Amazing painting of people
——Preface to Su Ye Xingguo's painting collection "Hundred Beauty Pictures"
Author: Zi Qian
Throughout the vast history of Chinese painting, the painting of ladies is the most splendid and colorful. From the Wei and Jin dynasties in 1800, painters who were fascinated by such pure and beautiful themes have emerged, leaving a considerable number of treasures and masterpieces for the world. The surviving collections of female paintings mainly include "Hundred Beauty Atlas" by Wang Baochi of the Qing Dynasty, "Hundred Beauty Atlas" by Wu Youru in modern times, and "Beauty and Hundred States Of Painting Spectrum" by Ma Xiao. The three collections are based on historical figures, myths and legends, literary works, secular life and some unspecified pure beauty themes, and the shapes and techniques are inherited and perfected, and it has always been recognized as learning from the superior models of traditional female paintings, but unfortunately they are all white painters and pen female paintings.
Chinese female painting is divided into two kinds of brush painting and freehand painting, freehand female painting began in the Song Dynasty, prevailed in the Ming and Qing dynasties, freehand is a combination of pen feelings, ink rhyme and water fun of the high difficult painting skills, non-pen and ink skills can not be done, so there is no "hundred beautiful pictures" drawn in this way. When history turned to the first half of the 21st century, Mr. Su Yexing finally stood out and took the lead in creating an ink color freehand "Baimei Tu".
Chinese female painting strives for the effect of "beauty", paying attention to the feeling of beauty and the artistic conception of beauty. Unfold Mr. Su Yexing's "Hundred Beauty Map" with both pen and ink, indulgence and detachment, and extravagant and god-like, no matter the theme, shape, layout, technique and artistic conception, are all integrated, interesting and intriguing, such as Wang Zhaojun who embraces the pipa and looks back at the distance, the mink cicada who burns incense under the moon and seems to have prayers, Yang Guifei who is graceful and luxurious and drunk, and Huan Sha Xishi who is alone with lotus incense. Mr. Ye Xing is not stuck in the ancient, nor does he stick to his personal style, but relies on the unique analysis and understanding of the characters to create, and skillfully integrates the characteristics of modern female beauty into the paintings of women, resulting in the image of the women he paints in a variety of styles and styles.
"Rhyme" and "beauty" are the two cores that Chinese women's painting strives to embody, so women's painting attaches great importance to the beauty of technique, and the technical rules particularly emphasize the beauty of line drawing, the beauty of color and the beauty of decoration. Mr. Ye Xing's "Hundred Beauty Map" written by Mr. Ye Xing and gong belt is skillful in line method, overall consistency, and vivid rhyme; shicai is pen and ink rhyme, ink color makes it give birth to each other, and pen, ink and color reflect each other to seek fun and rhyme. With only a fluttering and swirling wind belt, Mr. Ye Xing used different techniques to live out the different personality temperaments of the three beauties: the moist and elegant Dai Shuai leaked out Chang'e's intentions; the light flying red silk set off the delicate charm of the flying swallow; and the ink belt that flew on the spot with a stroke of cursive brushwork reproduced the heroic spirit of Gongsun Daniang's "one dance sword instrument moving in all directions".
The hundred ladies recorded in "Hundred Beauty Chart", or the queen concubines, or the martyr virgins, or the famous prostitutes, these beautiful people who have been writing for thousands of years seem to be resurrected into fresh lives because of Mr. Ye Xing's freehand strokes, and they have shaken off the dust of history, carrying the charm of the ancient times as promised, and interpreting a poignant song to the present people, which is probably the charm and artistic conception pursued by the paintings of the ladies.
"The world does not live up to the people's suffering, and the lonely and strange are waiting for the great success", this verse can be regarded as a portrayal of Mr. Su Yexing's creation of "Hundred Beauty Map". Ten years ago, Mr. Ye Xing, who is known for depicting modern figures and landscapes, flowers and birds, occasionally found a vacancy in the freehand "Hundred Beauty Map" in Chinese paintings, and suddenly gave birth to the sense of mission that "the heavens will descend to the Si people" and began a difficult creative process. Mr. Ye Xing originally had a wide painting path, and was good at calligraphy, and had a deep knowledge of ancient poetry, during which he sneaked into the towering ancient and modern painting garden to collect styles, "superior to the ancient law", a solid understanding of the painting theory of the female women, and mastered the expression techniques. The second is the creation of the teacher's method, turning its attention to the brilliant and colorful real life, collecting a large number of precious and fresh materials, and laying a solid foundation for its creation. In 1994, Mr. Yexing officially fell into the ink creation, cold and summer, lasted five years, changed his manuscript several times, and finally completed this theme time spanning 5,000 years of "Hundred Beauty Map".
All those who have achieved great deeds in ancient and modern times have experienced "suffering from their hearts and minds, and laboring their bones and bones... Therefore, the heart is patient, to gain the "hard journey" that he cannot", Mr. Ye Xing is no exception, and some of the works in his "Hundred Beauty Map" are completed in a simple room with a low area of less than ten square meters. In the winter, when I was in that hut, my fingers were frozen, and in the summer, it was hot and humid, but my husband could devote himself to creating for several years. Every time I look at his paintings, I am touched by the persistence of "the belt gradually widens and there is no regret, and the people are haggard for The Elimination". Fortunately, the heavenly way paid for hard work, and now this work that condenses Mr. Chen's talent and painstaking efforts has finally been completed.
Mr. Ye Xing has been lonely and indifferent in his life, and he has been practicing art for decades, and he has never had a hot diploma as a background, nor has he ever found a highly respected celebrity to lean on. Nowadays, it is popular to write a preface to a famous person, but Mr. Is against fashion, so that I am such a nameless young man, which shows its true nature. I have always admired Mr. Gentleman's simple virtues, so I have undertaken this heavy responsibility and prefaced it with the truth. However, I regret that I am shallow and shallow, not enough to make full use of the subtlety of "Hundred Beauty Pictures", but in Chinese freehand painting, "knowing white and keeping black", the composition should be the same, so I left the unspoken place for the viewers to appreciate alone.
To a certain height, art is actually a person's quality and cultivation, and what he shows to the reader is not only a painting and a word, but a work that embodies the soul of spiritual reproduction and has a strong spiritual appeal. Only those who yearn for a better life with a love of nature can be immersed in passion and depict works that are exhilarating and passionate.
Mr. Su Yexing's paintings are spicy, rich, and he loves the big life incomparably, just like the colors on his own paintings, as intense, colorful and vulgar, graceful and elegant. The figures and bamboo he painted are simple and natural, vivid and fresh. I always believe that Mr. Su Yexing's paintings are the backbone of Chinese painters, and it is worthy of the attention of the art world, the painting and calligraphy circles, and the collecting world.
