I would like to use this article to deeply remember and remember the famous painter Mr. Zhang Zhenji.
Guan Jinchao. Voice of the Crane 2023-12-21 17:45 Published in Henan).
I silently had a dialogue with a landscape of five colors, like the whispers of the wind and flowers, like the projection of the sun on the water waves. The narrative of the scenery is both shallow and deep, clumsy and clever. This dialogue is a poem, a **, and a profound philosophy. In the dialogue, the scenery gradually soaked and melted from far to near, from alienation to intimacy, and I became a scenery in that landscape. I can't help but admire Mr. Zhang Zhenji's artistic creativity. He put his pen into a painting, splashing ink as a scene, the charm of his painting, the meaning outside the painting, my love and soul are firmly "netted". Mr. Zhang Zhenji has been cool since childhood.
He loves the art of painting, and when he was studying at Anyang Normal College in the 50s of the last century, his sketches and color studies were already outstanding. After that, he immersed himself in the study of the art of painting, forgetting to sleep and eating, and worked tirelessly all year round. In the face of a colorful society, there is nothing to gain from fame and fortune, but only a habit of painting. Engaged in amateur painting for decades, exploring the loneliness and coldness of the way of art, the bitter and sweet of splashing ink at the desk, the taste, how can the freehand ink clearly show the background color of a silent soul?In this regard, Mr. Zhang Zhenji is calm, relieved, and has no regrets. Because of his erudition, because of his talent, because of his diligence and dedication, because he has great feelings and endures great loneliness, the god of fate made him use a brush to paint noble sentiments, revealing refined tastes and elegant styles. Life is less than 100, and I often have a thousand years of worries. A person's life is like a dream, no matter what kind of situation and years, it will be like a cloud of smoke. But Mr. Zhang Zhenji left the scene and years at the end of the pen and in the picture;With his favorite colors, he retains the evergreen art, the skillful skills and broad law, and the ingenuity of a strong pursuit of art and spiritIt also retains an art treasure house and an artistic green mountain that will never grow old for later generations!
Zhang Zhenji began to study Western painting, and later, he turned from a solid foundation in Western painting to the creation of Chinese painting. From looking at the world in art to looking back at China in art, it not only reflects Zhang Zhenji's bold spirit of exploration in art, but also shows his strong idea of "root-seeking" in art. Rooted in the land of China, but must always open the window to look at the world art, this is Zhang Zhenji's artistic standard. Arguably. The collection of paintings he published is based on his artistic standard as the center and his spirit of exploration as the radius, painting a "big circle" that is not only a portrayal of life, but also a fruit of art.
Chinese painting has nearly 2,000 years of brush and ink and is a profound and extensive treasure house of art. Zhang Zhenji swam, explored, and picked up in this abyssal sea. Without hesitation, he chose the traditional painting of freehand, and drew on the strengths of Xu Wei, Bada Shanren, Qi Baishi, Cui Zifan and other families, and summarized their artistic styles as ".Hearty and smooth, heavy and powerfulClumsy and simple, naïve and trueThe two sentences are written in couplets and hung on the wall of the studio, always standardizing their painting art. Zhang Zhenji advocates".Ink and paint, write my spiritThe ultimate goal is to "write my spirit", and the "me" here is the "big me" that surpasses the self, and "write my spirit" isWrite about the national spirit and the Chinese spirit。For example, in the collection of paintingsGalloping horsesCultivatorScramble mapIsn't it the kind of rushing upward, high-spirited and bitter.
Is it a portrayal of the national spirit of hard work and hard work?Zhang Zhenji can paint an extraordinary national spirit with ordinary brushwork, which shows that his realm is lofty, his feelings are noble, his temperament is noble, and his style is elegant. Like many Chinese literati and artists, his strong sense of nationality seems to be innate, and it runs through his lifelong artistic pursuits, which is also the spiritual pillar of his life and art. With this, you will be indifferent to fame and fortune, honor and disgrace, and your heart will be at the highest level of art. In the collection of paintingsLotus Jie TuMoheMoonlight on the lotus pondand so on, all of which are sent thick or light or front or side.
It embodies this kind of broad feelings and the noble spirit of the literati.
