It is a pity that Jia Peng left Jinan for nearly ten years. His selfless dedication, serious dedication and personality of not seeking fame and fortune have been highlighted in the practice of Calligraphy Art Newspaper. People know in their hearts that Jia Peng can actually take the Shandong seal altar to a higher level under the leadership of Shandong Book Association, and his affinity and cohesion have long been well-known. What is even more admirable is that he is knowledgeable, knowledgeable and has a deep background. "Wang Lun love constant ancient and modern, why busy for official. Our generation is full of swords, and Qingtian has three cars to keep children and grandchildren. " This kind of free and easy is only caused by study. The best way for artists is to speak with their works, and no one can stop them. In recent years, businessmen from Taiwan Province Province, Hongkong, Japan, South Korea and other places have ordered his paintings and seals, which is the best example.
Jia Peng advocated that "artists should be literate and knowledgeable", "seal engravers should first be proficient in ancient Chinese characters, otherwise it would be unimaginable" and "artists should rely on knowledge to cultivate their skills, which are rich in connotation and constantly innovative". Because of this, many famous painters and scholars at home and abroad read, ask for and use their seals. Jia Peng is versatile, but he never shows off. His paintings, calligraphy and poems are all scholar-like, ancient, modern and strange, which is pleasing to the eye. "Since ancient times, marbles have been divided into different parts, and hyphenation has been explored. If you want to find true bones, you can rely on Shen. "
Jia was born in 2000. There is no doubt that he is a great master of seal cutting in China today. His present value is the spring breeze, and he will do something in the future.

Strong and upright Yu Bo —— Mr. Jia Peng's seal cutting calligraphy and painting art (Xu Encun)
(Excerpted from China Fine Arts, No.3, 2008)
As a powerful seal engraver, calligrapher and painter, Mr. Jia Peng is a diligent artist.
Mr. Jia Peng's artistic development is remarkable, and he always insists on amateur creation; Insist on entertaining yourself; Adhere to the artistic road of "everything can be lost, never lose yourself".
He is an honest man, so his art is gloomy and dignified, which also contains his own unique vicissitudes and silence.
First of all, men and Jun Qing Indian style.
It is becoming more and more clear that Mr. Jia Peng follows art with his true nature and writes his works with the truth of life, transforming the detachment and dullness of his mind into the rigor and steadiness of his artistic style. The unity of personality and artistic products is the characteristic of Mr. Jia Peng's artistic course. In the course of Mr. Jia Peng's life, perhaps it was the injustice and ridicule of fate that made him always magnanimous and inadvertently suffered the injustice of 10 years. In the experience of several generations, his only gain is to temper his spirit and will and analyze and treat the world with a calm mind. "Life is half a Weng, and the spoon is borrowed as a book. There are many things in the world, so it is difficult to be surprised. " When he finally washed away his grievances, his printing style changed from sharp-edged to simple and mature, which contained the broad detachment of "a fishing flute in the blue waves", and his works increasingly reflected the characteristics of "Jia-style printing", carved like a heart. Formed an artistic style of "unique seal cutting, refined knife cutting, elegant composition, natural simplicity and vivid expression". "(Liu Jiang, Yu)
Mr. Jia Peng studied under the famous teacher Mr. Jiang Weisong in his early years and was personally taught by him. His seal cutting laid the foundation of ancient philology and epigraphy with his wisdom and insight. At the same time, his various literary attainments have enabled Mr. Jia Peng to establish his own aesthetic ideal and pursuit in art. While maintaining the scholar spirit and true colors, he conveyed a sober and calm character of "new, refined and thick" in this process.
"Yi Shao Zhai" is the name of Mr. Jia Peng. Although a spoonful is small, there is an infinite temple, which is quite a bit of Zen mystery. After several years of hard work and practice, Mr. Jia Peng has developed a rigorous and meticulous way of studying, and found his own position and direction by observing the style, genre, experience, gains and losses of Indian ancient and modern history. "Since ancient times marbles, hyphenation. If you want to find true bones, you must rely on Shen. " As early as more than ten years ago, he took a unique step in Qilu printing field with his concise and bright composition, unfamiliar layout of knives, smart and quick, elegant and exquisite style, which brought a fresh wind to Shandong printing industry at that time. His works have their own merits in ancient times and today, and finally formed a "Jia Zhuan Style" which is smart, natural and fresh, has both traditional context and modern charm, and is both restrained and solemn. As his poem wrote, "Hold a quiet place, learn to seal and study it carefully." Go back to nature and let nature take its course. "He is a scholar at home and abroad, and there are many masters of painting and calligraphy. Among them, Zhao Puchu, Ouyang, Huang Qi, Ji Xianlin and other seals were all made by Mr. Jia Peng. Without the understanding, cognition and grasp of thousands of years of cultural traditions and spirits, as well as the spiritual inheritance of predecessors, it is difficult to reach such an artistic height.
