On this day, I received a picture album from China, Beijing. Looking through the exquisite "Little Picture Album", one by one, Chinese brush paintings full of the painter's deep feelings are full of interest, just like a breeze, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.
Xiao, male, 1960, from Chenzhou, Hunan. China contemporary painter, member of Beijing Artists Association, executive director of Beijing Fengtai Artists Association, and senior painter of Zhongyuan Painting and Calligraphy Research Institute. 1980s, we started with various publicity activities such as blackboard newspapers and billboards at the grass-roots level of the army, and even organized weddings for comrades-in-arms, and arranged new houses to cut and paste the word "hi"; In his spare time, he immersed himself in the study of calligraphy and painting, insisted on writing, and was praised as a "warrior painter" by his comrades. After graduating from the military academy, the military leaders transferred him from the army to Beijing to participate in the art design work of large-scale exhibitions of the whole army, which gave him more opportunities to devote himself to artistic practice. For more than ten years, no matter what changes have taken place in his work and environment, he has never put down his brush and pursued it hard. The painter studied various painting forms in his early years, such as oil painting, sketch, gouache and so on. , and to a certain extent, studied Chinese and western art theory and historical theory. The efforts inside and outside these paintings have laid a good foundation for painters to engage in high-grade Chinese painting creation. In 2002, he entered the graduate class of Beijing Academy of Painting to study Chinese painting, and studied under famous artists such as Zhao Zhitian, Wang Wenfang and Wang Peidong, which made him enter a brand-new creative realm. Good at freehand landscape painting, flower-and-bird painting, and occasionally engaged in figure painting. His Chinese paintings have reached a good artistic conception.
The creation of Chinese painting is an expression of profound cultural and artistic accumulation of "self-contained realm", which not only plays the role of the painter's own cultural and artistic accomplishment, but also enjoys the artistic conception of painting and calligraphy, and how the painter can integrate his profound poetry into the expression of pen and ink in the face of the familiar towering mountains. The painter's small calligraphy is vigorous and powerful, and his writing style is changeable. The figure painting in the pen combines the pen and ink expression of traditional Chinese painting and the sketch of western painting, and it is fresh and elegant with the pen baptism; Flower and bird paintings are beautiful and colorful, and Mo Yun is fragrant; Many landscape paintings express the poetic meaning of the painter's leisurely and vigorous thoughts.
Shan Lan is still Shan Lan. The painter has established an elegant rhyme with poetry and painting, and devoted himself to infinite affection, showing the elegance of "Spring clouds still protect the green hills". Overlooking the "Castle Peak", among the nearby ravines, the springs are bright, the mountains surrounded by green vegetation soar into the clouds, the fog lingers on the mountainside, waterfalls meander down the ravines, and the distant mountains are newly dyed. Looking through the countless landscape paintings written by painters, we can see the clear spring with dragons flowing with white clouds, the boundless spring scenery in the mountains, the profundity of autumn mountains and clouds, and the fun of watching mountains with high clouds. "Purple gas comes from the east", and the layers of forest are soaked, and the eyes are everywhere. Qingshan is full of smoke and clouds, and from a distance, white clouds are leisurely; Ears are birdsong in the mountains, feet are tinkling springs, and people in the mountains among green trees are like fairyland in a paradise, expressing a hymn full of lofty sentiments for the great mountains and rivers of the motherland.
Waterfall is one of the representative works of this painter. Below the picture is a quiet lake with countless mountain springs running down. The corner of Shan Lan slightly exposed on the left not only cuts the picture into a changeable ravine, but also extends the interest beyond the picture. Several densely growing trees are interspersed in an orderly way, with swaying leaves and a cool breeze blowing gently. The painter used the trees composed of ink dots and line drawings, as well as the rubbing rocks next to them, extending upwards, and countless trees were densely covered with cliffs until they reached the towering peaks in the sky. It is also reasonable to be selected for the "Exhibition of Oriental Painters' Works" and win the silver award.
Since 1985, artists have participated in many national, provincial and military painting and calligraphy exhibitions, among which the Chinese painting "You are beyond the Great Wall" was selected for the national painting and calligraphy exhibition to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China and won the Excellence Award. "Silent Jungle" was selected in the national "Golden Goose Award" painting and calligraphy competition and won the third prize; Selected for the first National Bamboo Culture Painting and Calligraphy Exhibition, Meiju participated in the China Blue Sky Painting and Calligraphy Exhibition, and Hsinchu was selected for the Heilongjiang Painting and Calligraphy Exhibition, ready to be selected for the painting and calligraphy exhibition celebrating the 55th anniversary of the founding of the Air Force. 1985 held a solo exhibition in Xuzhou. The painter's works and achievements have been featured in the Poetry Book, People's Political Consultative Conference Daily, Calligraphy and Painting Industry Daily, Air Force Daily and other newspapers, and his works and biographies have been included in the National Classification Collection of Young Artists' Works, the National Collection of Contemporary Paintings and Calligraphy Masters, and the 2009 Painting and Calligraphy Atlas Air Force Painting and Calligraphy Talent Pool.
Looking at these works written by the painter, I feel that he is not satisfied with his achievements while he is engaged in Chinese painting creation from a high starting point. This is what makes people feel gratified and expect more. -Appreciation of Xiao's Premier of the Republic of China (Wen/Yang Libin, a famous art critic) Xiao China is a contemporary painter and a member of Beijing Artists Association. Zhou Enlai, the Prime Minister of the Republic of China, is one of the representative works of China figure painting created by the painter in recent years. The painter has completed the portrait creation of all the people who have served as prime ministers since the founding of New China, showing a painter's sincere love for the motherland and strong sense of social responsibility and conscience.
Zhou Enlai, Premier of the Republic of China, made full use of the humorous pen and ink technique of Chinese painting, and combined the light and shadow effect of western painting with pen and ink expression, forming a combination of fine and rough. The ethereal and shallow virtual pen, coupled with the majestic atmosphere of pen and ink, well describes the vivid expression of Premier Zhou's tireless efforts for the country and the people. I saw Premier Zhou paying attention to the eyes and showing a fatherly affinity. On the left, in the thick ink color change, clusters of pure and noble ink bamboo are surrounded by the Prime Minister, and the faint ink bamboo in the distance echoes this, showing Premier Zhou's noble character and sentiment. Inscriptions and inscriptions on the upper right not only deepen the artistic conception of the picture, but also become an important aesthetic composition of the whole picture. The creation of Chinese painting pays attention to emptiness and the infinite charm of imagination. At this time, on the fresh and elegant picture, silence is better than sound, and an invisible monument emerges from the paper, which well shapes the glorious image of the people loving Premier Zhou.
The most unique feature of this painter's portrait works is vividness, which is also an important reason why he attracted the attention of the painting world and became a powerful portrait painter in contemporary times. Works can be painted vividly, which is the result of the painter's emotion. Because of the painter's in-depth observation and experience of life, his paintings have been liberated from passive description. He not only paints with his eyes and hands, but also paints with his heart and feelings, and expresses it passionately according to his own feelings. In his works, he is good at accurately and sensitively capturing the instant charm and vivid life modality of the characters, and drawing various characters through the perfect and harmonious expression of the vivid life modality of the characters by the painter.
