The humanistic spirit is the maintenance, pursuit and concern for human dignity, value and destiny, and is the unique spiritual culture of traditional Chinese virtues.
Mr. Guo Xiaopeng's calligraphy, painting, poetry, and engraving are all excellent, and they go hand in hand to build his complete artistic life, and he is a rare soul talent in the field of art in China. Appreciating Guo Xiaopeng's excellent masterpieces, it will bring you into a time and space tunnel of poetry, calligraphy, painting and printing, and the natural completion of each work will be combined into a dazzling starry world. With different ideas and the free and easy brushwork, or flowers and birds, or animals, sometimes thousands of horses galloping, sometimes Wushan clouds and rain, blooming the life of art in the proud winter. Suddenly, the seal is as in front of you, calm, but see the restrained Wei monument, Mi Fu inheritance of the heritage, after his pen and ink, emotional catharsis, such as flowing water, all the way meandering.
In his old age, he has made outstanding artistic achievements in promoting the quintessence of art, and has been awarded the honorary title of "Meritorious Artist" by relevant units, and awarded him a Baoding.
Mr. Guo Xiaopeng is a typical "compound" artist, from my personal aesthetic preferences and preference, I particularly appreciate his calligraphy, in terms of calligraphy creation, Mr. Guo can be described as "all bodies of the same practitioner", if he "is the grass and the seal" separately to taste, each kind of calligraphy has a good work, it is difficult to distinguish the equal. His writing is extremely smooth, and some calligraphers even bluntly said that Guo Xiaopeng is not limited to the theoretical framework of inheritance, but constantly summarizes and improves in the inheritance.
Mr. Guo grew up in the late stage of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, witnessed the founding of New China as a child, and was also the most profoundly influenced and educated generation by the great man. New China, which stood up after being plagued by war, was in ruins, lacking food and clothing. In this special era when even food and clothing still need to be worked on, Mr. Guo has always been consistent, showing his obsession with traditional calligraphy and painting Xi and creation, which is beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Even in the face of the most difficult "three-year natural disaster" period, he never gave up, and devoted himself to his beloved calligraphy and painting art creation almost madly.
Speaking of life, Guo Xiaopeng has the mind of helping the world, studying the law and cultivating the law, and has served as an important leader of the people of Yunxian County, and his life journey has accumulated a special chivalrous heart. After a thorough study Xi he has the courage to support justice, and he is naturally bold and generous in his life in the world, highlighting the expression of calligraphy is the pen and ink touching the paper is the great atmosphere, and seeking to practice character and write personality on the "virtue and art Shuangxin".
Speaking of self-cultivation, Guo Xiaopeng is also an authentic calligrapher and painter, he is a member of the Chinese Calligraphers Association and the Chinese Artists AssociationThe director of the Chinese Painting and Calligraphy Collection Research Institute, the director of the Chinese Elderly Painting and Calligraphy Society, and the national first-class artist, these literati status allows him to read the classics and study the books. With the cultural talent of Taoism and Confucianism, he is a literati in view of the fact that words are written in poetry, and the mountains and rivers are chanted. This kind of literati quality is based on the creation of calligraphy and painting, which will make calligraphy and painting full of bookish atmosphere, which is very natural and natural, and is the support and premise of the sublimation of calligraphy and painting art, fully revealing the unique temperament in the true sense that is not found in ordinary art creators.
Mr. Guo's fortitude and literati cultivation in leadership positions have made his calligraphy and painting focus on the expression of traditional art styles. Walking in the art world with a magnificent attitude, seeing ugly books, vulgarity, and bad works as rampant, he is the enemy of culture, and has the heroic righteousness of whipping the crooked style of the art world. In the process of cleaning up ugly books, vulgar and inferior works, he continued to study the skills of Chinese painting and pen and ink lines, and practiced his righteous calligraphy and painting skills to seem to be perfect, becoming the mainstay of the authentic dragon vein of calligraphy, and the art of painting all over the great mountains and rivers of the motherland, whether in terms of technical quality or from the aesthetic orientation, his calligraphy and Chinese painting creation have an admirable influence!
Guo Xiaopeng's poems, calligraphy, paintings and prints are like "reserved programs", and the audience has fewer opportunities to appreciate them, which is in line with Guo Xiaopeng's consistent low-key, steady, elegant and quiet character.
