Painting Shou Chengxin Warm and smooth
——Remembering the famous painter Wei Shangqin
In the current painting world, although there are many painters who can paint traditional flowers and birds, there are very few painters who can truly embody the realm of flowers and birds and understand the essence of flowers and birds. The reason for this situation is nothing more than two points, one is because the painter's cultivation of traditional culture is lacking, and the other is because the painter's creation is too stylized, and the work does not reflect its own aesthetic spirit and artistic concept at all. However, today, when we look back at the works of the famous painter Ms. Wei Shangqin, we can fully feel her own self-shaping of traditional flower and bird culture and spiritual reproduction! It has a deep aesthetic understanding of natural flowers and birds, and also has a very high image presentation for the pen and ink context, and at the same time, it is precisely thanks to these multi-faceted creative elements that Ms. Wei Shangqin's flower and bird works will set up a distinctive elegant wind mark in the current painting world! Elegant and popular, outstanding!
In the traditional Danqing creation theme, flowers, birds and peonies have always been one of the classic themes loved by literati painters of all generations, and the natural elegance it has also formed a certain relationship with the traditional Danqing culture, coupled with the further sublimation of freehand, the work can show a deep elegance, ease and smooth gentleman's artistic conception! Today, when we admire Ms. Wei Shangqin's many peony paintings, we can fully feel the literati cultivation and natural feelings conveyed by her paintings! In terms of technique, Ms. Wei Shangqin completely maintains the traditional pen and ink movement method, including the harmony of ink color, she also maintains the natural aesthetic in line with the public as much as possible. Therefore, from this point of view alone, Ms. Wei Shangqin's pen and ink method definitely belongs to the orthodox vein, both the grasp of the root of the traditional spirit and the comprehensive pursuit of the natural source! The ancient seeks the present, and the rhythm is pure!
In the structural layout and inner rhyme of the work, Ms. Wei Shangqin also follows the natural aesthetic consciousness and feelings, not dominated by creation, but dominated by the source of the heart, the pen is born from the heart, the ink is stretched by the intention, the heart intersects, and the painting is complete! And this is one of the reasons why her many peony works make people feel a kind of spiritual charm! Rich in connotation but not lost in the degree of law, simple in shape and meaning but not lost in elegance, there is a sense of ethereal beauty like the fragrance of the national color, and there is also a pure feeling like a long literary feeling! There is no sweet charm, no abrupt dullness, only to show the elegance and customs of the common appreciation, involved in the pen into fun!
The painting is clear, warm and smooth. The most precious artistic quality of an artist is that he can maintain a relatively independent creative thinking, not sticking to the ancient, not following the tide, the so-called pen and ink when the times, that is! Today's Ms. Wei Shangqin's Danqing achievements are obviously a model of pen and ink that is well versed in tradition and closely follows the times! The Law does not live up to the times, the merit does not deceive the world, the famous masters bear the responsibility, and seek the true meaning!
