存認知。一座中海拔的山，一位爬山的新手，寒冷的天氣與一場大雨。林葆靈將假暖的雨衣借給了對方卻也臉色淡潘，要享受樂趣前也需做足萬全準備。
就如同藝術家的藝術創作般，爬山和藝術在他看來是相通的事情，都是一種審美的過程，林葆靈笑著說兩個自己所熱愛的事物都需要昂貴的裝備與工具、都有點不切實際，但兩者都需要堅持並且一步一腳印，然後方能造就美景與賞心悅目的畫作。
林葆靈的創作多以夜晚的城市、街景為主，靜止的畫面，單一色調的街道，看似冷峻卻又流動。像電影鏡頭般讓街道躍上了畫紙仍有動態感，作品中的抽離感正如林葆靈經常以旁觀者姿態冷眼旁觀一切，不喜歡人多卻住在燈火搖曳的師大夜市旁；喜歡爬山卻不在意攻頂，爬山時完全放空，只專一心志，排掉都市的髒空氣，然後享受山林的一切。
Luminance Artist Lin Bao-ling: Both Painting and Mountain Climbing Are Processes of Aesthetic Appreciation
As an artist who also deeply loves and respects nature, Lin Bao-ling differs from Huang Yi-chung in that he possesses the soul of a mountaineer. Climbing is a habit for him; since childhood, his father often took the family on travels, with hiking being their most frequent outdoor activity. In the mountains, life is entirely different from the everyday routine. One particular climbing experience forced Lin to return to the most basic awareness of survival: a mid-altitude mountain, a novice climber, freezing weather, and a heavy downpour. Lin lent his thermal raincoat to the beginner, even as his own face turned pale from the cold. He realized that before one can enjoy the pleasure of the experience, one must be fully prepared.
Just like artistic creation, Lin views mountain climbing and art as interconnected—both are processes of aesthetic appreciation. He notes with a smile that both things he loves require expensive equipment and tools, and both can seem a bit impractical. However, both demand persistence and a step-by-step approach before one can finally achieve a beautiful vista or a pleasing painting.
Lin Bao-ling's works primarily focus on nocturnal cities and streetscapes. His static scenes and monochromatic streets appear cold yet fluid. Like a cinematic lens, he brings streets to life on paper while maintaining a sense of movement. The sense of detachment in his work reflects his own tendency to observe the world as an outsider. Despite disliking crowds, he lives next to the bustling lights of the Shida Night Market. He loves climbing but is indifferent to reaching the summit; instead, he uses the climb to completely empty his mind, focus his spirit, expel the polluted city air, and simply enjoy everything the mountain forest has to offer.
