Mr. Anritsu is an enlightened sage, and his enlightenment lies in the fact that the subjective consciousness is strong in thinking and has concentration, as long as he sees things accurately, he will choose carefully and set a good direction for his love, which is particularly prominent on the road of artistic pursuit. Mr. Anritsu and I have been friends for decades and know him very well, and at first I found him to write well with pens, but later I knew that his calligraphy was extremely high, which made me sincerely admire. His artistic pursuit is the expansion of enlightenment, and from an early age he has shown a rare talent of his peers, which is the initiative of his own subjective initiative to control enlightenment, showing extraordinary talent. When he was a teenager, he began to practice calligraphy and painting, the comic strips he copied often made his classmates praise, in elementary school, he was a substitute for some teachers to copy big character newspapers, when he was in high school, he was catching up with the school education reform, and generally set up professional classes, and he naturally became a student of the art professional class. It can be said that since then, the brand of art has been deeply hit in the heart of the young Anritsu, in the hazy period of touching art, Anritsu has sprouted the love and pursuit of art, the yearning of "not forgetting the original heart", for the artistic achievements he has achieved today, consolidated the necessary cornerstone, and planted the seeds of ideals!
After joining the work, Mr. Anritsu stepped into the leadership position step by step, however, he was not self-satisfied and intoxicated, still did not change his original intention, after work he practiced calligraphy and painting, tirelessly persevered, year after year "hidden deeply" to adhere to artistic creation, insisted on decades, obsessively unchanged, his arduous artistic practice is not known, he is not silent or ostentatious. Faith in the heart, the road at the foot, "rope" in the hand, art melts the soul. Mr. Anritsu's calligraphy is timeless and beautiful, the paintings are full of charm, self-contained, outstanding achievements, but he has never been ostentatious, he has joined the China Artists Association and the Book Association, such a "double member", in the art world is rare, but few people know, Mr. Anritsu is so low-key but "tenacious"!
Life belongs to us, we should control our own life, according to our own choices, to complete the completion of life. There are too many important choices in life, you have to see your heart, choose accurately, the direction is clear, grasp the precision, you will go in the direction you choose, bravely move forward and achieve something! This, however, is often the hardest thing to do, and Mr. Anritsu has done it, and it has been done very well and well. He chose the dream he had pursued since he was a child, resolutely gave up the "status and power" that the world yearned for and envied, and chose "art", without hesitation, firm and bold! His deliberate choices made his dream of chasing art come true! In 2014, he was transferred back to Weihai from fifteen years of field work, and could have arranged for him to enter the "good unit", but he gave up, and he was arranged to the position of "chairman of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles", which puzzled many people and caused a lot of shocks. People in his hometown do not know that Mr. Anritsu's dream of "pursuing art" hidden in his heart is gradually "surfaced" and "first signs", and he is looking for a refuge in his soul. After decades of rich life accumulation, he wants to use all this to express it artistically, improve his "happiness index", dedicate himself to society with artistic achievements, and repay his hometown and fathers and fellow villagers. In this world, there is a beautiful flower that never withers, there is a great beauty that will never age with the passage of time, and this is art! Anritsu realized this.
Anritsu finally stood on the stage of art, "like a fish in the water" and "back to the sea". He began a new voyage, truly walking with art, weaving brilliant and colorful dreams with his own wisdom. When a person stands in the right position to engage in the cause he loves, his passion will "ten thousand horses galloping", "thunder and lightning", creating amazing miracles! In just over three years of serving as the chairman of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, Weihai's literary and artistic undertakings have been doing a good job, very improved, Mr. Anritsu's own literary and artistic accomplishment has also been significantly improved, he not only pays attention to the study of art theory, but also goes out to ask experts and masters for advice, goes deep into life, leads local painters to nature to sketch, "step all over the green mountains to search for Qi peaks, pen and ink Danqing into the painting screen." The gradual maturity of Anritsu's art is inseparable from the tempering of more than three years of art majors, and he has entered the world of art from an administrative leader, turned wonderfully, and become an excellent literary and artistic worker worthy of the name, stepping on the sonorous sound of the long road, becoming a real artist!
Embrace artistic life and present the texture of life. Anritsu's artistic career, step by step, solid and steady, step by step to maturity, even if "occasionally revealed", won influential awards, he still maintained a low-key nature, calmly deal with it. His works such as "Witness to the Land", "Melting One", and "Rising Tide" have won awards in important national art exhibitions and have had an important impact, but he has never been public, and this artistic attitude is rare and valuable, which is exactly where the concentration of an artist lies. The English poet Lake said: "The production of great works depends on the combination of people and landscapes, and it is impossible to achieve anything in the bustling city all day long." Anritsu learns Chinese painting, walks between mountains and rivers, runs in the wilderness and nature, feels the natural atmosphere, absorbs the nutrition of the earth, grows his roots deeply on the fertile soil of life, bursts inspiration in practice, and creates his own works.
