Integrate the past and create the present, weed out the old and bring forth the new
Jiangnan
Qilu Spring City, beautiful mountains and beautiful waters. At the foot of Qianfo Mountain and by the Daming Lake, there are many literati and poets. Liu Weidong, a young calligrapher, painter and seal engraver, is one of them.
I first met Liu Weidong at a gathering with friends who were calligraphers and painters in Quancheng in the early summer of 2008. During the banquet, there were all rough men, with strong waists and strong backs. They drank from large glasses of wine and ate large pieces of meat. There was a heroic and heroic spirit between their brows. After being introduced by a friend, we found out that he was Liu Weidong, a calligrapher, painter and seal engraver who recently won the gold medal in the "2008 Beijing Olympic Journey" calligraphy and painting competition. After that, every time I went to Quancheng, I would get together with him, and we gradually became familiar with him, and we became good friends.
Liu Weidong's heroism is not only reflected in his gestures, but also in his calligraphy, painting and seal cutting.
In the world of calligraphy and painting in contemporary China, there are not many calligraphers who write oracle bone inscriptions, and those who write with style and artistic conception are even rarer. Looking at Liu Weidong's calligraphy, it is simple, majestic, vigorous and fresh. The pen is at your fingertips, and your mind and hands are free. The lines are diverse, soft yet strong, clumsy yet clever; the structure is neat and tidy, as quiet as a lying tripod, and as dynamic as a waterfall. Most of his works are couplets, such as: Looking at the clouds, I am ashamed of the flying birds, and facing the water, I am ashamed of the fish; the wind and moon come and go, and the mountains and rivers have existed since ancient times; the flowers are fragrant in the sun, and the birds are singing, and the mountains are more secluded; the simple oracle bone characters show the charm of the times, It is the characteristic of his calligraphy. Reading his works, you can not only smell the echoes of ancient times, but also see the changes of the times. It is his cleverness and his success to lead readers to come from far away and then go further away.
Liu Weidong is not only good at calligraphy, but also good at painting. His freehand brushwork of flowers and birds is bold and hearty, with elegant colors, both solemn and harmonious. "Ink Bamboo", which won the gold medal at the "2008 Beijing Olympic Journey", is his masterpiece.
On the screen, a clump of green bamboo stands tall and tall, symbolizing the majesty and heroic appearance of the Chinese nation standing tall among the nations of the world and the majesty of the Chinese Olympic Corps galloping through the world sports arena.
Keeping pace with calligraphy and painting is his seal cutting. The meaning of printing is the final look at the knife. This is the common sense of all Indian people, and Liu Weidong is no exception.
The outstanding eight masters of Xiling used the aesthetic thought of "combining virility in gracefulness, and strength in gracefulness" to fully develop the art of seal cutting, forming a dense and smooth style with a balance between hardness and softness, and a rich and vigorous style. Broad, simple and elegant, careful and cautious, quiet and majestic. Obviously, the painstaking efforts of our predecessors in this small area have minimized the development space left for future generations. How to break through the barriers of his predecessors was a serious issue for him. It is not his personality to follow the footsteps of those who came before him. Bold innovation is his style.
He was inspired by the saying in "The Art of War by Sun Tzu" that "soldiers have no fixed position, and water has no constant shape". He believed that "the sword has no fixed method, and the method that does not attack others is my method." He combined the figures in Chinese paintings The theory of "points, lines and surfaces" is applied to seal cutting, and bold attempts and explorations are made in the opening and closing layout, pursuing the structure of up, down, left, and right, taking advantage of the situation, being stable but risky, clumsy but surprising; being broad while avoiding omissions, and being tight. And avoid stuffiness, be attentive without being pretentious, and deliberately leave no trace. As a result, his work's knife skills are varied, the lines are strong, crisp and colorful, and the force is continuous. The direction of the blade is full of emotions.
He takes "integrating the past to create the present, innovating with the old and bringing forth the new, not falling into the trap of the past, not clinging to barriers" as his aphorism for his artistic creation. He is well aware that "the appearance of a flower can make it famous for a while, but the quality hidden in it can be appreciated throughout the ages." Learn from the tradition but not be limited by it; learn from the predecessors but not be limited by the predecessors. In order to expand his horizons, he dived into the traditional long river to pan for gold and jade, analyzing the details and exploring the secrets. In addition to carefully studying the ancient Chinese style of Shanghai style masters, we also carefully studied the Wei and Jin Dynasties style of Master Baishi, collecting and accumulating extensive knowledge, integrating Zhao Zhiqian's broad and rigorous, Wu Changshuo's simplicity and lofty ideals, and Qi Baishi's majestic grandeur. Under his own sword.
Ten years of sharpening a sword. After being tempered by hundreds of pounds of ink, thousands of pounds of cartons, and thousands of square stone seals, Liu Weidong finally emerged as a butterfly, releasing the brilliance of art with his style of blending the past to create the present and incorporating the past to create a new one.
In recent years, Liu Weidong's works have been selected into various competitions and exhibitions, and have won many awards. They are deeply loved by readers at home and abroad, and have been collected by collectors at home and abroad.
Liu Weidong is in his forties. With his talent and diligence, I believe he will bring us greater surprises with more masterpieces.
