Go with the swan cloud layman (1).
Song Fengguang, Zhang Jinping, and Yuan Lin painted Rongcheng Swan Lake.
Editor's note: In the middle of the first month, the sky is full of water, everything sprouts, and spring is getting closer and closer.
Recently, the famous painters Song Fengguang, Zhang Jinping and Yuan Lin came to Rongcheng on the shore of the Yellow Sea to collect wind and create works on the shore of Swan Lake, observing nature and life with the eyes of artists, and listening to the sound of rain at the intersection of winter and spring. Exactly, the reed flowers are shining with the remnant snow, and the snow is known to be spring.

The elegant and delicate swan in the eyes of the world has added a bit of vicissitudes and maturity to Song Fengguang's pen.
Indeed, a large bird that migrates thousands of kilometers as soon as it sets off is certainly not delicate. They are not easy to live, and the struggling posture in Yin Kai's "Eagle Striking Swan" in the Ming Dynasty has pierced the hearts of countless people for hundreds of years. Before modern times, there were not many Chinese paintings about swans, probably because they were fat and not as agile as waterfowl such as cranes and herons. The swan's close relative, the goose, was once favored by Wang Xizhi, and Zhao Ji of Song Huizong also painted it. Without these things, it would be even more difficult for geese to get along with art.

All feelings, face to face. Even Song Fengguang, who is good at painting birds, was shocked to see a large flock of white swans swimming, taking off, soaring, dancing and even fighting. After returning from Rongcheng Swan Lake, Song Fengguang described what he saw. He admires the feeling of white feathers blending with the sea: "The sparkling waves, like jade beads and silver threads shining on the sea, can not help but make people sigh at the beauty of nature, and at the same time give us the beauty of art." ”
Song Fengguang's artistic language is not similar to anyone else. Who would have imagined that there would be a hue that would be intense but not greasy, pure and raw, as strong and transparent as decades of ageing?

It is not only the color that is strong and transparent, but also the use of lines, the shape and the pen power in the writing, and the personality, and the sense of power is not inconsistent with the swan. In "Blooming Snow Lotus", we see the slightly tougher backs of swans, which are so strong that we can feel the muscles under the feathers. Not far away, there is snow on the reeds and cattails, and the reeds in the snow crevices are warm and seem to be alive.
I have never seen anyone paint swans and their lives like this.
In the theory of Chinese painting, the concept of artistic conception is open, as if all artistic individuality comes from "prejudice", and "prejudice" is self-inflicted. In addition to the observation of objective objects and painting techniques, "God" is the life of the painter. Liu An of the Western Han Dynasty said: "Those who take God as the master are subject to profit; Those who are form-oriented, God is harmful. The form stands with God, and God must exist in form. "Emphasizing both form and spirit. The basic understanding of the painter comes from the form, and the sublimation of personality goes to the "god", and then the "prejudice" relative to each other forms the artist's respective artistic appearance.

Moisturizing things silently" Song Fengguang.
Song Fengguang's understanding of form is solid, which is the key support point for him to retract and release freely. He believes that the painter is moved by the real appearance of the object, which is very concrete and microscopic. He observed the relationship between the swan's feet, the relationship between the eyes and the beak, and the relationship between the wings and the neck.
Su Shi believes that painting is a kind of expression rather than reproduction, and it is on this road of expression that Song Fengguang struggles to seek, and has produced countless times the distress of "having a galloping momentum, hating and agitating (Gu Kai's words)", and finally became himself today.
Mountaineering is full of love in the mountains, and watching the sea is overflowing in the sea, and the feeling here is not only the inspiration of the painter, but also the reflection on the relationship between nature and human beings. Song Fengguang said. He hopes that the swans will always have a destination when they travel thousands of miles, and the artistic soul who is also running on the road should be the same.
