Appreciation of Mr. Chen's Landscape Painting Art
Ma Qingzhou
In terms of landscape painting art, Suzhou, as a strong city of calligraphy and painting, has a large appreciation space compared with similar art in the whole country and the whole province.
Among many landscape painting artists, there are many artists who represent Suzhou landscape painting art, such as Ma Chaoqun, Li Yijun, Zhang Ming, Gu Tao, Wu Bai, Wu Changhai and so on. They are all leading figures in Suzhou landscape painting art.
Among these leading figures, Chen's works have an extraordinary artistic status. Chen is low-key, inarticulate and never publicizes himself. He just quietly explored and discovered in the ocean of art, and showed the beauty of nature to people in the form of art.
The greatest artistic feature of Chen's landscape painting depicts the vastness and grandeur of the landscape with the simple beauty of the southern painting school.
Chen believes that art is a reflection of life, subjectively reflecting the painter's intention and objectively expressing the god of images. This is China's vivid freehand brushwork theory, such as Gu Kaizhi's vivid theory, Sheikh's vivid theory of Nanqi, Zhang Yanyuan's theory of "Mr. Bi in a village, full of paintings" and so on. The ancients said that "things are attached to feelings" to express scenery, flowers and birds. This is not a simple representation, but it is important to describe people's feelings.
Landscape painting focuses on painting "potential". Chen said: "Landscape painting should show majestic mountains, elegant and soft sea of clouds, and biscuits lingering in spring water. Coupled with the vigorous pines and cypresses, it is necessary to have birds, people, temples, bridges, boats and other things to set off, so that the landscape painting can be rich in content and the connotation can be integrated into the painter's emotion, which can infect the audience through the artistic form of landscape painting, so that the audience can accept it and feel happy.
In the composition arrangement of landscape painting, Chen demands "creating landscapes" and advocates "the mind is dominant and the form is subordinate", that is, the harmony between man and nature, the integration of things and me, the forgetting of things and the use of things for me. You can use paper with a ruler to represent the rivers in Wan Li, you can also draw the mountains and rivers in Wan Ren, you can draw a panoramic view, you can also draw a small corner scene, you can draw a whole tree, you can also draw branches, you can choose at will, and you are extremely free. Landscape painting pays attention to "counting white as black", artistic space and "painting everywhere"
It is not only the artistic accomplishment of a painter, but also the mind that an artist should have! Chen Yu said.
Mr. Chen used to be an art teacher in Suzhou No.11 Middle School. After decades of art teaching, he has accumulated rich knowledge of art theory. He pursues preciseness and delicacy in art, innovates from ancient laws and learns from the ancients through innovation.
In addition to his high attainments in landscape art, Mr. Chen is also a member of Anhui Calligraphers Association and an Anhui seal cutting artist. These achievements made him a famous "Triple Crown" artist in Suzhou.
The creation of landscape painting is an extremely hard work, especially Chen's landscape painting, which basically belongs to the category of small freehand brushwork. It may only take a few minutes for others to paint freehand brushwork or splash ink landscape paintings, but none of Chen's landscape paintings can be painted badly in a day or two.
Mr. Chen, who is over 70 years old, has to stand for seven or eight hours every day, which is very difficult for young people, but Chen insists on it every day!
Don't you think painting is difficult for him? Chen smiled faintly and said, "Art is the process of creating beauty. A painter must please himself before he can please others! "
Yes, although Mr. Chen said that he worked hard in the process of creating landscape paintings, he didn't ask much money to measure the artistic value of his works! Social value is often Chen's pursuit! Chen's works are full of his interpretation of nature and his love for the mountains and rivers of the motherland, which makes his works full of artistic expansion.
Many collectors and celebrities are proud of collecting Chen's works, which also makes Chen's works enter the province and abroad, and many of them flow to Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan and foreign friends!
Art should serve the society, and artists should serve the public. This is the highest value of an artist!
Chen not only said so, but also practiced his artistic conception:
The Suzhou Municipal People's Government chose Mr. Chen's landscape paintings to decorate the Suzhou ship of the East China Sea Fleet with works representing Suzhou art. Chen was ordered to write a composition, and he worked overtime to finish the task regardless of rest. The leaders of the city and the leaders of the city artists association enjoyed it very much after reading it. Chairman Chen Guanglin also wrote an inscription for it.
Help the poor and the disabled, support the army and agriculture, schools and factories ... Mr. Chen has successively dedicated his works and assumed the responsibility of being a patriotic and loving artist with his artistic strength!
This is not just art. ...
