Ge Yan, whose ancestral home is Zhongshan, Anhui, has loved calligraphy since childhood, and studied under the famous calligraphers Zhou Huijun and Mr. Ouyang Zhongshi.
He is currently a member of the Chinese Calligraphers Association; Vice President of Minsheng Calligraphy and Painting Art Institute of People's Daily Minsheng Weekly Magazine, Visiting Professor of Qingdao Qiushi College, China, Member of Hong Kong Calligraphers Association; Art Consultant of China Famous Calligraphy and Painting Network Art Committee; Researcher, Chinese Calligraphy Art Research Center; Vice President of Confucius Painting Institute of China; Vice Chairman of Shandong List Writers Association; Chairman of Heze List Writers Association; Invited Visiting Professor of The Academy of Fine Arts of Shandong Heze University.
Ge Yan practiced calligraphy and was immersed in the traditional art of calligraphy, visiting famous posters throughout the ages, especially writing, and learning many calligraphy masterpieces such as Han Jian, Han Li, Wei Bei, etc., eclectically and naturally integrated. A variety of books can be seen in one word, the pen and ink are smooth, and the teacher is not muddy. His works have beautiful style, majestic and straight fonts, free and free strokes, free and free use of lifting and pressing, there are twists and turns, strokes are ups and downs, square and round, rigid and soft, Yu Yanli is in the midst of vigor, both traditional and innovative, showing a unique artistic personality and style, for contemporary powerful calligraphers.
His works have participated in national calligraphy exhibitions and won awards for many times, and have been given as a national gift to friends at home and abroad, and have been collected by dignitaries and celebrities in Japan, South Korea, the United States, Canada, Singapore, France, Italy, Spain, Sweden, the United Arab Emirates, South Africa, Mongolia and other countries.
Calligraphy is an art that can be described as "benevolent people see benevolence, wise people see wisdom", can not be generalized, Guan Ge Yan's calligraphy works, his calligraphy works fully reflect the calligraphy solemn, smooth, strong, ancient and clumsy. His calligraphy is dignified and free, imposing, thick and calm, dignified and atmospheric, not seeking state but not being prepared, not seeking beauty but beauty in it. Mr. Ge Yan's calligraphy pays attention to calligraphy, brushwork, and chapters. Orthography; The gathering points are drawn into words, "balanced symmetry, harmonious contrast, appropriate primary and secondary, dense and moderate, diverse and unified."
Mr. Ge Yan's book can be described as the essence. The first is "Chang": the pen is ups and downs, the law is leisurely, the pen is sloppy, and it is naturally self-contained. There is a sense of "appreciating the heart of heaven and earth, pushing the love of saints, and covering the rhyme of famous artists". Its dual "qi": Ge Yan's calligraphy, the flow of qi, the momentum is magnificent, the qi rhyme is thick, and the ink is not limited to the law. As the ancient Shen Zongjian expounded on qi in the "Compilation of Paintings on the Study of Mustard Boats": "The accumulation of the natural qi of the things under the heavens, that is, like mountains and rivers, self-respecting hills and mountains, so that a tree and a stone, all have vitality through it, it is complex but not chaotic, less is not dry, and the combination is unified, and the division is formed separately." All things are different, all things are different, in short, the one who unifies the qi to show the interest of its activity is the so-called potential. "
From theory to practice, from scholars to scholars, here mr. Ge Yan, is to first lay a deep foundation in the humanistic realm, and then through the art form of calligraphy, it naturally arises into the spiritual creative activities of modern scholars, and naturally carries the deep genes of the spirit of Chinese culture and Chinese art - retreat and solitude; The so-called internal obstacles, the outside of nothing to ask for, is only with the development of their own learning, the itinerary of life corresponding to the things, and there is no binding, no solution, free and transparent, no heart and perfection in the Tao. In this way, we can trace back to the source, reconstruct the root nature, on the basis of a deep understanding of the essence of traditional calligraphy, and then through the process of synthesis, development and mutation of the practice of dedication that falls into the daily life and belongs to the practice of cultivation, transcends the traditional procedure, integrates the ancient and modern calligraphy, infiltrates the individual talents, is silent, accumulates thick and thin, and becomes a modern writing that is very interesting to Chinese culture and wind and god, and is full of the main spirit and artistic personality.
In the history of China, the cultural nostalgia of the pre-Qin zhuzi and the attitude of the Wei and Jin scholars have jointly laid the foundation for the glory of Tang poetry, Song Ci and Yuan Qu, and in the same way, it is the cultural nostalgia of the pre-Qin Zhuzi, the attitude of the Wei Jin people, and the glory of the Song Ci and Yuan Qu that have jointly created the immortal achievements of Ming and Qing calligraphy, and the path that Mr. Ge Yan's calligraphy walks is precisely the continuous practice of walking on the right vein of Chinese culture, so based on his character, education, skills, and, based on the height he has now reached in art We believe that he will definitely achieve more and greater achievements in the future, so as to live up to the current Chinese culture.
