心流象遷(1982-2001) | 林勤霖的抽象天地

林勤霖廿年回顧展
高雄市立美術館
民國91年11月27日~92年1月19日
這個展覽只涵蓋了由「白色時期」開始迄2001的20年，陳列的作品部份由公、私收藏借展雖不得窺其全貌，但所呈現的仍是一種由內養而外彰所統攝的整全。
1982年經由自動性的「去知、去故」消解了感官經驗與製作技法的因循而標誌出一個無限多可能性的起點。自此，得以無礙的將主體的生命精神徹底的流露出來！在往後的系列作品中每每都煥發著由生活中所蘊化出來的特殊氣質。因此，欣賞這群作品不能只專注於客觀的物理呈現。若能經由心靈去粹取其主觀的精神內涵，則必能獲得更豐足的心靈體驗。(延伸閱讀: 我的創作觀連結林論

Mind & Matter(1982-2001)
A 20-Year Retrospective Exhibition of Works by Oliver Lin
Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts
November 27, 2002~January 19,2003
The paintings by Oliver Lin selected for this major exhibition map the evolution of his work over the last 20 years, commencing with the crucial ‘White Period.’ The works normally reside in private and public collections, and although far from exhaustive, the exhibition nevertheless provides a fully consonant representation of his oeuvre, which we find ruled by the artist’s own unrelenting quest to ‘nurture the inner world, that it may manifest in the outer.’

In 1982 Lin discovered Automatism. Its revelation freed him from a rut of mundane sensual experience and an obsession with manual technique. This step marked the starting point of a journey to possibilities as yet unbounded. Traveling in uncharted territory Lin’s spirit gushes forth in unrestrained outward manifestations – his art. Each piece emanates an extraordinary aura, an unlooked-for synergy created by the transmuting energy charging his daily regimen. Thus Lin’s works are best appreciated not by concentrating on their objective or physical attributes. Rather they should be permitted to work subjectively, spiritually, alchemically; and thus they lead to mysterious gardens of sublime and transcendent delight. About Lin: Oliver Lin’s Long and Solitary Path

白色及格物時期
之前，曾跌跌撞撞在先驅者的巨大足跡之上。
偶然間，我闖入了自動性的「偶然」中而開啓了「白色時期」的「發現」之門。
從此，表層的結構自由得以充份彰顯。
接著，「格物」更挖掘了材質的深沉內涵。

這兩個階段除了在技巧上為日後的作品奠基之外，也同時標示了一個值得驅馳一生的方向。

White and Objects Exploring Periods
Before this point, while stumbling along on the huge footprints of forerunners, I happened to enter the automatic “chance” and opened the door to the “white period” of discovery. From that time on, the freedom of the structure has been fully expressed. Afterwards, the objects exploring method further uncovered the depth of materials.
Apart from strengthening the technique of my later works, these two periods also pointed out a direction worthy of lifetime efforts.

時光的刻痕
1986年因母親的辭世而驀然驚覺：
人一出生，其所能持有的「時間量」即已經被「給定」！因此，人只是一種悲劇式的存在，從出生開始一步步的趨向死亡而終結。
此時，在畫布上我用了大量的黑色加上厚重的肌理來呈現類似自然界物質在時光蝕刻下所留下來的痕跡。黑暗佈滿畫面，濃得化不開的灰色塊鬼魅般的如影隨形。萬有在時間的鞭韃下傷痕累累。

Tracks of Time
When my mother passed away in 1986, I started the “Track of Time Series” with deep melancholy. Black occupied the whole canvas and heavy gray shapes took form like clingy and ghostlike shadows. I realized the fact that time scars all things with its cruel lashing. In this world, a person’s life span is predetermined at the moment when he or she is born. It is somewhat like a clock which can only wind up once and the cycle of operation was decided by the length of its spring alone. So, men live a tragic life till his life’s end.

時光的詩趣
1989年春天，
在慕尼黑的一個博物館中邂逅了一群不明作者的石雕。
在超越時空的心靈感通之中，我看到了藝術生命的無限性。緣此，
陽光昇起，陰霾遠逸！在不朽的自我期許中，色彩如流雲歡歌於藍天之下。
世界如是美好！

Poetic of Time

I encountered a group of stone carvings of unknown artists in Munich when I visited a museum in the spring of 1989. Through a transcendental communion, I see the endless life of art. So, the sun shone high above and the darkness escaped away from me! With the expectation of possible immortality, colors singing with joy like clouds rambling under the blue sky.
It is a wonderful world!

時光的省思
雲淡風輕和狂沙暴雨同樣不是生命的常態。
畢竟，厚實的生命始終奠基於一種均衡：不卑的自省與不亢的自許。
於是，覺悟者得以在這種「中和」之中健步前行！

The Reflection of Time

Neither serenity nor tempestuousness is the normal state of life. In fact, our rich lives are based on a kind of balance between un-humble self-reflection and un-arrogant self-expectation. Thus, a person with such understanding is able to fulfil himself by following this “middle course."

凝視生命
經歷了半世紀的沖刷與沉澱。新世紀的開始鈎起了對生命更多的眷戀。但也體認了在時空的流轉中的種種必然。於是我寫了：

凝視生命—-在山巔在海湄
在花在樹在不羈的雲
在爬蟲在飛鳥
在魚在獸在嬉戲的彩蝶間
凝視生命—-在樓榭在孤舟
在牖在籬在窮荒的石徑
在晨光在夕陽
在霧在虹在綿綿的細雨裡
凝視生命—-在經典在史冊
在歌在詩在放縱的墨韻
在淺笑在秋波
在聲在色在杯底紅艷的幻影中
凝視生命—-在傴僂在跛行
在斑在痕在稀疏的銀絲
在針尖在刀口
在疾在殘在冰冷的死榻上
了悟晦昧的必然於心靈的淬煉之后於是，
喜是生命悲也是生命
靜對入滅的必然於肉身的衰頹之后於是，
生是生命死也是生命

Gaze into Life

After half a century of wax and wane, my craving for life became even stronger at the beginning of the new century. But I also came to understand the many essentialities that emerge from the evolution. I therefore write:
Gaze into life —-
through peak, through shore,
through flower, through tree, and
through clouds running free
through bug, through bird,
through fish, through beast, and
through butterflies fluttering at ease

Gaze into life —-
through tower, through boat,
through window, through fence, and
through the winding path of barren lands

through dawn, through dusk,
through rainbow, through haze, and
through the drizzle never cease

Gaze into life —-
through scripture, through history,
through song, through poem, and
through the untrammeled ink tone

through chuckle, through ogle,
through sound, through shape, and
through the ruby goblet shade

Gaze into life —-
through stoop, through stagger,
through spot, through scar, and
through the thinning silver strands

through needle, through knife,
through illness, through handicap, and
through the icy dying bed

Through the spiritual trail on and on,
terminal darkness is appointed that I know
Now I could smile and say:
Life plays the game with loss and gain

Through freshly downhill all the way
final expiration is fated that I see
Now I could grin and shout:
Life writes songs with tune and rest.
