On the Creation of Interest
Anliu
The calligraphy work Taste was accidentally written by Bingzi in early summer. As far as the overall artistic conception of this work is concerned, I gave her the idea that "the spring in Jiangnan is not over yet, I hope you can return home with a full load"!
In a year, the work "Taste" was published by more than 20 newspapers and periodicals all over the country, which shows that she is deeply loved. During this period, I have written a short "creative review" of more than 100 words, and some friends have enjoyed the works of interest. But I think taste has a unique creative process, which is one of the most distinctive works in my hard-pen calligraphy career. She gave me a special feeling of instant pleasure and passion, so today I will review her feelings again, record her interest and repay her with you. I hope that "taste" will enter your beautiful art paradise with its inner sincere connotation. ...
First, the creation of "taste" is not deliberate, but intentional as a whole.
The calligraphy work of Taste was written on 16 inch drawing paper with a homemade bamboo pen dipped in ink. Her creation is not entirely intentional, but is formed by the gradual flow of strokes with consciousness. At the beginning of my creation, I just wrote the word "love" with the brushwork of seal script, trying to have the vitality and new ideas of towering trees and flourishing leaves, just trying to express a fresh and comfortable interest. I dipped in ink and put pen to paper to write down the main pen "vertical" of the word "love" This vertical pen suddenly became interesting, just like a lady with hair, standing on the shore, looking out and waiting. This natural and concise vertical pen, this hasty moment, and this vivid and implicit female modality all make me feel happy and increase my confidence in the success of the work Taste. I am proud of writing, but I forgot both. I finished writing the vertical centers with different pens. The two vertical centers on the right seem to be parrots on branches. I immediately dipped in ink and wrote a simple, smooth and exaggerated long cross, and then raised the second and third cross to make the cross more delicate, with mottled edges and astringency and strength. But the starting and ending points of these three horizontal lines are not the same, which also shows that there is an abrupt horizontal bank in the distance, and the river is full of water waves. When I wrote these three horizontal lines, I changed the traditional stroke order, that is, I wrote three horizontal lines in succession. In this way, the horizontal momentum was extended and connected with the left vertical center, and then I wrote a vertical line, which was located on the left side of the center of the three horizontal lines. This arrangement can make the word "love" compact as a whole and not fragmented. This short vertical, like a huge reef standing in the river, there is a kingfisher resting on the top of the reef and looking back. At this point, the word "love" is only two-thirds, which is interesting. Then, I used two opposite vertical pens to deal with the word "moon" which means official script, so that the lower half of the two vertical pens opened, thus supporting the weight of the word "love" on the upper right. In this way, the word "love" is easy to write. Then, the work of "taste" is only half finished. The word "love" is generally inverted trapezoid, with the left side straight and the right side inclined. When you see the paper at that time, there is too little space left on the right. If you follow your usual writing habits, of course there is not enough paper. If the word "fun" is written hard, this calligraphy will become waste. This embarrassing situation in calligraphy creation is also a realistic topic before us. Only by taking flexible remedial measures can the work maintain its existing style. In this way, I boldly used the random interpolation method to treat the word "go" next to the word "interest" at a low level and insert it at the lower right edge of the word "love". The word "walk" in the book is like a sailor with a bamboo hat shaking his oars and his lower body is like a boat. The established image and harmonious beauty make me relaxed and happy, and I write as I please. At this time, my writing reached a climax, which formed my creative mentality of being interested in writing first. I think, since the word "go" next to the word "le" means rocking the boat, it should be a boat full of harvest. That is, I used thick ink to write the word "ear" in the running script on the left, and made it stand upright, showing the shape of a bumper harvest of mountains and rivers (in addition, it also means sail). Then write the word "you" in grass, so that the ink color of "skimming" is thick to enrich the blank space, and "holding" is elegant and smart. This painting is also the last stroke of the work "Wei". This stroke, like a lively and lovely dolphin, jumped out of the water with its head held high. In this way, the word "fun" written in the book is like Lang Jun's full harvest and full return!
Secondly, the originality of "taste" is just the opposite of the meaning of the song poem "Jiangnan Spring", but it coincides with the beautiful artistic conception expected by the poet.
As the originality of this work, "Jiang Nan Chun is not finished, I wish you a full load" is based on the artistic conception she expressed after the writing of "Taste", which is exactly the opposite of the monotonous poem "Jiang Nan Chun" written by Kou Zhun in the Northern Song Dynasty. That is, "The waves are fuzzy, Liu Yiyi. The grass in the lonely village is far away, and the apricot flowers fly in the setting sun. Jiang Nanchun was heartbroken, and Pingman Tingzhou people did not return. " Here I briefly explain the general meaning of this word: the water waves extend far and far, and the weeping willows on the shore dance in the spring breeze with deep affection. A beautiful small village, surrounded by lush grass sprouting into the distance, sunset, red apricot flowers flying fragrance. The charming fragrant spring scenery and beautiful scenery in Jiangnan have passed, but distant relatives can't enjoy and share them together. Time and again, people on the shore eagerly look forward to the return of their loved ones. They are sincere and heartfelt. From spring to summer, even the water plants in Tingzhou are full, and the missing relatives have not come back. I like the poet's monotonous poems, which are concise, graceful and meaningful The "taste" of this work just goes against the artistic conception of the word "Jiangnan Spring", so I gave her the idea of "Jiangnan Spring is unfinished, I wish you a full return". I think, isn't this kind of idea the beautiful artistic conception that poets should describe and expect?
To sum up, the interesting bamboo brush calligraphy is a one-time creation. Her images are repetitive and poetic, and the overall artistic conception expressed is related to Song Ci, which makes her unique. In this work, I draw lessons from the calligraphy style of Zhuanli cursive script, comprehensively use pens, pay attention to the mutual care and compromise between paintings, try my best to reflect the ingenious transition and combination of positive strokes, and pursue artistic effects full of change, overall coordination and beautiful artistic conception.
I sincerely hope that "taste" can add a touch of new green to your beautiful art garden.
