The wood of the embrace is born at the end of the millimeter; the platform of the nine floors begins from the earth; the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Thousands of years ago, Mr. Li Er conveyed the subtle accumulation method and the importance of being down-to-earth and serious in this way. Thousands of years later, this poem is still so inspiring that I think of Teacher Fan Yang, and I can't help but admire it when I think of Mr. Li Er's steadfastness and perseverance.
Fan Yang: Born in 1955 in Hong Kong, China, his ancestral home is Nantong, Jiangsu Province. He was the dean, professor and doctoral supervisor of the School of Fine Arts of Nanjing Normal University. He is currently the vice president of the Chinese Painting Academy of the National Academy of Painting of China, the president of the Nanjing Academy of Calligraphy and Painting, and the researcher of the Chinese Academy of Painting of the China Academy of Art.
I think there is no one who does not know Teacher Fan Yang now, the teacher of the Year of the Flower Armor is still not old, although he is a southerner, his figure is similar to that of a northerner, and his kind face occasionally shows a smile like sunshine. When chatting with Mr. Fan Yang, his calm voice made our daily busy hearts instantly calm down, and at the same time, I heard a different kind of confidence in this calm. The strength of this self-confidence is the teacher's research and accumulation of Chinese painting and calligraphy over the years. Although we are all, we speak like we are no different and so kind.
In 1955, Mr. Fan Yang was born in Hong Kong, and then returned to Nantong, Jiangsu Province, and his high school was enrolled in "Nantong Middle School", Nantong Middle School is a key middle school in Nantong, which has trained first-class scholars such as painter Fan Zeng and mathematician Yang Le. Before 1977, the college entrance examination adopted the principle of voluntary registration, Fan Yang chose to work in the Nantong Institute of Arts and Crafts after graduating from high school, as an artist position, at that time the artist needed to learn a lot of courses, such as: learning to paint, folk crafts, paper cutting, embroidery drawing, and the same group of students who studied together were Lin Xiao, Xu Ping, Xu Yiyi, etc.
Although Fan Yang was born in a family of calligraphy and painting, compared with other disciples of the family, he had less pride and more composure, which enabled him to establish a spirit, lay a solid foundation, contain Yingzuihua, and accumulate thick and thin hair. At that time, in the Institute of Arts and Crafts to study embroidery and paper-cutting together in addition to Fan Yang's window outside the same window there are Pang Xuanqin, Wu Guanzhong and other people, and the predecessor of the Institute of Arts and Crafts is shen shou female red teaching institute, paper-cutting, lanterns, kites, tie-dyeing these are very colorful, the most brilliant of which can also be called fine embroidery technology, Fan Yang hears every day, good learning, but also in the study of inspiration, promote backwards, harvest a lot. After a long period of contact with simple and natural, generous and vibrant folk art, Fan Yang's aesthetic orientation was also influenced by folk art.
Through continuous study, in 1976, Fan Yang published the first volume of comic strips "Sang Hong Sheep Tongue Battle Group Confucianism", Fan Yang began to resume the college entrance examination when he was 22 years old, and he was admitted to the Fine Arts Department of Nanjing Normal University with excellent results, officially starting the road of learning art. Taught by Mr. Qin Xuanfu, Xu Minghua, Wei Tianchi, Yang Jianhou, etc., under the teacher's teaching and his own diligent efforts, he served as an assistant teacher in the fine arts department of Nanjing Normal University at the age of 27, and was promoted from assistant teacher to associate professor of the fine arts department of Nanjing Normal University. During this period, he also joined the Chinese Artists Association, during which time his work "Zhiqian" was collected by the National Art Museum of China.
Fan Yang has a wide range of involvement in painting, he is good at landscapes, flowers and birds, and figures, and he is brilliant in his brushwork, freehand, creation, and sketches. He doesn't want to stick to the rules, and likes to try various styles and painting methods. It is precisely because he learns from the past and borrows the present, absorbs the strengths of all, and "uses the greatest strength to fight in, and then uses the greatest strength to fight out", he walked out of the unique way and Mu Xiu yulin.
Meng Keyun: "Five hundred years, during which there will be a famous person." Teacher Fan Yang can have the current achievements, the important thing is that he will go deep into nature, understand nature, write about the nature I have gained in my travels, and truly achieve the creation of foreign teachers and the source of the heart. In painting, he advocated the ancient masters, paid attention to the creation of teachers, and pursued the heart of the teacher. "My family ink method and my family mountain" is the independent spirit of his painting language, "the pen has not yet arrived and swallowed" is the unique realm of his painting, and "pen and ink is contemporary" is the magic weapon that he can innovate in inheritance.
