The ninety-four-year-old professor Chen Jinzhang lasted nearly four months and recently completed his peak work, "Ocean Forest".
Seventy years of life are rare. However, Chen Jinzhang, a leading figure of the Lingnan School, a famous landscape painter and professor at the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts, was over 90 and 4 years old, and his spirit lasted for nearly four months, and he created "Ocean Forest", which can be called the peak of the marine forest and the mangrove forest. Don't say that the old man who is over the age of the back, even the young and vigorous mature painter is not an easy task.
The composition of the picture is exquisite, beautiful, and the mangroves in the close-up are varied, with twisted tree poles, dense branches and leaves, and a developed and colorful root system soaked in the sea for many years, one branch grows staggered, the tree is rooted, the roots are connected to the tree, and it is impossible to come to a half-groom. The large mangrove forest connects from near and far, from thick to light, and is completely integrated into the water and sky, highlighting the broad mind of the marine forest. In addition to the composition, Professor Chen's ink is a must, accurate to the point of seemingly unreal, which makes people shoot cases.
At the beginning of November 2021, he saw in the newspaper that there was a large area of "mangrove forest" in Zhanjiang, Guangdong Province, quite spectacular, and after consulting the data, he learned that mangroves are indispensable plants for marine ecology, and was deeply shocked, determined to go to the scene to interview and sketch and re-depict the "mangroves".
Chen Jinzhang's ancestral home is Yangmei Town, Huazhou City, and he has countless fans. But he repeatedly told his entourage that it was absolutely confidential and that the itinerary could not be communicated to anyone. On November 27, 2021, he took the high-speed rail directly to Zhanjiang West, and then the accompanying personnel drove directly to the Gaoqiao Mangrove Forest, and the next day he went to the Mangrove Sketching Point of the Mountain Pass. Complete the sketch and inform Ke Ming, former deputy director of the Standing Committee of the Zhanjiang Municipal People's Congress. After a short rest, he rushed back to Guangzhou to attend the meeting on the 29th. In order to enter the creation wholeheartedly, Professor Chen rarely participates in socializing except for attending the necessary meetings, devotes himself to creation, finds inspiration from sketches, looks for individuals in the forest sea of Haohan, and carefully depicts...
Professor Chen is not only first-class in art and morality, but also a model in his character and art. Although it is the year of the back, he still insists on on-site sketching in his nineties. Immersing himself in art and acting in a low profile is exactly the way for Professor Chen Lao to strive for excellence and succeed in the painting world.
