The fence is full of love and the leaves are cold. This sentence by Mr. Qian Liqun is worth pondering in various contexts: "The conclusion of hard work is often two words: passing; The conclusion of interest is often two words: excellent. "
Although the title is a bit old, it can still hit the spiritual point of contemporary calligraphy art creators. In the mental process of establishing one's own pen and ink language to enrich personality, it is inseparable from copying and creation, and it is inseparable from rational thinking on the relationship between them. This is not a unique personal experience, but a similar experience of many calligraphers for thousands of years.
Copying and creation contain the "transformation" of Mr. Li Qitai's calligraphy art, and the relationship between copying and creation should be natural. When the conditions are ripe, things will naturally succeed, otherwise nothing will happen. Because calligraphy creation is an extremely serious matter, it must have a deep foundation accumulation and personal emotional expression. Just copying like the ancients can only show that there are certain basic skills, but if the individual's aesthetics are immature and the individual's artistic thoughts are not formed, then the creation cannot reflect the individual style. " Bold pen and ink feelings are not empty on the wall, and they can never be separated from a solid foundation.
Mr. Li Qitai was born in 1972, and he loved calligraphy since childhood. Along the way, he has been a member of China Couplet Society, a member of China Calligraphy and Painting Collectors Association, and an ink and wash painter, working silently, keeping innocence and seeking a breakthrough. In particular, the powerful time gradually calmed down and melted the block in the chest. After the Chinese New Year quietly became a real time, the pen highlighted the distinct human nature and personality expression.
Because of this, I thought of the ancient sage Wang Xizhi, who was good at grass, lines and patterns, and the foundation of seal script showed clues as early as his works. Yan Zhenqing is good at letters and cursive scripts, but all the comments on him in ancient and modern times praised his rich calligraphy styles. Many great painters and calligraphers in modern times have learned a lot and dabbled in a wide range. For example, Wu Changshuo's poems, paintings and calligraphy are four unique prints, and so is Qi Baishi. Huang is a pioneer of modern landscape painting, and his calligraphy, seal cutting, block writing, line drawing and cursive script are all models of later generations.
I have a great desire to write to keep warm, and echo the passion of history and times through my skin, arousing the general * * * sound of friends next door.
Teacher Li Qitai has a solid foundation in calligraphy and absorbed many traditional things. After years of comprehensive practice, his works have a solid foundation and innovative characteristics. He advocates his own style and is different, which is very valuable. His running script does not pay attention to the strange rise of visual effect at first glance, but tries to imitate the elegant and meaningful spirit, and pursues the principle of "doing whatever you want without exceeding the moment", which is exquisite, clean, crisp and neat, and stretches the words without paying attention to the gains and losses of local details. On the surface, the whole rhythm is calm, but it is true to its words, helping the old and bringing the young.
"Poetry comes from the heart, and the heart is cold." Calligraphy is not like this! When calligraphers are immersed in pen and ink until middle age, they should write their own sense of direction and let pen and ink know everything in their hearts. There is no doubt that Mr. Li Qitai has done this. His enthusiastic cursive brushwork, in the opposite direction of secular life, lingers between ambition and rest, and remains unchanged. The road under your feet is still the road you imagined.
