Hu Junfeng, Ye Jun? -Contemporary China's left-handed calligraphy is among the best. For more than 20 years, all the famous teachers who have seen his works have been surprised by his achievements in Zuo Shu. Hundreds of unforgettable signs, couplets and several gold medals on his theme are examples of his leader's coquettish art in contemporary Zuo Shu.
Practice a solid foundation of Qi, Xing, Cao, Feng, Wei and Li. Hu Junfeng started school at the age of seven and practiced regular script under the strict training of the calligraphy teacher. When he graduated from primary school, he was able to write couplets for families. After that, it made rapid progress, and the frame structure of each stroke of regular script was printed in the mind without any mistakes. As soon as the pen is put down, the shape of the words is as magnificent as a musical instrument team. In a few years, he worshiped famous teachers, stepped onto the stage of walking and sketching, and practiced various calligraphy styles such as seal, Wei and Li, which laid a broad foundation for later building a grand pyramid of art. Because of the profound skill and skillful skill of the right-handed calligraphy art, when it is inadvertently transformed into the left-handed brushwork, it creates a strange and beautiful, clumsy and handsome, alternative and decent, changeable and comfortable, novel but not artificial, avant-garde and not sensational art almost overnight. This kind of calligraphy is unique in China. It originates from and matures in its own right-handed calligraphy art, but it surpasses and differs from right-handed calligraphy in style and characteristics, so it is more innovative, artistic, ornamental and collectible, and contains endless aesthetic value.
Create an artistic style that is silly, clumsy, silly, clever, elegant and beautiful. More than 20 years ago, when people paid tribute to Hu Junfeng's inscription on the signboard of Longjing Tea Garden, the font was simple and vicissitudes, fresh and beautiful, and the book list was his strongest strength, a calligraphy expert at that time suggested that it would be better if he could incorporate clumsy and stupid artistic elements. On a whim, Hu Junfeng first proposed to try to write with his left hand.
The first time I held my breath and splashed ink, Longjing Tea Garden was unanimously recognized by me with a wave of my hand and passed in an exclamation. When he pondered this painting by Zuo Shu, his heart suddenly opened and a unique new scene of the hole in the sky appeared in front of him. I didn't expect his left book to have such magical power. His right hand was out of his control, but his left hand was a stroke-clumsy, clumsy and stupid. Since then, he has been focusing on the development, improvement and innovation of left-handed calligraphy, repeatedly studying the length and thickness of each Chinese character, the shade of pen and ink, the cadence of brushwork, and the structure of density, so that each Chinese character has at least four different ways of writing, reaching the state that the word enters the heart first and the ink enters the paper first, and becoming an extraordinary and unconstrained master of Zuo Shu. On the other hand, it is amazing that Hu Junfeng's Zuo Shu's natural and interesting pursuit of genius, no matter how strange and unpredictable, still maintains a smart, elegant and beautiful artistic style, that is, there is cleverness in stupidity, elegance in stupidity and beauty in stupidity. The artistic beauty and skills of the two are in perfect harmony, relying on each other and possessing souls, avoiding the similarity with any right-handed calligrapher. What benefited him a lot was that under the unified organization of the Calligraphy Association, he took his camera and luggage and traveled all over the provinces, cities and autonomous regions except Xinjiang and Tibet, visited famous teachers, visited famous monuments, beautiful plaques and wonderful couplets, and took countless photos for comparative study. He has more opportunities to overlook the evolution and characteristics of calligraphy art since Cangjie created characters, and to cast various essences for himself.
Throughout Hu Junfeng's "Zuo Shu", it is worthy of the name "listen to its voice, understand its meaning, show its perfect shape, endless changes, pleasing to the eye and lasting forever". People should be ordinary and their words should be unique, which is his motto for being a man and calligraphy. May he water more fragrant and magnificent flowers with painstaking efforts and sweat in the big garden of calligraphy art in China!
