In the past 40 years of reform and opening up, the survival mode of calligraphy art has completed the transformation from a bookstore to an exhibition hall, from literati to the public, and from private space to public space. And thus a fundamental transformation of creative methods, aesthetic methods and display spaces occurs.
The exhibition hall of the 12th National Exhibition Center
Contemporary calligraphy has become the art under the so-called "exhibition hall culture, exhibition era, and display consciousness", highlighting the functions of "visual", "form", "art" and "viewing". Since the creation of calligraphy in this new humanistic environment is concerned with the problems of artistic expression and lyricism and innovation, a calligraphy suitable for a new living environment and display mode, the so-called "exhibition body" calligraphy, naturally came into being.
The so-called "exhibition body" calligraphy is a style of calligraphy work that should be produced in conjunction with calligraphy exhibitions and events.
It is composed of some corresponding elements, such as large size, large volume, multi-color, multi-block segments, adding patches, grid cuts and other additional productions, highlighting the formal beauty and visual tension. "Exhibition body" calligraphy is not formed at once, nor is it the original invention of a few people, it is the product of the gradual formation of the collective consciousness and unconscious in today's book world. Having been formed, it is impossible to return to the pure simplicity of the previous white background and black characters.
"Exhibition body" calligraphy is a neutral word, not good or bad, but it is obvious that its purposefulness, utilitarianism and subjective desire are very strong, so there are many followers and flock to it. If the works that can be applied for can not only fully meet the rules and requirements of the exhibition and competition, but also highlight their profound calligraphy creation skills, not only can they coordinate the writing and decorative effects, but also do not show the traces of artificial axe chisels, and can reflect their own artistic ingenuity, of course, it is the best.
Exhibited works at the 12th National Exhibition
The exhibition era of today's calligraphy development will inevitably produce corresponding "exhibition body" calligraphy.
The emergence of "exhibition style" calligraphy marks the awakening of the style consciousness, expression consciousness and display consciousness of calligraphy creation today. "Exhibition body" calligraphy highlights and emphasizes the visual art attributes of calligraphy, it is the exploration of new forms of art from the standpoint of the exhibition era, it is the active grasp of calligraphy classics, and it gives new vitality and vitality to traditional calligraphy forms with new calligraphy visual forms.
Calligraphy has entered the "exhibition era", which is an irreversible trend, and it is impossible for calligraphy today to return to the elegant play and paradigm of traditional calligraphy.
The "exhibition body" calligraphy in the exhibition era has a very different creative concept from the traditional calligraphy creation concept.
Specifically, it is necessary to pay attention to strengthening the visual tension of the formal expression of calligraphy elements: for example, in the chapter, highlighting its design, artistic and craftsmanship characteristics, and exaggerating the black and white contrast effect; in the brushwork, highlighting the personalized texture of the dot painting and the alienated inheritance of the brushwork program, diluting the gesture relationship between the dot paintings; in the structure, highlighting the exaggerated deformation, deconstructing the classic style, in order to achieve a surprising winning effect.
The strengthening of the beauty of the spatial composition of the work and the weakening of the temporal beauty along the words and gestures make the calligraphy visibility of the "exhibition body" more prominent, and the readability takes a back seat. The strengthening of formal design and the weakening of natural writing also weaken the excellent quality of the original natural authenticity of traditional calligraphy. The production of forms other than techniques such as brushwork, calligraphy, chapters, and ink techniques in traditional calligraphy creation has been unusually enhanced.
summary:
From the pursuit of the "exhibition body" calligraphy, it can be roughly deduced that for a long time, the "exhibition body" calligraphy will also be in an advantageous position in various exhibition competitions. The aesthetic orientation of calligraphy will also continue to attach importance to the impact of formal beauty on vision, ignoring the temporal rhythmic beauty of carefully tasting brushwork.
Therefore, for the "exhibition body" calligraphy, we should have a clear understanding, can not ignore the existence of the "exhibition body" calligraphy, nor can we abandon the end of the book and blindly follow the trend.
