The subtleties can be seen in the heart
Teachers and Friends Comment on Zhang Yangming's Paintings (Selected Editions)
In the past two years, Zhang Yangming has painted a number of good paintings, including big mountains and rivers, and there are also small bridges and flowing water, all of which are very good. In today's painting world, it is really not easy to draw good paintings. This so-called good is that it has been recognized by everyone and feels that it is still so. This year, how difficult it is to identify with others and feel that others are good.
Zhang Yangming painted landscapes and got a "cold" word. Cliffs, trees, houses, boats, and characters are clearly depicted, with clear meanings, gorgeous and poignant, and empty and transparent. Perhaps, everyone smelled a hint of fresh breath from the dreary dullness, so they were happy, so they achieved the bright landscape pattern. Zhang Yangming still exudes the posture of "FoxSuke" in these seemingly perfect landscapes.
Zhang Yangming and I have similar social backgrounds, similar artistic aesthetics, and similar ideals. Rebellion and intransigence in the bones are similar, free and loose, and imaginative. I remember asking him what his greatest ideal was, and he thought about it and said, on the way. Therefore, when I look at his new works, I always suspect that this is just an excuse for him to take a break.
Art focuses on expression, and being organized is a method, and shouting is also a method. The classics of the temple are a kind of beauty, and the folk grassroots are also a kind of beauty. Sometimes, people like me and Zhang Yangming, the "chivalrous" spirit in their hearts always irrepressibly conflicts with the "peace and self-preservation". The ideal is far away, and the peace of mind is home. Perhaps because of age, peace prevails, and the subtleties can be seen in the heart.
——Jin Xinming (West Lake Painting Club)
Zhang Yangming belongs to the traditional category of painters. The current situation of traditional painters is very clear to everyone, most of them wandered in the late Qing Dynasty, and they were all shouting Song and Yuan in the middle of the Ming Dynasty. There are even some people who learn the interpretation of the ancients by their contemporaries, and they dare to say that they have "traditional Samadhi", and they will entertain themselves and earn some silver and two good lives. Now the information is so developed, hiding and choking, everyone looks at it and doesn't say it!
Brother Yang Ming began to be the same as everyone, but also by the same generation of his favorite landscape painters influence, trying to entertain themselves, in recent years the work suddenly began to talk to the ancients, the loneliness of the picture is indulgent, as if there is a call of Mei Qing, gradually jiang, but also added a little of their own willfulness, painting to this step is not easy, Yang Ming Brother can sneak a smile, the mountain is still very high, have to rest and then climb, look around there are jungle bushes, too high cold will freeze themselves, may wish to prepare some feeding, and then see if those who play in the city well of the Republic of China have used slingshots to aim at themselves , the small dark arrow is actually not afraid, now has its own bulletproof vest immune system, afraid of the front of the ancient people's open gun artillery, Mr. Lu Yushao said "blood battle ancients", that is a real gun, the fire is too fierce and may not be blocked, not good to ponder, and even the target can not be found.
Since you have made a few ancient friends, you may wish to find friends again, as well as their partners Cheng Qingxi, Xiao Zhimu, etc., pulling gangs is also a good way to get some of the goods you need! It is not easy to reach this step, and I believe that Yang Ming has a way to yang Ming.
——Wang Li (China Academy of Art)
Zhang Yangming has a very clear emotional description of his works, in his works, generally speaking, there are empty, silent, concise, idyllic, ethereal, forest springs, hills, Zen realms, etc. Described realms, can not see the vertical and horizontal wanton, imposing, but there is a kind of lofty, clear autumn refreshing, or cold and bitter cold in it, it seems to take the high and quiet of Song painting, through his own use of color to delete complexity and simplicity, the situation of or frustrated lonely, or Qingyuan elegant, or visiting Zen Jielu and many other situations, pervaded the end of the paper, Deliver to the audience. He supports his artistic way of thinking and painting route by inheriting tradition and abandoning tradition, and the virtual reality of his pen is born, the things and I forget both, both ancient and modern, and the bones of the literati are looming in it.
He is a graduate of Gome, and the foundation is not solid. This allowed him to navigate the thorns and go all the way in painting. The refinement and experience of calligraphy and seal engraving is to help Zhang Yangming's painting reach the other side of the flat boat, so that the young artists who practice double cultivation and double xin are really rare. To some extent, living in a corner of Jinhua allows him to concentrate on the art of painting carefully without distraction. Just imagine, a person who is uncertain, cumbersome, and constantly tempted is difficult to reach such a state of mind and create such an elegant and gentle connotation, and the external cold and uninhibited works.
