China's landscape painting creation is a spiritual phenomenon, from which we can see the artist's induction to the times; The artist's cultural taste can be seen from his works. You can learn about the artist's life realm from his works. Mr. Kang Jincheng, vice chairman of Gansu Federation of Literary and Art Circles, vice chairman of Gansu Artists Association and director of China Artists Association, is not only a scholar and expert with profound traditional culture, but also an artist with persistent cultivation, constant innovation and dual virtues and arts. He is famous for his landscape painting and plum blossom painting in the field of flower-and-bird painting.
Looking at Mr. Kang Jincheng's landscape painting, first of all, gives the author a lofty atmosphere, splashing ink with a pen, incisively and vividly, full of interest, unique style and amazing. It can be clearly seen that his comprehensive literacy in literature, calligraphy and painting is rich and profound. Reading his landscape paintings, such as gathering stones and Zhao Hui, endless paintings of Cangshan Mountain, thousands of miles of snow, clearing the air and seeking cold, the Yellow River traveling three thousand miles eastward, and Qiushan Mountain connecting with the sky in the west, all have such feelings. His paintings are all written by himself, and readers can appreciate the infinite beauty of nature from his works. In his pictures, he not only shows the traditional painting structure, but also pays attention to eclecticism in the horizontal direction of culture, which makes his works rich in connotation. Moreover, he pays more attention to the artistic conception of creation, especially likes to use huge scales as a carrier to express pen and ink, momentum and emotion; In his paintings, people are bold, broad and shocking; In his works, mountains and valleys, rivers and springs produce a dynamic and aggressive picture, giving people a lofty and heroic atmosphere, which is a major feature of Kang Jincheng's landscape paintings.
Kang Jincheng's landscape paintings highlight the essential characteristics of Chinese painting, and his pen and ink skills are superb. His mastery of traditional techniques enabled him to use various brushwork and ink painting methods to take pictures. At present, the collision between eastern and western cultures has brought great changes to Chinese painting. If Chinese painting moves closer to the west, it is a new form in China, but it weakens and erodes the essence of Chinese painting in a wider range of the world. Kang Jincheng always insists on keeping watch in tradition and innovating in tradition. Most of his pictures are based on pen and ink, paying attention to the changes of lines and Mo Yun, as well as the composition characteristics of points, lines and planes, or setting off reality with emptiness, reflecting emptiness with reality, or showing simplicity with reality, highlighting agility in implication. Although some works are close-range descriptions, there are deep environments from near to far, and layers overlap to produce very rich pictures. He insists on his own freehand brushwork, pays attention to local subtle depiction, combines dynamic and static, and strives for subtlety in expression, which is different from the ancients and higher than the times, and becomes his own unique artistic language, which is another major feature of Kang Jincheng's landscape painting.
Mr. Kang Jincheng's landscape paintings are not only exquisite, but also his flower-and-bird paintings and plum blossom themes are very creative. Representative works include Iron Bone as Spring, Flowers as Snow, Noble People, Fragrance of Cold Branches, Ancient Rhyme, Lingfeng Fragrance, Seven Sides of Leng Yan, Fragrant Scent, Pale Flowers, Thousand-year-old Gu Mei Bamboo Kunkun, and Style and Parting in Fragrance. In his series of plum blossom works, he focuses on the cultural connotation of stems, branches and flowers. He planted plum, loved plum, wrote plum and praised plum, constantly observed plum, took time to collect poems and sketch in plum gardens around the country, and deeply thought about plum culture. Pay attention to pen and ink and lines, pay attention to the cultural connotation and the spirit of the times in the picture. I think that only those who have a deep understanding of these cultural connotations can draw the theme of plum blossom culture well, so that the picture is no longer an empty and vague symbol or a graphic representation. The plum blossom created on his screen is not a simulation or a reproduction, but a remolding of the object and a sublimation of the artistic conception. Raising the ideological connotation and cultural taste of the theme of plum blossom culture to a new height reflects his foresight in exploring the theme of plum blossom culture, and enables people to observe and understand its artistic conception and spirit through the described plum blossom. This is why his painting of plum blossoms can make people feel emotional. This is a major feature of Kang Jincheng's painting of plum blossoms, and it is also quite distinctive. His plum blossom works are vigorous, vigorous, lofty, tall and straight, magnificent, drawing the character and spirit of plum blossom, highlighting the artistic characteristics of Chinese painting to express the painter's spiritual world.
Reading Kang Jincheng's paintings repeatedly, plum blossom works always have a fresh aesthetic feeling. Colorful and ever-changing intentions. The flowing charm stirs people's hearts and emotions. The mixture of ink and color, and the combination of work and writing constitute decoration, all of which convey his ingenuity. In today's painting world full of fashion charm, artists seem to operate according to commodities, and it is difficult to escape the confrontation with material. In the exhibition era that pays attention to formal expression and repeatedly operates one's own goods, it is difficult to escape the situation of confrontation with materials. In the exhibition era that pays attention to formal expression, and in the repeated commodity era, the vulgarity of painting is often ignored by the inner spiritual cultivation. Therefore, the loss of pen and ink, lines and emotions in paintings is the essence of the weakening of Chinese painting tradition. What can we do to resist this weakening? Only artistic persistence! Kang Jincheng's paintings, whether landscapes or plum blossoms, are calling for the lost humanistic spirit, which makes people consciously increase their awareness of character cultivation and knowledge cultivation, produces worries and anxieties about the present situation and trend of painting circles, and produces a sense of responsibility and mission as an artist. For decades, Kang Jincheng has been watching, wandering and cultivating in his own home, aiming at expressing the essence of pen and ink and the cultural spirit of Chinese painting, and making efforts in this respect. Kang Jincheng's landscape paintings and plum blossom paintings just show that only by liberating people from the lost humanistic spirit, stereotyped living conditions and inherent thinking patterns can they have the desire to break through and surpass. Only in this way can art get rid of the fetters of narrow reality and reach a higher realm of life. Only when an artist is educated and his life level rises can his painting level rise, which is the significance of Kang Jincheng's painting. The author sincerely wishes my dear friend Jin Cheng good health and a new level of painting art.
