The rivers and lakes are vast and there are great rivers and mountains.
"Wang Ziyou in the mountains, heavy snow at night, can't sleep, can't open a room, life discretion wine. Looking around Jiao Ran, because of hesitation, he recited Zuo Si's Poems of Solitude. Suddenly, I remembered Diane Road, which I always wear, even when I take a boat at night. When I arrived at Sufang, I built the door and didn't return. When people asked him why, the king said, "I left on impulse and came back exhausted." Why should I wear it? "("Shi Shuo Ren Xinyu Dan ") How free and easy this is, it can be described as Wei and Jin demeanor, and it can be described as a manifestation of family and nature. Speaking of affection and sex, as Mr. Luo Zongqiang, a master in the history of literary thought in Nankai University, said, this kind of affection is also sex. Love is the first, love leads the body to work, and everything is aimed at the blooming of beauty. Ink painting needs to be carried out according to its nature because of its special meaning of pen and ink and the expression of the writer's comprehensive feelings.
Mountains are alive because of water, spiritual because of clouds, beautiful because of trees and strange because of peaks. Rocks, flowing water and white clouds are common images in the paintings of landscape painter Li Ming. Mountain springs gush out, wild water suddenly rises, and peaks, forests, valleys and valleys are clearly shown. The beauty of dyeing and rubbing lies in nature and beauty, richness and beauty without losing the meaning of pen and ink. Also at home, the water is running. Form a kind of generosity, a kind of plain, a kind of straightforward, both north and south winds. Look at its ink color, not thick or light, like a clear stream, like a clear spring, like a river, not excited or turbulent. However, the waterfall is also out, seamless and natural. This is just the pool deep enough for canoeing, and I am used to seeing the distant mountains near the water, the clouds are lingering and the trees are lush.
In space, Mr. Li Ming deliberately arranged a broad middle scene and then described the close shot and the middle scene in detail, while the distant view retreated in an orderly way without really going deep. It is not that his landscape paintings are so ordinary and self-reliant; It is not that in this impetuous world, he must be a passenger who refuses to sleep in the last carriage, but because of the true meaning and truth revealed between the lines, the brushwork is like a star, with its own light, especially its homesickness series, which makes people feel sorry and nostalgic, giving people an irreplaceable sense of closeness.
Zong Baihua said: "The landscape poems of Tao Yuanming, Xie Lingyun and others are good because they have a deep and selfless interest in nature when they are newly discovered;" What they wrote casually became wonderful truth, and the environment and gods were really angry. "However, no one's pen and ink is born to be kissed by God. There is no doubt about the hard training and humanistic nourishment during this period. In Mr. Li Ming's works, it can be seen that the painter has made a lot of efforts and explorations in order to preserve the ancient style and resist the current popular painting methods.
The poetic and retro style of Mr. Li Ming's landscape painting lies in his style of returning to nature and the broad-minded feelings of literati. He is no longer limited to the literati's secondary hobby of ink painting, but based on the painting noumenon, taking the painting techniques of shaping objects as the cornerstone, and through the rich texture accumulated by lines, while establishing the existence of material entities, he upgraded the literati Xiaoya to literati feelings. Mr. Li Ming, like the sages before him, will care about how to make the picture have atmosphere and feeling through the clever outline between foreign objects and mountains and rivers, and will also use sensitive strokes and elegant colors to reduce the heavy feeling of the picture.
Pen and ink are the soul of landscape painting, and landscape painting has no strict requirements on modeling. More importantly, it emphasizes the exquisiteness of pen and ink and pursues its interest. However, pen and ink should be based on content, and blindly playing with pen and ink is to cultivate on the land without sowing. The success of creation has a lot to do with the artist's skill cultivation, the proficiency in using the pen, the contrast between dry and wet brush and ink, and the pursuit of abstract meaning in calligraphy. The so-called "if the house leaks, it rains all night", "the pen keeps breaking" and "the autumn wind moistens the spring rain". Pen and ink are all requirements. Of course, the color tone in landscape painting creation is also an important aspect of expressing ideas. The tones of ancient landscape paintings are mainly green and light crimson. In view of the comprehensive understanding of painting, "modern" landscape also needs to penetrate some elements of western painting. Its principle is that color and ink complement each other, seeking elegance, implication, moistening, removing complexity, kitsch and dryness, so as to coordinate the whole situation and better express the artistic conception required when conceiving.
In addition to pen and ink, Mr. Li Ming's landscape paintings also emphasize artistic conception, which is a kind of realm: the mountains and water from his heart are quiet, ethereal, warm and peaceful, which not only breaks away from the oil-colored mountains and waters, but also retains the childlike innocence of pen and ink, and does not deny that the mountains are mountains and the water is water, which is distinct, light but not light, thick and not greasy. What is presented to us as a whole is the quiet mountains and rivers in his heart!
With the development of the times, people's aesthetic taste is also changing. Artists' creation must adapt to the needs of the times and the public, and artists must build a bridge between traditional and modern aesthetic consciousness. Obviously, Mr. Li Ming, like many contemporary artists who are engaged in creation, has made efforts in diversified art in order to create healthy and substantial content. This is the artistic course of our new era. On this road, Mr. Li Ming has achieved fruitful results, but there is still a broad space to display his talents. I believe he will live up to people's high expectations and make greater contributions to artistic creation.
