How long can a person run on the road to pursue his dreams? The 72-year-old calligrapher and painter A Fengyun gave the answer with decades of actions.
On June 16, the release ceremony of Afeng Yun’s calligraphy and painting collection "Ink Dreams" was held at the Geometry Bookstore. Xie Zuo and Ma Jun, well-known figures in the cultural circles of our province, commented on Afeng Yun’s calligraphy and painting art on the spot. Afeng Yun shared his creative experience with readers.
Afengyun was born in a Mongolian farmer family in Ledu, the cultural hometown of Qinghai, where there is a tradition of farming, reading and passing down family traditions. After graduating from a normal school in the 1960s, Afengyun returned to his hometown and worked in various professions, but always insisted on Huihua creation. After retirement, he dabbled in the field of calligraphy. In his words, calligraphy and painting are created alternately, like "making a meal of white flour and then a meal of mixed flour." He said that since he regards calligraphy and painting as a hobby and pursuit, he must be like an alcoholic who is addicted to alcohol, and only by thinking about it can he achieve something. Afeng Yun has persisted in pursuing her dreams for decades, and thus the book "Mo Yu Dreams" is in front of readers.
Over the past few decades, Afeng Yun’s creations have been left from the Hehuang Valley to the Qingnan Highlands. He showed the plateau's snow-capped mountains, lakes, grasslands, singing deer, yaks, camels, and the people living on this land - folk singers, mountain girls, Yushu girls, Tibetan grannies, and old Ledu farmers.
Mr. Ma Jun said that Afengyun has taken root in the land of Qinghai and among the people for decades. Each of Afeng Yun's landscape paintings depicts his state of mind and dreams, and expresses his generous and graceful state. Most of the compositions of his works are banners, which are very suitable for expressing the vast and concise scenery of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. He dabbled in both calligraphy, official script and official script, mainly official script. Calligraphy pursues the beauty of character creation. Afeng Yun, who was born as a painter, consciously injects the beauty of artistic conception into Chinese characters. For example, the character "Rain" he wrote vividly expresses the traces of rain.
"The Mongolian writer Xi Murong wrote a song "Father's Grassland, Mother's River". I hope that the creations of Mongolian calligrapher and painter Afeng Yun will be as broad as his father's grassland and as long as his mother's river. ." Ma Jun said.
