For a long time, human knowledge can be divided into "explicit knowledge" and "tacit knowledge". Explicit knowledge is knowledge that can be clearly described and expressed in words or formulas, while tacit knowledge is knowledge that can be grasped in the sense but cannot be clearly described and expressed. This framework can also be used to interpret works of art or images. Fu Wenjun's Painting Characters belongs to the latter, and his works creatively apply China traditional brush and ink to his mature schema, which greatly broadens the field of vision of brush and ink at present. With passion and heavy pen and ink language, the impact is extremely strong, which naturally moistens the hearts of the judges of the "2020 Contemporary Ink World Tour Exhibition" and won the gold medal.
I dare not analyze Wen Jun's works. I know that analysis is an egg hitting a stone, and infinite is solved by finite. I can only approach him by instinct. At the moment of practicing "creative transformation and innovative development", Fu Wenjun's series of paintings are extremely rare. He firmly grasped the great tradition of pen and ink, and used strong feelings and abstract methods to arouse the hidden and existing feelings of everyone's consciousness or subconscious.
Fu Wenjun's works give people a strange feeling of deja vu. What is the most important in the face of innovation? Facing the tradition, how to deepen it? Enhance the ability to feel the importance problem, dig deep into the tradition, unify the depth of the point and the integrity of the surface with the promotion of the importance problem as the standard and the self-realized importance as the scale. How can the work have the shadow of the traditional kernel and its own shadow? Fu Wenjun of Wushan's Hua Fu has given a clear answer.
Draw words? Fu Wenjun's solo exhibition and the dialogue on "the transformation of traditional brushwork in the contemporary era" 10 opened in Han Art museum on123.
202110/at 3pm on October 23rd, Fu Wenjun's "Painting Chinese Characters" art exhibition and "Transformation of Traditional Calligraphy in Contemporary Times" were held in Han Art Museum, Beijing 798 Art Zone. Exhibition * * * shows more than 20 works by Fu Wenjun, all of which are the latest artistic practice and creative thinking.
Although this is Fu Wenjun's first solo exhibition, he has been preparing for this exhibition for five years, and this exhibition can also be regarded as a relatively complete and concentrated artistic presentation in his artistic journey. This exhibition does not simply return to the tradition or summarize the tradition, but shows Fu Wenjun's artistic creation value orientation and aesthetic direction through some creative techniques with abstract concepts and even stream of consciousness.
Just like Fu Wenjun, he was born in Wushan, Gansu in the early 1990s and graduated from Beijing Painting Academy. 20 16 put forward "the writing theory of calligraphy from single stroke to multiple strokes", and 20 19 founded the art form of "painting characters", and won the gold medal in the roving exhibition of contemporary ink and wash world in 2020.
At the exhibition site, due to the abstract and obvious "Fu style" of the exhibition works, many viewers questioned the works and shouted that such works could not be understood. ...
Fu Wenjun's works displayed in the exhibition really reflect his extension in different fields and his writing cases, but he has his own set of theoretical support and thinks that the artistic creation he pursues has positive social significance; He creatively described the unrepeatable radical structure in China's traditional calligraphy brushwork, and used the knife method of cliff seal cutting to show it in his works in the form of graffiti. Make his works more impactful, heavy, cheerful, releasing, pure and passionate, showing great appreciation. It not only takes the form of ancient inscriptions and modern calligraphy, but also incorporates its own artistic expression style in a new and pioneering way. This formulation has naturally been recognized by some experts and critics present.
In addition to the exhibition, the organizer Inayi also planned and organized a dialogue on "the transformation of traditional brushwork in the contemporary era". A famous writer, cultural scholar, the author of The Story of Two Generations of Love, Aikebe Wulamu, and a senior critic Wu Zeping; Theway, an internationally renowned curator and curator of the Venice Biennale, Kang Wenfeng, a curator and critic of contemporary art, and famous artists such as Xu, Ma, Lazy Cloud and Du Changfeng gathered together to start a dialogue and discussion around this topic, and to integrate Fu Wenjun's record of his life experience and artistic experience into the cross-border practice of contemporary art with the live exhibition of his works as the line.
