English Chinese Writing Art World Leader - Remembering the famous calligrapher Guo Chunxing
In the final analysis, studying books and ink is a process from dead to alive, with shallow to deep, and it is not easy to run this process through to the end! Looking at today's book world, there are many people who dance and ink, and even there are not a few people who have studied books for half a lifetime, but how many people can truly understand the true meaning of calligraphy? First remove the impetuous and difficult people, then remove the people who are eager for success, and finally remove the people who are proud of their achievements, and finally the remaining writers, if not famous, but their calligraphy and virtue are also extraordinary!
Today's famous German-English-Chinese calligrapher Mr. Guo Chunxing is the latter! His personality and ability are both human, his body and mind are quiet, whether it is calligraphy or human morality, he has a strong sense of righteousness! The Sage Sun Guoting of the Tang Dynasty once said that when the ancient times were not obedient, the present is not the same, Mr. Guo Chunxing is also extremely familiar with this, his study book traces back to the classic inscription, the next is in line with the aesthetics of the times, it is said that the teacher is ancient and not muddy, and the present is not restricted to the present! When writing the book, it is based on the inheritance of the past and the future, and the principle of examining the fine and the precious, and the calligraphy works are especially the Wei Stele and the Xingshu! And it can also create a new pattern of calligraphy, English, German and many other foreign languages can be written in Chinese calligraphy, is a calligraphy hero who has experienced Chinese and Western art!
Looking at Mr. Guo's Weibei calligraphy, his work is rooted in the Northern Wei Longmen Twenty Pins, and in the whole work, Mr. Guo also shows a very high degree of epigraphic research, his penmanship seems to borrow the power of an axe, but only the strength of the teacher and not the shape of the knife, so that the Weibei calligraphy is vigorous and gentle! The characters are spicy and simple, dignified and natural, and the font is sometimes on the side of the middle of the line, and when it is dense in the pen line, it can be described as following the law to empower the momentum, and the shape is intentional! Ancient and clumsy, smart and healthy! From today's point of view, his works can definitely be called the exemplary works of today's Weibei calligraphy, and the works of weibei are deeply rooted in the essence of Weibei, both in form and in meaning!
In the works of Xingshu, Mr. Guo has also reached a very high artistic realm, his Xingshu is dependent on the Second King, the penmanship is out of the way, the breath is full of breath, and the pen is even more comfortable, so that the transfer is made in one go! Characters and lines, winning with qi, taking shape with meaning, with a literary tone, more elegant. Ink method is also able to pursue the same visual effect in the pen line, the thickness and lightness are appropriate, the dryness is moderate, the pen is light and the pen is slow, and there is an ink method to follow! The whole line of books, the knot of the word is formed in accordance with the trend, and the line is just masculine, and it is not too much to be named after today's masterpieces!
On the basis of the intensive study of traditional calligraphy, Mr. Guo has made new achievements in borrowing from the past and opening up the present! He broke down the barriers of Chinese and Western culture and aesthetics, used calligraphy as a form to write English, German and other foreign languages, and cast the impossible into a spectacle of cultural exchange between China and the West! English and German sentences, through the line shaping and structural reorganization of single-word letters, have become the lone standard of Weibei calligraphy! Writing English and German foreign languages into Chinese calligraphy, so that western characters have both the shape and spirit of specific Eastern culture, this is an unprecedented thing, and it is also a super ancient and modern achievement! English Chinese writing, German Chinese writing, as soon as it was born, it is a posture in the sky, which has become a new era of calligraphy art, which has amazed the world with calligraphy and made cultural exchanges have unlimited possibilities! This is the glory of the cause of calligraphy, but also the great achievement of the great fusion of world cultures!
