Since the history of China art, many classic paintings of landscape painters have conveyed Zen through pen and ink, artistic conception and verve.
The Zen of China culture is a spiritual bearing of detached peace, simple music, tranquility and serenity.
The poem "My road twists and turns, through a sheltered valley, through branches and flowers, to a Buddhist retreat" often written by poets in the Tang Dynasty is very Zen.
The winding path leads to the deepest monk's house in the forest, which is empty and clear. The poet forgot the secular world, and in the silence of the sky, quietly listened to the bell of the temple echoing in the quiet artistic conception.
Zen is an ethereal, quiet and far-reaching cultural artistic conception of Buddhism in China, but Weng Kaixuan, an oil painter, broke through the limitations of objective realism by using western oil painting materials and created Zen culture in China.
The colors of Weng Kaixuan's oil paintings and Chinese paintings are simple, simple and elegant.
His paintings are quite Zen, and the natural scenes are strange. Under the painter's brush, they melt into the elegant color of Chinese painting, abstract visual language and artistic conception of point, line and surface. The picture contains peace and simplicity, which breaks through the tranquility of the world.
It created the charm of Zen in China, and created a kind of artistic conception of Zen returning to the original and the original.
My road twists and turns, through a sheltered valley, branches and flowers, to a Buddhist retreat, through layers of winding roads, to the deepest meditation room, which is the purest and purest soul. Forget the worldly glitz, forget the worldly troubles, stay away from the noise, and experience the detached feelings of seeing the mountains and water. Weng Kaixuan's Zen oil paintings just illustrate the realm of Zen.
Whose paintings are the most Zen today? Affirmative answer: none of the painter's works is true Zen! Now people have a misunderstanding: when it comes to Zen works, they think that painting a monk, a temple and some Buddhist paintings is called Zen. And such works, or works of art, can only be called Buddhist works at most. What is true Zen? Many people don't understand! So there are three kinds of blindness in society: illiteracy, beauty blindness and Buddha blindness. Wenyu has been basically eliminated now. But there are more beauty blindness and Buddha blindness now. The so-called beauty blindness: many people think that they are called calligraphers if they can write two strokes, and artists if they can draw two strokes. What are the advantages of real calligraphy and painting? Many people can't tell why. In addition, Buddhism is blind: many people think that Buddhism is to burn incense and worship Buddha, do things, set people free and make people kind. Don't you know that true Buddhism is the highest education, a kind of philosophy in philosophy, which makes people know themselves, how the world came from, and what is going on in the world!
What is true Zen? A gust of wind, a drop of rain, a flower, a grain of sand, who are you? Who am I? Who is he? Where do we come from? Where are we going? ……
