Carry forward the appreciation of traditional culture and Chinese painting

The understanding of Chengdu stems from a poem by Li Bai, "Ten percent of Chengdu will be opened on the 9th, and ten thousand households will show their paintings. The grass tree cloud is like a splendid cloud, and Qinchuan has no such thing. " Imagine that Chengdu was prosperous and beautiful in the past, and Jinguan City was leisurely and light. It was not until I went that I found that the streets were only prosperous and prosperous, and the tranquility and leisure had disappeared in the traffic and crowds.

20 13 in may, I read the people's daily as usual and came across a group of Chinese paintings called "the old dream of Jincheng". The ordinary alleys, ordinary houses and pagodas in Huaiyin are just the impression of old Chengdu in my mind. Through the combination of works and words, the painter reproduces the simple and vivid features of Chengdu in the 1950 s and 1960 s with simple and exquisite techniques. The picture style is simple, between light ink and ochre yellow, which instantly brought me into the ancient Chengdu described by Li Bai! Yu Youxi's "South Gate Liu Yin Street" is a work, with rows of houses facing the street, three or two pedestrians shuttling back and forth, several weeping willows standing alone by the river, a fishing boat winding along the Jinjiang River, and long streets and rivers disappearing together in the place where water meets sky. Skilled painting skills, desolate and simple style, long aftertaste. At this time, I remembered the painter's name: Huo Jiashun!

The fate between people is the most difficult to explain clearly. Coincidentally, several years later, I met this painter and became a bosom friend because of his paintings!

Mr. Huo Jiashun is from Sichuan. He is burly and hearty, and his gestures are full of chivalry, which is very worthy of the name of Master Dashun. Enlightened since childhood, not seeking fame and fortune, quietly working hard, fascinated by Chinese painting art for more than 50 years, ink painting finally achieved great success. Sir, this life seems to be born for painting.

Mr. Jiashun's artistic path is also legendary. Although he didn't learn from the sects, he still insisted on the painting concept of "multi-sects flooding and living at home". He learned from all people in ancient and modern times. He has been tirelessly observing, copying and refining for decades, and he has also learned from others outside the field. He did learn from the past, but he didn't. At the end of the last century, he formed the painting style of Dashuntang, which is a unique painting world with lofty atmosphere and exquisite.

Mr. Wang is committed to the inheritance and innovation of Chinese painting art. He uses various traditional techniques, such as hooking, rubbing, spotting, dyeing, breaking ink, splashing ink, deboning and splashing color. At the same time, he tried to integrate the traditional techniques of the East with the expressions of western colors and light and shadow, and made constant innovations. If you carefully read Mr. Wang's paintings, you will appreciate his skillful technical characteristics: meticulous brushwork and vivid pen and ink; Splash ink smoothly, and the artistic conception is far away; And its splash-ink color is unique, the pen is ups and downs, ingenious and natural, red, cyan, blue, white and other colors splash-ink, ink color dependence and contrast constitute a strong visual impact. The layout of the picture is ingenious, the details are subtle, and the artistic conception is far-reaching, which gives people endless aftertaste.

Superb artistic expression stems from the accumulation of long-term hard work and life. The painter's own profound China cultural heritage makes his pen and ink exude unique oriental philosophical wisdom and literati aesthetic taste. Huo Jiashun believes that excellent works are the artist's profound performance skills and years of cultivation, an inspirational art form that erupts in an instant, and the result of the author's personality, talent and artistic accomplishment, so kung fu is outside the painting. People who engage in art should not only have a mind as big as the sky, but also observe it carefully in life, so as to show the great beauty of nature and the true taste of life in an inch.

In order to make landscape flowers and birds more spiritual, Mr. Wang pays more attention to observing nature and daily life, so as to have a clear understanding of weather, geography, landscape, vegetation, humanities and residential buildings. In order to truly appreciate the natural charm of the mountains and rivers in his hometown, Mr. Wang Can can be described as "searching for strange peaks to write manuscripts", and his footprints have almost traveled all over the mountains and rivers of the motherland, even the inaccessible snow-capped mountains and plateaus.

