Baoe Chen's Art Appreciation

Teacher Baoe Chen's calligraphy art and personality charm have won wide acclaim, and his works have spread abroad and are deeply loved by people from all walks of life. His calligraphy is based on the strength of Wei Gu, with the participation of Mi Fei in Song Dynasty and Wang Duo in Ming Dynasty. After decades of tempering, he combines rigidity with softness, and his calligraphy works are self-contained and lasting.

Baoe Chen's calligraphy is flashy and exaggerated, learning from the past and mainly pursuing modern design concepts. Most of them lie on their sides and rarely show their front, which is the strength of many families. This model has a deep influence on Wang Ti and Miffy, including Wang Duo and Tang Bohu, and draws on their strengths. The biggest feature is Gu Zhuo, which is open and closed, with a strong contrast between reality and reality. In a big way, the most important thing is to use the principle of Qigong, which is widely used between the lines, such as Yan Zhi's stability, Wang Zhi's show, Rice's clumsiness, Wang Duo's elegance, Tang Bohu's modesty and so on. Baoe Chen's ci is not a deliberate imitation of one person's ci, but a collection of others' strengths and a unique style.

The calligraphy art of Baoe Chen, a famous calligrapher, is as natural as its destiny, natural in Tao, natural in books, and calligraphy and Tao are integrated. Full of bold and heroic style, it has unprecedented unique artistic charm and is deeply loved by calligraphy lovers and collectors.

It began with the tradition of learning from ancient times.

Influenced by his family, Baoe Chen liked painting and calligraphy since childhood. He began to learn painting and calligraphy at the age of seven. Influenced by China's traditional culture, he has laid a solid foundation in painting and calligraphy since he was a child. After Wang Xing's calligraphy was started, he learned Mi Fei's calligraphy and copied Wei and Li's calligraphy one by one. He absorbed the strengths of many ancient schools and studied sketches, colors, oil paintings and Chinese paintings one by one. He is good at flowers, birds, insects and fish, design, chess, calligraphy and painting, and has a wide range of hobbies. When he grew up, he took part in the work of the transportation bureau and organs, which made him even more powerful, and the art of calligraphy and painting also made great progress. He once set up his own advertising company. He is very busy every day and seldom draws good books. He appreciates Qi Gong and Yang Zaichun's calligraphy best. But after studying and working, he was still busy stealing time and writing. Moreover, as a way to adjust his life, he can easily relax. Calligraphy is free and easy, paying attention to putting it back and forth freely, and comparing reality with reality. Make good use of the lying peak and flank, with the strangeness in Mi Fei, the lion catches the image of Dacheng, which is exquisite and elegant, solemn and simple. For example, the basic stroke lines in his representative calligraphy works Fu and Tie Gu Li Shu are vivid and wonderful images like natural objects: "One" is like a thousand miles of clouds, but it is tangible; "Hey" is like a peak falling stone, but it is like a collapse; Hey is like a rhinoceros. "Hey" is like a dead vine. "B" is facing the collapse of waves and thunder. Hengjiangzhu is like a lonely boat; A valley as cold as mushrooms after rain. His calligraphy works are vigorous and full of tension; Positive and dynamic; Magnificent, magnificent. This line with texture and image symbolizes strength and potential, corresponds to human emotions, and has a tacit understanding with human aesthetic emotions, so it has a strong expressive force.

Learn from nature and ask the truth.

