Is Zhang Jian's meticulous figure painting style formed in this way?

One: When I first met Zhang Jian, his paintings have made their mark in the painting world for many years. The appearance of his meticulous figure painting made the painting world look brand-new. When people are amazed, a series of question marks will inevitably form in their minds. How did he come up with such a schema? What is the inspiration of his artistic creation? How did he break away from tradition? What did he inherit? What did you learn from it? Everything is so novel but deja vu. The feeling of reunion after a long separation impacts our vision and shakes our hearts. People often say that painting is like a person. In fact, we can find the answers to all the questions from the painter's paintings, because he is a window to the painter's soul. We open the window and look for what we want to know along the beautiful people and scenery. China painting has always had the habit of following suit. The emergence and success of a painter's works will be imitated by others. We can't say that this kind of learning imitation is wrong, because the inheritance of art is developed on the basis of inheritance, and learning is necessary. However, in the contemporary era of information internationalization, people have turned learning into a speculative means because of the pursuit of fame and fortune, and some people have created new painting styles and artistic languages. Some people go with the flow without thinking, completely losing the spiritual pursuit of artistic creation and the touch of life, just because those big exhibitions can be selected and won prizes, bustling, profitable and lively, which eventually hurts the eyes of the audience, loses everyone's appetite and makes people flinch from the news. The painting world is eager for creative and emotional works of art, works that can touch the hearts of the audience, instead of all the so-called truth, blindly surging with the trend of skills and dazzling skills. Zhang Jian's meticulous figure painting is a clear spring in such an impetuous art bubble era, which makes our eyes shine, our hearts are moved and shocked, and the emotional strings that people have buried for a long time are touched again. When I first saw Zhang Jian's works, it was a graceful and restrained atmosphere that haunted my heart, calm and soft, as if telling you, whispering softly, soothing and quiet, and your heart would be touched by this. This is the elegant and beautiful face of the girl who appeared in front of you. Her supple hair is curly, and her face is indifferent, or meditating, or looking back, carefree. Against the background of flowers and plants, the sky with white clouds, rolling mountains and rolling grass is drifting away from the girl's worries. At close range, the painter let the audience's vision wander between heaven and earth and find a most beautiful perspective. Maybe it's like the so-called golden section in western paintings, but in China people's emotional thinking, we have to haggle over the golden section measured by a ruler, but we have found a golden section in our hearts. Isn't this picture perfect? The people and scenery in the picture seem to tell us a beautiful story, with endless words and endless meanings. Only the heart of every viewer can appreciate this taste. I think this may be some feelings of most audiences when they first read Zhang Jian's works. Girl Zhang Jian's figure work Zhang Jian's meticulous figure painting II: The pictures of past lives with schema are all shocking people with visual images and conveying emotional comfort, all of which are in the interpretation of image schema. Zhang Jian's painting schema, at first glance, is different from many traditional and contemporary meticulous figure paintings and is unique. This is also one of the most important external factors that make it different, because it first impacts the human visual nerve. The characters in the picture are often presented in the form of side portraits, such as standing or sitting in front of the window, from near to far, looking far away, and the blue sky, rolling mountains and grassland floating by white clouds are drifting away in the middle and distant view. It seems that the past lives have been touched in an instant. The modern costumes of the characters are similar to the portraits of the Italian Renaissance, and the mental state of the girl coincides with the elegant spiritual temperament of the Renaissance. It is not unusual for painters to change the visual way of traditional meticulous figure painting and integrate it into the visual way of western painting. However, it is very difficult to combine the western-style image expression with the oriental aesthetic and thinking mode for our use. Simply put, the performance of contemporary figures, because of the similarity of costumes, has reduced many traces of rigid copying, which is also the product of today's western cultural era. In short, modern clothing makes it possible to learn this schema, which is natural and modern. The delicate line expression of Chinese painting is organically unified with the posture of characters and the natural scenery in the background, forming an elegant, quiet and natural state of life, just like recalling and remembering the past through time and space. This nostalgic state coincides with the mood of contemporary people, just as fashion is different in a cycle. When modern western art is presented today, painters skip the contemporary and return to the classical, looking for visual freshness and emotional nostalgia. Nostalgic feelings are reincarnated into the present, forming a fashion of the past tense. It completes an emotional interpretation of contemporary China people with the transmission of classic schemata, because those schemata were once known and deeply loved by you and me, just like a lost lover, appearing around us in reincarnation. There is still an oriental beauty and spirit in the dynamic performance of girls, and the performance of characters is in a state between three-dimensional and plane. The image expression of ukiyo-e painting in oriental art is similar. This western modern art, which tends to be flat, also gives the picture a modern artistic expression. In the composition of the picture, the painter implanted the plane linear factors in modern composition, and divided the picture into several blocky figures, which was in sharp contrast with the slender and curved hair and plants of the characters, and strengthened the visual impact and the sense of plane pattern. Italian Renaissance Works III: Fine, soft and light lines in meticulous figure painting. It has a scroll of air, and the painter combines the hair of the character with the expression of the palm to form a sense of unity in the picture. The lines are slender, short and tortuous, soft and in line with the soothing atmosphere of the picture. This state is more vividly displayed in the pictures of silk, and the lightness of silk and the softness and euphemism of lines can better reflect the quiet mental state that the painter wants to express. The expression of this line is matched with the treatment of elegant color blocks, which is natural. The picture presents a quiet atmosphere with elegant colors, which gives people a kind of spiritual rest and peace before work. The expressions of western-style images, shapes, colors and composition permeate the traditional line drawing in China and are displayed on canvas silk in China, conveying the feelings of China people in contemporary social life under the influence of traditional culture. The painter transformed the traditional line expression into modern spiritual and emotional expression. Living in the south of the Yangtze River, Zhang Jiansheng has a delicate, gentle and quiet temperament of Jiangnan people, which injects basic spiritual elements into the painter's painting, and the painter is influenced by the fresh, delicate and graceful style of Nanpai meticulous painting, so it is inevitable that his works have this kind of atmosphere. Four: the enlightenment and thinking brought by Zhang Jian. Once upon a time, the development of meticulous figure painting entered a bottleneck, full of the same shape and similar themes. We will ask ourselves why our creativity has become so lacking in this diversified era. Whether it is the environment, itself or others, it may be all or not. Many people who are engaged in meticulous figure painting will talk about the painter's techniques and how to deal with them. When it comes to their own creation, they don't know where to start. They always take pains to come up with a schema and image, which is very painful. Is this the fun of painting? Where does the poverty of creation come from and why? The development of meticulous figure painting has been in the cultural wave of contemporary pluralistic times. It is impossible to practice in one's own narrow field, and it is impossible to create within the scope of Chinese painting. The cultures of all countries in the world are learning from each other. Although the spirit of modern China still exists, its form develops with the times, which requires China painters to take the times as the origin coordinates of our creation. To convey contemporary humanistic feelings with traditional art forms requires us to constantly learn from various artistic elements, instead of simply being confined to the narrow scope of Chinese painting, stepping out of artistic boundaries, learning various artistic expressions in the East and the West, constantly enriching our artistic accomplishment, broadening our horizons, and learning to use different artistic forms to transform and create new forms of traditional art with the characteristics of the times. It is in the diversified artistic accomplishment that Zhang Jian constantly uses aesthetic concepts for artistic creation with a broad vision. The painter realized the transformation and reuse of knowledge in inheritance and innovation. This is the artistic accomplishment that an artist should have. Good works of art will cultivate good artists, and good artists will enlighten a generation's spiritual and emotional understanding and create a painting era.