Calligraphy, painting, poetry, and engraving have all gone hand in hand since ancient times, and they have traveled together through the smoke and dust of history, felt the way of the world, and finally formed their own aesthetic systems and character pursuits. Since the improvement and reform of Chinese painting in modern times, the tradition of calligraphy is gradually disappearing, especially in the contemporary era, and it has become an artistic phenomenon that cannot be ignored - the level of calligraphy has decreased, and the ugliness of Chinese painting has become vulgar, resulting in the loss of freehand spirit. Therefore, Guo Xiaopeng believes that calligraphy can not only write the heart, write feelings, but also freehand, and he has created a frank aesthetic world with an independent calligraphy personality. He also has his own pursuit of painting techniques, Guo Xiaopeng's peony, smooth lines, free brushstrokes, plump flower shape, clear petals, petals on a thick layer of pink;The whole picture is full of grace and luxury, festive and peaceful. In the pursuit of creative style, the pursuit of bold, innovative and traditional characteristics. The plum blossoms in his pen are very different from the style of his predecessors, the flowers are dense and the branches are numerous, the pen is vigorous and powerful, the picture is full of vitality and perseverance, just like a slim little girl dancing in the cold wind, graceful and colorful.
His Zhong Kui is handsome and tall, with broad shoulders and broad back, wearing a black veil on his head, wearing a python robe, thick eyebrows, fluttering beard, carrying a wat board, wise eyes, and a majestic and righteous face. It vividly depicts a majestic and upright ** image, and the large area of blank space on the picture is also in line with the painter's usual techniques. The large blank space makes the whole picture concise and vivid, giving the viewer unlimited imagination space, and also setting off the tall and majestic characters of the characters.
If it is said that "Qinyuan Spring Snow" is because the great cause of the country inspired his great poetic feelings, then Guo Xiaopeng is because of the turmoil of the great rivers and mountains, which gave him the great idea of not losing to the leader's family and country. Guo Xiaopeng is very good at lyricism based on things, borrowing scenery to make feelings, opening into poems, "Eighteen Miles of Long Gorge" is his deep love for the great rivers and mountains, experiencing the meticulousness and majesty of the natural features, and placing the scene in his heart, reflecting it in the outside is a high degree of unity of objective and subjective. Elegant, elegant, harmonious, and harmonious, Guo Xiaopeng's words and sentences must be majestic, and the feelings are extremely sincere, beautiful and heroic, the artistic conception is far-reaching, and the rhyme is timeless. This is the stunner law that makes the old word card reappear brilliant after "Qinyuan Spring Snow"!Guo Xiaopeng seal carving creation, strive to pursue the richness of artistic connotation, the font is dignified, the lines are elegant, the charm is unique, and then seek multi-layered, seemingly graphic art seal carving, but with nature is all connected, its Chinese character aesthetics and philosophical ideas are integrated, each knife mark contains wisdom and art, highlighting the skill and hard work of the engraver, the power of the font is exciting, the lettering is like flowing water, and the chapter shows humility and heroism.
Reading Mr. Guo's artworks carefully, he has always taken the pursuit of brilliance and the expression of the soul as the highest state of diligently, and strives to seek the inner spirit that is in line with his own character and artistic pursuit, and effectively combines the quintessence of national art with the humanistic spirit, which is simple and gorgeous, rhythmic and dynamic, and elegant in formAncient and simple, unique, giving people a pleasing to the eye and endless aftertaste, it is really a rare powerful faction in today's art world.
Wandering in Mr. Guo Xiaopeng's calligraphy works, he lingers in the artistic enjoyment of "being able to follow the shape and the state, judging the situation and exalting its prestige, each stroke is in its shape, and each character is different in its body". If you read a calm, bright, harmonious and heavy book, the flexible brushstrokes and rhythmic lines all show the unique humanistic heritage of traditional Chinese culture, and demonstrate the superb expressiveness and artistic quality of calligraphers and painters.
Mr. Guo Xiaopeng uses the pen neatly and neatly, square and round, starting the pen, closing the pen, cutting the pen, and the pen is in the center. Long and horizontal, short and thick, the shape of the pen and the turning point is square, and the frustration is clear when the pen is closed. The lines are thin and hard, the road is strong and powerful, and the circle is thick in the clear and steep. The structure is rigorous and sparse and open, the middle palace is compact, and the inside is dense and the outside is sparse. The body is precipitous, and the stability is sought in the middle. Almost every word has one or two strokes that are written relatively long or thick, making the whole character appear full of energy. The whole work is upright and handsome, and the bones are strong.
