In February**Dynamic Incentive Plan In the contemporary Chinese painting world, there is an artist with a distinctive personality style. Different from the current popular painting style, he uses his own unique way to observe nature and grasp his own feelings about nature; He uses a unique painting language to write lyrical shapes and make innovative efforts.
Chen Jialing: Born in November 1937, his ancestral home is Guangxi, and he was born in Yongkang, Zhejiang. One of the representative painters of the "Shanghai School", he studied landscapes, flowers and birds, calligraphy and so on under the tutelage of Pan Tianshou and Lu Yanshao. Since the 80s of the last century, he has absorbed a large number of ancient Chinese murals and foreign watercolor techniques, and through repeated research and practice, he has created a new school of modern Chinese painting rich in Chinese philosophy, with the characteristics of impressionism, abstraction and expressionism, and constantly broadened the multi-attribute of Shanghai art that integrates China and the West, and follows the past and the present.
Chen Jialing's art is concise, novel, smart, quiet, elegant, and ingenious, which is not only modern, but also connected to the traditional umbilical cord; Chen Jialing's personality is smart, sensitive, literary, chic, cheerful, humorous, and doing things is the rhythm of the metropolis, and his speech is not far from Laozhuang.
His ink paintings of flowers and birds, whether large or small, add an element of abstraction without losing figurative details, which are woven into the rhythm of the staggered and overlapping combination of light ink lines, presenting an indescribable beauty of extreme changes. It seems to be a lotus pond leaking through the flower windows in the south of the Yangtze River, bathed in the cosmic aura that transcends time and space; It is like an otherworldly pure air, a moisturized and delicate life. Regardless of the lotus, painted plantains, bamboo, orchids, maple leaves, poplars, okra ......But no matter what you paint, whether it is a faint ink or a kiln variation, it is always simple and fresh. Importantly, Chen Jialing chose to find a breakthrough in the use of materials, adding a certain solvent to the ink to make the "transparency" between objects and images more natural and soft.
Chen Jialing is known as the pioneer of new ink painting, daring to change and being able to change. The lotus leaves in his pen are shallow and faint, the ink spots of the lotus stems are white, the lotus flowers are hazy and swaying, everything is fresh and refined, and it is different from the tradition. Strange and new, just one look at it makes it unforgettable. The flowers bloom dreamily and clearly, and the paper is full of Zen.
His lotus flowers create a style of simplicity and beauty and vitality, dedicating a unique beauty, which not only captures the audience's vision, but also nourishes the viewer's heart.
Mr. Chen Jialing's traditional view is actually a kind of understanding and practical traditional view, and it is also a traditional view that conforms to the times and has the courage to innovate. Although he was "born" in Chinese painting, he was a modern Chinese painter, even a young and vigorous modern Chinese painting.
Chen Jialing laid a solid foundation in Chinese painting under Pan Tianshou, and delved into the technique of using brushes from Lu Yanshao's "eight-sided strike", walking, guarding, leaking, and penetrating. Through continuous exploration and practice, his painting style inherits the path of Lin Fengmian and Wu Guanzhong's integration of China and the West.
His works are concise and generalized, with local pursuit of imagery and abstraction, and the use of points, lines, and surfaces is exquisite and interesting. The ink rhyme is superimposed on the painting method, and the environment is perfected; The aesthetic imagery constructed by the picture expands the context of Chinese flower and bird painting, and conveys the oriental charm to the world.
Among the contemporary Shanghai Chinese painters, Chen Jialing is one of those who dare to change and are good at change. "Dare to change" means to dare to surpass one's own habitual painting method and the style prevailing in the painting world; "Fickle" means that this kind of change pays attention to proportion and degree, and does not abandon one's own strengths and the basic characteristics of ink painting.
Chen Jialing's paintings are ethereal and elegant, romantic and fashionable. From the lotus flowers that change to the landscapes of the landscape, and then to the series of figure paintings that express the soul of the freehand - the context is traditional, the ideas are the times, and the language is integrated. This ethereal and elegant Chinese ink painting not only expands the aesthetic context of Chinese flower and bird painting in the new era, but also expands the vitality of the Chinese artistic spirit. More importantly, the aesthetic form of these paintings conveys the charm and warmth of the Orient to the world.