True art, forever accompanied by the creation of novelty, insulated from the banal. Mr. Zhang Zhenji has always explored the style of "individuality" in his paintings. To this end, he boldly innovated, and strived to get rid of the traditional rut, "do not drill other people's turtle shells, nor drill his own turtle shells", and invested in conception and creation with new ways of thinking, new colors and techniques. In traditional literature and painting, foxes are often portrayed as secretive, cunning, and deceitful, and the embodiment of demons and spirits. However, Zhang Zhenji is ingenious and paints it against the ancient traditional consciousness. In his paintings, foxes are depicted as intelligent, clever, agile and very cute. In particular, the one inscribed ".DanceThe painting can be called a masterpiece in the painting. Picture.
The last fox stood up with its neck upright, its tail wagging gently, and its hands dancing, and its incomparable joy and intelligent temperament overflowed between its smart eyebrows, which made people look at it with all kinds of love and pity, and truly regarded it as the embodiment of wisdom.
If people were as smart and flexible as foxes, China wouldn't be so ignorant. Zhang Zhenji explained his profound intention to justify the fox's name.
The wise man does not say much, but he does not speak. Zhang Zhenji, who is usually silent, always likes to think about some problems in his spare time when painting. For a moment, he pondered about half-breeds: the smartest people in the world are often half-breeds. What makes them wise and wise is the mixture of bloodlines. He thinks of painting, he thinks of art. After repeated explorations, his "mixed-race paintings" finally came out of his brush. Among them, ".A hundred flowers are gorgeousIt is a masterpiece of this type of painting. The painter is bold.
At the same time, red, yellow, blue, black, white, gray and dots, lines, surfaces and other painting elements are skillfully blended into a painting, making the work bright lines, novel and unique, and extraordinary. This is a successful creation of the combination of Chinese and Western styles in the art of painting. Such a bold and successful attempt made this painting produce a "mixed-blood" effect of Chinese and foreign art, and became a bright pearl in his painting art.
In his painting practice, Mr. Zhang Zhenji not only has a good understanding of the use of brush, ink, color and light, but also has a knack for using paper and water. He often searched for techniques and discovered mysteries in places where others thought there was no technique to talk about or explore, showing the artist's unique artistic sensitivity. After mastering the flexibility, annihilation and coverage of rice paper under normal circumstances, he discovered the anti-coverage of rice paper in his paintings, and pondered and experimented repeatedly to properly apply the "four natures" of paper to the creation of different themes. In particular, he has studied the properties of paper, how to use water, what composition of water to use for painting, what heat to use, how much water to use, and how to use water. In the collection of paintingsFunThis clever use of water is used.
Artistic treatment: But see a red lotus blooming brightly, the huge lotus leaf is covered with round and crystalline dewdrops, splashing sound, rolling and dripping, giving people a vivid sense of flow and fresh breath of life. The lotus is quiet, and the water is moving;Ye Ben is lonely, and the dew is spiritual. The painter cleverly unites the two mutually exclusive states of movement and stillness in a single picture, and the "static lotus" and "reveal" seem to be untrue and contradictory, but in fact they are mutually reinforcing and expressive. Quiet, quiet, contrasting vivid, vigorous, so that the whole painting in the movement of the still, static in the movement, set off each other, organic blending, "moving" things highlight and strengthen the "quiet" artistic conception, so that people sprout a sense of tranquility, the spirit sublimation to the noble realm.
Looking at Zhang Zhenji's paintings, it is not difficult to find that he is oneA painter who is deeply versed in the dialectics of art。The opposing factors of form and spirit, emotion and reason, void and reality, movement and stillness, rigidity and softness, clumsiness and ingenuity, thick and light, coarse and fine, sparse and dense are used in harmony and unity in his paintings. 《A glimpse of the fisherman's houseThis painting is not only simple in style and unconventional, but also.
It is also very good in the use of the dialectical relationship between the virtual and the real. In the blockbuster picture, only a few fresh fish hang jaggedly in the small courtyard, nothing else, and no fisherman appears. This leaves a big gap: that is, the "feeling outside the scene" and "the purpose outside the image", that is, the "sound outside the strings" on the **, which makes people think about it, and when they see the fish, they imagine the small courtyard full of joy after the harvest of the fisherman and the honest smiling face ......of the fisherman who is carved by the wind and wavesIsn't this blank space where no figures are drawn and no houses filled, and the picture is filled to the fullest, leaving people with a vast world of reflection and aftertasteIsn't it more interesting to make people feel the joy of "no painting is a wonderful place"?This kind of "incompleteness" or "incompleteness" of painting is the uniqueness of Zhang Zhenji's art of splashing ink with his brush.
