Recently, I saw Mr. Wang Yongfeng's calligraphy and seal cutting works, and my heart suddenly brightened up a lot.
Whether it is Mr. Yongfeng's calligraphy works or seal cutting works, there is a sense of freshness when you open your eyes. As far as his calligraphy works are concerned, Mr. Wang's calligraphy has a wide range, including truth, cursive script, line script, official script and seal script, but it is not ordinary fur. No matter its seal script, official script, running script and cursive script, it can reveal profound traditional skills. Even by borrowing modern calligraphy forms, people can read the strength and ancient rhyme of their traditional calligraphy. Mr. Wang's seal script, in particular, not only acquired the profound, simple, vigorous, round, dignified and smooth connotation of seal script, but also inherited the essence of Wu Changshuo and Deng's pen in brushwork and bone line. Therefore, the overall effect of Mr. Wang's seal script works is: astringent but not sluggish, dignified and dignified, with rich background color and full charm. For example, Mr. Wang's works, such as "three people must learn from each other's strengths …", "sincere and harmonious" and "plum blossoms are elegant and elegant as chrysanthemums", at first glance, are rooted in Sanskrit, especially in writing and writing, but if you appreciate them carefully, you will find that they have simultaneously melted and cast the essence of all previous generations of seal scripts. Especially in the grasp of composition, it not only contains the flowing spirit in Wu Changshuo's works, but also embodies Deng's great demeanor. It can be seen that Mr. Wang has learned from the superb writing skills of those immortal seal scripts, and he can skillfully express them in a free and unrestrained space with his own thoughts. The degree of free expression has reached the point where everything is in my heart and everything is in my pen. As far as his running script is concerned, although their forms of expression are novel and modern, it is not difficult for us to read the elegance of the two kings, the cleverness of Mi Fei, the danger of Wang Duo, the dignity of Wu Changshuo and the arrogance of Sha Menghai from his works. In other words, Mr. Yongfeng's exquisite maturity is all based on his grasp of the artistic characteristics of ancient Chinese characters. Therefore, Mr. Yong's calligraphy, consciously or unconsciously, has its own form of flying and heavy brushwork.
Compared with calligraphy, Mr. Yongfeng is more proficient in seal cutting. Tracing back to his creative impression, it is not difficult to find that Mr. Wang embarked on a road of development and innovation on the basis of mastering tradition skillfully. According to Mr. Wang's memory, he entered the third national seal cutting exhibition with extraordinary Chinese and Indian kung fu. Being able to do traditional kung fu and make a figure in the national exhibition with innovation as the prominent theme is enough to show that Mr. Yongfeng's traditional skills have reached a dazzling level. However, Mr. Yongfeng was not intoxicated by entering the national exhibition. On the contrary, it was this national exhibition that gave him unprecedented shock and reflection. He keenly observed that the best state of the seal cutting world is to be bold in neatness. It is an inevitable new trend to face this quietly rising. A new concept of "change" immediately dominates and guides Yongfeng's aesthetic consciousness. But, change, change where? How relaxed is it under the background of a master? He has been thinking about this problem. The characteristics of China seal are: horizontal and vertical lines, delicate and smooth, steady and elegant; Rules are neat and dignified, elegant and beautiful; Between words, divide the territory equally and can't bear to let go; Font structure, balance, no uniform change, no disparity in density. Knife skills pay attention to breeze and drizzle. Seeking change on this basis is undoubtedly a subversion of aesthetic consciousness. The difficulty is self-evident. But all this can't shake Wang Change Yongfeng's thoughts and beliefs. He began to move forward unswervingly, towards his chosen goal!
In the process of creative practice, on the one hand, he thinks about himself, on the other hand, he sees many teachers and analyzes and draws lessons from their composition and knife skills. After several years of hard work, his new knowledge was finally recognized by the fourth national seal cutting exhibition. The remarkable sign of recognition is that his works have made a deep leap and revolutionary breakthrough in composition, knife cutting and border design. In terms of composition, a large number of works with brand-new features have appeared in his works, such as Ding Jingzhi's Qin, Sleeping for a Thousand Miles, Ten Mountains, Buddhism and so on. These works not only broke the traditional Sino-Indian structure, but also added many mysteries and changes in the depicted trend and the use of knives. For example, the characteristics of the seal "lying and swimming thousands of miles" show that the word "lying and swimming" is not only large as a whole, but also changes greatly between the two. It is letter-shaped, lying small and swimming big, with dense left and sparse right. The three drops of water swimming in the letter are not only three drops, but also slightly inclined in the process of rushing, receiving and releasing. The word "a thousand miles" and "a thousand miles" are small and big, and there is a big blank between lying and lying, which echoes the blank under three drops of water. Coupled with the combination of punching and cutting, the whole work looks dense and smart; Ups and downs, magnificent. Another work, Ten Mountains, is not only bolder in composition, but also more skillful in using a knife. For example, the ratio of the cross to the clock is almost six to one, and the setting of the mountain character and the writing character is even more wonderful. The mountain is like a big stone, and the words are like a shelf that is about to break open. Coupled with the smooth and light knife method, the five knives on the left are light and heavy, and the bow on the right seems to be broken. This deliberate, it is not difficult to think that the artist is in a state of passion, but also under all kinds of repression, completed this work. "Buddhism and Zen" gives people a sense of perfection. In the application of composition, it shows the rationality under pure feelings, and pays more attention to the internal echo in depicting trends. For example, the two verticals of the word Buddha and the three verticals below the word zong complement each other and echo each other, which naturally adds a sense of movement to the whole work. The three vertical lines at the bottom of zongzi deliberately leave scars of knife cutting, which makes the whole work look simple and vigorous. Mr. Yongfeng's money gives full play to his talents. He seeks change in nature, neatness in free and easy, and satisfaction in form. Or carve a paragraph like falling snow in an instant, or improvise a small scene with interesting little paintings. For example, he illustrated a poem by Zheng Banqiao, "Painting Bamboo Branches in Forty Years". In the middle of the photo folder, on both sides of the stationery, there are several small bamboos like lines. Although they are interested in painting, they stand according to festivals, with poetic content and feelings and interesting customs. After finding all this, Mr. Yongfeng seemed to open a skylight that had been closed for many years, and he jumped up like a dragon in the abyss. Then he found a new feeling that was moved by temperament and expressed by emotion. In order to achieve his goal, he chose Xiao Xiangyin as the carrier and carved hundreds of squares in one breath. 1998, he began to print in ancient culture, which started his exploration process aimed at enhancing the simplicity and massiness of seals. This choice is naturally inseparable from Chu Dian. So he chose the temple of Chu as a pearl: half the sky. Ma, Yuhuan, Yuerugou, Chang 'an ancient clock and more than 100 fine words. , carved in one breath.
Yongfeng is a man of heart. During his progress, he recorded every artistic footprint in the form of notes.
Kung fu plus thought, and then kung fu plus thought, naturally let Mr. Yongfeng get rid of the unsuccessful truth.
Sweat soaks millet, sweat soaks art, and the steps under the feet of any successful person are made of sweat. So is Mr. Yongfeng!
