On February 6th, Yao Jurong, a painter from Spring City who traveled all over the world, had a discussion with local calligraphy and painting artists at the Four Seasons Residence Hotel in Weiyang District, Xi'an City, to welcome the New Year. The calligraphy and painting artists who participated in the event are: Yao Jurong, Li Zhenzhong, Lu Li, Zhang Wenjin, Li Hongxing, Zhang Tianling, Fang Gang, Wu Jianping, Fan Jianfeng, Zhao Jun, Dong Yafeng, Jia Shujuan, Wu Yongzheng, Gu Minfeng, Zhang Yongjun, Jing Yuguang, Fo Jin, Hu Xiaohong, Wei Chunsheng, Zhou Fengchuan, etc.
Yao Jurong first introduced her artistic experience, she loved painting since she was a child, and became a professional painter after hardships. Her works are novel in composition and rich in color, and are loved by collectors and art lovers at home and abroad.
Lu Li is a young and promising calligrapher, and her works are highly praised for her strong pen and vivid spirit. Fang Gang is a talented oil painter whose works have both classical charm and modern innovation. Wu Jianping is a painter of flowers and birds, and her artistic conception of flowers and birds is far-reaching and intoxicating.
In the discussion and exchange, everyone jointly understood the essence of art and the future development direction. Yao Jurong said that with the development of the times, art is also constantly evolving and innovating, and artists need to maintain keen insight and creativity to constantly innovate. Lu Li believes that art is the sustenance and expression of the soul, and artists should pay attention to social reality and human destiny, and use art to convey positive energy. Fang Gang emphasized the importance of cross-border integration of art, and he believed that different art forms can inspire and learn from each other to produce richer artistic effects.
Mr. Li Zhenzhong was deeply impressed by Mr. Yao Jurong's works. He said that Chinese landscape painting has always been inseparable from five words: hook and rub and dye dots. However, Ms. Yao Jurong is unique, showing her unique style to everyone without reservation from a civilian perspective. Her grandeur and selflessness are like a heavenly opportunity that cannot be revealed, but she does not hesitate to give it all out and serve everyone. In the hands of Yao Jurong, she not only broke through the traditional five-character painting method, but also highly refined the modern painting method of landscape painting. In Xi'an, and even in the whole country, she is unique. She is talented, and every stroke is wonderful, which makes people marvel. Her mastery of ink color, the use of dry, wet, thick and dry, have all reached the state of perfection. In terms of conception, she has a mountain of confidence, exquisite composition, and emphasizes the importance of points, lines and planes. Her face is represented at the head of the landscape, the lines are represented on the slopes, valleys, ridges, and water, and the dots are expressed on the trees, water, and grass. She skillfully shapes the details of the landscape with dots, lines and planes, making the picture delicate and nuanced. At this point, she truly became a role model for everyone to follow.
Through this discussion and exchange, everyone said that they had gained a lot and had a deeper understanding of art. Under the leadership of Yao Jurong and other outstanding artists, I believe that more outstanding works and talents will emerge in the Chinese art world in the future, and make greater contributions to the inheritance and development of Chinese culture.
