autobiography
Text / Zhang Jianjian
Art comes from life. Every painter has his own living environment, in other words, the painter's work is often inseparable from the influence of his own environment. The "Glimpse Series" is my most important series in the past two years. The five-year national fine art exhibition is a national authoritative and comprehensive exhibition, I did not deliberately seek the subject matter, but continued the usual creative ideas, this series of works has two participated in this national art exhibition, one in the comprehensive painting exhibition area (works in Beijing), the other in the oil painting exhibition area.
The formation of the idea of the work "A Glimpse Series" is actually a moment in my life that I was suddenly touched by, and the role of my own literati and friends around me are mostly the same situation, the convergence of taste orientation. It is a friend who draws, but in fact, it is also a painting of oneself. In ancient times, there were various collections of literati and celebrities, who were rich in experience and erudite, and now there are also talented gentlemen and talents. I often sleepwalk in the ancient world, and in reality, I also shuttle through the literati dojo, constantly being enlightened and constantly being educated. Yun Nantian, a master of calligraphy and painting in the Qing Dynasty, said, "The group must seek the same", and a group must have the same. I, too, am widely nourished in this group. After returning from studying in Hamburg, I deeply felt that the Western oil painting system was different from the Chinese oil painting system. I studied traditional Chinese culture more and more, and then I reflected on myself. Wu Guanzhong's ancestors have already made great achievements on the road of integration of Chinese and Western oil painting, and now Chinese oil painting is prosperous and in the best era. How to further push Chinese oil painting to a new height is the pursuit of our generation. As an individual painter, the profound essence of the culture of the past is undoubtedly my nutrition, without the nourishment of the traditional Chinese cultural heritage, the source of creation will be exhausted.
In terms of painting methods, I am used to mobilizing the enthusiasm of the sensibility. "A Glimpse Series" first shows a strong aerial perspective in the layout, creating a moment that is not deliberate, repeatedly adjusting the viewing angle on the sketch, and the sensitive visual nervous system enters the layout at the moment of being touched. This is also the premise of creative success or failure. In addition, when it comes to painting, I have a dual personality. I sucked in the nourishment of the cultural heritage of my predecessors, fascinated by the experience of the academy in directly facing the object of realism, but also could not let go of the philosophical thinking caused by the new construction order of contemporary painting. Obviously, in this era of information explosion and image flooding, I have lost my sense of security and eventually felt tired. So I hid in the studio and instinctively vented the "literary tone" and "writing" in the bones of Chinese painters. I am accustomed to expressing the content of the picture with thick piles of paint and powerful brushstrokes, by controlling the psychological level and visual angle of the images derived from nature, to present the rhythm of the picture, enhance my academic cognition and emotional experience, and use passionate bristle brushes and scrapers to divide the connection between nature, human nature, society, etc. It tells about the value of "seeing".
Regarding the creation methodology of the "One Glance Series", I use the direct drawing method. Freud's relevant theories have had a profound influence on the creation of domestic oil painters, and his straightforward way of painting is exactly in line with the traditional Chinese "writing" (calligraphy). I often make a thick bottom on the canvas, and start to paint parts before the base color has dried, so that the brush is more fluent when painting, the color blend is more natural, and the painting traces can be directly presented to the audience and emphasize the "painting flavor". In terms of viewing methods, first of all, we must see the "object image" in our hearts, and then "write" on the canvas, I relish the surprise encountered on the canvas, the process of "writing" is like calligraphy creation, and the traces of writing are very "painting".
"Learning from the West to the East, Painting from the West to the East", Teacher Xu Jiang believes that what really makes the Chinese people anxious is how to adhere to the root relationship of "middle school as the body, Western learning as the use". The creative process is undoubtedly difficult, both to have a sense of vigilance (pure oil painting taste) that oil painting comes from the Western identity, and to base itself on Eastern culture in the depths of the heart. As an individual painter, only by rationally absorbing and studying Western oil painting and basing on its own situation, learning the essence of our own nation, and dialogue with the contemporary situation, can we constantly break through ourselves.
The generation of "post-80s" painters, as the first generation of young people after the reform and opening up of New China, has gradually entered maturity. In the new era, I reflect on how as a painter I can express my artistic expression of the development of today's society in order to give back to society. The study experience abroad has broadened my horizons. The creative methodology of teachers and friends at home and abroad deeply affected me, the lectures of Zao Wou-Ki, Unen and other ancestors inspired me to re-find the possibility of painting, the practice of German neo-expressionism opened up my creative ideas, I thanked the attention and attention of painters in this era, and at the same time warned myself not to forget my original intention, with the love of oil painting, strive to learn the oil painting ontology language advocated by the predecessor painters, and bravely climb the peak on the road of creation.
