Painter Ouyang Yinkun
Text: Chen Zhangquan.
There may be many ways for a painter to welcome the New Year, but carefully select his own ingenious Chinese painting sketches, print them into exquisite desk calendars, and give them to friends as gifts. 12 paintings, fruits, vegetables, insects, bamboos and stones. As if with a pinch, the juice of the vegetables and fruits will flow out, and as soon as you raise your hand, the insect will flutter its little wings and fly out of the paper. The painter Ouyang Yinkun's solid painting skills can be seen.
Yinkun's surname is Ouyang, and this kind of surname is not common in my circle of friends, so it is easy to remember. Of course, having this person in my heart is one of the many reasons. In all fairness, in the small literary circle we delineated, I am afraid that there will not be too many objections to define him by the word "rich". Other people's skills and abilities are there, and they are clear at a glance, and they can't be acknowledged if they don't admit it. Everything is afraid of a comparison, put it out and shine, its texture is exquisite, and those who dare to compare and compare are often extraordinary.
Ouyang Yinkun can be called a young talent, splendid in the chest, insightful in the world, especially the handsome and crisp and elegant appearance, just one glance makes people happy from the heart, and is modest, a free and easy to fight with the world, can not help but be admired, at a young age to live so transparently, it is really likeable.
The first to hear its name, not like thunder, the person who introduced it also seemed to have a look of disdain, and when it came to the company he worked for, the more disdain he had. At that time, I didn't think about it, a new friend I knew indirectly, and more information about the other party really had nothing to do with me, so there was no need to think deeply about Ouyang Yinkun and his affairs.
One day later, I read his paintings from "Zunyi**", and since then, I have paid special attention to the fact that the paintings are one after another, if they are collected in one place, it is a gallery, and in the middle of the large number of beautiful words in the supplement edition of "Loushanguan", it is particularly eye-catching. The painting is a Chinese painting, the quality is not low, a large piece of ink with some light color, the shade is appropriate, the style is elegant, the theme is distinct, and the taste is unique, which seems to constantly strengthen the impression of Ouyang Yinkun as a painter in my mind. There is also occasional calligraphy, and the words are strong and ancient, not in a few words can be broken.
Ouyang Yinkun is painting.
From time to time, some people seem to unintentionally mention the words "Ouyang Yinkun" in their ears, and after a long time, the word is like a seed sprinkled into the heart, and it will always break the ground in the light of the wind and drizzle. At that time, I was editing the "Banzhou Daily", imitating the big newspapers and magazines, and we also set up a monthly supplemental edition. Although it is still mainly news, a newspaper cannot be without the gold content of culture, which is our consensus at that time. So I went around asking for manuscripts, and Ouyang Yinkun was naturally in our author community, and his paintings were naturally among our manuscripts.
At first, some editors in the station were worried that Mr. Yinkun would not give in, after all, "Banzhou Daily" was only a district and county-level**, and at that time, Ouyang Yinkun was already famous in and out of the mountains, and his masterpiece was not worried about being published. However, the reality is that I am touched by his positive attitude and sincere gratitude for his excellent paintings, and whenever he is invited, he often responds to every request except for those he thinks he cannot take. So, during that period, we read Ouyang Yinkun's "Red Zunyi", "The Moon is the Hometown Ming", "God Bless China" and other calligraphy and painting works from a local tabloid with a print run of no more than 1,000 and few people cared about. I think, such an author is rare, must be the best to develop healthily as a rock-solid foundation, the so-called clever woman is difficult to cook without rice, the same is true for newspapers, publications, radio and television, if you want to run a special taste, such an author is indispensable.
One day when I was idle, I had an idea to make a cultural column for Mr. Yinkun. At that time, our station was having "Boya Library" in the audience, and the ratings were relatively high. I made up my mind, so I went to the host of the camera and video editor to discuss, everyone gathered, and hit it off, I was responsible for planning, responsible for the text, and responsible for the contact with the publicity object. **Go, Ouyang Yinkun did not refuse, after a word of gratitude, he was sincerely worried, afraid that he was not qualified enough and that he would not perform well, which would affect the normal ratings of the column. I didn't completely dismiss his considerations, but I encouraged him more and bluntly said that it is normal for people to be unsteady, and you just need to do what you normally do.
Dispelling my worries, I delineated a few time nodes for Ouyang Yinkun to complete the preparations. The information quickly arrived in my hands, and this speed told me that Ouyang Yinkun was not a person who liked to procrastinate. While reading the materials, I started writing the script of the column program at the same time.
