This group of landscape paintings is the work of modern painter Huang Qifeng, full of paper smoke, green and simple. Looking at such a wonderful landscape painting, I can't help but ask, who is Huang Qifeng? Huang Qifeng is a native of Jiangxi, and when he became an adult, he went to Shanghai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang to find teachers and friends. His works have both the orthodox style of the four kings of the early Qing Dynasty and the inclusive and elegant appearance of modern Haipai painting.
As a painter in the late Qing Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, Huang Qifeng was inevitably influenced by the times in his creation. The mainstream painting style of Qing Dynasty painting continues the works of the ancients, whether it is pen and ink techniques or composition layout, it must reflect the atmosphere of the Song and Yuan Dynasties. On this basis, Huang Qifeng came into contact with the concept of "compatibility between China and the West, elegant and customary appreciation", and the landscape has a new look.
The same is the imitation of Huang Gongwang's painting style, Huang Qifeng is a lot less deliberate. Although the pen is finely broken, the color is quaint, which shows the power of antiques. He changes slightly, showing the characteristics of a cooked but not sweet, light and thick pen and ink. If a landscape painting looks comfortable, it must have something to offer and is worth savoring.
"Qingxi Listening to the Waterfall" is a masterpiece of Huang Qifeng's tribute to the painting style of the Song and Yuan Dynasties, from which we can see his efforts to break the routine. In order to highlight the main points, the traditional "listening waterfall map" rarely paints lofty mountains. Huang Qifeng rose to the challenge and deliberately went from simple to complex to make the composition more complicated. Different, naturally with a sense of freshness.
Huang Qifeng deliberately added white space in the lower left of the picture, and the water flow stirred and turned into smoke. The wonderful details come together and are simply beautiful. Looking up at the majestic mountains and the lush grass and trees up close, only a master can draw this charm.
Huang Qifeng has a special love for mountain dwelling themes, woodcutters, fishermen, and coats, and a corner of the invisible painting. The proportional relationship between people and landscapes has always been a difficult point for traditional painters, and there are many works of imbalance. Huang Qifeng was able to overcome this problem, which shows that he dared to accept new ideas and new knowledge in his creation. Borrowing from the past to open up the present is the method of innovation, and the integration of China and the West is another way. Both roads had to be tried, and there were painters like Huang Qifeng.
There are many works imitating Wang Meng in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and Huang Qifeng uses dyeing to replace him, and even shows the appearance of dense landscapes. The traditional painting method combines rubbing, hooking, and lecturing to draw the three sides of the stone. Huang Qifeng simplifies the method, transforms pen and ink between complexity and simplicity, and uses the pen freely and flexibly, the more comfortable it is to look at.
Ink, color ink, light dai, everything can be, Huang Qifeng's works are worthy of repeated appreciation. Looking at the quiet and quaint landscape space, I really want to walk into the painting and feel it.
