林葆靈丨若夢

近期於索卡藝術台北空間展出的林葆靈個展「若夢」中，可見這位始終著迷於描繪夜景的藝術家，近年跨出過往長期凝視的城市景致，投向雪國風景後的一次飛躍。2017年林葆靈前往日本「越後妻有大地藝術祭」（Echigo-Tsumari Art Field）期間，於新潟縣十日町之所見，成為此次展覽的視覺意象基底。
清冷高懸的滿月之下群山綿延，皚皚白雪間散佈著燈火闌珊，藝術家獨自踏雪夜行的視角具唯美之風，也不禁令人如對鏡一般望見這邊形單影隻、卻也於其中首先獲得療癒的創作者。林葆靈以添加過量水的壓克力顏料在半透明的製圖膠片上作畫，藍黑色調的畫面中滲入了水彩暈染般的夢境氛圍。在這些冷冽風景中，題為「蘊春」的一組小幅作品以刮拭手法顯露出雪國夜色之下的春意黯然，為一片靜謐捎來些許生命的爭鳴。
在這種迷離幻境中，另一條主題線索穿插其間，也自成一格。這一被藝術家稱為「沒有名字的小傢伙」的角色是其精神世界之投射，孑然一身行走於荒野中、蔓草間、星塵上，也以小雕塑形象出現在展場中。無神的眼眶映襯出似乎定格的殘月，無邊的孤寂似乎貫穿其世界，但整個系列中仿佛寓意最沉重的死神，卻不時以同行良伴的形象出現，闢出新的精神軸線。林葆靈的創作遊走於出世與入世間，繪出他真實的生命寫照。

Lin Bao Ling | Like a Dream
By Yan Xiao-xiao · Taipei
November 10, 2020
In Lin Bao Ling’s recent solo exhibition Like a Dream at Soka Art Taipei, one can observe a major leap in the artist’s work. Always fascinated by depicting nightscapes, he has stepped beyond the urban views he long gazed upon to embrace the snowy landscapes. What he witnessed in Tokamachi, Niigata Prefecture, during his trip to the Echigo-Tsumari Art Field in Japan in 2017 became the visual conceptual foundation for this exhibition.
Beneath a crisp, solitary full moon hanging high, mountain ranges stretch endlessly, with faint lights scattered across the pure white snow. The artist’s perspective—walking alone through the snow at night—possesses an aesthetic grace. It inevitably makes viewers feel as if looking into a mirror, glimpsing this solitary creator who nonetheless finds solace first within these quiet scenes. Lin paints on translucent multi-media vellum drafting film using acrylic paint heavily diluted with water, infusing the blue-black compositions with a dreamlike atmosphere reminiscent of watercolor washes. Amidst these chilly landscapes, a series of small-scale works titled Beneath the Snow employs a scraping technique to reveal subtle hints of spring beneath the snow-covered night, bringing a gentle resonance of life to the serene quietude.

Within this luminous, hazy realm, another thematic thread weaves through, standing distinct on its own. The character referred to by the artist as "The Nameless Little Guy" serves as a projection of his spiritual world—wandering alone across wildernesses, through overgrown weeds, and over stardust, while also appearing as small sculptures in the exhibition space. Blank, hollow eyes mirror a seemingly frozen crescent moon, and a sense of boundless solitude seems to permeate its realm. Yet Grim Reaper-like figures, which seem to carry the heaviest symbolism in the series, occasionally appear as comforting companions, opening up a new spiritual framework. Lin Bao Ling’s creation wanders between detachment and worldly engagement, painting a true reflection of his life’s journey.
