First, it is a vivid portrait of a figure painting. The key to figure painting is vivid, and the vivid pen is not made by ordinary people, nor is it entirely based on talent and help from God, but thanks to the accumulation of decades of study and cultivation. Mr. Ding has a profound knowledge of traditional culture, and is good at calligraphy and seal cutting. He has both advantages and disadvantages, absorbs traditional culture nutrition from classical themes, uses the skills of good calligraphy and seal cutting, and expresses his mind through innovation, making him rich in profound philosophy of life and giving people rich imagination space. For example, in "Drunkenness Map", a high-ranking scholar in a deep mountain is outlined with a slightly trembling line, lying drunk in a rocky area in Panasonic, and his let me be forever drunk and never come to reason!'s naivety is admirable; The cloth-bag monk in The Cloth-bag Monk vividly depicts the pride and ease of putting down the cloth bag at that moment, coupled with the inscription "How free it is to sit and walk in a cloth bag and put down the cloth bag". Is it just to say "cloth bag"? Its witty implication is so profound and vivid.
secondly, go deep into the society and dig out themes from life. Just like writing articles in a timely manner, only the art close to life has artistic tension. Although Mr. Ding was born, raised and established in a metropolis, he never forgot that the fiery life is the true meaning of art source. As early as when he was teaching in Zhejiang Academy of Fine Arts, he took his students to sketch in islands and mountain villages every year to experience life and enjoy the gift of nature. Even during his work in Xiling Printing Society, he took time to sketch and absorb rich artistic nutrition from life. For example, in the picture of feeding deer, a lovely southern girl carefully feeds three lively and lovely deer under the tall and straight banana tree. Vivid descriptions and quiet pictures constitute a peaceful and harmonious southern customs map. In the wild, an old man holds an unearthed pottery jar in his hand, observes the glaze carefully with a magnifying glass, a man pinches his fingers to calculate, and a woman takes notes with a pen. Its hard working environment and meticulous work style make the dedication of archaeologists vividly on paper.
thirdly, painting with books forms an artistic style full of interest. It is an old saying in the industry that calligraphy and painting are of the same origin, but Mr. Ding Maolu does have a profound knowledge of calligraphy. He is now a member of China Calligraphers Association and a director of Zhejiang Calligraphy Association, and his works have also been selected for the second national calligraphy exhibition. His calligraphy works emphasize ink and form, with proper density, rigorous meaning and proper opening and closing. On the basis of peaceful style, he injects naive and deformed lines, so his simple brushwork is freehand, with lines as the mainstay, supplemented by ink, and slightly trembling lines to properly express "similarity and dissimilarity" For example, in Mu Di Tu, on the left, two oxen looking for grass by the river are outlined with heavy lines of wet ink, and on the right, a shepherd boy playing piccolo horizontally is written with thin lines of light ink. The rocks, grass and moss spots are mixed with the interest of stone and stone, and the picture is dynamic and lively, and a harmonious atmosphere of flowing water and the sound of mu Di is endowed with positive significance for building ecological civilization.
