Painting comes from writing? Love comes from hometown.
Teacher Shi Jiehong said: "Most of the materials of my works come from sketching-only by sketching in mountains, rivers and scenic spots all over the country for a long time and accumulating a lot of creative materials can we continuously create new works. Material accumulation is a kind of life and emotional experience, which is sublimated through artistic means. Art comes from life and is higher than life: because art itself is the experience of life, aesthetics is the experience of art and the experience of artistic emotion. This sublimation has tempered my mind and pen and ink, so I must go to nature to feel life, experience truth, learn from the ancients and learn from nature in order to get real improvement. " When we walk through the mountains and rivers and appreciate the various tastes of the world, our works will become three-dimensional and vivid.
"Every work of an artist contains the author's painstaking efforts and incorporates the artist's emotions. A good artist must have his own artistic personality and style. Artistic personality is mostly influenced by innate factors such as people's life background, psychological characteristics, physical quality and personality hobbies. The acquired social environment, as well as the influence of living conditions, education level, study and training, and artistic environment, are also important links for artists to form their own artistic personality and create artistic works. The formation of personal artistic style is mainly influenced by the artist's own ideological characteristics and artistic characteristics. A good work of art contains the artist's personal temperament, self-restraint, knowledge, emotion and elegance. "
Teacher Shi Jiehong's black, white and gray ink painting style is the symbol of her unique artistic style, which stems from her memory of her hometown and her unique feelings for ancient houses. She said frankly: "My creative outlook has changed from realism to freehand brushwork, and then my own outlook has been derived, which is closely related to my long-term sketching and life experience. My works reflect my understanding and feelings about life, and convey my responsibility and responsibility to this society, and these spiritual contents also exert a subtle influence on my creation. My hometown is Anhui, but I was born in the Central Plains. The cultural differences and climate differences between the north and the south have a great influence on the painting language I choose and explore. Since I can remember, I have been very interested in this strange building, ancient folk houses, and I have always had a special feeling. In my memory, it was a black, white and gray space. The memory of this blue brick, black tile and white wall seems to be a virtual world, and this world is black, white and gray. It often rains in the south, and it is foggy most of the time. My mood will also be affected, and I will feel a little sad for no reason. This kind of sadness has been lingering in my picture. "
What's in the picture? Holy land in my heart
The accumulation of artistic sketches and the cultivation of artistic personality and style have laid a solid foundation for teacher Shi Jiehong to shape the world of "Sanctuary". Teacher Shi said: "My sketching footprints are all over Shangri-La, Lijiang, Shuhe Ancient Town, Fenghuang Ancient Town, Hongcun, Xidi, Wuyuan, Jiangxi and other places, depicting beautiful mountains and rivers and Lishui, enjoying exotic customs and experiencing the realm of being naked. Everywhere I went, my soul was baptized, and a pure land evolved into the Eden in the artistic ideal. Every time I come back from sketching, I will refine my pen and ink and language, improve it repeatedly, and find my feelings through experiments again and again. Therefore, over the years, I have positioned myself, and my paintings must be named "Sanctuary", because whether it is mountains and rivers, ordinary old houses, temples, or some special buildings abroad, my soul has been baptized again and again, and my creations are shaped according to these "Sanctuary" in my heart. "
"I express my heart with frankness and straightforwardness, and write vertically on the screen, so that the audience can feel the baptism of nature on my mind, including the understanding of snow-capped mountains, grasslands, buildings, temples and monks, and interpret it with the artistic language I have chosen to process, conveying my experience and life feelings of artistic life. As far as the creation of Sanctuary is concerned, I think it includes three aspects: on the one hand, the choice of theme should be "pure". Clean and elegant landscape, like a bottle of good wine that has been fragrant for several years, makes people drunk after smelling it. The memory of this smell is an elegant and quiet ideal environment that my heart yearns for. With this feeling, houses, villas, temples where monks live, or modern and foreign buildings can all become important elements in my creation. "