Quiet and far-reaching, indifferent to fame and fortune, unrestrained and heroic are the artistic characteristics of Baoe Chen's calligraphy art. In his calligraphy creation, he holds a pen and thinks quietly, then with a wave of his hand, he is persistent in one go. When the outside is quiet and the inside is strong, the big taste will be weak. Baoe Chen understood the way of calligraphy from the perspective of traditional calligraphy art and psychology. His unique life experience and life experience are isomorphic with the connotation of nature and traditional culture. In the process of calligraphy creation, he naturally expressed it in a prescribed style with different styles, which made it have a specific symbolic meaning and correspond to his emotional style: the structure is round like seal cutting, flying like grass, dangerous like eight points, graceful like flying white, standing like a crane's head, and melancholy like ancient plum. However, the heart is curved and every word has its own shape. Wonderful, and the book is finished. Thus, it has formed its own unique aesthetic image of calligraphy art, interwoven into an ethereal aesthetic artistic conception, and brought ancient and lofty artistic beauty. Drawing lessons from the ancients, combining with the national cultural soil of calligraphy, using calligraphy to express the formal beauty of lines and ink images, and drawing spiritual nutrition from the Four Books and Five Classics, China's calligraphy art has been realized, and his own artistic rules have been formed in the form of expression: paying attention to starting a pen, writing and closing a pen, hiding and showing, going forward and backward, lifting and pressing, folding and folding, square and round. In the structure of calligraphy, we pay attention to the center of gravity, individuality and individuality, length, big and small, small and big, high and low, right and strange, sparse and dense, broken and connected. In terms of composition, the charm runs through and stretches horizontally, and it is patchy and harmonious with the whole, knowing white and keeping black. His calligraphy seems to be impossible, but in fact there are laws. His calligraphy is about law and impossibility, law and reason, law and meaning, law and Tao, black and white, etc. The stillness of black image and the movement of Taoist image, calligraphy and avenue all embody the unity of opposites of Yin and Yang, the realm of carrying Tao and Classics, and the Tao of calligraphy itself. He unified the elements such as glyphs and lines of calligraphy expression language, and formed a vivid and changeable artistic system different from calligraphers in history. His calligraphy line is a straight and curved wavy curve-serpentine line. Just like the "snake line", it is flexible and vivid, winding in different directions at the same time, which can not only satisfy the eyes, but also guide them to pursue their infinite diversity ... Because this line has so many different turns, although it is a line, it contains various contents. With the help of imagination, people can understand the broad and generalized significance of social life, rather than the formal beauty for the sake of formal beauty, which is the characteristic of the formal beauty of Baoe Chen's calligraphy art. Calligraphy is colorful. He has a clear understanding of the nature of man and nature. He selected, summarized, processed and evaluated the essence of real life, and then unified it into the grasp and reflection of rich forms. Therefore, his calligraphy works contain lofty thoughts, feelings and ideals. He keeps pace with the times in thoughts, feelings and ideals, faithfully reflects the spirit of the times, and expresses the great realm of harmonious thoughts, feelings and aesthetic ideals of being kind to others and integrating heaven and man. His understanding of traditional culture, such as Taoism, the law of the occurrence, development and change of all things in the universe-Tao; Confucian understanding of interpersonal relationships that people must follow in the process of life behavior; Especially Buddhism and Zen have a thorough understanding of the meaning and realm of life. Therefore, his calligraphy art shows the natural way of life. Whether it is creation or appreciation, people can understand the realm and ultimate goal of life artistically from drawing lessons from their own life forms. By studying Zhouyi, he realized the way of calligraphy from the ancient oriental philosophy and embodied the great wisdom of all ethnic groups in the ancient oriental civilization. In his calligraphy creation, he embodies the diversity and complementarity of oriental human beings, their adherence to Taoist world outlook, outlook on life and way of thinking, their respect for Taoism and their concern for humanity and life. His calligraphy art is deeply nourished by ancient oriental philosophy, and the symbols of pen and ink and their meanings of law, reason, emotion and meaning are interlinked with Taoist thought. It combines the strengths of ancient calligraphy masters such as Jin Yun, Tang Fa, Yi Song, Zi Ming and Qing Guo, and reaches all levels of calligraphy and Taoism from different directions, expressing his different understanding of Buddhism and Confucianism and Taoism. Therefore, his calligraphy works are rich and colorful, deeply loved by calligraphy lovers and collectors, and become contemporary.

Calligraphy, love, and words carry the Tao.

Baoe Chen got rid of the practical and utilitarian purpose of calligraphy creation, took care of the perceptual form of objective things, and produced the aesthetic experience of calligraphy creation, and integrated this aesthetic feeling with the content of truth, goodness and beauty, which was no longer just the aesthetic feeling of form, but infiltrated into the content of truth, goodness and beauty and aesthetic care. He unified calligraphy creation with rational emotion and moral emotion in aesthetic emotion. Let your calligraphy creation experience from perceptual form to a certain realm related to human life freedom, and finally get aesthetic emotional experience, and achieve a high degree of tacit understanding from the heart: God, rhyme, bone, muscle and blood are all integrated into your calligraphy creation, with both form and spirit, heart and hands are affectionate, and books are not illusory. With emotion as the intermediary, he summarized the substance of life into an artistic image through the performance activities of calligraphy lines, and then took emotion as the driving force to agitate the artistic language and make the brushwork smooth. For example, his calligraphy work "Reading thousands of books and Writing with Spirit" is his unique artistic expression of his self-cultivation, aesthetic ideal, experience and creative background. In addition, through the beautiful combination of line thickness and dry and wet shades, he fully expressed his unique experience of social life formed in social practice, so the emotions contained in his works are also rich and colorful, with strong personality, which makes his works both physical and mental and fascinating. Baoe Chen's calligraphy art takes characters as the carrier, and expresses his feelings with the help of glyphs and word meanings, which is what makes him unique. The content of Baoe Chen's calligraphy fully embodies his emotional connotation and spiritual tone. The emotional content of his calligraphy works also laid the foundation of his aesthetic content. He himself is a journalist. Because of his familiarity and sensitivity to the content of the text, his emotional expression is more free, and his books, feelings and articles are integrated into one. For example, the cursive script "Looking down on a thousand fingers and bowing down as a willing ox" is awe-inspiring, and its book "Plum blossoms fly on the piano with snow, willow smoke into wine" is as beautiful as the middle reaches, obviously with the quiet, distant and ethereal life breath of literati, which makes readers deeply immersed in the artistic conception of harmony between man and nature. The strong feeling of the beauty of life leads to further concern and thinking about the subject of life, and it also shows a certain degree of detachment when it hurts life; There are several kinds of "joy without lewdness, sorrow without injury", a feeling of being born, long and dull. Through his calligraphy, we can see that his spiritual world is: standing between heaven and earth, writing the word "person" with "heart". Calligraphy, humanity and avenue are essentially interlinked. Baoe Chen's calligraphy creation strives to be connected with the main road, and is not confused with matter, reason, righteousness and mind. Learn from nature, Lotte know life. Taoist quietism, homogeneity of things, mortal life; The enterprising life of Confucianism emphasizes benevolence and propriety; Buddhism's four things are empty, six things are static, the outer glue is untied and the hue is released, which all have a positive impact on his calligraphy creation. He learned spiritual nutrition from it, and finally made his art reach the transcendence spirit of human nature. Calligraphy creation lies in harmony with the natural way of heaven and earth. He who reaches heaven, earth and people reaches the Tao, and he who reaches the book reaches the Tao. Book and Tao interact, from book to Tao, from Tao to book. Comprehensive cultivation and deep emotional background make it possible for him to express his feelings with his own artistic skills in a wider range, while the freedom and richness of writing and expressing feelings, as well as the touch of emotions, can freely and profoundly understand Tao, and speak and carry it. As Liu Qingxi said in The Outline of Books: "Calligraphy is connected with learning immortals, refining qi is the top, refining spirit is the bottom, and refining shape is the top."

