China Net Shandong report"It should be that the immortals are drunk and crush the white clouds. A heavy snow repelled the "high temperature" of the previous days, making Jinan's winter gradually clear and real. The plummeting temperature seems to have frozen time, condensing this white spring city, adding a bit of poetry to Jinan's winter. On this icy and snowy day, sponsored by Shandong Art Institute and undertaken by Zhejiang Yin (Shandong) Art Museum, an exhibition with the name of "Spring and Autumn Fruits", "Song Qiming Oil Painting Exhibition" brings a touch of warmth to this cold winter.
Since its exhibition on November 29, many big names in the art world have come to watch the exhibition. Since the last visit to Professor Song Qiming's art exhibition, I have always felt unsatisfied, and on the afternoon of December 18th, the exhibition site ushered in several art celebrities, what kind of insights will they have?What kind of different experience will it bring?Next, we will walk with me again into the "Spring and Autumn Fruits-Song Qiming Oil Painting Exhibition".
So, who are the guests of this exhibition?They are Xu Qingfeng, director of the China Artists Association, chairman of the Shandong Artists Association and president of the Shandong Academy of Arts, Liang Wenbo, consultant of the Shandong Artists Association and professor of Shandong Academy of Arts, Ma Linchun, executive director of the Shandong Chinese Painting Society and professor of the Shandong Academy of Arts, Zhou Sen, director of the Office of the College and Party Committee of Shandong Academy of Arts, Zhao Jun, secretary general of the Shandong Oil Painting Society and deputy director of the Art Museum of Shandong University of the Arts, and Liang Hongwen, chairman of the Shandong & Cultural Vision Network of China.com. Among them, there are both colleagues and old friends, and they have their understanding and feelings of Professor Song's paintings from different angles, and they all applaud and praise them. That's good**?Where does it go?

Last time, I said that the theme of this exhibition broke the choice of the theme of oil painting in the past, and was based on the lotus, peach blossom, apricot blossom and persimmon common in traditional Chinese painting.
First of all, the subject matter is an attempt, everything is satisfactory, harmony and beauty, which is the beautiful yearning of the Chinese people for life, so persimmons and lotus flowers have been common themes in the creation of Chinese painting since ancient times, but they are rare in the creation of oil paintings. With the progress of the times and the needs of the times, since modern times, Lin Fengmian and Wu Guanzhong have absorbed a large number of elements of Chinese painting to paint landscapes, which are closer to the aesthetics of the Chinese and closer to the hearts of the Chinese. Professor Song's fresh lotus flowers, persimmons reflecting red branches, and peach trees full of spring ......They are all in pursuit of the aesthetic context of Lingxiu and warmth, and express the romance and poetry of the Orient.
The second is the attempt of technique, which incorporates oriental calligraphic lines into the picture, interspersed vertically and horizontally, with lines as bones and color as flesh, expressing emotions and life through the rhythm and discipline of the lines of the picture. It seems to adopt the composition of China's "three distances", the Tao is natural, and the unity of heaven and man. And it breaks through the Western three-dimensional painting technique, re-integrating with a flat modeling style, emphasizing artistic conception and charm, and light modeling perspective, which can bring a "pleasing to the eye" and "appreciative" aesthetic experience, and make people think of the Chinese Zen in abstract oil painting.
In the final analysis, Professor Song's works deeply follow the context of traditional Chinese culture, using the medium of oil painting to examine Chinese painting, and explore the "sinicization of oil painting". As a Chinese painter, he can deeply understand Professor Song Qiming's pursuit of the beauty of traditional Chinese artistic conception.
Liang Wenbo, consultant of Shandong Artists Association and professor of Shandong University of Arts, was interviewed.
He said: Although it is in the middle of winter, Professor Song Qiming has created this field, where peach blossoms bloom, the warm sun is shining, and the spring is full of warmth, which makes people feel full of warmth. And it is not difficult to think of the Song Dynasty poet Yang Wanli wrote, "The little lotus shows its sharp corners, and there are dragonflies standing on its head", which is full of poetic atmosphere and suddenly enlightened. Professor Song's greatest characteristic is his love of life, which is also vividly reflected in his works. At the same time, Professor Song's works are very "popular", what is "popular"?That is down-to-earth, elegant, and noble, which is also a manifestation of Chinese culture, which also reflects and conforms to the development trend of nationalization and sinicization of oil painting.
This visit is another in-depth understanding of Professor Song Qiming's paintings, and the vitality in his paintings undoubtedly adds a touch of color to this harsh winter, and also makes the hearts of the viewers rise a trace of warmth. The exhibition may come to an end, but Professor Song Qiming's sincere exploration and pursuit of art will never stop.
