At the fourth congress of the Tai'an Calligraphers Association held not long ago, Gao Jian, a calligrapher from Ningyang, was elected as the vice chairman of the Tai'an Calligraphers Association.
Gao Jian, the word Tianxing, Shandong Tai'an Ningyang people. He is currently a member of the Chinese Calligraphers Association, a member of the Shandong Printing Society, a member of the Calligraphy Committee of the China Couplet Society, a director of the Shandong Youth Calligraphy Association and a member of the Seal Committee, the vice chairman of the Tai'an Youth Calligraphers Association, the deputy secretary-general of the Dongyue Printing Society, the president of the Ningyang Young Calligraphers Association, and the president of the Lingyun Painting and Calligraphy Institute.
Gao Jian has been fond of calligraphy since childhood, and under the guidance of his uncle, he opened a door to the road of art. After worshipping under the famous calligraphy seal carver Mr. Duan Yupeng, he devoted himself to art, collected widely, and wrote in the tablet, and achieved enviable achievements and won many honors. His works have won nearly 100 awards in the calligraphy exhibition competition sponsored by the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles, the China Calligraphy Association, and the Xiling Seal Society. Dozens of newspapers and periodicals such as "Public**" Calligraphy Newspaper, "China Calligraphy and Painting Newspaper", "Calligraphy Herald" have made special editions of art introductions or published works, and some of his works have been collected by museums, art galleries, academies and other art institutions and people from all walks of life.
He is proficient in calligraphy, seal carving and Chinese painting, calligraphy to seal script and official book is good, the official book takes the law of Shimen Song and Zhang Qian Monument, both the opening of Shimen Song is smart, and Zhang Qian's steady and strong, with the pen fine, the strokes are smart and eternal, its knot is clever in clumsy, the attitude is ancient, quiet and smart, frank and romantic. His calligraphy successfully borrowed from the penmanship of seal carving, which is even more obvious.
It has to be vigorous and powerful, full of charm.
Gao Jian's seal carving works are also very unique, not only have "heroic and elegant calligraphy brushwork, but also have beautiful and pleasing painting compositions, and have both the vivid carving charm of the knife". The ancients said: "Reading can cure customs", he loves reading very much and improves his personal artistic quality. Mr. Lin Peng said: "To write, engrave seals, and engage in traditional culture is to read books and have a consciousness of traditional Chinese culture. He continued to practice, learn, and revise on the road of art, and so on repeatedly, whether it was from his calligraphy, seal carving and Chinese painting, he worked hard to express his spiritual world, and constantly explored the deep mineral deposits of art.
Gao Jian believes that learning from the ancients should not only stop at the precise resemblance of the shape, structure and layout of the dot painting, but also pay attention to the texture and characteristics of the dot painting line of the ancients, feel the subtle changes in the emotion and mood in the writing process, and understand the speed, strength, rhythm, space, ink color, joint, virtual and real when writing, etc., and bring out new ideas in the law, and place the magic in the boldness.
Although the book is a small road, it also leads to the avenue. It is with his tenacious will that Gao Jian uses his artistic practice to convey his agitation and perception of the ontology of life on the difficult and tortuous "path" of calligraphy art.
He advocates the Northern Song Dynasty Mi Fu "stable and not vulgar, dangerous and not strange, old and not dry, moist not fat" artistic point of view, the distribution of calligraphy, structure, with the pen, has a unique understanding, in order to pursue the unity of change. In his creation, he attaches great importance to the overall charm, takes into account the details, and combines the opposing factors such as wrapping and hiding, fat and thinness, sparseness and density, simplicity and complexity.
His pursuit of art is meticulous and demanding, "I want to make my calligraphy more traditional, and I also want to have an obvious personal calligraphy art style and a strong charm of gold and stone." This is Gao Jian's creative principle, and it is also the goal he has always pursued, and because of this, his works have a personal style.
Gao Jian deeply realized that calligraphy is a kind of compositional art, the brush is an extension of the fingers, and the sharpness, slowness, flying, and frustration of the pen depend on the restraint and venting of emotions and emotions; Calligraphy is a kind of expressive art, which can quietly reflect a person's experience, knowledge, cultivation, personality, etc. The "law" of calligraphy originates from the "principle" of calligraphy. It doesn't make sense, and it's a waste of years.
Appreciating Gao Jian's calligraphy works, from the perspective of its writing content, writing form, pen and ink taste, etc., whether it is poetry, couplets, songs, regular script, cursive script, official script, or bucket squares, fans, banners, all of them reflect the profound cultural heritage, all contain the nourishment of literature, aesthetics and other arts, and also reflect his erudition and cultivation. His works are old and spicy, the atmosphere is strange and stubborn, such as mountains and flowing water, like thousands of horses galloping, in line with heaven, disgusted with people's wishes, the style is fresh and elegant, calm and dignified, and the taste of gold and stone is very strong. From his works, what we also feel is his hidden and all-encompassing brushwork, which is extremely lyrical and artistic.
The beauty of shape, structure and rich connotation of Chinese characters have endowed calligraphy itself with erotic beauty, artistic beauty and profound artistic conception, which have influenced the ideological sentiments, moral codes, behavioral norms and thinking patterns of generations of Chinese. Gao Jian is no exception. Through long-term calligraphy practice, he consciously cultivated artistic quality, cultivated moral sentiments, purified the soul, and continuously improved his humanistic qualities.
Art knows no bounds, and exploration is endless. Gao Jian is still very young, and we expect him to achieve greater and more artistic achievements in the exploration of calligraphy art and climb to a higher artistic peak.
