Before the Eighth Festival, I visited Mr. Yu Guangzu and saw Mr. Nie Jiansheng's paintings in Mr. Yu's studio. Mr. Nie Jiansheng's Chinese paintings of characters are quite zen painting charm of ink and ink: nature, simplicity, silence, clumsiness, vulgarity, pleasantness, and conveyance. Mr. Nie Jiansheng is a painter who is truthful, clumsy and loose in his heart. He has long been engaged in the creation of poetry, books, paintings and prints, and has always longed for the artistic realm of High Zen Fun Painting pioneered and continued by Chinese painting masters such as Bada and Xu Wei, and boldly refined pen and ink in painting practice, and strived to reach an aesthetic height with Zen meaning.
His Chinese paintings are based on Gao Shi, You Xian and Luo Han, and he is also full of innocence, dust, and wisdom. After years of study and understanding of calligraphy and painting, today, his character brush and ink are simple and generalized, the lines are flexible, the ink color is simple, the painting is ethereal, the style is elegant, and the literati are very interesting, and he has gradually gained the charm of Chinese freehand character painting. Freehand painting carries the thick culture of China for 5,000 years, it is a cultural system derived from classical Chinese philosophy, different from other ethnic cultures in the world, with a unique and great spirit, and is the crystallization of Chinese civilization.
Nie Jiansheng with a meditative heart to integrate the "Lao Zhuang spirit" and "minimalism" engaged in painting theory and creation, every painting, the intention to move before the heartbeat, the heartbeat before the pen movement, the movement is nothing outside the heart, with the pen wanton, the strength of the unity, handy, the paintings are dusty, interesting outside the image, profound meaning, natural charm. If it is said that ordinary calligraphers and painters take the ancient as their teacher, then Nie Jiansheng is not deceived by the inside, and the disciple of the heavens, and the external teacher. It is precisely in this way that he has created a Hongdae atmosphere with lofty intentions and a pen and ink covering the earth, and his works integrate the past and the present, containing extremely deep spiritual and cultural connotations, and becoming the source of his artistic life.
Mr. Wu Chenxu, an art critic, praised Nie Jiansheng's works and praised them: Fame may not be true, there are always grassroots roots to dye spring. In order to make the Spirit Cupboard fly mysteriously, it is also necessary to read the Broken Order Carved Dragon. Mr. Wei Ziqiang, a professor at the Academy of Fine Arts of Northwest Normal University and a famous Chinese painter, said after seeing Nie Jiansheng's works that Nie Jiansheng's paintings are literati Zen paintings, which are well painted, and this kind of painting does not seek shape but only charm, and expresses the painter's perception of cosmic life through refined brush and ink and refined composition, and has the artistic appeal of elegant dust like Yangchun snow.
At a national-level Exhibition of Chinese Paintings, some audience members praised Mr. Nie Jiansheng's freehand character paintings: "The outline of a few strokes, the smooth waving of pen and ink, and the carefully created cloth Chen, so that one by one vivid and vivid characters jumped on the paper." ”
Mr. He Guogang, a collector, said that such high-style Zen paintings as Nie Jiansheng's paintings have not only been favored by literati and inkers, but have also received widespread attention from Chinese painting collectors and have become a new hot spot in art collection.
Mr. Nie Jiansheng's works have profound thoughts and the spirit of "spiritual exchanges with heaven and earth alone", expressing a frank and willful but frank and sincere self. Mood and Zen Buddhism have their consistency in their essence. Some people believe that it is mainly manifested in several aspects, namely, the lyrical of the subjective mind, the pursuit of the creation of "assimilation of things and self", and the implicit and obscure aesthetic ideals. Mr. Nie's large-scale freehand paintings have "fun outside the image", which can be described as its realm. In the end, when I saw how feminine Qingshan was, I expected qingshan to see me as I should be, and the state of high harmony and unity between man and nature is the highest state pursued by Zen Buddhism.
Figure painting is the most difficult to master and the most difficult to master in the three major disciplines of Chinese painting, and it is particularly difficult to draw freehand characters. It is not only necessary to be witty and sprinkled with pen and ink, to highlight the freehandness of painting, but also to conform to the shape of the characters, so that their shapes and meanings are unified, harmonious and natural. Mr. Nie's figure paintings have left a deep impression on the viewers with his simple and simple writing life and the unity of form and god: "Mr. Nie Jiansheng is a painter with a certain influence on the large-scale freehand figures in the province. The pen is vigorous and dynamic, and the charm is good and full of spirituality. The character sketches in his capital letters are rich in content, giving him a thick humanistic spirit, and it is also a manifestation of his life that is sensitive to words and ink. ”
Of course, Mr. Nie Jiansheng's paintings also give a thick cultural connotation and philosophical connotations, as he said in his own essay: "Enter the painting method with the xiang method, use the Tai Chi method to brush and ink, paint GaoShi, You Xian, Luo Han, occasionally stain rouge, stain flowers and grass..." In the Tao Te Ching, it is said: "Knowing its whiteness, keeping its black, is the style of the world." "Used in painting, it is also the architectural guidance of the beauty of yin and yang, existence and reality on pen and ink, cloth and chen." Plain is the true color, the original heart, the authenticity; the simple is simple, simple thick, simple and clumsy. Park is nearly naïve, naïve, natural; big coincidence, return to Park. Simplicity and simplicity are not only the high realm of art, but also the high realm of being a person. Lao Tzu said to see Su Bao Pu, Zhuangzi said that simplicity and the world can not compete with the beauty, Confucius said to paint after the fact. As early as 2,500 years ago, these saints had set "plain" and "simple" as important aesthetic standards, making them the most important aesthetic standards of Chinese culture and art. Mr. Nie Jiansheng's artistic creation is precisely in the practice of the traditional philosophy of Chinese painting in the philosophical aesthetic idea of "counting white as black", the composition has the natural composition, the shape has the natural shape, the pen is natural, and the ink has the naturalness of the ink. God to the pen to, nature also, God to the pen and not to the pen, nature also. To or not, all are determined by God, not natural, this is also the style of Chinese freehand art, but also the charm of Chinese freehand painting. As a result, he has seen more and more of his profound capital artistic life.