The information is an entrance for me to gain an in-depth understanding of Ouyang Yinkun, and I sifted out these sentences: "The literary dream is the most wonderful and wonderful dream in my life, it carries all my ideals and hopes, and I will use my life to do it well, complete it and realize it through unremitting efforts." I think this is enough to show that Mr. Yinkun has a delicate knot for his literary dreams.
What kind of book is "On Chinese Painting", I still don't know, and I don't know why Ouyang Yinkun's father gave it to him as a gift, to his childhood, to his interests, to his dreams, but I am very envious, what a far-sighted father, as if he was instructed by God, not delicious or fun, it is a book about painting that may not be fully understood by young children. As if he had been enlightened by God, Ouyang Yinkun not only fell in love with "On Chinese Painting", but also because of the guidance of this book, he stepped into the jungle where Chinese painting is full of purple and red butterflies and dancing bees. From "On Chinese Painting" to "Mustard Seed Garden Painting", Yu Ouyang Yinkun, the time span of the two books into life is far more than ten years. For more than ten years, Ouyang Yinkun has gone through from the first acquaintance of Chinese painting to the consciousness of Chinese painting, from passive acceptance to active management, from the timidity of writing to the calm ...... of moving the brushTen years, not long, not short. In a person's life, there is a good ten years, which is extremely important.
But to have some gains and achievements, ten years is far from enough, such as painting bamboo, Ouyang Yinkun has always taken it as one of the main directions. Looking through the history of Chinese painting, bamboo painting is deeply loved by painters of all dynasties. In the Five Dynasties, bamboo painting has been established as a separate subject, and since then, bamboo painting has been overgrown and endless, and bamboo painting is often used by the appreciation world as one of the proofs of the skill of flower and bird painters. The so-called "one lifetime of orchid, half of the bamboo", to be able to truly grasp the spiritual connotation of orchid and bamboo, is by no means a day's work. I remember that on the day the show officially started filming, Ouyang Yinkun took us to the Zunyi Botanical Garden, where he often went to sketch. Looking at the distant mountains and near the mountains, the wind and the roll, soaked in the golden sunlight like water, the thousands of acres of green bamboo, Ouyang Yinkun is happy, holding the sketchbook in his hand, approaching the branches and leaves, concentrating on the side, if there is no one. At that moment, I was reading Ouyang Yinkun at close range, and he was reading his mountains, rivers, plants and trees without distraction, and figuring out his three-dimensional paintings. During the interval between stopping the pen, Ouyang Yinkun said frankly: Bamboo is in him, and he is also a teacher and a friend. I remember when I was a child, around his house, there were bamboo forests. As soon as I have free time, I will ask my friends to play in the bamboo forest, so I have a preliminary understanding of the wind, sunshine, rain, dew, snow and other scenes of bamboo. Later, as I grew older, I slowly came into contact with Chinese painting, and saw the bamboo paintings of masters such as Wen Tong, Su Dongpo, Wu Zhen, Xia Chang, Zheng Banqiao, and Wu Changshuo, and gradually fell in love with bamboo painting.
According to an expert, Ouyang Yinkun's bamboo paintings pay attention to the changes of the virtual and real brushwork, emphasizing the texture and contrast of the picture, and the volume is comfortable and the imagery is unique. The bamboo and stone in his paintings, even including auxiliary objects, are written with a pen, and his paintings are concise and clumsy, clean and standardized, outlined without losing robustness, and simple and pure. Ouyang Yinkun embodied his spirit, temperament and talent in the radiant bamboo paintings, and persevered in pouring a lot of effort, and he even used "Bamboo Fu" to sing the bamboo song: "Oh! My heart is like bamboo, my heart is like stopping water, and I am self-cultivation; I love the bamboo, love the elegance of the bamboo, love the character of the bamboo. Bamboo, Jun also; Bamboo, teacher; Bamboo, benevolence; Bamboo, righteousness; Bamboo, Tao also; Bamboo, Zen is also ......Bamboo can encompass all things and cover all things. It can ignite ordinary people, and its virtue can purify all living beings. Bamboo, which has benefited the past and the present, will affect the present. After years of precipitation, he summarized the quality of bamboo as "Jun, Teacher, Benevolence, Righteousness, Taoism, Zen", etc., revealing the summary and understanding of life experience and artistic avenue. Looking at Ouyang Yinkun's bamboo paintings from a distance and up close, they are bamboo, but not bamboo, not bamboo, and after all, bamboo. The ink is on the heart, the gesture is flying, and the bamboo, strong and relaxed, free and elegant, implies the soul and thoughts of the painter.
