The art of calligraphy and painting is the most concentrated, most vivid and most concrete embodiment of the Chinese national culture. Calligraphy and painting have a long history, broad and profound, and contain rich treasures. A person who is good at learning calligraphy and painting can not only learn the knowledge and skills of calligraphy and painting, but more importantly, he can improve his aesthetic taste, cultural taste and spiritual realm. Zhang Yongqing is such a painter who has a persistent pursuit of calligraphy and painting and is good at learning.
Zhang Yongqing studied under Lu Ping, Ji Qingyuan and other famous artists, and studied at the Beijing Academy of Fine Arts. has always been a well-behaved person, a down-to-earth painter, and will not boast or exaggerate. After years of diligent study, the picture lines are natural and vivid, the color is elegant, the style is unique, and the personality is distinctive.
Zhang Yongqing is kind-hearted and simple and peaceful. Painting reaches a certain level, which is the embodiment of the realm rather than the display of skill, which is why his painting art can bring such a great shock to the viewer. He has always maintained the indifference and leisure of the traditional Chinese literati, the pure life without a trace of urban luxury, and he devoted himself to painting every day, and man and nature radiated a strange look under his brush, revealing vitality in peace, and flowing freely thinking ...... lifeHe perceives all things with a sincere and pure heart, and injects his thoughts and emotions into the pen, which contains philosophy, and shines with the aura of thought and the tension of life.
His enthusiasm for painting and calligraphy has reached the point of fascination, especially in figure painting, his favorite subject - Guan Gong.
Looking at Zhang Yongqing's Guan Gong paintings, there is a strong atmosphere of literati paintings. He attaches great importance to the sublimation of the theme of his works and the exploration of the connotation of his works. The spirit of "Guan Gong" of being loyal to the country, treating others with righteousness, dealing with the world with benevolence, and fighting bravely has been integrated into his blood, making him worship Guan Gong even more. The painting contains the middle context of the poem, and the poem contains the meaning of the painting. The spirit of valuing justice, righteousness and trustworthiness is vividly expressed. In his ink paintings, he broke the all-encompassing practice of folk painting, discarding all things that are secondary and not conducive to the expression of the theme, and making full use of the exaggerated techniques of modeling, so as to achieve the effect of winning more with less, and having both form and spirit.
