"Cold leaves don't fall" is a natural phenomenon and ecological realism. It is also the embodiment of character and morality. As for Mr. Wang's name, I once wrote a four-character rhyme: "(Yang) goes through the clouds, (Song) is tall and straight and evergreen, (White) is cold and does not shed leaves, and the three trees blend together." Being cold and not falling leaves is his character.
Mr. Bai Song was born as the younger brother of a scholar. I studied calligraphy and painting under the guidance of my father since I was a child. After professional study and training, calligraphy, sketch, oil painting, Chinese painting and ink painting have all achieved positive results. Galloping in the battlefield of calligraphy and painting for more than 50 years, accompanied by wandering and bumps in the artistic journey. So today's achievements: only for genius and diligence; Work hard and explore fearlessly; The cultivation of ethnic fertile soil depends on the support of society and friends.
20 10 In Fangshan, Beijing, Mr. Bai Song was hired as the judge of the first China White Marble Culture and Art Festival and gave a calligraphy performance at the award ceremony. At the meeting, the leader asked my advice-what should I write? I propose to write: "Stone is the most lovely, silent and beautiful." On the one hand, it conforms to the theme of the cultural festival; The other is also a portrayal of Mr. Bai Song's character. At that time, dozens of reporters were watching, and dozens of flashlights were aimed at Bai Song. I was very excited at that time: this is the admiration of the leaders of the conference and the recognition of him by the society. He shook his pen and waved it, and immediately won applause.
Yang Songbai exhibited two works, "Rivers Running Away" and "Xinghua Village", which were praised by Mr. Robert, Chairman of the European China Foundation, and Mr. Bass, Vice Chairman. CCTV and French TV conducted interviews and reports. /For example, Mr. Bai Song's achievement can't be forgotten, that is, the Collection of China Fine Arts edited by him. This masterpiece has formed a wide and lasting influence.
At first, I was mainly engaged in oil painting, but now I have created many color ink paintings that go beyond Chinese painting techniques. He is not bound by all kinds of fetters and is brave in innovation. /Many of his works are based on camels, and the camels' bottoms in the paintings are like cattle's bottoms-just like Badashan people, the birds and animals in his paintings are particularly discerning. Formed the painter's own characteristics. The camels and cows painted by Mr. Bai Song can be regarded as inheriting the techniques of the Six Horses in Zhaoling, but getting rid of the completely realistic characteristics of the Six Horses. Its cattle and camels have a penetrating temperament and are more hardworking and tenacious.
The comprehensive thoughts of "the integration of heaven and earth", "people-oriented" and "good nature like water" have formed his personality charm of being humble and treating others. Author: A Xing (a famous contemporary painter)
It's refreshing to see a batch of new works by painter Yang Songbai. These new works completely swept away the same popular style in his early works as that in China today. His works "Home" and "Sunflower" show me a brand-new artistic language: especially in the use of pen and ink, he combines pen and ink, color, water and other elements to give full play to the characteristics of China Xuan paper, and highlights various forms of clouds through this ingenious blend of multiple elements.
In today's painting, clouds are mostly used to set off the scenery. He regards clouds as the main theme of painting and explores his unique artistic expression in methods. He pinned his thoughts on the clouds, expressed the ups and downs of the painter's inner world with the help of the myriad changes of the clouds, and tried to produce an emotional voice with the viewer. For example, The Road Home depicts people's hard life, from which I can feel that the characters in the painting are dusty and anxious to return's mood is full of hope despite hardships.
Yang Songbai's works mostly choose the natural features of the northwest of the motherland. He feels that the vastness of the northwest is more in line with his own personality and feelings. The vitality of art comes from life and is further extended and expanded in life. Each of his works contains a very vivid artistic connotation. It is convenient for the viewer to communicate with the painter, experience the painter's simple heart, and let himself and the painter's heart return to pure nature together.
He is down-to-earth and does not seek fame. For decades, he has been looking for it. In his eyes, there is almost no job that he is satisfied with, and he always feels that he can't get it. He often looks for and finds shortcomings in his works to make them more perfect. It is in this mood that he spent decades of artistic career rigorously.
Art is the reflection of contemporary social thoughts. Nowadays, under the influence of many factors such as international communication, regional communication and scientific development, people's aesthetic standards have changed greatly. Chinese painting is also experiencing its inevitable development and change regardless of human will. If someone still uses the ancient painting theory standard to evaluate today's painting, it is obviously carving a boat to seek a sword.
He knows that innovation should be carried out on the premise of inheritance. He carefully studied the techniques of his predecessors and absorbed the essence of tradition. It can be said that he is serious about tradition, neither blindly following nor denying it. It should be said that he did not follow the expression form of the ancients, but felt the artistic creation thought of the ancients. He highly praised masters such as Huang, Pan Tianshou, Fu Baoshi, Lin Fengmian and Li Keran for cultivating the most brilliant flowers for the big garden of national art with their works. He insists on his own artistic guiding ideology, that is, "going his own way", cultivating his own painting varieties and expressing his thoughts and feelings in his own artistic language. He often tells himself not to repeat the ancients, others and himself. It is this creative belief that plunged him into a confused world, and he chose an artistic path full of challenges and hardships for himself. To this end, I sincerely wish him to get out of his confusion as soon as possible and fully enjoy the creative joy brought by "going his own way"! -Mr Yang Songbai in my eyes.

I know Mr. Yang Songbai because he created a Chinese painting called "The Moment of Scare". I was moved by the painting. The theme of his painting was the scene where a broken wall stood between heaven and earth when it was shocked. That work, whether it is composition or pen and ink, is impeccable, showing the vastness of the city wall and the grandeur of the sky incisively and vividly, just right; That kind of artistic beauty is still unforgettable in my mind, lingering for a long time. Therefore, I have the idea of visiting Mr. Yang.
However, the road to visit was not smooth. Mr. Yang is not a very famous painter in China, and even many friends in the art world, like me, only know his paintings and don't know him. After a year of inquiries, he walked into Mr. Yang's studio, an independent two-bedroom apartment surrounded by various books, painting tools and a large number of drawings, which was messy and neat. Although it is not as luxurious as the studios of some painters I visited before, it is full of strong artistic atmosphere everywhere. Mr. Yang is a very low-key and kind old man. In his studio, I was lucky enough to enjoy his latest paintings. Every painting he created seems to be vivid and magical, and it contains a unique beauty, a beauty of understanding, a beauty beyond nature, giving people an immersive and magnificent feeling. His paintings can not only be seen, but also heard and tasted, which makes people enter a magnificent, broad and vast wonderful realm.
I visited hundreds of artists. He is the most strict one I have ever seen, and he is also the most serious one about his works of art. In today's market economy, everything pays attention to economic benefits. Many painters are busy with business and speculation, while Mr. Yang is quietly studying and creating in his own studio, but it takes days or even months to create a successful work. This is not because of his poor painting skills, but because. He has been striving for progress through denial. If he is slightly dissatisfied, he must re-create on the original basis and strive for perfection. Looking at the torn drawings all over the floor, people sincerely admire him. As he said, "I am responsible for every work of mine and for history."
He cultivated the excellent traditional culture of the Chinese nation in his mind; Neutralization in calligraphy; It is simple to withdraw from the appointment; It is the change of Vientiane; It is not easy to be naive and true; At the same time, it also pursues an invisible elephant image; The connotation of being a late bloomer; The shock of a loud voice; Endless steps on the avenue; Really achieve the unity of nature and humanistic thought. I firmly believe that Mr. Yang, with his unique artistic philosophy, will certainly create a dazzling artistic world with his artistic thinking through time and space.
