高安柏現居淡水，畢業於國立臺北藝術大學美術學系碩士班，從小生活於山岳森林之中，透過與風景的角色置換和交織捕捉世界的瞬息，以水墨媒材的書寫性與墨的純粹來記述臺灣山岳的靈性與內在。其透過登山抵達山岳森林進行現場創作，蒐集不同種類的墨與土進行調和，研究純墨系與自然創作的可能性，對他來說，大自然就是最理想的工作室。而如何將山的內在世界充分地可見化，是高安柏持續在覓尋的議題。目前為水墨創作者與美術教師，並獲選為2023年新竹市鐵道藝術村長期駐村藝術家，進行為期一年的新竹登山創作。2024年則赴台南不存在劇場駐村，透過山海與身體共同繪畫，研究臺灣水墨山水與自然共創所產生的風景。作品與展覽曾獲文化部、國家文化藝術基金會、新竹市文化局、臺南市文化局、黃君璧美術獎助文教基金會、張光賓水墨獎學金、止止盦水墨獎學金、智邦藝術基金會等贊助，並曾於國立臺灣美術館、台北當代藝術館等展出。

我時常在迷霧森林中，蒐集山岳與雲煙留白產生的魂魄。在尋路跡的過程，可以清楚地發覺在森林中植物與植物之間的空隙與交織，此時透過樹林的分割而讓景色出現殘破的狀態，這種空間容易在起霧時得以發覺，尤其是當身處霧中，外部的光線試圖穿越森林與霧氣的屏障時最為明顯，此時畫面就像光在蠶食森林，又或是森林在吞噬光。

-

而在我畫中之雲煙，呈現張牙舞爪的霧氣與神似昆蟲蠶食的痕跡，都正是森林、光及雲霧相互在山中盤繞交纏的過程，可謂自然界陰與陽的纏鬥。也可以說是在起霧的山中無限進行視角轉換的活動。

-

當一座山被雲霧所壟罩，外部的人們只能看到被山嵐掩蓋的山嶽，此時我則眠於山岳之中，即雲之中，並慢慢地滲透進山體內。而我試圖讓山的內部穿透到山的外部，並與人分享眠於雲中被迷霧吞食的自我與過程。同時也是展現大自然互相在山岳寄宿的一種型態，而盤據在繪畫中山水的繁密煙雲，也就成為不可見事物的隱身術與迷山經過圖地反轉的可見化，亦或是幽玄、迷霧之森的穿透。

KAO, An-Bo currently resides in Danshui and graduated from the Master's program in Fine Arts at National Taipei University of the Arts. Growing up amidst mountainous forests, he captures the transient world through the interchange and interweaving of roles with landscapes. He describes the spirituality and essence of Taiwan's mountains using the expressive nature of ink and the purity of ink. He conducts on-site creations in mountain forests reached through mountaineering, blending different types of ink and soil to explore the possibilities of pure ink and natural creation. For him, nature is the most ideal studio. Visualizing the inner world of mountains is an ongoing pursuit for Kao Anbo. Currently, he works as an ink artist and art teacher. He was selected as a long-term resident artist at the Art Site of Railway Warehouse Hsinchu City for 2023, undertaking a one-year mountain creation project in Hsinchu. In 2024, he went to Tainan's Absence space for a residency, studying the landscapes created by Taiwanese ink landscape and natural co-creation through mountain and sea painting with the body. His works and exhibitions have been sponsored by various organizations, including the Ministry of Culture, National Culture and Arts Foundation, Hsinchu City Cultural Affairs Bureau, Tainan City Cultural Affairs Bureau, Huang Junbi Art Scholarship Cultural & Educational Foundation, Zhang Guang-bin Ink Award Scholarship, Accton Arts Foundation, and have been exhibited at the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts and Museum of Contemporary Art, Taipei.

I often find myself in the misty forest, collecting the souls born from the interaction of mountains and clouds. As I trace my path, I can distinctly perceive the gaps and intertwining between plants in the forest. Sometimes, the landscape seems fragmented due to the division of trees, especially noticeable when fog descends. At such times, the attempt of external light to penetrate through the forest and fog barrier is most apparent. It's as if the light is devouring the forest, or the forest is engulfing the light.

-

In my depiction of the clouds and mist, I portray the mist as menacing, resembling the marks left by insects devouring foliage. This reflects the intertwining struggle between the forest, light, and clouds in the mountains, a battle between nature's yin and yang. It can also be seen as an infinite shift in perspective amidst the foggy mountains.

When a mountain is shrouded in clouds, outsiders only see the peaks concealed by mountain mist. At such times, I find myself nestled within the mountains, within the clouds, gradually permeating into the mountain itself. I attempt to allow the mountain's interior to permeate its exterior, sharing with others the self and process engulfed by mist while nestled in the clouds. It's also a manifestation of the various forms in which nature resides within mountains, and the dense clouds and mist in the painting become a camouflage for the unseen, a reversal of visibility in the passage through the maze-like misty forest, a penetration of the mysterious, misty forest.