The height of art is also the height of spirit.
Reading Mr. Jia Peng's seal cutting is a kind of enjoyment and satisfaction, and we have to be impressed by his ideal pursuit of independence. The printing style of publishing stone is refreshing, simple, simple, full of breath, calm and natural, and it is not urgent or dry, which makes us appreciate the quality of life spirit. The same is true of "Rome was not built in a day". The "newness" of his printing style lies in his clever choice of words, novel use of words, coordination of seal characters, mastery of the changing law and essence of words and flexible application. In the composition layout, he pays attention to the echo of the top, bottom, left and right, and emphasizes the unity of asymmetry in the form structure, all of which have achieved a complete aesthetic feeling in a unique and ingenious way. The "essence" of his seal style is manifested in his profound understanding of seal cutting aesthetics, his careful selection of ancient sages and sages, the precision and delicacy of knife cutting, the artistic texture and aesthetic feeling of the lines of knife and brush concentrated between square inches, and his grasp of the printed form, which embodies the pursuit of multilateral structure and the charm of changeable space division in seal cutting. If the knife is like a pen, the thread knife is extremely sharp, and the measure is just right. The truth and simplicity in the printing form a unity in the jagged and scattered, which makes Mr. Jia Peng's seal cutting create momentum for the article, seek shape for the article, use shape for the article, and keep smart and dynamic by taking advantage of the situation; The "thickness" of its printing style is a kind of introverted, implicit and accumulated "thickness", which stems from the seal engraver's knowledge and artistic grasp ability of "entering the country with art" We can see that the lines reflect the sense of output and weight in ups and downs and twists and turns. In Mr. Jia Peng's works, there is an elegant style and a quaint atmosphere, which makes the overall style of "Jia Zhuan" full of vitality and vivid charm.
Ancient philosophers have a saying: "The deeper you learn from it, the higher your own creation will be." During his seal cutting career, Mr. Jia Peng not only received the guidance of his former mentor, Mr. Jiang Weisong, but also carefully studied and absorbed the methods and experiences of Wu Rangzhi, Huang Mufu, Wu Changshuo and Qi Baishi, especially Huang Mufu's seal cutting style and its spiritual application of sharp knives, as well as its goodness in sharpness, edge and back. The presentation of personal spirit and style between statutes and freedom has benefited him a lot, and his works have gradually formed a refined and gentle expression and artistic characteristics with ancient meaning and elegance with statutes.
Mr. Jia Peng has accumulated long-term artistic practical experience, identified and compared the differences of seal styles between ancient and modern times, and devoted himself to studying the knife theory of Ming and Qing dynasties. As early as the early 1990s, he put forward his personal opinion: the three elements of ancient seal cutting techniques, namely, chapter method, knife method and seal cutting method, and today's seal cutting method (word method), knife method and chapter method may be more appropriate. During this period, we found that they all explained because of the different order. In Mr. Jia Peng's view, good seal cutting must first rely on seal cutting methods, break the routine and rules, be unconventional, and realize the impossibility and innovation in the law; Secondly, it depends on the rhythm, rhythm and strength of the knife method to express the spirit of the text. The saber is indifferent and generous, the saber is spiritual, and the spirit is transformed into the change of the saber, which makes us reach the height of forgetting ourselves and going straight into the realm. Finally, we can use composition to create charm and formal meaning. The carving knife he used is about 15 cm long and about 1 cm wide, ranging from a giant seal as large as 10 cm to a small chapter as small as 5 mm, all of which are one knife; Every time you hold the stone in your hand, the knife is like a pen, and the knife and thread are made by your heart. The rhythm is smooth, the layout and configuration of imbalance, dislocation, vanity, simplicity and simplicity are considerate, and the printing style is unique, which embodies Mr. Jia Peng's unique artistic style-"Dongpo Cloud: Innovating Laws, Boldly Giving Wonderful Thoughts". (Shen) It can be said that it hit the nail on the head and scored three points!
