Character Anecdotes
He made fun of himself and conquered the picky Japanese nation with a tiny engraving; with his fingers, he combined the blue sky, white clouds, herding horses, and grasslands of the grassland into The Mongolian yurts painted on oil, wax and chalk paintings are huge and expensive, and are favored by the demanding Japanese art market; his freehand Mongolian horses galloping in the air have impressed many Japanese artists. He has been studying in Japan since 1991. The foreign cultural atmosphere has given him rich experience and broad vision. Although he is not a tall man, he has lived there with his wife and daughter for more than 20 years with his skillful hands. He is Deliger, a Mongolian artist living in Japan.
On the Dragon Boat Festival in 2013, I sat face to face with Deliger at an outdoor bar in the suburbs, enjoying the fresh air that had cleared up after a few days of rain, cold beer, and charcoal roasted leg of lamb. The interview was just a chat. Style, in the excitement of eating and drinking meat-flavored wine, with his casual and simple attire, long flowing hair, honest and wise humor, and after a few bottles of wine, his words stopped flowing.
“You are living well abroad, why should you return to China for development.” This is the first question.
Deliger took a big sip of beer and said sadly: "The year before last, my father was suffering from cancer. I returned to China to see him off. My only brother also suffered from uremia and is now undergoing dialysis treatment. My mother is old and frail, and has no one to take care of her, so she has been stranded in China.”
Deliger is a special artist.
The Mongolians most worship their ancestor Genghis Khan, and Deliger is no exception. His father is a descendant of Merqi, a close friend of Genghis Khan, and a Mongolian from Wulianghai. His hometown of Karaqin was the earliest frontline position. Kara Mongolian means black, and black represents the toughest. Genghis Khan’s mount is a white horse, and his most proud general rides a black horse. Black is the most unlucky, but black is the bravest. Qin’s translation is People, Karaqin is the blackest and bravest Mongolian warrior who defends the border.
My mother’s surname is Jin, and she is the granddaughter of Alatan Khan. She has tested DNA and is the 17th direct descendant of Genghis Khan’s golden family. His mother has loved art since he was a child and hopes that he will develop in the art of calligraphy and painting. She subscribed to calligraphy and painting newspapers when he was in elementary school, hoping that he would develop in the art of calligraphy and painting in the future. However, he was born with a dissolute temperament and would not tolerate it. He was strict about writing posts and did not learn painting step by step. Being filial, he did not go against his mother's wishes. Through her mother's painstaking influence, he later understood the art of calligraphy and painting, and he couldn't stop it. He was especially addicted to seal cutting. He studied it for decades. If you study the art of seal cutting, you will eventually achieve success.
Deli Geer’s stage name is Moju. Mo is the initial letter "M" of the Mongolian people. Ju is the sound of "horse", which means a newly born foal. His name is Deli. Geer means a flower that is about to bloom. He has deep artistic feelings and strong national plot. Therefore, there is an artistic language that he is familiar with, and he cannot do without this vast and fertile artistic soil.
Deliger likes to be bold and bold, he loves drinking, almost to the point of alcoholism; he is good at singing, with a wide and honest voice, almost crazy; art requires thinking, he smokes as much as his life, just like greed; he loves life, He is good at cooking, and while chatting and laughing, he can serve a few dishes on the table, which is absolutely delicious and delicious.
Deliger was involved in compilation and engraving in his early years. When he was in college, he studied various schools of thought and worked concurrently on all four disciplines. He still loved Luo Yong, Luo Changpei, Li Jin, Jiang Liangda, and Lu Zongda. In his spare time, he studied "Shuowen" worships Li Yangbing and incorporates Gu Shiru's seal writing techniques from the Qing Dynasty. In Japan, I studied Deng's style of writing and appreciated the mysteries of Ku calligraphy. I took the merits of the "Shichen Stele" and "Zhang Qian Stele" and integrated them with the beauty of "Jingshiyu" in Mount Tai. The exquisiteness hides the ancient clumsiness, and the ancient clumsiness displays the strength.
Appreciate his seal carving works, an ordinary piece of seal material, a square inch of surface, a running horse, a lonely wolf, a strong camel, a fat yak, lifelike and vivid, the seals carved by him, It is exquisite, delicate, deep and simple, as graceful as ancient bronzes, just like the blue sky, white clouds and green grass.
The Mongolian horse is a god deep in Deliger's heart. The ancestors used horses as companions for hunting, nomadic herding, foreign expeditions and migration. The horse is an important symbol of the Mongolian people's reproduction and social prosperity and progress. . The freehand horse in his painting is the mount used by the Mongolian ancestors during the war. Especially the way he writes is vivid and unrestrained. The horse's mane and tail fly up, and his long hair also flies up.
A lightning-thundering Mongolian war horse is full of Deliger's feelings of longing for his ancestors, fear without hesitation, freedom without restraint, the power of going forward, and the momentum of neighing with his head held high. Inviolable majesty. This is a national temperament, a spirit of life, and a passionate interpretation of life.
Chinese freehand painting pays attention to charm and bones. Deliger's freehand Mongolian horses contain traditional compositions. He has lived in the grasslands of Inner Mongolia since he was a child. He was born with this in his bones and marrow. After many years, the seeds of art began to germinate, grow and bear fruit. His choice of creative subject matter is very correct, and his artistic blood is still fresh and active. Coupled with the experience of living abroad for so many years, his artistic path will become wider and wider.
“The smoke from the white yurt rises. I was born in a shepherd’s house. The vast grassland is the cradle that nurtured me. The land that raised me cherishes it as much as my body. The land that bathes me. River water is as sweet as mother's milk. This is what Mongolians love about their hometown."
Deliger holds a wine glass in his hand and sings loudly. This man admires art as a "god". The Mongolian man was intoxicated again.