Not only draw bamboo. Standing on the side of the case, look at the insects running out of Ouyang Yinkun's pen, all of them are meticulous, lifelike, and full of interest.
Ouyang Yinkun never locked himself in the door and made fools, he once went to Beijing alone to worship Mr. Zhang Lichen in Ziyuan.
True to his word, Ouyang Yinkun adheres to his own principles of life and never disappoints those who know others. I once asked him for Mobao intentionally or unintentionally, but I knew that he was seeking rice sorghum, and I didn't take it too much to heart, but after a while, suddenly ** came, saying that the promised Meilan Zhuju had been painted, whether to send it over. After stopping the conversation, I was stupid there, as if I had been pinched by something, and I really trembled for a while, and then I received a scroll of calligraphy and painting from him in person near the community. Now, the paintings have been framed and stopped, one by one hanging in my new home, and when I look at it, the original dull wall suddenly comes alive, the middle hall is paid, and the living room is bright. The plum orchid bamboo chrysanthemum that is simple and simple, the three old plum dark fragrance and sparse shadow, a cluster of elegant orchids, the four-pole green bamboo is clear and strong, and the seven evening chrysanthemums are cold and arrogant, Ouyang Yinkun has a heart, and one branch and one leaf are always concerned.
When it comes to Ouyang Yinkun, the so-called "deep thinking" is really original. Listening to him, there are several large paintings that he will never forget. On the eve of the party's centenary in 2021, he couldn't sleep at night, always planning to present a congratulatory gift for the centenary of the founding of the party. As a painter, offering paintings is naturally the first choice, as an authentic Zunyi person, red selection of materials, Zunyi is a treasure trove. So, accompanied by his family, he went to Loushan Pass several times, climbed the steep cliff and climbed the peak on the dangerous road, so that his body and mind were immersed in the hardships of the battle and the majesty of Loushan. Heaven rewards hard work, and when he returns to the painting case later, he only makes a slight idea, so that the middle side of the six-foot rice paper bucket is waved arbitrarily against the front, and a majestic picture of Loushan Mountain of "Cangshan is like the sea" will be dripping out. On the contrary, the famous building is unexpectedly hidden in the characteristic mountain village of northern Qianbei, becoming an abrupt vista, and the foreground of the painting is a strong and upright ancient pine, so it seems to be an ordinary red painting, but it is eclectic, showing an intriguing symbolic meaning.
At this point, I suddenly remembered a comment by the art critic Mr. Yu Shi on Ouyang Yinkun: Ouyang Yinkun not only loves calligraphy and painting, but also loves literature, and his poetry and rhetoric have reached a certain level. His literary works have won the ** Literature and Art Award many times, and some of his works have been included in the compilation of the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" National Key Books, won the second Yuhua Reading Award, and were shortlisted for the National Haoran Literature Award. As a scholar of calligraphy and painting, his calligraphy works have been exhibited in the "China Calligraphy Association News and Propaganda Work Network Seminar" Teaching Achievement Exhibition, the China Calligraphy Association Western Book Industry Rookie Calligraphy Works Exhibition, and the calligraphy articles have been included in the "Calligraphy Discipline Construction and Development Academic Seminar" collection, the China Calligraphy Association Western Book Industry Rookie Collection, etc., and the aesthetic articles have won the Feng Zikai Aesthetic Education Thought and New Era Aesthetic Education (Art Education) Excellence Award. It is precisely because of this that Ouyang Yinkun's paintings have the moral tendency and profound connotation of traditional Chinese literati painting.
In calligraphy and painting, I am a layman, many times, just onlookers are lively, but I think, in the group of calligraphers and painters in Zunyi, such a multi-faceted attack, and there is no lack of achievements, it is rare, and the seventh Guizhou Calligraphers Association Calligraphy Review and Cultural Communication Committee member, Zunyi Painting Institute Distinguished Painter, member of the Chinese Poetry Society, Provincial Artists Association, Calligraphers Association, Writers Association, this series of titles, if not a false name, then at least in me, should have more respect for him.
Most of the insiders think that Mr. Yinkun is elegant and pure, with a quaint style, so it is the ** of Ouyang Yinkun's "number", which is of course just my private guess. Knowing the ancient style, don't sign the owner of the Plum Blossom Book House, Zhai and Zhushan House, these are the ingenuity that contains the charm of classical Chinese culture, which makes me add a lot of inferences to the seemingly tranquil Ouyang Yinkun.
Ouyang Yinkun became more and more otherworldly.
