“圣人含道暎物,贤者澄怀味象。至于山水,质有而趣灵。”这是宗炳《画山水序》的开篇之句,也是艺术家林海“灵境天成”系列作品给我的最初印象。他的作品无论是风格,还是表现形式,都是独立、异样的,有时甚至透着一丝东方的神秘感,而这种神秘感随着对林海作品的深入研究也在不断地加强。圣人的道是如何“暎物”的,贤者又是如何“味象”的,在艺术家林海的作品中又是如何体现的,这都要从“道”开始讲。我想,“道”是形而上的,虽然是抽象的,是看不见、摸不着的,但是,它是从一切具体事物中抽离出来的,它应是崇尚自然的。正如老子所说:“人法地,地法天,天法道,道法自然”。因此在艺术上的“道”越是自然越会产生打动人的作品。 “This is Zong Bing” painting landscape “opening sentence, but also the artist Lin Hai ” Lingjing Tiancheng “series My first impression of the work. His works, both style and manifestation, are independent and exotic, sometimes even revealing a sense of mystery in the East. And this mystery is constantly being strengthened with the in-depth study of Lin’s work. How the sage’s road is reflected in the works of the artist Lin Hai is how the ”sage“, the sage and the ”scent“ are from the ”Tao“. I think that ”Tao “ is metaphysical, though abstract, invisible and unpredictable. However, it is drawn from all concrete things and should be natural. As Lao Tzu said: ”The law of man and earth, heaven and earth, natural law, Tao natural“. Therefore, in art, the more ”natural" the more natural the more touching works it produces.
