Paying tribute to the times and walking with beauty.
Celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Art Newspaper.

Chen Guanglin Zhong Kui's painting appreciation.
Chen Guanglin is the most professional painter of Zhong Kui in the contemporary art world. He absorbed the form of Zhong Kui painted by Wu Daozi and Ren Bonian, but created more forms than Wu Daozi and Ren Bonian, and more endowed with the characteristics of the times and a myriad of demeanors, and the image of Zhong Kui, the teacher of justice, was greatly enriched in Chen Guanglin's pen.

The Treasure of the Town" by Chen Guanglin The most valuable thing about Chen Guanglin's Zhong Kui is that it integrates the elegant and restrained brush and ink charm of literati painting with the simple and exaggerated modeling elements of folk painting, and successfully blends the two, providing a very useful inspiration for the creation of contemporary Chinese painting. —Zhang Xiaoling (famous art theorist, vice president of China National Academy of Painting, researcher, doctoral supervisor).
Zhengda Meteorology" by Chen Guanglin Chen Guanglin captures creative opportunities from the seams and welding points of tradition and modernity, legend and reality, history and future. With his artistic skills and spiritual understanding, he created Zhong Kui, which is not only historical, legendary, but also in his soul. His paintings always have a majestic momentum, and there is always a power that makes people see and excite. In his pen, Zhong Kui is more vivid, more respectable, and more like a god of justice who eliminates violence and peace. —Guo Yin (famous contemporary aesthete).
Wanying Divine Painting" by Chen Guanglin Chen Guanglin is in harmony with all his knowledge, cultivation, spirituality, mind, and temperament with Zhong Kui's bold temperament and clear character of love and hate, inheriting the thickness of culture and promoting the spirit of the times. Such a highly personalized image of Zhong Kui is very rare in the paintings of Zhong Kui in the past dynasties. The painter also extracted the childish and exaggerated modeling elements and simple and bright color contrast of folk Zhong Kui's paintings, and integrated folk taste with literati brushwork to create a series of magnificent Zhong Kui images, which are unique in contemporary Zhong Kui paintings. —Wang Yong (Deputy Director of the Institute of Fine Arts, Chinese Academy of Arts, Researcher, Famous Art Critic).
Peace and Auspicious Picture" by Chen Guanglin Chen Guanglin is not obsessed with the painting patterns of the past, and is always trying to change the visual stereotype formed by folk professional painting in the long-term market operation. What Zhong Kui's theme is difficult to deal with is the problem of "ghosts and gods". The world, hell, eerie horror and fairness, ** and justice, and all kinds of contradictions must be properly handled in a specific time and space relationship, and cannot be done without masters. Chen Guanglin's Zhong Kui paintings are mostly vertical and vertical scrolls, focusing on symbolic expressions, most of them are burly and independent Zhong Kui, high-spirited Zhong Kui, or raising a fan, or holding a sword, the lines are frustrated and powerful, and the ink color is unbridled and spiritual. Chen Guanglin is freehand, just like his paintings; Zhong Kui is allegorical, just like his person. His series of freehand portraits of Zhong Kui, some of which are close to sketches, are not small, and often have a "godly" brush. —Zheng Gong (Famous Art Theorist, Researcher of the Institute of Fine Arts, Chinese Academy of Arts, Director of the Modern Art Research Office).
Thinking of Innocence" Chen Guanglin made Chen Guanglin's flower and bird paintings to appreciate.
As we all know, Chen Guanglin is famous for his figure paintings, but in fact, he is also an excellent painter of flowers and birds. Perhaps because his fame for figure painting is growing, it has overshadowed his talent in flower and bird painting. For example, his freehand flower and bird paintings, some inherit Wu Changshuo's painting style of "winning with qi", some continue Qi Baishi's style of "winning with love", and some absorb the wonder of Pan Tianshou's "winning with reason". Chen Guanglin's flower and bird paintings have been freehand flowers and birds of the three flavors, wanton and horizontal, put the pen proudly, mostly showing a simple and lush appearance, get rid of the usual flower and bird painting kitsch and shallowness, the kind of natural majestic, fresh and natural style permeates between the brush and ink, refreshing, eye-catching. —Jia Dejiang, editor-in-chief of Beijing Arts and Crafts Publishing House, famous art critic and painter).
