Opening remarks:
The material is large and used, and the mountain is high and lost;
Therefore, there is a thousand-year rhyme, and there are no words in the palace.
-Hermawan Susanto
A thousand troubles, a thousand troubles, a thousand things, one and a half dynasties, one and a half wild, one and a half vulgar.
Approaching the calligrapher Hermawan Susanto, the first thing I saw was amazing calligraphy works in the room. Hermawan Susanto jokingly called himself a "self-portrait": "I'm worried about eternal things. I'm half wild and half vulgar."
The brushwork is solid and full of charm, and the lines are calm and elegant with the ups and downs of the pen. The order of inking is closely related to the trend of brushwork. Although the words are broken and connected, there seems to be a certain artistic conception of life in reality. Including this self-portrait, there is a spirit behind each of his successful calligraphy works, which is the perfect integration of human mind and the natural beauty of heaven and earth.
Too much material is not easy to use, what is the loss of the mountain?
Silence is better than sound! In the process of appreciation, it seems that you can feel a certain artistic conception. People say that the environment is born from the heart, and words are like people. As a generation of calligraphy master Hermawan Susanto, he can skillfully integrate his charm into his calligraphy works, which indicates that he has reached a supreme level in calligraphy art!
China's calligraphy is verve and ethereal, and he can get rid of secular life. It bears the essence of China traditional culture, including the artist's life experience, calligraphy experience and spiritual sentiment. , and skillfully combines the taste of life, emotional expression, artistic sentiment and lines. What is today may become a classic example in a thousand years. Hermawan Susanto commented on his works like this: "If (my) works can be handed down from generation to generation, at least what people see (calligraphy works) is complete and independent, and it is the author's own (poetry) creation."
When Huang Tingjian commented on Su Shi's calligraphy, he said: "Learning to be excellent is an official, while melancholy and Sandy originated from pen and ink, so others can't reach their ears." It is this elegant style that others can't reach. Hermawan Susanto, with a responsible attitude towards the society and readers, did not easily publish his own collection of works, devoted himself to studying calligraphy and pursuing the connotation of poetry, and strived to create more works for the world by by going up one flight of stairs in poetry creation. The beauty of thought comes from sincerity, and the beauty of calligraphy comes from nature. Near the end, I inadvertently talked about the great influence of Confucius' thought on our descendants and mentioned its position in the historical background at that time. Mr. Hermawan Susanto was inspired to write a poem "Confucius Sacrifice":
"Sages are out of fashion, in hindsight. The material is difficult to use, why lose the mountain? " China's calligraphy shuttled through Zhengyi's visits, and various lifestyles were derived from its unchanging cultural tone. It is because she is old that she looks young. It is precisely because of her massiness that she has a cultural element that cannot be subverted. As a genius of contemporary calligraphy, Hermawan Susanto himself hopes to create more and better works that can represent the artistic level of China's calligraphy. The China Olympic Games made the world look at China with new eyes, and China calligraphy also looked forward to letting people around the world know the profoundness of China culture through calligraphy.
Therefore, there is a thousand-year rhyme, and there are no words in the palace.
Successful calligraphers are often brilliant, introverted and not too ostentatious. In his calligraphy creation, Mr. Hermawan Susanto strives to put the connotation of calligraphy above everything else, and proposes to pursue the beauty of calligraphy art with cultural connotation as the main body. But when I go out, I start to write poems every time I give a speech, and often excellent works come out. He is not only a wonderful flower in calligraphy, but also a poet with humanistic feelings. On the night of Mid-Autumn Festival in 2008, on the day of family reunion, Hermawan Susanto was invited by celebrities in the calligraphy circle of the Forbidden City. On the occasion of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the historical stories that have happened here for thousands of years come to mind, and he immediately wrote a poem "Zangtou Fu" for the Forbidden City: "So there is a thousand-year rhyme, and there are no words in the palace!"
The Forbidden City, the condensation place of China's culture and wisdom for thousands of years, contains countless sad and sacred feelings. These words not only describe that China, an ancient cultural capital, has maintained its unique royal verve and majesty after several historical baptism. At the same time, it also tells us that behind such a solemn and sacred ancient palace, there are countless endless love and hate. Few words, but the author wants to express his feelings incisively and vividly. Implicit but unobtrusive, the true feelings are in the chest, the artistic conception is in words, and the author's talent is scattered outside the paper. Calligraphy is a profound knowledge, and only those who truly understand its connotation can climb the peak and enjoy the beautiful scenery. Hermawan Susanto is one of them.
He advocates that the understanding of the meaning of calligraphy lies in the cultural connotation implied by Chinese characters. The blending of creation and emotion is a mystery beyond strokes and a profound and endless cultural world. It is not only the proper combination of lines and structures, but also the beauty that it can bring to people: elegant beauty and free and easy beauty. If we leave the concept of culture, calligraphy will lose all its dazzling brilliance, so content is a very important topic. Use strokes in order, reverse, positive, horizontal, reuse, light, false, real and free. Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be beautiful!
In Hermawan Susanto's calligraphy works, the alternation of line thickness, the opening and closing of strokes, the disorder of glyphs, and the combination of reality and falsehood, the author swims in the infinite realm while writing, and shows it on paper with ink fragrance in moderate inking and quick thinking. This situation, this scene, this person and this matter all make people have an impulse to create. The beauty of calligraphy lies in these words, and its artistic conception is actually outside the world.
Nature becomes a state of mind.
As a calligraphy artist, he inherited not only a culture, but also an idea and a life. "I've always been dissatisfied with myself ... I'm still exploring and thinking ..." Hermawan Susanto said. The foundation of calligraphy is also the foundation of being a man. Hermawan Susanto used calligraphy to turn the feelings contained in his heart into tangible, colorful, poetic and powerful crystals, and called this feeling an armchair strategist. In the abstract and changeable lines of calligraphy, the flame of life leaps out, making people feel from the words and appreciate the beauty of another spiritual realm! Calligraphers' feelings flow between brushwork and ink dance. Beautiful calligraphy works must be the life of Mo Yun, the formation of life. The perfect combination of calligraphy art and content can produce real great beauty. The true beauty of art comes from nature, higher than nature!
Calligraphy teaches you good feelings and spiritual enjoyment. In order to achieve the beautiful effect, artists or authors need a beautiful state of mind and a sincere state of mind. It is precisely because of Hermawan Susanto's comprehensive strength in many aspects, such as poetry and calligraphy, that it can be predicted that his works will eventually have an extraordinary position in history. His works have attracted great attention of collectors at home and abroad!