Extensive calligraphy, good at cursive script.

Baoe Chen's calligraphy creation has a wide range of themes, and his calligraphy style is unique and expressive: his calligraphy style is vigorous and vigorous, and he is called a rookie with "profound skill and unlimited potential" by industry authorities. The seal script is still fluent, the official wants precision, the grass is expensive and smooth, and the chapter affairs are easy to check. Then, the wind, warm and humid, drum, dry and elegant, so it can reach its affection and form its sadness and joy. Seal script is implicit, official script is vigorous, Cao Zhang is thick, cursive script is conspicuous, regular script is regular, and running script is fluent. He has a special liking for cursive script, especially cursive script, which can show his simple and generous personality. He was invited to participate in all kinds of brushwork all over the country, and he used all kinds of brushwork comprehensively and freely. The lines are "not square and not round", shaped like dragons and snakes, broken and connected, varied and absurd. Structurally, "losing grass, advocating simplicity", more freely breaking through the space setting of the glyph, "sparse can ride a horse, airtight", criss-crossing. In terms of composition, the scheme is black characters on white background. The ink color is changeable, the image is fantastic and smart, the charm is coherent and the spirit is uplifting. Emotional expression, incisively and vividly-"What is touched in the heart must be cursive ... The change of heaven and earth is gratifying, and it is in the book." Change is still a ghost, you can't tell. They are calm and happy. They have not overstepped the boundaries they want and achieved great freedom. This fully reflects its changes to the avenue. Every time he wants to write, he will let go of his arms and let his feelings follow his inclinations, and then he will write. When he wants a book, he likes to play some Buddhist music to adjust his mind and relax his mind. He is completely in a state of super-utilitarian and surreal emptiness, and enters a state of quiet and ethereal mind of "doing nothing and doing nothing", and then he no longer cares about concentration and has a healthy and harmonious heart. The works created in this way are often excellent, and everything is rare.

His calligraphy works are not only thoughtful masterpieces, but also improvisational and passionate creations. His calligraphy styles are mostly Oracle Bone Inscriptions and cursive. He relies on intuition and inspiration in his creation, with great emotional intensity and tension, little fetters of acceptance, natural venting, sincere feelings and ups and downs. For example, the list of books "Yuan" and the cursive script "Reading thousands of books, writing like a god" are just excited and intoxicated by this passion. He was inspired without water or wine. In calligraphy, his strokes are bold and unrestrained, vigorous and powerful, and there is indeed a leap forward. The last vertical of the word "Buddha" runs through the pen with thirst. When you meet someone, you will have the ethereal realm of Buddhism and Zen. The aesthetic feeling is more sublime and subtle, and the artistic conception is deeper. You can also see its emotional changes and performance characteristics. All these magical effects are due to their unique personality spirit and strong artistic skills, which naturally burst out in a specific emotional atmosphere. Its ink image is as beautiful and wonderful as that of the soul, and it can only be understood. Calligraphy art is a bridge and a thoroughfare for human beings to realize themselves and transcend Tao. Baoe Chen's calligraphy art form is simple, and one stroke, one ink, one paper and one inkstone can be written. The essence is reasonable and profound, so it is loved by collectors. This consistency is based on the admiration of Buddhism and Zen and the pursuit of the highest realm of Tao, that is, the highest realm of art, and also the highest realm of his human self-realization. The trinity of man, book and avenue is his writing style. Doing nothing without doing anything is advanced in natural art. He is in harmony with heaven and earth, with the sun and the moon, with the four seasons and with ghosts and gods. Be calm and happy, do what you want from the heart, do what you want, and do nothing. The beauty is whether you have it or not. We firmly believe that Baoe Chen, a late bloomer, will make greater contributions to China's calligraphy art.
