/kloc-Sun Jusheng, a 0/03-year-old Elvis Presley, has a silver beard and is hale and hearty. As a centenarian who has experienced many vicissitudes, he is also a famous cat painter at home and abroad. He and his works are legends. The cats in his works are healthy and lively, playful and lovely, with an intriguing and thought-provoking vitality and freedom.
Sun Jusheng's Chinese painting creation advocates truth, beauty and vividness, that is, truth, beauty and vividness, emphasizes the unity of form and spirit, and emphasizes the complementary relationship between form and spirit, and puts forward "emphasizing form, shape follows spirit" and "fewer but more, with both situations".
Cats belong to flower-and-bird paintings in the classification of paintings. The appreciation connotation of flower-and-bird painting is mainly to appreciate the inner spirit, external charm and overall momentum of painting. Although there are many varieties, each has its own advantages. Painting creation is to describe the observation of nature and the understanding of life with pen and ink. It is the artist's understanding and expression of life, the beginning of transforming the essence of life into a social and cultural way, and the closest understanding of nature. It is also the development process of the painter's mind actively guiding the transformation of matter into spirit. Creation means that the painter presents the emotions and environment to be conveyed in the form of art with "mind" and "nature", which brings spiritual pleasure to people.
Sun Jusheng's poems, paintings and calligraphy are excellent, especially the cat he painted, which gives people a real and smart aesthetic feeling. In order to diversify the cat's dynamics, he drew different parts of the cat separately, and then drew different expressions of the cat, such as walking, moving, sitting, lying, jumping, jumping, happiness, anger, sadness and joy, and often practiced them repeatedly. He did this in order to draw more cats with different postures and realize diversification.
The highest realm of cat painting is the realm of mind, and it is also the fusion of painting realm and artistic conception, which makes Sun Jusheng's painting different from that of pure technical craftsmen to a great extent. Artistic character refers to personality cultivation and professional accomplishment. Only when the two go hand in hand can the spirit not be poor and pave the way for the expansion of art. Sun Jusheng pursues his ideal bravely, honestly and without self-deception, and he will achieve perfection.
Sun Jusheng's choice of theme is very bold. Cats, docile but active, sometimes show wild "tiger power" and are difficult to control. However, Sun Jusheng "tamed" this "tiger" and became lively and lovely on paper, which is unparalleled in today's painting world.
In his creative practice, he is good at dealing with the relationship between tradition and modernity, which embodies his aesthetic view of "observing the present to make the strange and learning from the ancient". Each of his paintings is engraved with poems and painted into poems, so his paintings are always poetic, poetic and profound, and complement each other. Sun Jusheng's poems, books and paintings are integrated, which is unmatched by any painter today.
