——Watching Mo Songnian's sculpture works

Wassily Kandinsky, a master of modern art theory, said: "The harmony of color and form, in the strict sense of the word, must be based only on the principle of touching the human soul." "The same is true of sculpture, whose value and character lie in individuality and creativity. A good sculpture often comes from the depths of the artist's soul, is infectious, can stand up to scrutiny, and makes people have endless memories.

I got to know Mr. Mo Songnian from his sculptures. I remember once in a sculpture exhibition in Guangzhou, I saw one of his works - "Mountains and Flowing Water", the composition of an ancient master, indulged in the rhyme of the strings, the expression is leisurely, the demeanor is calm and detached, the sculpture adopts freehand techniques, like the freehand brushwork of Chinese painting and Chinese calligraphy, chic and natural; The composition is treated with exaggerated shapes, an arch that integrates nature and artistic conception, and from the ethereal state, Coats's state of mind and soul seem to have melted into the mountains and rivers, heaven, earth and the universe. When I stopped in front of this work, the realm of it also guided my mind to travel through the mountains and rivers, which left a deep impression on me.

Through Mr. Mo's works, I was able to appreciate the author's unique aesthetic feelings, and later I also had the opportunity to continue to appreciate his other works, and I was able to understand his creative ideas and the personalized aesthetic realm of his works, and I also saw his continuous achievements.

Loving life with heart, experiencing life, and working diligently and passionately are the success of Mr. Mok, and it is also the common characteristic of all successful artists. Rodin once said with deep feeling: "In the eyes of the artist, everything is beautiful, because in anyone and everything, his sharp eye can discover the 'character', in other words, the inner truth revealed under the appearance, and this truth is beauty itself." ”

Mr. Mo is straightforward, sincere, helpful, and full of love for life. This attitude towards life is reflected in his art. His sculpture creation, like to use the "shape with the form, follow the shape of the shape" technique, a bit of a natural generation of feeling, he always does not want to do like a handicraft, smooth and smooth, regular.

He likes Chinese painting, and in his sculptures, he has always tried to put some things of Chinese painting into the creation of sculptures, and use freehand techniques to sculpt the brush and ink taste of Chinese literati. The study of the calligraphy of Chinese painting is exquisite, skillfully using some accidental effects and natural blank spaces, and combining the sculpture forms in the creation, leaving people with a broader space for thinking in the virtual and real. In the series of creating lotus, his work "Ai Lian Said" uses some accidental effects in sculpture, which naturally leaves blank, making the sculpture very ethereal. In the creation of "Dream Jiangnan", he also used this purely accidental and natural mud form to compose a beautiful picture.

Most of his creations are to express women's themes, using women's beauty, expressing the beauty of nature, expressing the beauty of the soul, reflecting the static beauty and delicate charm of women's innocence, and using a variety of compositions and figurative freehand techniques to depict those things in the hearts of girls or women: tenderness and sweetness, like wine and tea, rich but fragrant. His representative works include "October Phoenix", "Silk Language", "Dunhuang Cold Moon", "Silver Dream" and so on. With the unique aesthetic feelings of Chinese literati, he adds the artistic conception of Chinese painting in a concrete way, so that each sculpture has the feeling of spring and snow, and at the same time, he also expresses his own yearning and expectation, such as "Inspiration", "Moonlight", "The Ugly Duckling" and other works bathed in traditional humanistic customs. He likes horses, lotuses, and other elements that embody Chinese style, and in this kind of theme creation, aesthetic is his pursuit, and changeable compositions are his requirements. He uses figurative and freehand techniques to create sculptures, confessing his feelings and attitudes towards all things in the world, and expressing his inner thoughts by expressing the things and things around him.

He doesn't want to be like some people who keep repeating the symbol once they find it. I don't want to do a symbolic art life. He believes that the artist's sense of touch should be keen, the reaction should be strong, and he will not turn a blind eye to everything in the world, and each life has different life experiences and ideas, and he feels very happy to be able to sculpt those views and attitudes in his own way.

Using the realm of Chinese painting in the past dynasties, absorbing the modeling concept and freehand spirit of Chinese painting, and combining the techniques of Western impressionism, his sculptures are more poetic and picturesque, such as the works "Dunhuang Cold Moon" and "Erquan Reflecting the Moon". In 2013, I deliberately selected one of his works, "Silver Dream", a young girl in a dream to express the natural and beautiful dynamics of human nature, fully expressing the purity and noble beauty of human nature. The work was unanimously praised in the United States.

Modern Chinese sculpture art is basically a foreign product influenced by the West. However, in fact, the freehand form of literati painting or ink painting that was popular in China during the Ming and Qing dynasties had a certain enlightening effect on the formation of the "impressionist" school born in the West in the 19th century. At present, the development of art is in a period of "universalism", that is, human beings have begun to care about how people and the world coexist, and this value has brought art into a period of pluralism. Mr. Mo's love for life is like the aesthetic love of literati in the past: white snow in spring, clear ice and jade, high mountains and flowing water, mountains and mountains. The pursuit of beauty in the state of mind, as well as the embodiment of his personalized life, will make him successful in this era of individualization.

Diligence makes up for shortcomings.

——On Mo Songnian and his sculptures

Mo Songnian is a young and middle-aged sculptor with a small achievement in the Lingnan area. His sculptures combine solid realistic modeling skills with romantic poetic paintings. He is not only good at realistic portrait sculpture, but also well-known in the field of freehand sculpture!

I think there are several reasons why his sculpture art has been able to achieve such achievements today: First of all, he attaches great importance to the craft of sculpture and the training in his own hands. In artistic creation, sculpture is actually a handicraft work, if the sculptor does not have the manual skills of excellence, there is no appropriate sculpture form language, even if the sculptor has ingenious emotions and concepts, it is difficult to achieve something. When studying with Mr. Zhong Zhiyuan, he stood out with his solid craftsmanship and attracted the attention of the industry. After becoming famous, he never slackened his craftsmanship, so that his sculptures have always maintained the characteristics of meticulousness.

Secondly, Mo Songnian is also good at learning, he has repeatedly studied traditional Chinese folk sculpture and the masterpieces of Western sculpture masters, absorbing nutrients from them for my use. He realized that the formal language of sculpture must be both divine and formal, and it must be vivid and appealing in order to be expressed to the audience. He was a sculptor who was very particular about the beauty of form. In addition, he lives in Lingnan, and the customs and artistic traditions of Lingnan have nurtured him, and his sculptures have the characteristics of Lingnan art, but at the same time, he also pays attention to the stylistic characteristics of northern sculpture with a broad vision. His works are beautiful and imposing, elegant and ......strong
