Ding Bai (formerly known as Li Zhiyuan), 1968 was born in taocheng town, Yanling County, eastern Henan Province on August 8. When I was a child, I studied under Mr. Zhang, and at the age of 18, I went to Beijing to learn from Mr. Bai Xu (Mr. Gao Zu, a master of Qi School of Chinese Painting) and became one of the inheritors of Qi Baishi School of Painting.
Since I studied under Mr. Xu, I have been diligent, striving for perfection, exploring the painting methods of Qi School, understanding the spirit of Qi School, and paying more attention to meticulous painting, sketching and freehand brushwork. However, he has always been the most diligent in painting "shrimp" and has many huge systems. He has always advocated that "the innovation of shrimp painting should be rooted in the highest point of national tradition, that is, the realm." Painting shrimp is heavy, painting shrimp is like painting people, painting a beautiful heart and a happy mood. " Ding Bai painted shrimps to learn from the past and embody the spirit of the times. Although it was the first attempt, its understanding and practice showed special brilliance.
Ding Bai's works contain the flavor of the times, which is really "unintentional, full of pride;" The pen moves with the emotion, drawing far away, giving people philosophical interest. "Especially the shrimps in Ding Bai make them transparent, stretched, natural and unrestrained and full of interest. Old people who borrow Baishi often say, "If there are scales, they are dragons. "Shrimp is also a dragon, and shrimp is a metaphor for dragons. At the same time, Ding Bai's works are fresh in conception and keep up with the times. Among them, Ding Bai's "Huluteng" works highlight the style of staying in the nest of predecessors, trying to break through the old norms, daring to innovate, and "keeping pace with the times with pen and ink".
Qi Baishi's shrimp painting can be said to be a must in the painting world, which is vivid, vivid and full of charm. He used light ink to draw a body with infiltration color, and the shrimp body was crystal clear. Take the vertical point of rough ink as the eye, write horizontally as the brain, drop ink into gold, and use a pen to convey the spirit. The meticulous brushwork on the beard, claw and big claw combines rigidity with softness, concise and vivid, which shows the painter's superb calligraphy skills. The painter writes shrimp from life, but it goes beyond life, boldly generalizes and simplifies it, and is more vivid.
Qi Baishi lived by a pond since childhood and often fished for shrimps. Began to draw shrimp when I was a child; After the age of 40, I copied shrimps painted by painters such as Xu Wei and Li Futang in Ming and Qing Dynasties. At the age of 63, the shrimps painted by Qi Baishi were very similar, but not "alive" enough, so he raised several long-armed shrimps in a bowl and put them on the painting case. The method of drawing shrimp has also changed, and shrimp has become one of the representative artistic symbols of Qi Baishi. Qi Baishi's shrimp paintings show the shape of shrimp, which is lively, sensitive, alert and vital. Because Qi Baishi mastered the characteristics of shrimp, he painted with ease. A few strokes, combined with a light pen and ink, show a sense of movement. A pair of heavy ink eyes, a little Jiao Mo in the middle of the head, and two light inks on the left and right, which makes the shrimp head varied. Hard shell is transparent, from deep to shallow. And shrimp loin, one section at a time, several strokes in a row, forming the rhythm of shrimp loin from thick to thin.
The change of Qi Baishi's pen makes the shrimp waist present various abnormal States, some bow forward and some swim straight. There are also people who bend over and crawl. The shrimp tail is also a few strokes, which is both elastic and transparent. A pair of front paws of shrimp, from thin to thick, from several joints to two paws, are like pliers, one opening and one closing. Shrimp tentacles are drawn with several light ink lines.
