Art Reclaimer -- Jin Rui

Wen/Hu Jianjun

Jin Rui is an artist I am familiar with, he was born in Dongyang, Zhejiang Province, and grew up in Shanghai, benefited from the army as a big school, and at the same time, Jiangnan's culture has always been immersed in him.

During his time in the army, he moved to Jiaxing. Jiaxing is located in the Taihu Lake basin, water country, both Wu "Tai Bo resignation of the legacy of" and Yue "Xia Yu diligence and thrift of the rest of the habit", this is a city of literature and good learning, since ancient times, "Rarely practice military, especially adore the literature and Confucianism! Since ancient times, "rarely practiced military, especially adore the literary Confucian", "the prevalence of literary characters before and after looking at", "in the Song Dynasty for the state of cultural relics, and so far, many of the Shi Xing in the school, the market place is also a class of all the Hong Sheng Shuo Yan". "Clothes and clothes, the new can be seen". "Good reading, although the village of three families must be stored in the book", "the field of small people are taught to children and grandchildren to read".

Jinrui can poetry, good books, good at painting, get prints, hobby collection, through the music. His artistic comprehensiveness is rare among contemporary artists. Based on the traditional Chinese culture, he constantly explores new creative concepts, and his series of water towns and peonies are very popular, and are the favorites of calligraphy and painting collectors. His paintings are often shaped by a single stroke, and he pursues the interest and far-reaching meaning of his paintings. He tries different art forms such as "heavy color with ink", "color ink with propylene", "black with propylene", "heavy color with ink" and burnt ink. With different art forms, he uses the brush in his hand to eulogize the beauty of life and praise the motherland's great rivers and mountains. On the basis of the traditional essence, he discovered the undiscovered rules of his predecessors, and with the personality of his own mind, he looked at the nature again and again to get unique feelings, and sought for a new artistic language to express them, forming his own personalized style. Just like a reclaimer, he grasps the realm of his own mind and explores his own symbolic language on the basis of his own temperament, life experience and personal realization, showing perseverance and bursting out with fountain-like thoughts and talents. On the basis of inheriting the traditional experience of using brush and ink, he senses things with his heart and moves God with his heart, so that his artistic creation randomly generates a variety of forms of brush and ink, aesthetic sense of brush and ink, and the quality of brush and ink in the process of thinking wonderfully and approaching to the essence of landscape and art, especially focusing on the elevation from physical image to imagery, the conversion from the material level to the spiritual level, and the transcendence from the natural landscape to the artistic situation. As a result, his works are able to show the traditional origin and the vitality and creativity that stand out from the others in the wide range of his works and the thick accumulation of his works.

His calligraphy is also unique, after decades of careful study of the Zhejiang School of Clerical Script, his calligraphy gradually had its own elegant, light and heavy style, the Clerical Script of the silkworm head and swallow tail into the new Qing ink rhyme. He knows that learning to write first learns the way to be a person, and the leaves are luxuriant based on the principle of deep roots. He fully absorbed the essence of calligraphy from famous artists, and hungrily absorbed the nutrients in the book, which made the calligraphy smooth, free and moderate.

Jinrui not only pays attention to the cultivation of art, he is also a member of the Musicians Association, a member of the Chinese Society of Poetry and Couplets, and he has deep attainments in music and poetry and couplets, which greatly enriches his artistic creation, and he also serves as a painter of Jiaxing Painting Academy, and the director of the Lingguang Calligraphy and Painting Academy of the Jingyan Lecture Temple. But he is very low-key, do not try to make a name for himself, his life is committed to the research and development of the art of painting and calligraphy, popular with the masses, he set poetry, calligraphy, painting, printing, music and other achievements in a single, dedicated to learning, the sea of art cruising, and enjoying themselves.

In his own artistic practice, Jin Rui has added new connotations and vitality to the historical accumulation of Chinese painting, so that tradition and innovation are so harmoniously and perfectly combined in practice. It is in this sense that we can understand the aesthetic value of the artistic explorations made by the painter in the transformation to modern forms.
