——Appreciation of Qu Jianwan's opera character porcelain plate painting
Text/Wang Shuo
The end of the year and the beginning of the year are always a pleasant time. A few days ago, I received a hand-painted porcelain plate of opera characters given by teacher Qu Jianwan, which was inevitably eye-catching, loved it, and couldn't help but always play with it after tea and dinner. Friends in the circle know that Mr. Qu Jianwan is an influential art educator in the field of fine arts, and is praised by the famous painter Mr. Liu Danzhai as "the pioneer of art teaching and research". In fact, he is also a good painter, but he prefers to humbly call himself an art teacher. As early as the 1980s, he was widely involved in the creation of different types of paintings such as ink painting, comic strips, and prints, absorbing a variety of nutrients, seeking the true meaning of art, and achieving remarkable results. Since then, he has mainly focused on art teaching and research, and he cannot enjoy painting, but teaching and research have accumulated a rich education for his calligraphy and painting. In the year of entering the flower armor, he was not only diligent in teaching art, but also picked up the paintbrush, and gradually entered a better state.

In recent years, Teacher Qu has been fascinated by opera, marveled at the moves and styles of opera characters, smiled and smiled, gradually became fascinated with Peking Opera, and naturally began to create opera character paintings. Speaking of opera painters, there are many artists of the older generation in China, such as Guan Liang, Han Yu, Gao Made, etc., who all pursue childlike fun with a playful mentality; their works are natural and unique, and it seems that graffiti is not simple. Teacher Qu's dramatic character paintings are different from these famous masters, he pursues great vulgarity and elegance, and his works are both figurative and abstract. His accurate grasp of the dynamics of opera characters and the interpretation and inheritance of their cultural meanings are beyond the reach of many people.

His dramatic characters have distinct personalities, different shapes and gods, with concise and free pen and ink, outline the contours of the character's appearance, and do not depict the five facial features like a portrait, but the image is vivid and vivid, beautiful and gentle, and looks interesting. Like the classic sculpture Venus with a Broken Arm, it pursues the mutilated beauty of the work. In a painting, there are often three or two figures, with different looks, vivid and natural, and simple and harmonious colors. The large area of white space on the composition does not put any background scene, but the sense of scene is extremely strong, giving the viewer a feeling of watching a comic strip, full of infinite imagination space. His unruly playing cards, "out of place", the sword is biased, forming a unique personal style.

Talking about the creation of opera characters on porcelain plates, Teacher Qu has a different feeling from ordinary painters. He is more of an aesthetic educator, and strives to explore the deep connotation of opera culture, and on the basis of inheriting tradition, integrate excellent opera culture into modern life. Let the painting art from above enter the homes of ordinary people, make the works of art care for real life, integrate into daily life, vigorously carry forward the educational idea of "art makes life better", and give traditional art a new meaning of the times; blend the dream of pear garden with ink and danqing, use pen and ink to pin the interest of opera, cultivate self-cultivation, and carry forward the spirit of traditional culture through painting. Teacher Qu's educational philosophy and artistic concept have always focused on the integration and integration of art and life, society and culture.
