The Yellow River, the symbol of the Spirit of the Chinese nation, is the source of unending strength. The Yellow River has left a brand of charming Chinese culture in the hearts of Chinese, and has penetrated into the hearts of each of our Chinese descendants. It is easy to paint the Yellow River, it is difficult to draw the soul of the Yellow River, it is easy to "shape", and it is difficult to draw "God". From ancient times to the present, successive Generations of Yellow River painters have left classic Yellow River works to this day, but it is rare to achieve both the "shape" and "god" of the Yellow River, and to paint the beauty of the Yellow River with a sense of balance and strength.
The water of the Yellow River rises from the sky, and the blood boils with Chinese feelings
Appreciation of Yuan Feng's Chinese paintings
Yushan | Wen
In modern Chinese painting, there is one more kind of scenery, that is, the Yellow River, which meanders in nine curves, flows for thousands of miles, and runs endlessly. Huangshan, commonly known as the Mother River, has nurtured China's civilization for three thousand years. The Yellow River and the Great Wall together support the backbone of the Chinese nation.
Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty said: The water of the Yellow River rises from the sky and flows to the sea and never returns. This poem has a very grand artistic conception, and it often becomes one of the favorite themes of Chinese painters. Yellow River Chinese painting, in fact, is also a kind of landscape, is a special kind of landscape painting.
Ancient Chinese painters did not explore the magnificence of the Yellow River at Hukou Waterfall, nor did they take the Yangtze River and the Yellow River as the content of landscape paintings. Ancient Chinese painters liked calm and microwaved water, although there were also flying springs and waterfalls, but they were definitely foil roles, and these dynamic waters were also known for their quiet and leisurely character. The reason for this is that perhaps the ancient painters looked for the help of the stream by constructing the harmony of jing, ning, su, ya, hui and mu as the main points of the fa. Therefore, the ancients did not like the violent, noisy dynamic torrent, which is why for more than a thousand years, the "flying waterfall flow" is rarely seen in landscape paintings.
It was not until after the founding of New China, with the rise of new Chinese painting, that the Three Gorges and Hukou gradually became the characteristic scenery of the painter's pen. There are many mountains on both sides of the Three Gorges, with the image symbol of a long water dragon sandwiched between the lofty mountains, while the Yellow River Hukou Waterfall is different, it has no high mountains as a dependency, it is completely dependent on roaring, boiling and rotating, indomitable, strong to the mountains and rivers for the upside down of the natural water as a panorama, so it has a special charm.
The Yellow River Hukou Waterfall is said to be extremely majestic, stretching for several kilometers of wide water to emit a deafening song of nature, mighty and majestic, invincible, earth-shattering, terrifying, the great power of natural creation gushes out in an instant, small as a person, how not to be conquered by this majestic yellow soup water!
Therefore, painting the water of the Yellow River, only by fully painting its majestic momentum, is the real art. Although the angles chosen by each person are different, there is a high degree of consistency in the momentum of the Cliff Rush of the Yellow River. Yuan Feng's Water of the Yellow River, in addition to the delicate portrayal and majestic momentum, often adds a male lion to the picture, and the angry Yellow River water and the roaring male lion have the same magic. The lion is also yellow, and the fur on its body, its kingly spirit, its mighty majesty, are harmoniously constructed with the endowments of the Yellow River.
Yuan Feng's Yellow River water, with delicate brushwork to draw the ups and downs of the water flow, through the ochre color dyeing, leaving white dyeing and other methods, the water vapor rendered the jumping momentum of the flame soaring, the water's wanton ocean but all the soft personality and the hard mountain stone's rigid personality to form an organic whole of rigidity and softness. And the attack of water is like Lao Tzu's famous saying: The world is softer than water, and the strong can be strong first.
Yuan Feng not only painted the feelings, scenes and potentials of the Yellow River water, but also painted the profound philosophy of the Yellow River water, which is one of the characteristics that ordinary painters do not have. Moreover, as if the water of his Yellow River was close to observation, the momentum of the movement generated by static was really surging and shocking, and the rushing Yellow River swept in like a thousand horses galloping, with a strong momentum, a rapid thunderous force, and the ambition to destroy the decay and swallow the heavens and the earth.
Yuan Feng's water of the Yellow River also shows a kind of condensed power. In the picture, many streams of water leap down from a high place, gathering from all directions to form a boiling pot, which is a symbol of condensation and the success of condensation. The color of Yuan Feng's Yellow River water is a kind of golden yellow that shines in the sun, golden and brilliant, and very elegant atmosphere. The other is red ochre, which has the characteristics of blood veins, implying that the blood of the Chinese nation is surging and life is eternal. Perhaps, this symbol has surpassed Li Bai's Yellow River water in the sky, and has been integrated into the blood of every Chinese, becoming the genetic code of our lives.
Editor's Note
Mr. Yuan Feng's paintings have a strong visual impact, not only comply with the traditional realistic figuration, but also implant modern cultural emotions, based on the life of the times, with the power of flying life, forming their own spiritual totem. That freely stretched wings, that scorching and far-reaching thought, cloaked in the moon and the wind, the waves returning to the snow, are casting their own wind bones in this era, a work, from visual aesthetics to the spiritual world, what is needed is a painter's inner cultivation, knowledge, literacy, and cultural precipitation and accumulation in all aspects. This is also the best wealth of an excellent painter, Mr. Yuan Feng uses his artistic creation, so that the cultural and artistic circles at home and abroad can peek into the brilliance of contemporary Chinese art works, and deeper appreciate and comprehend the beauty, charm, strength and infinite charm of Chinese painting.
