Artistic feature

Chen is a "multi-functional" painting and calligraphy artist. He is rooted in the people and communicates with ordinary people. When I was a teenager, I traveled in cities and villages in central and western provinces for many years. Vicissitudes have forged his spirit of hard work and hard work. He has a keen and broad thinking, an upright character and a different understanding of life. His perceptual art is everywhere in life, close to nature, close to things around him and close to life. Art exists in communication between people, understanding between people and things, appreciation between people and things, and existence between people and nature. He pursues few arts and languages, focusing on beautifying and praising people's lives, taking people's lives and practicality as the theme. He never puts art above life. Art is for life, not higher than life. Simple artistic language, like a person, should not be too sophisticated or too tactful. Without arrogance and absurd ideas, he could not reach the unity of heaven and man, nor could he reach the god of eight famine; The only thing we can do is not to break the rules. The works are presented to the world in a popular and aesthetic pursuit style. They are unpretentious and have a strong flavor of China local culture, and are deeply loved by the people.

Relief works: the relief works under his knife tend to cut mud, and the knife method is delicate; Most of the works are expressive and semi-abstract. The performance includes landscapes, people, animals, pavilions, tools and appliances used in people's lives; The materials involved are wood, bamboo, porcelain, stone, brick and so on. Create a bas-relief painted board painting. Appreciate his relief board painting; It can be seen that board painting is combined with its seal cutting, Xiao-shaped printing and case printing; Composition, composition and engraving have the same effect, which shows the * * * relationship between painting and printing.

Chinese painting works: the theme of the works is based on life and nature. There is a saying in The Master of Modern Painting and Calligraphy that he learns from nature. The technique of expression combines freehand brushwork and realism, not sticking to one pattern. Appreciating his traditional Chinese paintings, it is not difficult to find that Chen's emphasis on realism, pen and ink perception, pen and ink beauty and color change is better than ink painting, which also shows a characteristic of Chen's grasp of local culture; A festive and inspiring theme.

Seal cutting works: the combination of broadsword and trickling knife; Chasing Qin and Han Dynasties and attracting modern people. A wide range of subjects, from words to patterns; It believes that it is wrong to say that ancient Chinese characters should be matched with words and pictures, and that there is no picture and no words first. But one thing is certain; The ancients drew pictures and took notes, and the words were also. When people appreciate his seal cutting works, they should pay more attention to their patterns, which are not only rich in content, but also rich in life meaning and folk customs. Shen Jian's powerful and precise knife work has made its colorful printing style; There is agility in hunjian and strength in beauty. The changeable ability to play with knives is still relatively rare.

Calligraphy works: There are many inscriptions nearby, featuring a collection of characters. Respect the evolution law of Chinese character writing, advocate the combination of calligraphy and the times, so as to help Chinese characters serve the development direction of society without posturing; It is necessary to separate calligraphy from Chinese characters. In its own words: this is a disrespect for the inheritance and development of Chinese characters, just like city people grow flowers in flowerpots and country people grow flowers in the courtyard. Both are flowers, and the latter is more natural. It is not surprising that thousands of words often appear in his works. He often teases: I can only write, but I can't write.

Art evaluation

Cheng Chongli, a Master of Calligraphy, Painting and Printing Art Rooted in the Folk (Excerpt)

Calling Chen's labor achievements art or craft, I have met many painters and painters themselves, and I have seen many picture books, and that's all. I remember sitting in his painting shop ten years ago, and an old man said excitedly when he entered the door: finally found it! I searched all over the city, but I didn't find a satisfactory map of pine cranes. Asked why, the old man said,' You all painted the crane's head to the left, so I bought it and hung it on the north wall, with its head facing west. "Isn't this a sign of bad luck?" Later I consulted Chen, who explained that it was folk culture. Nave's paintings, also known as master paintings, are hung on the north wall of the main hall, like a crane heading west, which means driving a crane westward. Chen is a man of heart and has been in contact with him for more than ten years. In contrast, I think Chen is better than others; Calligraphy and painting seals, reliefs, stone carvings, life experiences, and contacts with people can all be taken up and put down. Its art, characters, experiences and people's love are more like "everyone".