Fan Yang's temperament with a sense of self-confidence, most of the famous painters after the Song and Yuan Dynasties came from landscapes, so he began to paint landscapes, and also took painting as the most important thing, firmly believing that he would become a great painter in the future, and since then he has been out of control. Chinese since ancient times, it pays attention to the unity of nature and man, and the landscape can better reflect the true disposition of the painter and show the cultural accomplishment of the painter. Fan Yang's landscape retains a strong traditional charm, but there is no lack of Wu Zhen and Wang Meng's lush depth, and more Zhao Mengfu and Dong Qichang's calm and graceful appearance. His landscape paintings start from tradition, but they have a different style from a family, but they exude their own true disposition.
Fan Yang is very particular about the state, he writes and paints with a calm and relaxed attitude, like a good general lining up troops. Before he wrote, he not only became a bamboo in his chest, but also let the emotions drive, put it straight, outlined the dot dye with a casual pen line, and laid out a large pattern framework. Then, according to the imagery pen in the chest, the pen is generated, and the ink and color are accumulated over and over again, layer by layer, so that the picture gradually becomes thick and calm. Those seemingly random dot lines were eventually unified into the overall image structure by him, forming pen and ink symbols with a sense of rhythm and rhythm, showing a sense of movement full of connotations. And this kind of dynamic is by no means restless and open, but it clearly reveals the desolate mountain weather of the universe and stirs the heart of the viewer.
He still remembers what his grandmother said when he was learning brush writing when he was a child: "The pen should be thick and the ink should be thick, which is related to a person's future happiness." Later, the landscape painting learned was taken from the Song and Yuan Dynasties, and the majestic and calm way was exactly the same as the calligraphy he practiced, which achieved the solemnity of the water pen method, the pen in the center, the pen in place, and the generous ink landscape. Its pen points and lines are natural and free, and the pen path spirals and undulates, which not only shapes the image in the chest, but also maintains the unique aesthetic charm of the pen and ink.
In the study of Nanjing Normal University, he integrated his thoughts into the fine arts, only to achieve the style of focusing on spiritual imagery and not departing from the objective feeling and cognition of the nature of the landscape, he abandoned the simple combination of traditional pen and ink programs, but used a more free and free pen and ink program to express the real nature. In his works, you can see the simple combination of line and color, see the tone with traditional charm, and also see the modern spiritual temperament flowing out of traditional painting.
Teacher Fan Yang's calligraphy and painting are more free, free and confident. He said many times: "What I want to do is a historical painter, and from the day I learned to paint, I decided that I would become a first-class painter in the future." I never look around and look left and right, what I have to do is to look at history and find my own coordinates. And he's been working on that idea.
Zhang Yanyuan, a Tang Dynasty, said: "Workers and painters are good at books." The basis of Chinese painting is actually the foundation of calligraphy, and if a person's calligraphy skills are what his painting kilometers will be, Teacher Fan Yang is like this. Nourished by traditional culture since childhood, he practiced calligraphy under the guidance of his grandmother at a young age, and after entering the university, he began to learn Zhong Xuan, and also learned Yan Lugong, Huang Gu, Qingteng, and the Eight Great Families. However, some people do not care about Mr. Fan Yang's calligraphy. "Can't make people love at first sight" "Although the skill is profound, it seems not to be good-looking." As everyone knows, this is exactly the view of the layman. Fu Lei commented: "Looking at a painting is like looking at a beautiful person." It is good at first sight, and gradually looks tired, and this can be tasted. At first sight, it gradually looks better, and this wonderful product is also. If the beginning is difficult and out of place, over time it is gradually received, and the longer it is, the more it is loved, and this divine product is also, and the yipin is also. Look at the picture, and look at the people. Beauty is in the skin, unobstructed, shallow and meaningful, so the first joy and the end of disgust. Beauty in it, contains a lot of intriguing, intriguing, painting is full of intention, so the beginning is flat, and finally see the wonderful situation. ”
Taking the contemporary development of Chinese painting as the ideal, Fan Yang on the one hand adheres to the in-depth study of tradition, widely collects and learns, reflecting a kind of academic wisdom from integration to transformation; on the other hand, he insists on going deep into life, wandering nature, taking the capture and expression of the "demeanor" of objects as the pursuit, keenly feeling the situation of life of all things, grasping the "Zen machine" of creation sensibility, taking the image modeling perspective is novel, unexpected, the posture is generous, clear and cheerful, with pen and ink with color, the rhythm of language and the rhythm of emotion burst into each other. In the pen and ink language, it has its own distinct physique and glows with the vigorous atmosphere of the times. Nowadays, when people are enthusiastically pursuing Mr. Fan Yang's paintings, people of insight have quietly paid attention to his calligraphy. In recent years, Mr. Fan Yang's calligraphy has been as expensive as his red-robed Arhat, known to the world, favored by insiders, and sought after by collectors.
