Han Zulun (famous ancient calligrapher, calligrapher and seal engraver, art critic) Mingjun’s cursive writing actually started very early, and the starting point was not low. The cursive "Qinglian Lay Poems" banner published on the personal page of "Youth Calligraphy News" in 1998 has no trace even though the two kings have died, and has reached a considerable level. However, there were not many Mingjun writings at that time, which did not give a clear impression and seemed to be obscured by the influence of printing. Like his seal cutting, Mingjun's inheritance of tradition is never superficial. Judging from his cursive calligraphy works, it is difficult to point out which clan he belongs to. We may only feel the confidence of Huaisu Xiaocao's "Thousand Character Essay", which permeates his cursive writing works. But one phenomenon can be found in his works, and that is his confidence in cursive writing. First of all, we can feel that the author entered the creative state in a peaceful and clear state of mind. The lines at the beginning are full and connotative, and the movement and movement are slightly restrained. As the space and time sequence unfold, the lines and rhythm gradually become brighter. Gradually, the creation has entered a state of free control of artistic conception. In the process of free expansion and expansion, the author's emotional ups and downs and psychological pulse can be captured. By the last few lines of the work, the author's expression of emotion is natural, and the writing form and the density of the lines have taken a back seat. Judging from the effect after finishing the painting, the overall feeling is so strong that it is not an exaggeration to call it unintentionally better. One thing must be pointed out. In terms of seal cutting creation, although Mingjun worked hard and even worked hard to realize the originality of each seal, he never deviated from the traditional Dharma. This is the conclusion we can draw by examining Mingjun's seal cutting creations one by one. Innovation cannot be done by trying to catch fish, which is the rationality of Mingjun. The long historical river of Chinese seal art that has been formed for thousands of years has provided inexhaustible creative sources for later generations of authors. "The deeper you go, the harder it is to enter, and the more strange you see. The wonders and wonders of the world are often seen. It’s all about the dangers.” At this point, it’s not difficult for us to understand why the road from getting started to standing out is so bumpy and long; why everyone wants to innovate, but there are always very few winners in the end.
Zhao Fushou (famous historian, calligrapher, painter, and art critic) Zhang Mingjun is an artist who is not muddy in ancient times, innovative and never dry, and his dyeing and writing skills are all based on the book, and he can see every subtlety. temperament. The calligraphy is natural and straightforward, with deep determination and strong strength; the sealing is free and ethereal, with clumsiness and cleverness.
Hu Wei (famous calligrapher and painter) In the contemporary art market, the price of calligraphy works lags far behind that of traditional Chinese paintings, but this does not exclude young and middle-aged calligraphers with considerable strength from seizing the market. If a certain local commanding height is coupled with years of experience, they will usually come from behind in the market and become a dark horse that shocks everyone. If you have such a discerning eye, then when the prices of calligraphers' works are still in the incubation period, you should act quickly and buy them at the most affordable price. You will definitely get unexpected returns in the future. There are many such examples in the collection world. I think friends who are interested in investing can try to choose Zhang Mingjun's calligraphy. Sun Chenxi (famous calligrapher) Everyone can write calligraphy, but to what level and what style to write is a matter of level. The atmosphere in modern society is impetuous, and there are too few people who can really devote themselves to writing. There are those who are trying to show off and deceive; there are those who are flashy and opportunistic, and there are those who pretend to be sophisticated and seek fame and reputation. Everyone has become accustomed to all these things and is not surprised at all. Due to the low threshold for calligraphy operations, it seems that anyone can do it casually. As a result, many unsightly and completely out-of-regulation works are now paraded across the street, blinding people's eyes and confusing beauty and ugliness. Zhang Mingjun is a diligent young man. His calligraphy accomplishments are based on fully inheriting the tradition and integrating his personal style, but it is not out of the ordinary, because you can always see his appreciation of the techniques and style of ancient excellent works. How rigorous the inheritance is. I think his works have considerable collection value, because there are so few people like him who are immersed in tradition wholeheartedly.
Yang Kunbing (former deputy editor of Calligraphy News, famous calligrapher and seal carver)-Zhang Mingjun’s seal carving works are tepid and pure, and they seem not to follow the prevailing trend. It not only conforms to the scale of ancient seals and Qin and Han Dynasties, but also gives people a fresh, steady and smart feeling. His works are skilled in knife skills, sharp and vigorous, his seal writing techniques are pure and accurate but not rigid, and their layouts are natural and harmonious with a strong sense of integrity. It can be said that they have a pattern that is both traditional and original.
Chen Zhensheng (professional calligrapher, painter, art critic) I can see Zhang Mingjun’s confidence in his seal.
I know that people who are engaged in calligraphy and seal cutting creations will not lack self-confidence. However, it is particularly difficult to truly express self-confidence. And Zhang Mingjun's seal can be blown by the strong wind of the times. It is neither rough and messy nor meticulous, but uses a delicate and graceful aesthetic taste to shape itself, so as to achieve both light and beauty. Hechen is a magnificent and beautiful realm with a unique realm.
