Watching the calligraphy works of Ma Jianqi, a famous calligrapher, is very enjoyable. His calligraphy has a distinct style of Jin rhyme, and the cursive script is neither vigorous nor vigorous, and the scale is appropriate. Si Erwang is free to write, which is the charm of taking the law as the top priority and getting the law as the top priority. He is also a contemporary master, and his pen and ink contains the character of appealing to both refined and popular tastes in calligraphy. The values of making the past serve the present make his calligraphy the most contemporary.
Whether you are proficient in calligraphy and painting depends on whether the foundation of regular script is deep. Teacher Ma never takes shortcuts or tricks when practicing calligraphy, but is a solid study of inscriptions, which sharpens the power of inscriptions. In his early years, he was obsessed with calligraphy, and because of his extraordinary calligraphy, he learned the truth from the tablet of Shence Army and had a thorough understanding of the authentic cultural taste of calligraphy. It is wonderful to use solid regular script roots as cursive brushstrokes, that is, the law does not deceive others, and the merits do not deceive the world!
When he writes brush strokes, he must study them carefully and quote comprehensive reasons. When there are many variants, it will be its essence. When dealing with someone who turns a pen, you must know its source. There is a lot of effort in calligraphy practice, and calligraphy theory has thoroughly studied it, so when he put pen to paper, he must be intentional, and he can write Autumn Eagle Escaping. When you start writing, you will write quickly and happily, and you will not get rid of mud and water. The pen and the pen will set each other off, explain clearly and never be vague. Therefore, if we look at his calligraphy like a breeze and a bright moon, we can naturally see the essence of Jin people's calligraphy!
If calligraphy wants to be successful, it can't just rely on sharpening, let alone relying on nature. Only a pencil sharpener, write at most that a certain family is a book slave of a certain family. Only natural people are easy to become Jianghu bodies that break away from the rules. Looking at Ma Jianqi's calligraphy works, there is a very clear conclusion, that is, calligraphy should be a model of both discipline and freedom. Born knowing the essence of calligraphy, I am still angry and realize that the inscription is sharpening. Through the enlightenment of calligraphy and the description of inscriptions, his calligraphy can fully appreciate the literati interest of traditional calligraphy style, and it is also independent without losing itself. You can enter the tablet or create. You can change the tip of Feng Yu's pen in a painting without hindrance when you start writing, and you will feel depressed in an instant!
If you only learn calligraphy from calligraphy, it is a rigid form and there will be no expression. Teacher Ma Jianqi's calligraphy skills are profound and skillful, and he is obsessed with learning from nature. Just like Huai Su's calligraphy, he borrowed from the loopholes in Gong Yan's works and from many fronts in Xia Yun. Xia Yun's freehand brushwork never stopped because of the wind, and eventually became a generation of holy pens. Teacher Ma has honed his calligraphy for decades and knows the natural beauty of cursive writers like the back of his hand. Therefore, he used pen and ink to write about ecology, with a large pen like a flying beast and a light pen like a string. He was good at making the shape of his face and also writing about the trend of peaks and falls! With the beauty of nature, force can't do it! Inside the word, outside the word, naturally wonderful!
The pen is long and snake-like, and the clever pen is natural. Standing in front of his own calligraphy works, he often sighs: lyric according to the book is the highest realm. His cursive script is actually the carrier of his mind. The heart and the pen are the same. Write about wind and rain when the emotion is intense, and write about falling flowers and flying snow when it is poetic. Rotating the circle can make you feel free, and the profit of rotating speed can make you feel collapsed. Driven by strength and speed, you can put pen to paper and instantly scan thousands of sheets, showing your proficiency in pen and ink and your adaptation to feelings! Only by waking up the book can we be so free!
