Qianjianzhong painting and calligraphy impression

Text/Mina

When he was young, Qian Jianzhong studied fine arts with a solid foundation and considerable talent. It should be said that during his study in the Fine Arts Department of Nanjing Normal University, he had an indissoluble bond with the art of calligraphy and painting. After working in Suzhou, he was in the right place at the right time. Here, he met many tutors and friends in painting and calligraphy. He studied under Fei Xinwo, Sha Manweng and Wei Tianchi, and Lv Sibai, Yang Jianhou and Huang Shunyao. After work, he became more and more interested in painting. Coupled with his practical wisdom and diligence, after years of hard work, his landscape painting has reached a level that surprised many professional painters. Qian Jianzhong's achievements in landscape painting also benefited from his orthodox learning experience and long-term accumulation after working in the Fine Arts Department when he was young. His elegant and sincere artistic taste in landscape painting makes his landscape paintings have a healthy, open, bright and fragrant artistic temperament. After busy work, he never puts down his writing brush. After decades of hard work, hard work and unremitting efforts, we can achieve artistic achievements worthy of the beautiful scenery near the water. Qian Jianzhong's landscape painting creation is deeply influenced by "Wu Pai" painting style, especially Shen Zhou. Mr Jianzhong's landscape paintings are very similar to those of middle-aged Shen Zhou. They are rigorous and calm with their pens. After the age of 70, Mr. Jianzhong's landscape paintings show a casual, free and easy, heavy artistic style, revealing a concise interest, clear pen and ink, sincere and touching air. The pure energy that can express the poetic scene of mountains and rivers without deliberate modification is really very rare and valuable.

After reading Qian Jianzhong's paintings, I deeply felt his solid calligraphy and painting skills, natural and unrestrained atmosphere, and full of new ideas. His painting, writing or painting is good at landscape figures, focusing on dyeing small with big pictures, focusing on expressing the beauty of nature and figures, and containing bookish atmosphere. The Color Map of Huguang Mountain created on 20 17 shows that the clouds and mist in the summer mountain are broken, the pines and cypresses are lush, the peaks are overlapping, the pine shore is lush, the water and the sky are the same, the trees on the shore are lush, the rocks are rugged, the mountains in the distance are majestic, and the sailboats are scattered all over Taihu Lake ... Mr. Jianzhong is a typical Suzhou native, sincere, modest and elegant, and has a wide range of friends. One day in the early autumn of 2000, Weng, Huang Zhong, Zhang and Wei Benxiong went to see Jianzhong together, and Jianzhong got up with a brush and some pens. Weng, 9 1 year-old, seemed to be all set and jumped onto the page. Mr. Zhang happily wrote an inscription: "I admire that you can sketch to this state." . Jianzhong drew another ink painting of the teacher, sketched a few strokes, and the bust of Mr. Zhang was finished. Mr. Waon wrote an inscription: "Moment is like a god", leaving a much-told story. Mr. Jianzhong's studio is adjacent to Mr. Zhang Zhong, the daughter of the famous flower and bird painter Zhang Xinjia and a famous painter. His pen is almost the same as Zhang Xinjia's. Mr. Zhong Zhang watches every painting and learns a lot, so he naturally knows the beauty of everyone's pen. I have lived like this for more than ten years.

Engaged in administrative work for many years, Mr. Jianzhong has a heavy workload, but no matter how busy he is, he will definitely use his spare time, especially in the evening or holidays, to show his papers, and sometimes he will be in a good mood, even staying up all night and forgetting to eat or sleep. It is precisely because of his talent and diligence, coupled with his persistent love for painting art, that Mr. Jianzhong can maintain high-spirited passion and exuberant vitality in his painting and calligraphy creation.

Jianzhong is good at painting and calligraphy. He loves reading and has studied for many years. The literary spirit between pen and ink makes his works unique. Its official script is rich and full of backbone, and maintains momentum and plain structure. The bottom of the word is slightly wider than the head, with a little architectural beauty, highlighting the volume and weight, graceful and cordial. In his works, Xu is not in a hurry, but naturally reveals himself and is full of quiet and elegant breath. "Actually, I don't know what to do." Not long ago, the author went to Suzhou Guangxin Tiandi, the first modern garden-style department store in China. Commercial buildings, outdoor landscapes and space design all incorporate the concept of China gardens. The designer's idea is very clever. In a corner of this modern building, there is a classic yellow design of Hermè s, and another one is Qian Jianzhong's calligraphy "Peach Blossom Garden". The style is exquisite and smart, and the innovative gray ink perfectly blends the classical with the modern.

Mr. Jianzhong is a dreamer. How heavy the sky is, how vast the earth is, how dark the night is, how small and lonely people are. The mountains and rivers are lonely and the ears are silent. What Mr. Jianzhong is looking for is the classical and modern, and the solemn dream of inner balance. His landscape paintings are full of stillness, and have the artistic conception of Zhuangzi interacting with heaven and earth alone. Professor Ruan Rongchun, a famous art critic in China, spoke highly of Jianzhong's paintings and calligraphy. "Guan Jianzhong's paintings are vigorous and sophisticated, thanks to the eight methods; The book in Guan Jian is full of spirit, which is based on six methods. Calligraphy and painting blend and complement each other. " Zhang, a painter from Wumen, commented: "Those who are good at painting and calligraphy can use both pen and ink, because painting and calligraphy are of the same origin. Painting with calligraphy and painting has other interests. Guan Jianzhong's works are natural and natural, and there is no harm in affectation, that is, they are better than calligraphy and painting. " In 2007, Qian Jianzhong's calligraphy works won the Alliance Award of the 9th International Calligraphy and Taoism Alliance Exhibition. In 20 15, as the only Chinese painting in Suzhou, "Tibetan Figure Painting" painted by Qian Jianzhong appeared in China Pavilion of Milan World Expo.
