Mr. Shi Zuquan has held art exhibitions in Beijing, Shenzhen, Singapore, Taipei and other places, and published introductory articles in more than 80 newspapers and periodicals at home and abroad, such as People's Daily, People's Daily (Overseas Edition) and Taiwan Province United Daily News. 1In February, 996, CCTV filmed the feature film Portrait of the Book Art Garden (No.47) for him and introduced it in the Oriental Time and Space Program. Hundreds of selected works were published in Hong Kong and Taipei, respectively, "Shi Zuquan's Flower and Bird Painting Collection" and "Shi Zuquan's Ink Painting Collection", which were highly praised by famous painters and readers.
Mr. Shi Zuquan, who is known as the "King of Qiantang Chicken", attaches great importance to life, often sketches in overseas, frontier and rural areas, and is willing to paint for others. He humbly learned from painters of past dynasties and had great respect for Mr. Pan Tianshou, the master of Chinese painting. He carved his own seal script "Shoumen Died". He carefully pondered Pan Gong's paintings, and found that they all had Pan Gong's style in composition, modeling and pen and ink interest, but they also had individuality. Because of his outstanding painting achievements, his deeds were recorded in China People's Yearbook and encyclopedia of China 1993 expert biography. Shi Zuquan studied Facebook with his cousin Shi Yaoqing when he was a child. Shi Yaoqing is famous for his fan painting in Liangshan. In the early 1950s, I studied painting with Mr. Chen Wangdou, president of Yiwu Normal School. After returning to Hangzhou, he studied with Pan Tianshou, Zhu Lesan, Lu and other Chinese painting masters, and his painting style became more and more open.
Just as Zheng Banqiao loves bamboo, Qi Baishi likes shrimp, Wu Zuoren Jing Niu, and Li Kuchan paints goshawk, Shi Zuquan's paintings have an indissoluble bond with chickens. The story of "smell the chicken dancing" and the poem of "sing a chicken to make the world white" both reveal a strong spirit of peace. In classical poetry, he will extract all the poems about chickens and study them carefully to appreciate the unique charm of chickens.
He raised a large group of chickens in an old-fashioned small wall door at the Shuiting site in Hangzhou: Xiaoshan Chicken, White Lake Chicken and Australian Black Chicken. He raised them from childhood to adulthood, observed the habits of chickens every day, and pondered their actions such as foraging for food and catching insects, fighting and flapping their wings, climbing and crowing. He often stood by the henhouse for hours, gawking at the touching scene of the furry chicken breaking out of its shell and snuggling under the hen.
In Shi Zuquan's view, to draw a weighty and creative work, it is bound to go through a process of tempering. Over time, he gets inspiration from life day after day, draws nutrients from the masterpieces of masters and western art, and at the same time pours his life ideals and aesthetic tastes into his pen thousands of times.
"Practice makes perfect, skill makes wonder, and wonder makes wonder." Over time, Shi Zuquan realized the true meaning of art: learning from foreigners is not learning from foreigners, but learning from foreigners. He painted a chicken with a large sum of money, with a red crown and golden claws and a high tail, and often used splash-ink calligraphy to show the vitality of the cock's wings. Although there are only a few strokes, the charm is perfect and the masculinity is on the paper.
Therefore, some experts have commented that the chicken painted by Mr. Shi Zuquan is between similarity and dissimilarity, which means that it is impossible to write, and this kind of "dissimilarity" and "less than" is precisely on the premise of "similarity" and "expressiveness", which simplifies or exaggerates the deformation and reaches a higher artistic realm. Shi Zuquan's basic skills are very solid. Needless to say, he draws chickens. Even he painted ducks, eagles, starlings, kingfishers, cranes, sparrows and sketches. The Xuan paper he painted can be pulled by a cart.
From 65438 to 0987, Shi Zuquan was invited to hold a solo exhibition in Beijing, which was a great success. An American couple admired Shi Zuquan's paintings and bought all his works on the spot. The famous Japanese calligrapher Guan Jiufeng visited the exhibition three times in a row and finally bought all the exhibits. Later, his works were exhibited in Singapore and Taipei and were well received. Shi Zuquan is currently the president of Hangzhou Painting and Calligraphy Research Association and a professor of Chinese painting department of Beijing Jinghua Art School. Facing honor and the tide of market economy, he is still modest and calm. He said, "We can't be trapped by money. Old gentlemen like Huang and Pan Tianshou were not rich during their lifetime, but they were absolutely rich spiritually. Of course, painting has entered the market and become a commodity. It is ok to get a proper return, but you can't charge exorbitant prices. People who really engage in art always pursue artistic innovation wholeheartedly, and will never think about auction all day long, thinking about raising the price of paintings to fool people.
Picturesque personality, he painted the most magnificent rooster to persuade people to forge ahead. If there is a charity sale, he is always on call and never puts on airs. He said: "In this land of the East, how many artistic ancestors have been bred and created endless artistic wealth for us. I am also a native oriental artist. I should inherit and carry forward the spirit of my ancestors and add luster to the times. " People have reason to believe that in the early morning of the 2nd/Kloc-0th century, Mr. Shi Zuquan will still "smell the chicken and dance" like Zu Ti, a famous eastern Jin dynasty, and his talent and passion will still come out of generate like the rising sun.
