Painter Du Xiaobo, one type of work is the work brush painting that shows the style of the farm courtyard: the other is the freehand painting that expresses the scenery of mountains and rivers. The former is mainly based on the expression of poultry and livestock, and there are also paintings in the environment of the front and back of the farmhouse; the latter is to collect the northern mountain scenery in the pen, showing a strong local flavor and unique cultural and regional characteristics. His brush strokes are rigorous, delicate and condensed. He insists on being close to life in a realistic form, and is keen to express the imprint of life and natural poetry of northern peasant families.
In particular, Du Xiaobo, with deep affection for his homeland, melted his soul in the snowy countryside of Yujie and Ice, discovered the beauty of the snow landscape itself and its aesthetic value, and poured decades of painstaking efforts to open up the northern scenery of snowy fields, snow mountains, snow trees and snow villages, creating one after another picture of the style of the snowy land, expressing his feelings for the era of the snow village cultural landscape of the northern mountain villages after the reform and opening up. This is a new realm of "snow landscape" to the contemporary era, which is the re-creation of the characteristics of the northern region. Du Xiaobo's paintings truly express the beauty of the unique snowy landscape in Northeast China, creating a new field of "snow landscape" from tradition to modernity.
Du Xiaobo, male, born in June 1962 in Baoli Town, Changtu, Liaoning Province, is a village man of the mountain, a native of Tianqiao Mountain, a cultivator of Yantian, and a man of Laomen. In 1988, he studied Chinese Painting at Lu Xun Academy of Fine Arts, where he taught Mr. Wang Shenglie and Sun Enping. He is currently a member of the China Artists Association: a member of the China Gongbi Painting Society, an academician of the China Ink Research Institute, and a director of the China Pastoral Landscape Painting Academy. Tieling City Literary Association full-time painter. Vice President of Tieling Zhongshan Painting Institute.
In 2002, he was awarded the "Outstanding Talent Award for Contemporary Chinese Painting" by the Ministry of Personnel of the People's Republic of China and published in more than 100 newspapers and magazines such as China Calligraphy and Painting News, Xizhi Calligraphy and Painting Newspaper, Shenzhou Poetry And Calligraphy And Painting Newspaper, Fine Arts Grand View, Chinese Art Garden, Chinese Painting Everyone, Fine Arts, Fine Arts, etc. His artistic achievements have been featured in several media outlets.
His works have been selected for more than 20 national exhibitions sponsored by the China Artists Association, and dozens of works have been collected by Chinese and foreign friends in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore and other major museums, memorials and related institutions across the country. He has held solo exhibitions in Anhui, Gansu, Shandong, Fujian and Guangdong, and in 2012, he was rated as one of the painters with the greatest collection appreciation potential by "Contemporary Art". In 2013, he published the painting collection "Du Bibo Volume of Art Research on Famous Artists in the 21st Century Chinese Painting Circle", which was published by Beijing Arts and Crafts Publishing House. "Chinese Artists Department - Du Xiaobo Volume", "Everyone Meteorology - Du Xiaobo Volume".
The landscape in Du Xiaobo's works is biased towards the natural landscape, derived from his in-depth life and realistic experience, mostly composed of horizontal and long shapes, sometimes with vertical axes or bucket squares. He felt that the banner composition was more conducive to showing the grandeur of the mountain dancing silver snake and the endless snow country swallowing the wilderness.
His materials are mostly snow-capped mountains, cold glaciers, layers of jade trees, snow-pressed cottages, with red lights hanging high, corn buildings, cooking smoke, magpies chirping, cattle and sheep whining... The vast realm of the highlands that day, the deep and reckless imagery, and the vibrant mountain scenery were different from the cold and desolate hermit landscapes of the ancients, and also different from the "ice and snow landscapes" that prevailed in the north today.
What Du Xiaobo strives to show is the eternal nature that is with human beings, and it is the place where the heartwarming and endless villagers inhabit. Therefore, the presentation of the snow country landscape in his pen does not need to refine too many pen and ink symbols, does not make an abstract treatment of vague impressions, from the perspective of parts and details, there is a sense of reality from the overall point of view of the work, and there is a high degree of synthesis and generalization, not only has no lack of nutrition of ancient snow landscapes, but also cleverly integrates the Western painting creation techniques including shape, light, color, light and shade, and organically integrates them into the traditional pen and ink system of freehand so that the picture is rich and rich in volume, quality and modern atmosphere.
It is worth emphasizing that Du Xiaobo's Chinese painting art, whether it is the expression of the four seasons of landscape or poultry and livestock, whether it is a brush or a freehand, his manuscript is taken from the countryside, rather than the work inherited by his predecessors, it is the product of experiencing life and collecting style and sketching, from the transcendent landscape of ancient literati to the natural inheritance of the real landscape, which has always been his pursuit and nourishment of the cultural character contained in the art of Chinese painting.
To get close to nature to the greatest extent possible - to express the theme and content, to maximize the beauty of nature - to express the style and method, not only let us smell the most ordinary and simple taste of the life of the villagers, but also let us show the spirit and style of art to achieve the main body in his vivid and vivid image shaping. Therefore, Du Xiaobo's landscape is the closest to the land, the most intimate and lovely, and the closest to the expression of the common people. Du Xiaobo is a man who has traditionally made a new appearance and expressed a new vision. Shows a lot of artistic potential.
