凝視生命–歸真 Gaze into Life-Returning (2003)

「凝視生命」並無法解決我的生命問題。終於在02年一次長達七天的禁食禱告中讓我真正的得到重生。因此在回到Victoria之後我準備了這次畫展。我將它定名為「歸真」也就是表現了在回歸真理後的新生,也同時確定了生命的歸宿。到這裡「生是生命,死也是生命」才真的落實了!更有趣的是當時Tom幫畫廊翻譯英文時用了Returning 這個字也正種了下一階段「重返」伊甸的契機。

Returning,” the English translation of the title for this exhibition, offers little more than a pinhole glimpse of the two characters in Chinese, which literally mean ‘return to unpolished jade (purity) and return to truth’ respectively. These two simple characters resonate wonderfully in Chinese, and the simplicity of “returning” may capture some of it by transference. Oliver Lin aspires to drop all affectation in a return to original purity and simplicity; to regain nature and thus to rediscover the true self.
