洪凌，一位结合西画技巧，体现东方艺术的大家，沥旧淬新，将内心五感的体验无限延伸至眼前的自然，用视线、呼吸、听觉、触感、味道重新塑造个人的Scene(景)。

有人用女性的身体去形容洪凌的景。那层层堆栈的雾气白，笼罩着大笔滴洒的桃李粉，隐约闪烁在枝枒后头儿的嫩芽青，垂挂在那刚硕的山石褐旁边，据说是女性脖子后头连接发际的肌肤、是刚睡醒还带点干涩的唇、是脊椎后面那条浅浅的沟槽，是女性的呼吸、湿润在吐气。也有人用味道来替洪凌的景命名。浓的化不开的茄紫，角落边那道肤白，从底部喷张的黑色线体，是厨房里炒锅中的饭香、是化妆台上那刚拆封的粉扑味、是垦丁海边的细沙味儿。

洪凌放大他的五感去体会最纯粹的美，用他的身体去书写，解构了一般的景，拆卸了景的具象形体，却含括更细微的空间流动、光影的闪烁、气味的飘散，所以有人才说洪凌的画作是气候、是质感、是距离、是风。有别于波洛克（Jackson Pollock）从浅意识的深层挖掘，滴洒在画布上的创伤，洪凌的作品回归到自身文化，表现出自在的生活观点。我们不将其视为山水，而将他的画面视为温雅的反叛。

伟大的艺术是超越领域，并且会引起思想革命的。(村上隆，艺术创业论)

洪凌在创作上突破传统景的既有概念，由写实经过写意而走向意象的表现主义，以自我的艺术之笔再现国画与油彩交融之境，肇于自然，发于胸襟；。体用之间，革了媒材与主题的命，横越了中西文化两大领域，创新了一种根于传统却轻松写意的艺术规则。

洪凌的自我坚持以及富含着中国文化强大的底蕴，让其作品在1997年即获得威尼斯双年展评委会的肯定，站上国际舞台，奠定了自己的艺术地位。洪凌在追求艺术这条道路上，以异中求同、同中求异的态度，展现其淬炼精神；以其革命性的活力、交融题材与媒材的创造力，在这波风潮里，蜕为呼峯唤语的艺术大师！

“Any Scene You Want---- A Solo Exhibition by Hong Ling”
Press Release

Calling Forth the Mountain Peaks and Words

Hong Ling is well known for utilizing western painting technique in the realization of eastern art. The way in which he combines new and old allows Hong to focus his inner sensory experiences and extend them infinitely outwards into the natural world, re-crafting individual scenes through hearing, sight, touch, smell and taste.

Some have described Hong’s landscapes as reminiscent of the female body; the layers of misty whiteness covering luscious pinkness, the green buds faintly shimmering behind the branches, Hong against a powerful brown rocky mountain-face. This is the skin on the back of a woman’s neck where it meets with the hairline, the ever so slight dryness of her lips on first waking, the shallow alluring valley tracing her spine, a woman breathing; the dampness of her breath.
Others have suggested that Hong ’s scenes are best understood as representations of taste; an all consuming thick eggplant purple, the strip of skin-like whiteness in the corners, the black lines that explode from the bottom of the work. This is the fragrant aroma that wafts from the kitchen when cooking, the lingering odor of make-up just-removed, around a dressing table, the smell of fine sand on the Kenting coast.

Hong Ling magnifies his senses to experience the purest beauty, using his own body to write or deconstruct everyday scenes. He tears away the representational forms of scenes and infuses them with spatial flow, the interplay of light and shade and the dissemination of tastes and smells. This is why some critics have likened Hong’s paintings to the weather, texture, distance and the wind. Whereas Jackson Pollock dug things from the depths of his subconscious and represented his pain on canvas, Hong Ling’s works focus on his own culture and reflect a point of view that is essentially comfortable with life. We do not look at his paintings as landscapes but more a rejection of refinement.

Great Art Transcends Genres and Leads to a Revolution in Thinking---by Takashi Murakami, Theory of Artistic Creativity ，《艺术创业论 》In his creative work Hong Ling departs from traditional ideas of scenes. Starting with realism he embraced freehand brushwork and then moved in the direction of image expressionism. Hong explored the boundaries between Chinese painting and oil painting in a way that is born of nature and resonates with the human heart. Between body and function, he launched a revolution in media and theme that bestrides Chinese and Western cultures, creating artistic rules which, though rooted in tradition, are more laid-back and freehand.

Hong Ling’s creative focus and rich background in Chinese culture were two of the factors behind his success at the Venice Biennial in 1997 and such international renown has solidified his artistic standing. As part of his continued pursuit of art, Hong seeks out commonality in heterogeneity and divergence in commonality to showcase his artistic spirit. With his revolutionary vitality, overlapping subject matter and creative use of media, Hong Ling is transformed into an artistic master calling forth mountain peaks and words.
