"Ink Dan Qing looks all over the world, and the light note outlines the name of the painting. The mountains and rivers are full of honor and praise for a thousand years. ”
Perhaps, painting is just a simple color matching and scene sketching in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the world of painters, every painting is a new world.
Hou Taolong believes that "artists who lack hospitality are like painters who have discarded their paintbrushes and are tasteless." ”
Art is always the burning of passion. The incense ink he dots with his pen does not flow according to some old-fashioned rules, but like the souls of the pulsating beings on the rice paper, they rotate, collide, and then rise. Let the viewer realize the visual jump and impact from one-dimensional to two-dimensional or even three-dimensional.
It is said that the most basic thing in painting and sketching is to understand the physical physics of things, to enter into the shape of things, and to achieve the scene of dynamic life narrated by static imitation. As Hou Taolong embodies in many of his paintings:
Hou Taolong has a painting entitled "A Thousand Mountains and Ten Thousand Peaks", in which a total of two apes are climbing dangerously on a steep cliff, relying on occasionally raised stones and branches. Only a cursory glance does not seem to feel the mystery, but in detail, the ape's open arms, tight muscles, curled legs, taut toes, and the appearance of the ape convey to the viewer the nervous state of the ape when climbing the cliff.
In the painting with the "donkey" as the main object, Hou Taolong's brush is more inclined to be soothing, because from the ape to the donkey is not only a change in the painting object, but also a change in the painter's state of mind when creating, so whether the donkey is black or white, whether it is standing still or grazing, whether it is a back or a side face hanging low, and even the background of this outlined green willow, it exudes a kind of calmness, a kind of leisure, a kind of calm, just like on the occasion of the rising sun, climbing Mount Tai, facing the morning light of Wen Xi, overlooking the quiet and beautiful world. The heart stirred, and this surging surged back to a pure tranquility in the vast world.
And, of course, his work on the history of the Red Army. Perhaps, in the eyes of many people, red works are more towards a stereotyped creation, but in Hou Taolong's pen, we see a "new" red history, a vivid and vivid world of blood and flesh.
Therefore, Hou Taolong said, "The greatness of painting art lies in the detachment of the soul, the smooth trend of the pen, and the open-mindedness and pattern of integration." ”
The purpose of painting is never to draw the original local painting of what is in real life, so that things can be done by photos, if the realm of painting is only here, then what is the difference with photos?
Just as many people who love to read literary works prefer this kind of work, because in his book, it is not simply memorized and traced, but a surging tide of ideas. Perhaps, as an individual person, Mo Yan's behavior has certain faults, but it does not prevent readers from loving his work, a work that can be called "truth exists".
Painting is the painter's thoughts, in the painter's pen, they never want to simply paint a certain scene, but want to paint the next world, a world that belongs to him, a small hole, but looking at the past, through, is a thousand mountains and rivers.