Writing poems and essays advocates "meaning beyond words", and the same is true for painting, and painting is expensive outside the painting. Some of the artist's abstract paintings, included in the collection, are masterpieces in this regard. Zhang Zhenji likes to study philosophyThrough painting, he expresses profound philosophies and contains some abstract philosophical principles in the image of the picture. Abstract painting has the characteristics and functions of this aspect: it paints abstract and endless meanings, superficial and far-reaching. 《See the worldMan, duck, cowand other abstract schools.
The work has the clarity and profundity of "looking at the surface and knowing the inside, and distinguishing the bones by looking at the hair". It is the artist's revelation and expression of the true meaning of society and life, and his reflection and answers to the major issues of the times, which is thought-provoking.
It is difficult to describe the art contained in the album, which makes people never get tired of reading and love it. From the beginning to the end of the book, the classical simplicity, the traditional elegance, the folk clumsiness, the sketching aura, the childishness of children, and the foreign atmosphere of Western painting will jump on the paper at any time. Perhaps it is precisely because of the "six qi of art" pursued by Zhang Zhenji that he has the atmosphere of his painting art, and its fresh and lofty realm is in sight. Wei Feng, former vice chairman of the Hebi Federation of Literary and Art Circles, former chairman of the Artists Association, and a famous calligrapher and painterMr. Zhang Zhenji's paintings were summed up with the finishing touch."The idea is high, the composition is new, the strokes are simple, and the charm is strongand other artistic characteristics, giving an extraordinary evaluation. However, Zhang Zhenji is not satisfied with the existing artistic achievements, and still unremittingly explores and pursues, because only the endless pursuit can there be the evergreen of art and the evergreen ...... of life
After Mr. Zhang Zhenji's first painting collection "Zhang Zhenji's Exploration of Chinese Painting" was published by Henan Fine Arts Publishing House in 1997, after more than 10 years, the second collection of paintings "Zhang Zhenji's Chinese Painting Collection" was published, and the title of the book was inscribed by the famous painter Zhuang Xiaojian. At the same time, he continued to explore and keep pace with the times, researched and invented the writing method of digital cursive, and gradually matured, and published "Digital Cursive Quick Writing Method" in 2018. Zhang Zhenji can really be described as a painter who is searching, unremitting, diligent, fruitful, and has excellent works. It can be seen that he has always regarded artistic creation as his sacred mission, and regarded excellent works as the foundation of his life and the foundation of the world. Therefore, the works he creates are always repeatedly polished and meticulously carved, and each work strives to be carved into a masterpiece and a masterpiece. Therefore, the publication of each of his painting collections has aroused strong repercussions in the calligraphy and painting circles and the education circles.
ZhangMr. Zhenji is not only a painter, but also a children's art educator。What he admires and admires most is that he "dares to be a teacher", learns and imitates Han Yu's spirit of running schools and teaching for the children of poor families, and vigorously cultivates artistic talents for future generations. He said, "The scholars of the ancients must have teachers." Teacher, so preaching, receiving karma, and solving doubts", as a motto, widely accepted children and young students as apprentices, with its original program science teaching method, cultivated many young painters. He poured great enthusiasm and effort into these rising stars, allowing the young painters to concentrate on "learning from teachers" and "learning, so for the Tao";"Learning" is to "learn" his painting skills, and more importantly, to "learn" his artistic way. Therefore, he taught people tirelessly, and taught the painting skills and the virtues of art and the way of art to the students bit by bit, without reservation. All the little painters he trained have achieved remarkable results. Many of the works of the young painters have won awards in provincial, municipal and national children's art exhibitions, and many of their works have participated in international exhibitions and won many awards in international children's painting competitions.
Mr. Zhang Zhenji's spirit of supporting post-learning and selfless dedication can be called a model in the art world. What is even more valuable and lamentable, is that his spirit of pursuing art and the essence of art that he has accumulated throughout his life have been passed on to future generations like a baton, so that the tree of art will be evergreen, the spirit of the painter will always shine, and the way of art will last forever
Mr. Zhang Zhenji's artistic proposition of "painting ink and color, writing my spirit" has long been permeated in his paintings, and has long been planted in the souls of those rising stars and art heirs, and the light of his art and aesthetic belief is exuding endless artistic charm ...... the shore of Qishui