The so-called "environment is born from the heart", so all our works are based on the heart. Pursuing a carefree, optimistic and carefree life is the idea of people living in such a restless era. Therefore, the creation of the realm of "Sanctuary" is inseparable from the improvement of skills, which is also the second aspect of the creation of "Sanctuary" and the sacredness in skill refining. "Emphasize the independence and perfection of lines in ink painting techniques, and pursue the smoothness and saturation of ink painting. Only by understanding the influence of "painting is influenced by ink, ink is influenced by pen, pen is influenced by wrist, and wrist is influenced by heart" can landscape painting have a level, open and hearty skill. Through the refinement of painting skills, it shows the scene of' Sanctuary' which is beautiful, elegant, clean and beautiful. "
"The third aspect lies in the orientation of mental cultivation. The sanctity of the mind and the purity of the ideal are created according to the boundaries of the sacred realm. In today's society, how to cultivate and temper one's state of mind deserves our consideration. Among them, there is a state of mind first, then there is a situation, and then there is consciousness. This is a progressive relationship. There is also a' spiritual realm', which is the embodiment of the artist's personal atmosphere. Life should create a realm, a spirit and a spiritual realm. In recent years, I have been constantly learning and improving, and I have been constantly demanding myself. No matter what I do, I must have determination, settle down, have wisdom and have my own wisdom. "
Get out of the ink style? Explore new changes
"I have been engaged in ink painting for so many years and have been exploring my own grasp and control of ink painting. The picture has been in a state of black, white and gray, and many people are very sad to see my paintings, so I hope to bring happiness to everyone through more colors. Especially when I saw many colorful buildings abroad, I found that all kinds of colors could appear on the house, and I began to think about how their colors were handled so beautifully and so saturated. So I also hope to enrich my picture with more colors, make my picture three-dimensional and vivid, and let viewers see a kind of sunshine and hope. Most of this innovative picture is in an empty, melting, inclusive and mixed state. This kind of innovation has enabled me to break through the self in the previous inherent thinking mode, subvert the previous imagination space, and let my imagination have wings and leap higher. Under the premise of maintaining style and personality, the artistic level has also been improved. "
"In recent years, I have been thinking, trying to explore the original power that can make my art more magnificent, passionate and explosive, and let my creativity and imagination rush to a broader refuge. As an artist, one should not have a fixed artistic thinking and creative mode. I think art should also keep innovating and discover more and more beautiful things in life. Combine sketch with traditional painting to find new elements in the creation of environment, so as to create new works. Therefore, the starting point of the work now pays more attention to the creation of artistic conception, the purification of the soul, the emotional state and the beautification of the cultural spirit, and at the same time has the spirit of the times. " This is also the best embodiment of teacher Shi Jiehong's seeking Tao innovation.
In terms of artistic conception creation and innovation, the teacher's picture will not only add some modern elements, but also create a sound outside the picture, but few people appear in the picturesque residential picture. Teacher Shi explained: "Most of my works include buildings, houses, trees, bridges and other living things and scenery, including many couplets and door stickers. These things are enough to express that some people here live here, and there are traces that they have lived here for generations, and this trace can be shown without drawing people. This painting is like a painting by Mr. Qi Baishi, and its artistic conception is taken from the poem "Walking on the Moon with Two True Gentlemen" written by the poet Cha in Qing Dynasty. There is a mountain spring flowing out between the two mountains, and there are many tadpoles in the water. You can imagine the frog's voice through the tadpoles. This is the artistic conception of Wei's "painting in poetry, painting in poetry". Chinese painting needs this kind of artistic conception, and creating this kind of voice-over can not only increase the imagination space, but also enrich the meaning of the picture. "
An excellent artist should not only seek art from life and create works with life and soul, but also innovate constantly, keep pace with the times and create works full of humanistic care and significance of the times. Teacher Shi Jiehong followed the road of innovation, shaped the artistic world in her heart, and showed us the profound artistic conception of China's landscape paintings with unique artistic characteristics, at the same time, everyone who entered the "holy land" was baptized by the soul.
