Feel the scenery
Mood and painting
A painter must face reality and life sincerely, and then know it and surpass it. The painter's duty is to record the emotional trajectory of human thoughts and behaviors that reflect the feelings of life and become his works. Why do I paint? This is the question I have been asking myself for 30 years. But it didn't let my footsteps find a harbor to stay in, and my wandering mind was still at a loss. Therefore, I put a lot of time and spirit into reading and thinking.
My reflection is accompanied by my unremitting efforts, feeling Xu Qingteng's artistic conception and painting, and feeling the ethereal and clear life perception of Badashan people. Looking back on Wang Wei's broken ink landscape in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the ink is bit by bit, expressing the literati's endless feelings about life. Exploring their mental journey and observing their spiritual world-the spirit beyond skills and wisdom really touched me. I understand that what I need is the expression of emotion, which is the form needed to express emotion, so it is possible for me to enter today's creative state.
The attitude of those scholars in the world and the way of grasping the world make me feel novel and fascinated. China's traditional culture is vast, Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism are the most typical representatives, and Taoism is the core of the three. Tao is the essence of all things and art. In China's traditional paintings, the embodiment of Tao can be said to be everywhere. That is not only the embodiment of a certain concept, but also an injection of cultural spirit and soul. It is difficult to express it in words, but everyone needs to experience it with their own hearts.
Artistic creation needs realm and way, the first is realm, and painters need to enjoy themselves in the management of pictures. Pictures need to be managed, and it is painstaking management. When you taste the taste of management, your mental state will relax. This kind of management needs to find an expression, and the choice of this way should be natural. There's only one way, your own.
My present painting state is natural and serious, which is attributed to my ancestor, Xu Wei's wild and unrestrained, splashing ink, and the lonely, concise and lively Badashan people, of course, because they live in different times. But even the eight Yangzhou schools living in the same era have obvious differences in artistic personality. Our bamboo is very different from ours. And the plum blossoms described by Wang have different faces, which is caused by the painter's different subjective images of the objects described.
I draw flowers and birds, but I don't forget to absorb the world view in landscape painting. I am inheriting the tradition and reappearing the freehand brushwork style of "keeping simplicity". In flower-and-bird painting techniques, while pursuing Chinese style and national significance, he also learned the charm of pen and ink from the Eighth National Congress, Wu Changshuo and Qi Baishi, and made great efforts in artistic conception. Because "artistic conception" is the soul of Chinese painting. In my works, the milk swallow hovering in the branches in early spring and the shepherd boy herding cattle in autumn fields all show their fascination with the simple rural scenery, which is a combination of love and scenery. Chickens hold their heads high to meet the rising sun and face life with a smile; The myna under the wicker is carefree and playful; Swallows are chirping in the sky in the lush forest, the noise of spring, sparrows flying fast in the oblique wind, and pomegranates cracked in autumn. In the middle, a kind of artistic conception is created. Spring News and nostalgia are the representative works of this kind of performance, which reproduce the true meaning of natural scenery and life journey and convey the love for life. These are the true meanings obtained in the arduous course of continuous practice and repeated exploration.
What level a work can reach must be judged by others. But I seem to vaguely see a small oasis where my thoughts can stay. I'm approaching her.

Qi Sixue, who is in her fifties this year, likes painting since she was a child. Because of his poor family, after graduating from middle school, he went home and became a farmer for ten years. Ten years has changed a lot for him. The only thing that has not changed is that he still loves painting. Ten years later, his life took a major turn. He was lucky enough to go to the Academy of Fine Arts for further study. At school, he finally had more time and conditions to learn painting and met some teachers who had a great influence on his painting.
Qi Sixue said: "When I first learned to paint, my teacher told me that learning to paint with me must first learn to be a person, and the requirements for people are very strict. While teaching techniques, I have also studied various arts, such as Beijing opera, Chinese opera, dance and martial arts, because painting is not about how deep the technique is, but how deep the cultural connotation is, so that your painting can reach a new height. "
After years of hard work, Qi Sixue's painting skills have been continuously improved, and many experts have fully affirmed his works. He is particularly good at painting peonies. While pursuing China folk art, his peony paintings absorbed the brushwork of many famous artists, and the artistic conception of his works was bittersweet, sad and unique. Although he has made great achievements, Qi Sixue still has higher requirements for himself. Whenever he is dissatisfied with his works, he will not hesitate to tear them up and repaint them, sometimes even hundreds. He said that talent and talent are not used to go with the flow, but to challenge time and constantly break through themselves.
Qi Sixue said: "Over the years, as long as I think the paintings are not good, I will tear them up, no less than a few hundred at a time. I don't want to take out what I am dissatisfied with, constantly deny myself, and at the same time improve my new ideas and make new creations. "
Qi Sixue not only studied painting skills hard by himself, but also often pointed out some amateur painting and calligraphy lovers and taught them what he had learned without reservation.
Calligraphy and painting lovers said, "Teacher Qi taught us what he learned without reservation. His paintings are beautiful. In fact, people always say that they are like people, and his quality, morality and style of painting are very good. "
Qi Sixue said that a painter must face reality and life sincerely, and then know himself and surpass himself. The painter's duty is to record the emotional trajectory of human thoughts and behaviors that reflect the feelings of life. Qi Sixue said that he hasn't found a harbor for himself yet. He spent a lot of time and experience in reading and thinking, constantly seeking breakthroughs in inspiration.
Qi Sixue said, "It is absolutely impossible to read more books and walk more. I have painted for 30 years, read a lot of books and traveled all over the country just to break through myself and tradition. "
