Until 197 1, when 17-year-old Ren Xuezhi stepped into the school gate of Yuanyang No.4 Middle School, the meticulous ink portraits of great men inside and outside the campus deeply touched his soul: if only there could be such a teacher who could draw!
Fortunately, Ren Xuezhi really got his wish. His head teacher is Mr. Wang, who paints ink figure paintings inside and outside the school.
In Ren Xuezhi's mind, Wang is undoubtedly an omnipotent teacher: he was a graduate student in the Department of Atomic Physics in the 1950s. Not only did he teach mathematics and physics well, but he was also proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and even a tailor and carpenter, especially in Yuanyang at that time.
Perhaps it is Einstein's famous saying that hobbies are the best teachers. More importantly, he has his favorite teacher, Wang, as the head teacher. Since then, Ren Xuezhi has developed a strong interest in the art of calligraphy and painting. After more than 30 years, whether rural teachers or working in coal mines, cold comes and summer goes, never stopping, thus laying a solid foundation for today's painting and calligraphy art.
He deeply read Wang Xizhi's Seventeen Posts. I especially like Zhao Mengfu's "Red Cliff Fu" (running script), and I have pondered over Yan Zhenqing's standard regular script for a long time. I can't put it down for Zhang Xu's Abdominal Pain Sticker, and I am vigorous and free and easy for Rainbow Tudor's cursive script.
Calligraphy and painting have been inseparable since ancient times.
199 1 year, Ren Xuezhi was lucky enough to learn flower and bird painting from Professor Hu Zhongyuan, a famous "leader painter", who enjoyed the special allowance of the State Council for life. Under the encouragement and guidance of Professor Hu Zhongyuan, Ren Xuezhi's freehand flower-and-bird painting has made great progress. His works are fresh in conception, beautiful in color but not brilliant, calm and dripping, novel in composition and full of strong flavor of the times. In recent years, Ren Xuezhi also specializes in freehand brushwork peony, and studied under the famous meticulous painter Wang Hongli. His painting style is beautiful, lively, natural and unique. Creation is good at absorbing the strengths of various schools, innovating on the basis of inheriting tradition, with a wide range of themes and concise composition. It has the characteristics of Gu Zhuo's simplicity, stable and vigorous color, simple and natural ink color, free and unrestrained brushwork, pleasant temperament, longing for light, full of natural charm and exquisite and delicate.
Ren Xuezhi's paintings and calligraphy works have not only been published in newspapers and periodicals inside and outside the province for many times and won awards, but also collected by overseas collectors.
1982 In March, Xiao Chun won the first prize of the Youth Art Exhibition. In 1984, he presided over the painting exhibition hall in Zhang Haidi, and more than 70% of the scrolls were taught by himself. 1June, 986, Meihuatu won the prize and was published in Miners Daily. In 2008, when Ice Across the Taiwan Strait was published, many of his works were also treasured by friends at home and abroad, such as the United States, France, South Korea, Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong and Taiwan Province Province.
When commenting on Ren Xuezhi's works, Professor Wang Hongli pointed out: Ren Xuezhi's calligraphy is pointed out by everyone, and his calligraphy skills are becoming more and more proficient. His works are both rigid and flexible, rigorous and charming. Magnificent, simple and natural, smooth brushwork, clear and bright trajectory, heavy and very calm pen and ink, independent and coherent structure, very able to express the meaning of words. The composition and layout are stable, and luck runs through them in one go. His works are quite Wang Duo style, cursive atmosphere, vigorous and powerful, free and easy, dripping with fun. It contains originality and profound foundation, "every word flies and the painting turns wonderfully, just like a god".
