Jiang's artistic life
The ancients often said that a person's life is like an ink landscape painting, with shades, shades, distances, heights, ups and downs, light and shade, etc. And all kinds of tones and foreshadowing can show the artistic conception of landscape painting through shading and spreading. Jiang's ceramic art career is like an ink landscape painting. Sometimes the front mountain is full of water, and sometimes the front mountain is full of water. His artistic life can be traced back to his childhood.
Shengsheng Ceramic Shi Jia
Ceramic art is the art of "fire and earth". Jingdezhen is a porcelain capital with a history of more than 65,438+000 years. His grandfather came to Jingdezhen in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China to start a business and study ceramic technology. After his marriage, his family continued to live a simple life and became one of the "eight folk kilns" in Jingdezhen. Ceramics are produced and sold to the north and south of the Yangtze River and inside and outside the Great Wall. His father inherited his ancestral business, which made the "Jiang's kiln industry" flourish. Until 1950s, "public-private partnership" merged into Minsheng Porcelain Factory, one of the top ten porcelain factories in Jingdezhen at that time, and became the first generation of ceramic industry workers who praised the new China.
Childhood dream
He was born in such a family full of ceramic culture, listened to the lullaby of "fire and earth", endured the humanistic education of "fire and earth" in the times, and cherished the ceramic art dream of "fire and earth". From the education of the first kindergarten teacher, he painted life. He was smart and smart. He is deeply loved by teachers, and his paintings are often taken out by teachers as models for children to imitate. Art classes in primary and secondary schools are highly appreciated by teachers. Every grade is the Art editor of the class, grade, school blackboard, publicity column and wall newspaper. This "position" of the school has exercised his talent for fine arts painting. After taking part in the work, due to serious, diligent and practical work, plus expertise in painting and calligraphy, I was quickly reused by the leaders and transferred to the propaganda department of the unit. He is responsible for all the writing and painting in the unit. At that time, he was young and energetic. Although the work is hard, he likes it very much. After all, this is his favorite job. With the unique working conditions, he constantly draws artistic accomplishment from books, newspapers and magazines. The 1980s saw the popularity of television and the rise of TV dramas. Good TV dramas from Hong Kong and Taiwan are constantly broadcast, such as Huo Yuanjia, Shanghai Beach and Legend of the Condor Heroes, which attracts people's attention. But in order to pursue his dream and become a "master of ceramic art" in the future, he forced himself not to see it. Instead, I often "turn a deaf ear to things outside the window and read only sage books", forcing myself to learn basic theoretical knowledge until the dead of night.
The way of learning
Jianfeng Bao's efforts paid off. 1985, he was admitted to the university with excellent results. During his college years, he was thirsty for knowledge, absorbed a lot of knowledge like a sponge, swam in the ocean of art, and his professional knowledge advanced by leaps and bounds, laying a solid foundation for future artistic creation. Not only that, he also actively participated in various art practice activities, and won the prize in the college students' art calligraphy competition in six provinces and one city in East China.
He is never satisfied with what he has achieved. He is open-minded, eager to learn, indifferent to fame and fortune, devoted himself to research and learned from others. Learning from the teacher is another magic weapon for him to learn modestly. He was thirsty for knowledge and learned from many teachers, so that he was cultivated and watered by more gardeners than others in painting. Whenever he has time, he asks the lecturers and professors in the university for advice. After graduation, I often ask famous ceramic artists questions about ceramic painting, attend Jingdezhen ceramic art workshops, attend ceramic colleges and vocational colleges, and watch live performances of ceramic artists. Invisible, many professors and famous ceramic artists have become his teachers for a period of time, for one thing and for life. Such as Hu, Qin Xilin, Zhou Guozhen, Xiong Gangru, Zhang Weizeng, Wang, Hu Guangzhen, etc.
The artistic exploration of ginger
He also took nature as his teacher, and went out to sketch every year in order to paint ceramic landscape paintings. He traveled all over the mountains and rivers of China and the five mountains and three rivers of the motherland. As soon as he went to Wutai Mountain, he went to Taishan, Huashan, Jinggangshan, Huangshan, Lushan, Huangguoshu, Three Gorges and Emei Mountain. Rich experience in sketching deeply touched the ingenuity of nature. His landscape painting, which originated from nature and is higher than nature, can't be found in the south and the north. It is another heavy painting scene that combines the scenery of Jiangnan and the north. His paintings are unique. The gurgling clear water stone flows upward, and the Galaxy Waterfall falls from the sky. Because he often goes out to collect wind and sketch, his landscape paintings are very rich in themes. His motherland is famous for its mountains and rivers, which can be described as magnificent. His pastoral scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is beautiful and elegant, fresh and natural, with dense composition, ever-changing scenery, suitable ink color and far-reaching artistic conception. Some people say that his ceramic works "have the majesty of Mount Tai, the preciseness of Mount Hua, the smoke of Mount Heng, the waterfall of Mount Lushan, the strange stone of Yandang Mountain and the beauty of Mount Emei".