Landscape painting is the most difficult field of Chinese painting. Although Mr. Wang is good at landscapes, flowers and birds, figures and stone carvings, he prefers landscapes. Mr. Wang respects the ancient style of Song and Yuan Dynasties, pays attention to freehand brushwork, pays attention to the internal depiction of nature and pays attention to one-stop work. At the beginning of writing, he paid special attention to the ideological beauty and brushwork beauty of landscape people. Under Mr. Wang's pen, mountains and rivers, sea of clouds and steaming Wei are magnificent; Wild trees in the plains, lakes and waters, misty; Flowers, birds, fish and insects are exquisite and lifelike. The overall charm of the picture is vivid, and the color varies with the class. The viewer not only read the magnificence of the landscape in the painting, but also appreciated the gentleman's confidence and calmness in controlling pen and ink, water and color.

Mr. Wang once put forward that "mountains are beautiful because of clouds, and mountains are wonderful because of vegetation", and "Qiangtang Yanyun" has brought this idea into full play. Close-up of several ancient trees in Gu Song, born on rocks, are vigorous and winding, setting off the towering and steep mountains; In the middle scene, the mountains are green, the clouds are around the mountainside, surrounded by winding water, and the water clouds highlight the ethereal and magnificent picture; Looking from afar, the mountains are majestic and towering into the clouds, and the mountains are connected with the sky. The scenery seems to be beyond the scope of painting. The layout is patchy, and the clouds, water and smoke are thick. The goats, cottages and pedestrians dotted in it add to the agility of the picture. Through the combination of reality and contrast between black and white, the painter vividly described the mountain scenery far and near in different ways, turning the ever-changing meaning of clouds into the shade of ink, which can also be seen in his meticulous observation. The whole painting is magnificent, elegant and smart, which makes people feel like a dream and sigh a fairyland on earth.

Beyond mountains and rivers, Mr. Wang loves lotus flowers, and has long been committed to studying and showing the beauty of lotus flowers in various ways. Lotus flowers are proud and clean. Mr. Wang has countless paintings, the ink lotus is fresh and elegant, and the color lotus is gorgeous. Moonlight, splash-ink painting, classic. The picture shows the lotus pond full of vitality in the moonlight, duckweed running water, swaying aquatic plants, swimming fish shuttling, several lotus leaves leaning forward and leaning down, and several semi-budding lotus flowers blooming brightly in the moonlight. Lotus leaves stretch, lotus flowers are delicate, and the dim moonlight caresses them. The rhythm and charm of the wind and lotus in summer night are vividly on the paper. The picture composition is clean, the colors are bright and beautiful, and the colors splash freely. The large-scale use of lines to outline the aquatic plants just breaks the ink color of the picture, but it is fresh and elegant under the infiltration of ink color, which easily brings the viewer into a hazy, blurred, mysterious and romantic atmosphere, making the picture more profound and artistic. The lotus flowers described by painters are full of vitality, noble pride and elegant dust. It is by this that Mr. Wang expresses himself, keeps his mind clean in art, nurtures his spirit with pen and ink, keeps away from impetuousness and devotes himself to his creation, and practices the indifference and persistence of China literati in his bones for thousands of years.

Chinese painting is the soul of China traditional culture and an important part of oriental civilization. Mr. Wang believes: "Aesthetic art has no distinction between national boundaries, regions and races." Mr. Wang not only devotes himself to his artistic creation, but also promotes and disseminates China's traditional arts. He has held touring exhibitions in France, Singapore, Finland and Canada, and the audience received rave reviews, which aroused strong concern and response from foreign art circles.

For more than 50 years, Mr. Wang has worked hard on the road of Chinese painting with his love and persistence in Chinese painting. Although he is over 60 years old, he is still working hard for a deeper artistic accomplishment of ink painting. From Mr. Wang's works, we can not only know his exquisite painting skills, but also know his sincerity and enthusiasm for the motherland, nature and art. What Mr. Wang presents on paper and pen is the true beauty and love in his heart. With a pure heart, Mr. Wang used Dan Qing's wonderful pen to gather the dreamland of ink and wash, extracted the most beautiful essence of everything in the world, and showed a beautiful picture full of oriental interest to China and the West. May Dan Qing meet and live up to Mr. Wang's lifelong ambition to make ink art independent of the world art forest!

The magnificent scenery of Bashan and Shushu, and the romantic humanities of Sichuan nourish Mr. Huo Jiashun's artistic spirit of seeking truth and beauty in this profound natural and humanistic environment.
