As the chairman of Changzhou Calligraphers Association, a special painter of Changzhou Painting Academy, and a national senior arts and crafts artist, Mr. Qiu Nong's calligraphy art can not only innovate ancient methods, but also seek charm with statutes. His works have been published and featured in People's Daily, China Calligraphy, Calligraphy and other newspapers for many times. He has been selected for many national major exhibitions and won awards. He has been exhibited in Japan, South Korea, Hongkong, Taiwan Province Province and other countries and regions for many times, and has been collected or commemorated by local governments, museums, universities and memorial halls. His artistic achievements have also been highly praised by critics, who believe that his official script is a combination of simplicity and clever brushwork, and it is easy to write official script without losing the stability of his works, showing a fresh atmosphere; His cursive script is particularly fine, integrated with other people's homes, and has embarked on a road of learning from the past to change and learning from the past to be new.
What impressed me most about Mr. Qiu Nong's writing style was that it was washed and practiced with a pen, and it was dull. So I think "lightness" is Liu Qiunong's pursuit and characteristic. The traditional literati complex is deeply rooted in Liu Qiunong's heart, and the "lightness" shown in his works is not intended to please people, but a normal personal life realm. The lightness of mind is related to the lightness of pen and ink. China culture emphasizes "harmony between man and nature" and "neutralization" for no reason. The beauty of being light is a kind of beauty, which is far-reaching among the people, luxurious in simplicity, not the most gorgeous and eye-catching in beauty, but the most difficult to achieve in beauty. Mei, a poet in the Song Dynasty, said in Reading Shao Poetry: "Poetry has no ancient or modern, only plain and difficult to understand." So is calligraphy and painting! It takes talent and more effort to sweep away greasy powder and learn to wear red and light makeup. The lightness of Mr. Qiu Nong's pen and ink is a natural expression of his peace of mind. He values friendship over fame and fortune, responsibility over merit, and art over money. After retiring from the post of Secretary-General of the Municipal Federation of Literary and Art Circles, over the years, under his auspices, Changzhou Calligraphy Association has been closely United, closely relying on the prime minister and members to actively carry out calligraphy creation activities and education and training. Under the direct leadership of the Municipal Federation of Literary and Art Circles, Changzhou Calligraphy Exhibition was successfully held for the first time in April 2008, and a large collection of works was published. After the Wenchuan earthquake, members were quickly organized to donate money and offer love, and calligraphy exhibitions on earthquake relief were organized to support the disaster-stricken areas.
Mr. Qiu Nong's calm heart is manifested in his painting and calligraphy creation, which is elegant and fresh. His cursive script pays great attention to the rhythm of writing, highlighting the word "potential" in composition structure, layout between words and lines, symmetry and so on. In this way, it seems to be frivolous at will, but in fact it is clumsy and dignified. The unity of opposites between form and God can meet in "potential". His paintings, like his calligraphy, take the lightness of pen and ink as the background, combine calligraphy and painting on the basis of inheriting tradition, and integrate the cultivation of calligraphy into painting, rubbing, lighting and dyeing, so the landscapes, flowers and birds, cordyceps, fruits and vegetables in his paintings are colorful and magnificent.