Looking at Guo Xiaopeng's Xingcao works, there is a solid kung fu of the ancient post, every word has a source, and every stroke has a root!The pen and the pen are written in gold and brocade, the law does not deceive people, the merit does not deceive the world, and it can carry the positive vein of the ancient and modern calligraphy cultureIn the process of learning from the ancients for a long time, he has awakened the essence of calligraphy as the true meaning of line art very thoroughly, and his consciousness of shaping the form of lines is quite strong, and the visual effect of his works is obvious. It can be undulating in a stroke, or it can be frustrated in a stroke. The thin lines can be made as slender as the crescent moon out of the world, and the thick lines are the dragon jumping over the heavenly gate, the tiger lying on the phoenix!It also fell into the ranks of the stars, and it was really a stroke to write the universe of heaven and earth, which could make the lines like the image of all things!This makes his calligraphy both form and spirit, especially more valuable than gods, and has a particularly vivid aesthetic charm.
Hanging a piece of calligraphy like this in the house, the more you look at it, the more you read it, the more tasteful it is, which is an important reason why his calligraphy has won aesthetic influence and can decorate the barrier of thousands of homes. Combining the speed and strength of brush and ink into an effective sense of rhythm is the creative principle of Guo Xiaopeng's calligraphy to maintain a strong aesthetic power. He very accurately grasps the speed and strength of the pen into ink, when the volley kills the paper, the speed and strength are combined, you can see the speed of the autumn eagle vibrating the autumn wind, and you can also see the strength of the back of the paper. When the speed and strength are presented in one, his grass creation has a special sense of situation, the first stroke of the line is the dangerous scene of the autumn eagle chasing the rabbit, which makes people look frightened, and then the next stroke, it is a new scene of the cunning rabbit and the storm, which will not gallop. The brush and ink are linked up and down in the shaping of the scene, and the brushwork is constantly broken, so that the work will not be boring and monotonous, straight and curved, rigid and soft, which is very suitable for the needs of public aesthetics. From this point of view, Guo Xiaopeng's calligraphy performance lies not only in the inheritance of culture, but also in the fact that he brought literati calligraphy from a small circle into the broad vision of public aesthetics, so that calligraphy culture can be nourished by public aesthetics and revived with the times.
Intensive study of the inscription is authentic, eclectic and free. We can identify Guo Xiaopeng's artistic identity in this way, he is not only a calligrapher who shines in the creation of calligraphy, but also a cultural person who is committed to the promotion and dissemination of culture!Through the concept of carrying the Tao through books and cultivating art with literature, everyone can understand the connotation of culture - this is the cultural achievement of Guo Xiaopeng, a powerful contemporary calligrapher!
Mr. Guo Xiaopeng's official calligraphy works are relatively rich, and his writing is very different from the consistent style of other calligraphers, who are horizontal and vertical, and follow the rules, and have the feelings of an old man talking about juvenile madness. The ink is heavy, the line of the pen is vigorous, and the dry pen is used, the thickness is alternate, and the size changes are natural, as if it is easy to come by, but it is unique. The most interesting thing is that in addition to indulgence, the trembling pen twisting technique is mixed with the twisting technique, which makes some of the thin brushstrokes more archaic and jerky, forming a strong contrast with the plump and heavy fat brush. Over the past decades, he has been thriving in "Poetry and Distance", pouring the pain and joy of pursuing calligraphy into the inkstone pen, accompanied by ink, paper and pen, and relying on poetry and couplets and texts, interacting physically and mentally through countless lonely and lonely all-nighters, concentrating on study, devoting himself to cultivation, and releasing a calligrapher's responsibility and responsibility for the inheritance of traditional brush and ink. He uses perseverance and inspiration to sprinkle poetry, self-cultivation and enlightenment, and watch the flowers bloom and fall in front of the courtHe used sweat and feelings to write about life, calm and enlightened, and sat and watched the clouds roll in the sky. He is eager to let infinite perception in countless creations to present himself and occasionally obtain the best products, so that the "coconut rhyme ink marks" can sail in the ocean of traditional culture.
Peony is the king of flowers, but also the national flower of China, but also a symbol of wealth and auspiciousness, happiness and prosperity, from ancient times to the present in addition to poetry and songs, paintings, ** opera, with legendary stories to praise peony is numerous.
I hope that Mr. Guo Xiaopeng will continue to work the road of art, and his original intention will not be unswerving, and he will inherit the national culture with exquisite brushwork, dye a gorgeous life with ink, and let the traditional cultural treasures of the Chinese nation shine!Shine!
