In the year 2008 Professor Bao Lin was inspired to make a serious of powerful drawings, in all about 500 of them.

2008年包林教授借助于內(nèi)心的感受，創(chuàng)作了一系列具有震撼力的繪畫作品，那是一氣呵成的500張16開大小的黑白素描畫。

They were done over the winter of 2008 under compelling emotional pressure in reaction to tragic events both nationally and in Prof. Bao’s private life. The horrifying Sichuan earthquake was the main public event. The deaths of several friends under tragic circumstances effected him on a personal level. As the drawings were done he displayed them on his studio wall making a large mural, and they provoked a continuing dialogue between himself and the drawings.

作品創(chuàng)作于2008年的冬季，創(chuàng)作背景是內(nèi)心充滿著強(qiáng)烈壓抑而產(chǎn)生的無法抑制的沖動(dòng)狀態(tài)，那些強(qiáng)烈的壓抑和無法抑制的沖動(dòng)，來源于大家的國家汶川大地震，和小家的親人、朋友的病魔纏身和突然離去。一氣呵成完成作品后，包教授把他們都懸掛在工作室的四周，依依仰視著他們、用自己的靈魂與他們的靈魂，進(jìn)行著‘二地’的心理對(duì)話，試圖使雙方‘缺氧的靈魂’沖出這缺氧的狀態(tài)。

The constant theme of the series was a drawing of a human face in close up and each one with an oxygen tube in the right nostril. They all have expressions of stress, pain and discomfort. They are drawn quickly in a broad, confident technique which alters depending on the state of the professor’s feelings at that moment.

這組創(chuàng)作主題單一的畫面，是正面直視你的人臉的特寫，每個(gè)人經(jīng)右耳到右鼻孔邊連接著一根氧氣管。每幅作品都人們展示著壓抑、痛苦和因痛苦而扭曲的臉。作品一氣呵成完成于速寫本上，技法嫻熟，充分地展示了包教授那段‘心靈缺氧’的感受時(shí)分。

Each drawing is from the heart and mediated by his artistic conscience and skilled draftsmanship, so that instead of merely illustrating his personal unhappiness they make a general statement about human mental pain and a serious but disturbing art work.

包教授的每幅作品都來自于他的心靈、藝術(shù)家的悲天慈地的心和嫻熟地繪畫技法，我領(lǐng)悟到，這不僅僅是一些展示著他個(gè)人不愉快的作品，而是展示了人類的內(nèi)心精神的感受，是影響和產(chǎn)生優(yōu)秀藝術(shù)創(chuàng)作的重要因素。
