Sun Yongmeng's ink shadow puppet works
I think dreams and paintings should be connected
Dreams tend to be more vague and imaginary. There is real. The scenery is often familiar and somewhat unfamiliar; the artistic conception is very novel, there is a misty beauty, and there is a kind of twists and turns. The feeling of bizarreness and illusion; the colors are not very clear, but they are like the hazy rhyme of ink-----
This is exactly what the painting environment requires.
Pen and ink kung fu, for a painter, is only a means of mastering painting, if it is divorced from the shape. composition. language. Taste. style. The subject matter cannot become a complete work, so some people comment that a work is often good or bad in pen and ink, which is very one-sided, it is the inversion of the end, and art is a yearning, a tempering, a pursuit. The work should have an interest, a novelty, a kind of interest. So it should have a little distance from others, a little whimsy, a little innovation, a little self. Necessity is caused by skill, and contingency is caused by inspiration. Inevitability is a repetition of operations, Linchi has no passion, no need to think about the pen, and the finished product is rarely scrapped, but there is no tension and vitality. Chance is a kind of occasional inspiration, a kind of occasional acquisition of Linchi's pen, so it must be new, rare, difficult to repeat, and encountering this situation is the greatest pleasure of art. Necessity is often a mediocre work, and only chance will produce a masterpiece. Endure loneliness and far utilitarianism, constantly seek more refinement, see different ideas and do not fall into the trap, from the familiar pursuit of life to seek truth and pure even from the artistic heart of four words, can be used as a motto, and with the same views of the Daoist friends to encourage.
Carry forward the spirit of traditional culture
