A hard-working man in the Chinese painting world
Wen Qi Haifeng.
My years ago, there was a painting. On the picture, the splendid wildflowers, interspersed branches and leaves, calm stones, and agile starlings form a complete work. This is a small freehand painting of flowers and birds on the theme of tropical rainforest. In terms of painting techniques, the works also bring out a bit of unbridled and unrestrained freehand atmosphere with the brush. Through this combination of sketching and dot dyeing, thick ink and light color, the artist well expresses the vibrant, fresh and timeless theme of the rainforest in spring. The author of this work is Song Zhi, who was sketching in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan Province. Mr. Song Zhi goes to Xishuangbanna to sketch every year after the Spring Festival, and sketches for more than a month each time, and he has not stopped for ten years. This work shows his painstaking efforts in research and silent cultivation in the past ten years.
Cultural changes are dyed by the world, and the rise and fall are related to the chronological order". In recent years, the Chinese art world has been full of vitality and unprecedented prosperity. The artists profoundly comprehended the exposition that "culture is an important force for the survival and development of the nation" and "literature and art are the clarion call for the progress of the times, which can best represent the style of an era and best lead the atmosphere of an era". Earnestly study, devote themselves to creation, strengthen cultural self-confidence, actively practice their own mission, and play their due role in the process of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. As a member of the artist team, Song Zhi is also relying on the consciousness of an artist to add luster to the development of Chinese cultural construction and the prosperity of Chinese culture through his own brushes.
Song Zhi, a native of Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province, is a silent cultivator who is obsessed with traditional Chinese culture and art. I have known him for more than 20 years, so I can say that he is an old friend. In his early years, Mr. Song Zhi wandered in the art world in his spare time, and persevered for decades. Over the years, I have been visiting classics and visiting famous scholars, which can be described as well-intentioned. Later, Mr. Song Zhi went to Beijing alone, and followed Mr. Zhang Lichen, professor and doctoral supervisor of ** Academy of Fine Arts, and Mr. Ji Ruisen, professor and master's supervisor of Capital Normal University, to study the painting theory and painting techniques of Chinese painting and explore the cultural origin of Chinese painting. The green light is bald, the lonely case is cold, and the painstaking loneliness has lasted for eight years. Such infatuation and concentration have prompted Mr. Song Zhi's painting skills to reach a new height. In the four or five years since 2014, his Chinese paintings have been exhibited in exhibitions sponsored by the China Artists Association more than 10 times. It can be said that the hard work pays off. In recent years, Mr. Song Zhi has had a certain influence in the art world and society, and has attracted more and more people's attention, because his works have a unique style and a distinctive personal artistic image.
A painter, in order to improve his artistic realm, must do two things well. One is to study hard, learn professional knowledge, and improve one's artistic expression ability. In other words, it is necessary to have a variety of technical means that should be required in the professional aspect. The other is to be knowledgeable, broaden your horizons, and improve your cultural literacy. "Literary and artistic workers should consciously adhere to artistic ideals, constantly improve their learning, self-cultivation, and self-cultivation, strengthen ideological accumulation, knowledge reserves, cultural accomplishments, and artistic training, and strive to achieve 'cage the world in the form, and frustrate all things in the end of the pen'." The sages of Chinese painting and calligraphy have repeatedly emphasized that calligraphers and painters should enhance and hone their skills outside painting and improve their cultural literacy. The creation of calligraphy and painting is a part of cultural and artistic work, and it is particularly important for painters to improve their own cultural accomplishment. Song Zhi is such a painter who attaches great importance to all-round cultivation.
Over the years, Mr. Song Zhi has been deeply involved in the art world and has carefully studied various painting methods. Freehand and fine brushwork, traditional and modern, a variety of techniques can be skillfully used. Among his works in the national exhibition, there are both traditional freehand works and modern gongbi works. At the same time, Song Zhi also paid great attention to cultivating his own various talents. On his desk, there are not only the classics of the techniques of famous painters, the collection of painting theories of the past dynasties, but also the classics of ancient and modern literature, and the exposition of poetry and rhythm. Over the decades, he has worked tirelessly and tirelessly to achieve remarkable results in painting, and has also published a number of poetry and anthologies. He was able to achieve this achievement thanks to his efforts to actively explore painting techniques, but also to his unremitting study and deep understanding of traditional Chinese culture. Mr. Song Zhi insists on nourishing his works with the essence of traditional culture, and the inscription of each work is his own poetic motto. This is very worthy of praise and praise.
After experiencing the impetuousness of rushing for quick success in the past few years, the Chinese painting world has now returned to calm. Perhaps, this is a good time for the art of painting and calligraphy to be cleared up. During this period, I hope that Mr. Song Zhi can not forget his original intention, adhere to artistic ethics, continue to study and improve, and make his artistic practice to a new height.
At this point, I will borrow Mr. Song Zhi's "Linjiang Immortal" as the end: "The candle is dark, the wine and the moon are cold, and the painting screen is not red." The shadows of the trees in front of the window were hazy. The west wind passes through the north pavilion, and the eaves are hung with three stars. The decaying load and broken reeds carry the heart, but the curtains are waiting for the spring breeze. The flowers bloom and the leaves fall a few shades and sunny. The belt is gradually widening, this body is the original intention! This poem is not only a scene of his study and work in a Beijing studio, but also a portrayal of his state of mind on the road of art.
The author is a researcher of the ** Museum of Culture and History, a director of the Chinese Artists Association, the vice chairman of the Hebei Provincial Federation of Literary and Art Circles, and the chairman of the Hebei Artists Association).