Second, people and the spirit of calligraphy and painting
Mr Jia Peng has experienced ups and downs in his life. 10 years, he had to leave Jinan, the spring city where Sri Lanka was born and raised, to make a living in other places. As far as I know, it was the loss of his teacher's seal that led to his misunderstanding. /kloc-for 0/0 years, he didn't defend his teacher, but he kept silent and firmly believed in his innocence, which made him unable to give up his adherence to art after years of humiliation. On a Sunday morning in the midsummer of 200 1, a professor from Shandong University came to Mr. Jia Peng's house to tell him and his lover a late but long-awaited news: "Mr. Jia, I have good news for you. An old gentleman from Shandong University found Mr. Jiang's lost seal. Don't ask him who he is. It's out now anyway. However, Lao Jiang repeatedly urged: This matter has passed, so don't talk about it! Don't say it again! " When the truth finally came out, he was still the same. Whenever I recall this incident, Mr. Jia Peng is full of gratitude to the professor!
In fact, people who are familiar with him know that he is honest, stable and frank, which are all reflected in his calligraphy and painting. Mr Jia Peng is good at seal script. He calmly and naturally went straight to the source of seal script, instead of taking shortcuts to Li in the Tang Dynasty, Deng in the Qing Dynasty, he pursued the inscriptions of Shang and Zhou Dynasties, trying to avoid the stagnation and rigidity of previous inscriptions. It avoids the excessive affectation and difficulty of shaking and dead pens carved by predecessors. I tried to avoid the indulgence of cursive writing and the madness of lines. Therefore, in Mr. Jia Peng's seal script, we should pay attention to the warmth of pen and ink, the sublimity of pen meaning and the control of tepid, give full play to the characteristics and tension of pen and ink, pay attention to the freshness of pen and the subtle changes of lines, change the pen and ink characteristics and aesthetic stereotypes of stone carving, and give full play to its advantages and functions based on "writing".
His oracle calligraphy is also innovative, with a pen like a knife, sharp pen tip, fine stippling and simple structure, which fully shows the characteristics of writing with ink, giving people the feeling that "the dead wood meets the spring" and "the cypress gives birth to new buds". In his calligraphy works, the arrangement of glyphs is structural and artistic. In composition and brushwork, its simplicity contains antique, vivid and interesting. It is not only ancient, but also full of modern elegance. Moreover, it strives for consistent composition, so that every word is well-founded, and it also reflects its own unique understanding and creativity. Therefore, Mr. Jia Peng's calligraphy art is characterized by seal script and Oracle Bone Inscriptions, expressing his heartfelt feelings, and properly summing up and grasping the characteristics of "Oracle bone in the corner and bronze inscription in the radian", which not only has a heavy, gloomy and quiet sense of majesty in ancient inscriptions, but also is clear, smooth and steady, full of energy and self-contained, showing its unique cultural charm and charm. A Japanese art dealer bought Mr. Jia Peng's 6-foot and 8-foot hand scrolls for 40,000 yuan and 60,000 yuan; 50 thousand yuan to buy two seals.
Mr. Jia Peng's paintings are completely written with the mind of a book, and they are easy to follow, with natural strokes and random ink colors. Poems, books, paintings and seals echo each other intentionally or unintentionally, but between a few strokes, dots, lines, ink and colors complement each other, making the picture interesting and full of vitality.
The characters, flowers and birds, landscapes, desk confessions and other themes in the painter's works reflect a personal feeling in the interweaving, arrangement and writing of points, lines, ink and colors, which, like his seal cutting and calligraphy, is an intuitive and vivid expression of perceptual life. Therefore, such works express the realm of "forgetting me" and are the most natural feelings about life.
Mr. Jia Peng's painting and calligraphy art is based on his own feelings, expressing the harmony between the beauty of things and the beauty of lyricism. What is important is that Mr. Jia Peng's paintings and calligraphy are a natural expression of emotion, not a deliberate act. Therefore, his paintings and calligraphy works are moderate, reasonable, non-stimulating and harmonious, based on the heart of heaven and earth, which unifies the beauty of human nature and the beauty of art; The works are peaceful, simple and quiet, and Wen Ya is free and easy and interesting, which embodies the vivid charm and vitality produced by the combination of subject and object. Mr. Jia Peng's Selected Oracle Inscriptions, A Spoon of Poems and Grass, and Jia Peng Fan Sketch will be published soon. Take a sneak peek!
Mr. Jia Peng put it well: "The highest state of artistic life is that one's own works and one's own people can become a long-term topic, which has been concerned by everyone and talked about enough!" Mr. Jia Peng's art is the crystallization of life and artistic tempering. Behind his calm overall demeanor is his reflection and calmness after experiencing humiliation and pain, which makes his art have a higher price, a deeper connotation and more detachment.
It should be said that Mr. Jia Peng's art is forged calmly and calmly, and it is also the crystallization of forgetting humiliation and enduring humiliation. Whenever such art comes, it can stand scrutiny and test.