Artistic proposition

Contemporary Calligraphy Theory (Excerpt)

Calligraphy should be based on good writing style. How to talk about calligraphy if you can't write well! Calligraphy refers to the grasp of the "style" of content and the arrangement of "style" in the process of writing. Only from the perspective of writing good words, combined with line strokes to make changes, word spacing, line spacing layout; Make the whole layout reasonable and produce a pleasing aesthetic feeling, which is called calligraphy.

To write Chinese characters, we should understand and follow the structural characteristics of Chinese characters; Chinese characters are single-character glyphs composed of eight specific strokes: point, horizontal, vertical, left, right, fold, hook and lift. On this basis, it is not difficult to understand and grasp the four basic writing methods summarized by our ancestors: "top-down, left-to-right, first outside and then inside, first middle and then both sides". Look back at Chinese characters after knowing the ending and writing method; From Oracle Bone Inscriptions to seal script, official script and Song style, from regular script to running script and cursive script; It is not difficult to understand that the "structural evolution" of Chinese characters is regular and develops in the general direction of being easier to write and more practical. In this way, with a "clear understanding" of Chinese characters, it is not easy to deviate from the development track of calligraphy.

Retro calligraphy is only a pursuit of the evolution of Chinese characters, which can not be advocated excessively, and can not be sought after as the mainstream of Chinese character development; In this way, it is not conducive to the needs of social development. Symbols, Moline, random lines, etc. It is not Chinese characters at all that are separated in advance; What the public and "professional judges" don't recognize is that they are divorced from the nutrients passed down. Calligraphy is the saying of "line art" and "ink line symbol"; Not correct. Inheriting and transforming Chinese characters to our descendants will be misleading and will be detrimental to the development of Chinese characters.

The intention of calligraphy creation should be to modify power and beauty within the limits of the basic structure of Chinese characters. This modification should also reflect the thickness, length and straightness of strokes in the writer's personal writing habits, and naturally reveal the personality between turns with the pen. It is not "arbitrary creation" without statutes, "increasing or decreasing strokes" at will, and deviating from the change of stroke direction. Calligraphers in China are pioneers of Chinese character transformation and followers of Chinese character inheritance, which should be changed and developed in a practical direction.

Contemporary Art Theory (Excerpt)

As long as the analysis is thorough, ideological things, material things, things that all mankind can touch; No matter past, present or future, it can't be unique and absolute. Wang Ximeng's "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains", Zhang Zeduan's "The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival", Qi Baishi's "Shrimp" and Xu Beihong's "Horse" have influenced people's lives! A thorough analysis is just a "dispensable" thing in life; It is not necessary for spirit, nor for life. Painter; It is just "a profession" for human existence. A piece of paper has nothing but paint and ink.

Art itself depends on the painter's own perception of the surrounding things and life. The painter creates a real vision through the brush, adjusts the lives of others, and beautifies and embellishes the living space of others. Now most painters are retrograde, not to feel the things in life around them, but to feel the emptiness in imagination. Please remember that visual art will never become ideological art, and the judgment of picture quality will always be based on everyone's own aesthetic feeling. It is the art of "looking straight". Whether the picture is pleasing to the eye and whether the "live" is done carefully; There is no need to make a long speech, but look at what the feeling of "self" in the picture has created. The content can only be a few words. "Painters" should not lose their ideas; Praise the article is his, "the whole theory" just washes other people's brains with "ideological art" and makes the work sell at a good price.

Unreal and unreal, how to talk about visual impact can only be the abnormal condition of the painter's psychological absurdity, ghosts and weirdness, and the mentality is the embodiment of sunshine. This kind of work does not need to be carefully examined, and it will also feel sinister and fearful. Just like wandering between ghosts and gods, it is actually superstitious. It is too far away from the theme of art, a beautiful visual art.
