Zhao Zidan graduated from the Chinese Painting Department of the Academy of Fine Arts of Shanxi University in his early years. He studied under Zhao Qiu, Shi Bingyou and other famous artists, got a glimpse of his doorway and entered his room. Today, Zhao Zidan is full of energy, and the rules are idle in his mind. When painting, he camped in the hills and valleys, which means writing first, elegant and flying freely. His "Mountain Quiet" is a painting, sweeping down, thousands of rocks and valleys, such as shocking clouds and lightning, like a hero dancing and falling. From a distance, the pen is magnificent and has the trend of truncation; Looking at the mountains and cliffs at close range makes people look quickly.
The painting method says: "Man-made things cover you, you are in the dust; if you make them for man-made things, you will be tired of dust, painting will be self-destructive, and covering the dust with pen and ink is self-cultivation." Zidan knows the truth that "nature is made by foreign teachers, and the source of internal law is the source". Although he is a teacher, he is not complacent; Although I know that pen and ink are bitter and sweet, I don't stick to formulas. It can be said that in painting, he pursues people rather than just painting. Over the years, he has traveled on foot several times, from Dunhuang in the west to Xishuangbanna in the south. He painstakingly pursued himself and formed a changeable style. Or as far as the horizon is concerned, the scenery is extremely dense, but it emerges from the ethereal everywhere. At first glance, it is impenetrable, but when you look closely, it is ethereal, making people feel that the weather is rich and the artistic conception is far away. Or sparse forest, shallow water, distant mountains, the scenery is Xiao Su, but the brushwork is calm everywhere, although it is false and true. Sometimes it's vast, sometimes it's Jiangnan.
Zidan's calligraphy has a unique style all over the world. Seek its brushwork in rough brine, see its work in subtlety, have its talents in eccentricity, and show its arts and sciences in madness. Sometimes Fang Bi as folded, broken and restored, serious and magnificent. Sometimes the round pen turns, but it keeps changing, thick and muddy.
After the exhibition, Zhao Zidan will return to the Taihang Painting Academy and continue his efforts and career by the Python River. Thank him for bringing the feeling of spring to the winter in the provincial capital, and we also send our blessing: "A gentleman strives for self-improvement." And the characters in the novel, right?
