Read Mr. Sun Guang’s words. Mr. Sun Guang always calls his calligraphy a painter's calligraphy. It has been titled in dozens of film and television works and has still achieved great success. If you taste it carefully, Mr. Sun Guang's calligraphy is somewhat different from traditional calligraphy, whether it is the use of pens, the knotting of words, or the composition. The ancients said that calligraphy and painting have the same origin. I don’t know what the original meaning was, but I think that calligraphy and traditional Chinese painting are both a way for our ancestors to record natural forms and thoughts.
. What's more, Chinese characters are hieroglyphics, and many characters are directly derived from natural forms. Calligraphy lines are also based on natural forms, but the characters slowly evolve from natural forms into abstract symbols, and the lines have also been improved by calligraphers
Refining and sublimating, sifting and fixing from the many lines depicting nature. Over time, it seems that once the lines become distant from these things, it seems that they are no longer calligraphy. It has always been believed that the way to learn good lines is to copy the works of ancient famous artists. This is also considered to be the only way to learn books. Firstly, you can feel the calligrapher's perception of calligraphy, and secondly, you can also learn excellent writing habits - that is, the movement form of writing. But I want to ask here, which calligraphy family did the earliest calligraphers study? This is very similar to the old question of which came first, the chicken or the egg. Obviously, the original calligraphers drew their methods from nature and the essence of heaven and earth, rather than from inscriptions on stele. I think the essence of this is inheritance and innovation. It can be seen from this that there are two ways to learn books. The first is to copy a family's works, with "like writing" as the standard, focusing on technical training, and slowly figuring out and understanding the calligrapher's concept of writing and the movement form of writing.
Another way is to start from the source of the formation of calligraphy, treat calligraphy as a knowledge, and explore the common laws and principles why works of different styles are excellent by experiencing the works of calligraphers of the past dynasties, so as to This is my guide
Learn by yourself and follow your own path. Undoubtedly, Mr. Sun Guang belongs to the latter. Mr. Sun Guang's calligraphy is derived from traditional Chinese painting, using rich painting lines to express the shape of characters as natural forms. Not only the lines, but also the composition and composition of words are also based on the composition of paintings. In a word, words are treated as paintings. Paintings express natural forms, and calligraphy expresses characters abstracted from natural forms, so I think they are the same thing, and at the same time they do not deviate from the laws and principles of calligraphy, so , Mr. Sun Guang is not only his own brand, but also outstanding.
Read Mr. Sun Guang’s paintings again. Regarding Mr. Sun Guang's calligraphy and painting, I once summarized it in one sentence, which I left on Mr. Sun Guang's blog: Painting is used as a book, and color is used to overcome ink. The first sentence talks about calligraphy, which I have already said before. Here
I want to read Mr. Sun Guang’s paintings. Mr. Sun Guang's paintings are known as "Icai" and are unique in today's painting world. I don't know much about painting, but I think that the evaluation of a painting depends on the psychological feelings of the viewer. Neither
measure nor calculate, let alone verify whether it is really close to reality. As long as it is comfortable to look at, makes people feel happy, and makes people feel a healthy and upward interest, it is a good work. If it hadn't been like that, photography would have replaced painting, meticulous painting would have flourished forever, and freehand painting would never have appeared. Here, we might as well make a simple comparison between painting and photography. Photography forms patterns according to geometric principles, which are not only specific and complete, but also very precise. Painting is about grasping the essential characteristics of the depicted object and showing the most beautiful side. Some people say that the beauty of painting lies in the balance between similarity and non-similarity. I think this is what it means. Meticulous brushwork first appeared in Chinese painting, and it may have performed certain functions before the emergence of photography technology, while freehand painting appeared much later. There is a process of deepening our understanding. It's just that Mr. Sun Guang's paintings have a stronger freehand and lyrical flavor, but Mr. Sun Guang's paintings use bolder and more sophisticated colors, and they look more artistic.
Mr. Sun Guang's freehand paintings, through tranquil brushwork and thick colors, depict for us a kind of artistic conception, a distant and endless aftertaste feeling, without deliberately focusing on the specific form. I don't deliberately care about the specific colors. I am not only freehand in form, but also freehand in color. It seems casual, but in fact it is really freehand. ?
