Zhang Chunliang: Excerpts from Poetry, Calligraphy and Painting: Taste the Art of Nanshan Vulgarians
(Originally published in the September issue of 20 10 "Elite Art of the Financial Intelligence Elite")
Zhang Wenjun had a soft spot for calligraphy and practiced it silently. When I was in middle school, I was ridiculed by my teacher and said, "Do you just want to be a copywriter?" Although the teacher was sarcastic, he stuck to his goal. He suffered a lot in practicing calligraphy, practicing for three days in winter and three days in summer. I can't write well because I'm in a hurry. Fortunately, I smashed the ink bottle several times and stepped on the brush with my foot. Later, he drifted north to Beijing to find his dream. After work, he studied hard, practiced hard, visited the inscriptions of calligraphy and painting in previous dynasties, studied the theory of calligraphy and painting in previous dynasties, and explored the skills of calligraphy and painting. He often shuttles between Beijing's painting and calligraphy market and art galleries, learning from the advantages of his predecessors and making up for his own shortcomings. I have studied many calligraphers, summed up their laws and formed my own style. His regular script combines the justice and rigor of Ou Yangxun and the grandeur of Yan Zhenqing. The running script includes Wang Xizhi's vigorous and graceful, changeable and Zhao Mengfu's chic and gentle; The cursive script combines the wildness of Cao Sheng and Zhang Xuzhi with the elegance of Huai Su. He spent 20 years practicing persistently and wrote a unique calligraphy style. On the basis of inheriting the tradition, his calligraphy is good at originality, cursive, cursive and cursive. In particular, the original word "dragon" is vivid and vivid, combining bionics with traditional painting and calligraphy art; There is also the word "tiger", which condenses the charm of the tiger in the pen and appears on the paper, and suddenly feels that the tiger jumps over the mountain; The words "God" and "Qi" in regular script are more stable and elegant. Calligraphy chapters reveal the unrestrained and uninhibited romantic talents, giving people leisure, elegance and bold artistic enjoyment.
His paintings are mainly freehand landscapes and flowers and birds. From the faint picture, he seems to be able to glimpse the misty expression, just like his calligraphy, ethereal, aesthetic and elegant. And a self-made seal of "the romantic son of Qin people" adds a bit of aura and lively interest to his paintings and calligraphy. His works of art are a wonderful flower in China's art treasure house, a high-value product worthy of collection in the future painting and calligraphy market, the most potential painter in the contemporary young and middle-aged painting and calligraphy circles, and a young all-round artist in China who integrates poetry, literature, painting and calligraphy, music, Taoism, Buddhism, artistic criticism, economic criticism and military theory creation. It can be described as "having both ability and political integrity, both civil and military." Improvisation is more obvious in its artistic skills, poetry and prose are eloquent, and more talents win. He was praised by many authoritative media as a romantic genius, a prince of love poems, a young magician and a young leader. He is a man with lofty ideals and great talent.
Mr Zhang Wenjun not only loves artistic creation, but also is a social activist and a business genius. His figure shuttles between business, politics and academic activities. Actively strive for human peace, social harmony and charity. Closely link artistic creation with people's well-being and the rise and fall of the nation. The aim is to revitalize China culture and art and try to "change human life style with art"!
It matters not what someone is born but what they grow to be. A person stands between the vast sea of people and heaven and earth, relying on his own character, thoughts and talents. Although the art of the Wen Jun brothers has no door or faction, they all achieved something and formed themselves. This brother's character is just like his art: bohemian, clear between good and evil, sincere and intelligent, open-minded and unpretentious. The reason why I wrote something for him is that there are a group of ambitious young people like the Wen Jun brothers in this huge capital. They are persistent in art and strive for their ideals. They are people with true temperament. Although they work hard for life and persist in realizing their ideals, they do not compromise, give up or get lost. They are a group of people who really have noble souls. I would like to pay tribute to them with this article, and wish Brother Wen endless pursuit and fruitful results in the future art road!
