Approaching the Prose of Zibo Painter Sun Lijun

Knowing the teacher benefited from the recommendation of Xu, a calligraphy calligrapher. When I first saw his paintings, I was attracted by his elegant style, noble meaning, delicate feelings, implicit simplicity and rich fashion atmosphere. Seeing her again, I admire her modesty, simplicity, profound knowledge and outstanding talent.

According to the interview, Sun Lijun, 1970, is from Boshan District, Zibo City, Shandong Province. She has been smart and studious since she was a child. Since she was a teenager, she has been determined to be a female painter, paying tribute to life, serving the public and spreading culture. After graduating from high school, he was assigned to work in Boshan Ceramics Factory. After intense work, he still can't give up his hobby of painting. He has always been obsessed with writing and painting, and won many awards in the painting and calligraphy competition organized by his unit. Later, in order to learn from others and master more painting techniques, she studied in 1996 Chinese Academy of Fine Arts. Under the teacher's careful guidance, she studied classicism, realized modernity, concentrated on research and integrated with each other, which gradually broadened her horizons and made a qualitative leap in her painting level.

On weekdays, after work, Sun Lijun pays attention to experience and observe life with a serious attitude, and captures the beauty of moments to express his artistic views and painting forms. She is not limited to mastering painting skills, but pays more attention to the characteristics of painting language, covering more artistic and life-oriented emotions and verve. These paintings are full of the artist's sincerity and truth. The ladylike temperament in her works is extraordinary, elegant and dignified, either meditating or smiling ... all sink into the fish and fall into the geese. The four gentlemen she created, Mei Lan and Zhu Ju, are rigorous, bold and unconstrained, exquisite and wonderful. In addition, she has a profound life, is diligent in thinking, is quick in action, learns from others, is good at making choices, and has the courage to create. She is a painter, and her composition of flowers and birds is bright, vigorous, vulgar and concise. Regardless of the size, from small to large, magnificent, poetry, calligraphy and painting, mutual growth. It is particularly worth mentioning that Sun Lijun attaches great importance to color contrast, thus highlighting the strong natural color effect, which makes people unforgettable and thoughtful. Her meticulous painting emphasizes the artistic conception of the picture. In the creative process of each work, she took pains to depict the complicated details, and properly used the special techniques of texture to bring about the whole body through the thinking of intentional writing, so that its part and the whole, point and surface were integrated, so as to achieve a full and heavy picture with a touch of freshness, making the picture of the work more artistic.

In the interview, Sun Lijun told the author that among all the painting themes, she especially likes the creation of peony. The peonies in her works are proud but not charming, exquisite but not kitsch, atmospheric but not ostentatious. As we all know, most peonies painted by ancient and modern painters are famous for their softness, which is understandable for the artistic language of peony, which is famous for its "national beauty and fragrance". But as the national flower, it embodies the complex and national spirit of China people. Of course, it is important to show its charming and rich side, which is the most colorful side of the flower. Have experienced poverty, and still "pregnant with vitality" when the earth is frozen, isn't it the indomitable spirit of the Chinese nation? Therefore, this kind of spirit should be shown and can never be ignored. In Sun Lijun's pen, this spirit has been vividly demonstrated! She not only shows the bright and charming side of peony with colorful flower heads, but also vividly shows the vigorous branches, flower heads and leaves swaying with the wind on paper with chic brushstrokes, which combines femininity and masculinity in one furnace and objectively shows the perfect artistic image of peony as "the most spectacular fragrant country"! This is her pen and ink language! Her profound understanding of the spiritual connotation of peony, as well as her passionate brushwork and unique pen and ink, have brought the viewer into an almost perfect realm! Her works, such as Great Fu Guitu and beautiful countryside, are full of flowers and distinct layers; Stamens are in full bloom and full of vitality; The leaf texture is fine and dense; The vigorous branches, vigorous and powerful, ingenious picture layout, superb brushwork, simplicity and appropriateness, suitable shade, one flower and one bud, one branch and one leaf, all integrate the painter's own rich emotions and unique aesthetic thinking.

Art is endless. Sun Lijun was engaged in the creation of traditional Chinese painting, and at the age of 30, he extended his artistic tentacles to ceramic painting. As we all know, ceramic painting is a relatively new kind of craft painting in today's society. As the name implies, it is a kind of ceramic painting with ceramics as the carrier. The painted ceramics are put into a kiln and fired at high temperature to form a craft ceramic painting. In the creation of ceramic painting, Sun Lijun attached great importance to expressing his emotions with colors and attaching importance to the appeal of colors to people's emotions. Therefore, he is not limited to the natural color of the object, but subjectively designs and creates colors according to the needs of the theme. From conception, composition, meticulous brushwork, ink, and even details, we are very particular about it and ponder it carefully. Therefore, her ceramic paintings are original, extraordinary, ingenious and exquisite, and each one is a masterpiece. She said that works of art should not only conquer their own hearts, but also conquer the aesthetics of others and stand the test of time.

Over the years, Sun Lijun's efforts have finally been fully reported, and her works have won many awards in provincial and municipal art exhibitions. Among them, Cui Yu Sheng Hui won the Silver Award in the 41st Shandong Ceramic Art Innovation Appraisal. The work "Peony Golden Rooster" won the Silver Award at Zibo Art Fair. Many works, such as the picture of Zhao Jun on the top, the picture of famous tea, the picture of beautiful scenery and the picture of happy eyebrows, have won prizes in provincial and municipal exhibitions, and some of them have also been collected by the National Painting and Calligraphy Institute, Ceramic Research Institute, Cultural Exhibition Hall and overseas friends. In 20 14, Sun Lijun was rated as the most promising painter, signed as a full-time painter by Changyige Art Museum, and was interviewed by Shandong TV Station and Zibo TV Station.

Facing the achievements, Sun Lijun, a director of China Artists Association, a member of China Arts and Crafts Association, a member of Shandong Ceramics Association, a Shandong arts and crafts artist, the president of the Painting and Calligraphy Institute of Shandong Economic Development Zone, a member of Zibo Artists Association and a member of Boshan Artists Association, has always kept a clear head. She told the author earnestly that as a professional painter, I want to use my brush to serve the public to spread culture, so that calligraphy and painting can really enter thousands of households and enrich people's amateur culture.
