黑夜城市中的流動光影:林葆靈繪畫創作之意涵試探

Abstract

本文以個人對世事無常， 流轉不停的感受出發，藉由城市夜晚的光影為載體來抒發情感， 通過承載著象徵意義， 又有著相生相剋本質的光與影來探討生命中無處不在的二律背反/悖論, 即世間種種一體兩面的矛盾人事物，以及真理的辯證性和相關的中西方理論， 同時試著學習包容與欣賞矛盾。 藉由吸水性弱的羊皮紙結合水墨複合媒材， 營造有別於在宣紙上所能呈現的流動感; 黑色顏料和白色顏料流動交融， 產生了光影流動互滲的效果， 彷彿二元對立的融合， 最終造成了場域辨識性的模糊而使得光影凸顯， 彷彿那看不清的是非對錯與真實。

Interested in the symbolic meanings and the relationship between light and darkness, my works focus on the artificial lights in the urban nightscapes. The blurry nightscapes are constructed with light and darkness. Without an obvious landmark, I intend to create a spiritual atmosphere, and express my inner feeling toward city and life- ephemeral and fleeting, and the feeling is solidified into the flowing quality in the paintings. . The blurry nightscape is linked to the blurry boundary of right and wrong/truth and lie, and all the contradictions, and also the feeling of been trapped in the fog, unable to locate oneself and find a way out. Light and darkness seems contrasting and opposing to each other, but are actually two sides of the same coin. Allowing the light (white/bright pigment) and darkness (black/dark pigment) flowing into each other, is like a practice of learning to accept the two sides of things.