Among Anritsu's many Chinese paintings, there is one work that left a deep impression on me, "Zen in the Rain", with free ink, exquisite composition, and profound meaning. In the painting, the clouds rise in the distance, the peaks rise, the temples and temples in the vicinity are filled with cigarette smoke, the towering trees cover the sky, and a monk wears a red robe, with his hands behind his back, marching towards the temple. The visual impact of this painting is extremely strong, and looking at its painting, it is as if you hear the loud and thick morning bell and the twilight drum, the monk's recitation of the sutra, into the rain of the water, suddenly a Zen feeling, the mood is calm and quiet. One day I talked to Mr. Anritsu about his feelings and love for this work, and he did not hesitate to give me this painting, which made me very moved. Whenever I admire this work, I often lament the charm of Mr. Anritsu's artwork, and let me feel the fiery temperature of this friendship. He is obsessed with the pursuit of art, and is passionately committed to the dissemination of art, never considering personal interests, Weigao Group to engage in a cultural activity, he took the initiative to undertake the task of calligraphy works, the "Weigao Pavilion Sequence" was written into a long volume of more than ten meters, regardless of the remuneration to the Weigao Group collection, commendable!
Expanding the artistic space is to transcend the self-enrichment and fullness of art. Breaking new ground to broaden the artistic space is Mr. Anritsu's initiative and self-consciousness in the process of pursuing art, a spiritual realm that transcends the self, and also a self-pressure to enrich the self and make the art more full. Once again, he made the choice of art category, the search for the true meaning of art in integrated material painting. I originally knew that his calligraphy and Chinese painting art were very high, but the art of comprehensive material painting was not known, once at the invitation of Mr. Anritsu, I went to his studio to drink tea and chat, after coming to the studio, I saw a series of comprehensive material painting artworks, flashing colorful light, dazzling, shocking me! He asked me to give advice, and I read the works carefully, the waves, the tides, the reefs, the sea breezes, the seas and the seas... The art world of the sea! "It was amazing!" I was sincerely impressed, and Mr. Anritsu smiled and said, "It's too prestigious."
During the conversation, I learned that he had been studying the art of integrated material painting for more than a decade, and the "transformation" had turned very well, and every work I saw was very "mature and sophisticated", which can be described as a masterpiece. Anritsu said that in the future, it will continue to make bold explorations in the art of comprehensive materials and position the theme as "the sea". I deeply agree, we were born by the sea, grew up by the sea, the sea is the cradle of life, the sea is the complex of dependence, the sea is the spirit of endless life, and the sea is the inspiration for passionate creation! I felt as if I had touched Anritsu's inner world and felt the fiery burning of his artistic pursuits. In just a few years, Anritsu's artistic creation has developed by leaps and bounds, and its achievements in comprehensive material art have been selected twice into the "National Comprehensive Materials Painting Exhibition", the "Eighth International Art Biennale in Beijing, China", and the "Thirteenth National Fine Arts Exhibition".
Anritsu could not contain the passion of the inner world, he decided to hold a comprehensive material painting art exhibition of his own, in his words, "ugly daughter-in-law always wants to see her in-laws", showing his works, in order to ask experts for advice, let everyone judge, put forward opinions "pointing out the mystery", so that he can more clearly and firmly orient himself on the future artistic road. In November 2020, the "World's Ocean Ocean World - Anritsu Comprehensive Material Painting Exhibition" was reopened at the Art Museum of the China International Cultural Exchange Center in Beijing, which alarmed Beijing and was a complete success, and Mr. Zuo Zhongyi, member of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress and former vice chairman of the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles, was invited to attend and gave high praise. Hu Wei, director of the Comprehensive Material Painting Art Committee of the China Artists Association, personally attended the opening ceremony and delivered a speech, he said: "Anritsu's art research reflects his courage and achievements in the pursuit of the spiritual expression of the work, he can find ways and methods suitable for the expression of the theme in the variety of material techniques, thanks to the long-term accumulation of technology, it is also a kind of artistic return, like born from the heart, after vientiane returns to the heart, everything becomes natural, everything comes from nature and deepens in nature." "This exhibition further witnesses Anritsu's artistic talents and shows the flickering and beating of his artistic inspiration." Albert Einstein said, "Genius is ninety-nine percent sweat, plus one percent inspiration." However, this one percent inspiration is more important than ninety-nine percent sweat."
"The most reliable in the world is always its own height". Mr. Anritsu's artistic attainments have entered a new opportunity for development, but also climbed to a new height, his artistic achievements, pushed him to the high ground in the field of art, shouldering responsibility, Mr. Anritsu is currently the vice chairman of the Shandong Folk Writers Association, the director of the Shandong Provincial Book Association, the deputy director of the Lettering Hard Pen Committee, the chairman of the Weihai Calligraphers Association and the director of the Weihai Artists Association Comprehensive Materials Art Committee and other positions in the art world, all of which are fully affirming his artistic level. The pursuit of art is always on the road, art needs to have a deep dialogue with the times, it needs to be interdependent with life, and it needs to interact closely with society. I believe that Mr. Anritsu will have a more exciting dialogue with the times, a deeper integration with life, and a more active interaction with society on the road of artistic pursuit in the future! Climb to the top of the art world and enjoy the infinite scenery!