Jiang's artistic achievements
In his career of ceramic art creation for more than 30 years, he has never given up his exploration and pursuit of ceramic art. He is eager to learn all kinds of traditional ceramic decorative arts such as ceramic new colors, pastels and blue and white, so that these skills can be carried forward under his own hands. Among many ceramic decoration techniques, he loves freehand brushwork of blue and white landscapes. The so-called blue-and-white porcelain is painted and decorated with natural and cobalt materials on white mud, then coated with transparent glaze, and then fired at a high temperature of 1300℃, so that the pigment can fully penetrate into the blank glaze and present a blue-green pattern. Therefore, ceramic artists are lucky to show their blue and white skills, and they are obsessed with the pursuit of their classics. Jiang believes that blue and white flowers not only have magnificent patterns and varied beauty, but also have the quiet beauty of simple coloring and plain writing. More importantly, because she has the special elegance of rubbing from China ink painting, these elements will be used to describe the wonders of mountains and rivers, moonlight in lotus ponds, flowers and leaves. In this way, through years of practicing blue and white porcelain, he constantly absorbed its artistic essence and explored the artistic conception of beauty in his life. The feeling of life makes him show his passion and understanding of life in ceramic works, and makes his art better show elegant taste and innovative ideas. He knows that the road to art is long, and it can never be accomplished overnight. Therefore, it is boring to endure loneliness and calm down and do the same thing every day. More than 30 years of creative experience tells him that artists should like art first, then be diligent, and most importantly, be savvy, which is inseparable from their own experience, knowledge and cultivation. So, it's Sunday and holidays. For him, there is no such concept, and he is devoted to painting creation. His obsession can be described by a sentence from Mr. Lu Xun, "hide in a small building to be unified and take care of Xia Chunqiu in winter". He actively established his own ceramic art studio, created a piece of fine ceramic art, and turned his beautiful ideal into reality. He climbed to a new high in artistic creation step by step, and the blue and white glazed red "Eagle Spread its Wings". Pastel porcelain painting "Spring Comes Home Early" won the gold medal in "Hester Cup" Art Ceramics Exhibition. Pastel lions are exhibited and collected by Beijing Art Museum.
News media at all levels have reported his artistic works and creative experiences, and his papers and ceramic works have been published in Jingdezhen Ceramics, Ceramic World, Ceramic Research, Ceramic Expo, and Jiangxi Arts and Crafts Grand View.
Jiang's artistic morality
With the passage of time, Jiang's ceramic art works also meandered out one by one with the long river of time. It is with this attitude that he has accumulated many years of painting skills into his own artistic language and distinctive artistic style. Now he is a ceramic arts and crafts artist in Jiangxi Province and a senior arts and crafts artist in China. He is still so modest and low-key. He said that art comes from life and is higher than life. He can express his life experience and sentiment through his works, and pass on the art and culture of ceramic painting to more people. This is an artist with a sense of social responsibility. That year, the government called for "entrepreneurship service" for the unemployed and re-employed. He readily accepted the employment of the Municipal Ceramic Employment and Entrepreneurship Incubation Foundation and became an art teacher in the Re-employment and Entrepreneurship Education and Training Center. He used his spare time to teach ceramic painting knowledge to the unemployed and re-employed people in the city. He taught them his own ceramic painting skills without reservation, from sketching to painting perspective, composition and techniques. The teaching mode of integrating theory with practice and explaining it in simple terms is very popular among students. Through his teaching and training, nearly 100 students have found their own re-employment posts and embarked on their own entrepreneurial road. Not only that, he also actively donated money and materials to the people in the disaster area and participated in the ceramic art charity sale.
He often said: "I am the son of the people of the porcelain capital and the descendant of the older generation of porcelain makers." Although I am nearly sixty years old, my life is endless and my paintings are endless. Only by learning with an open mind, learning from each other's strengths, making constant efforts and never relaxing can we gather sand into a tower. Our generation has caught up with the good times, can sing for ceramic art, is proud of ceramic art, and is dedicated to ceramic art. It really feels very happy. "
Jiang's artistic style
Jiang's paintings are all good at porcelain paintings. He said that he mainly focuses on landscapes, feathers, over-glaze, under-glaze and animals, and his artistic style is his own original meticulous brushwork. His paintings are unique, and the themes of landscape paintings are rich. His motherland is famous for its mountains and rivers, which can be described as magnificent. His rural scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is beautiful and elegant, fresh and natural, with dense composition, ever-changing scenery, suitable ink color and far-reaching artistic conception. It is said that some people commented on his ceramic works as "Mount Tai is majestic, Mount Huashan is steep, Mount Hengshan is shrouded in mist, Lushan Waterfall, Yandang Mountain is strange stone, and Mount Emei is beautiful."
