The creation of contemporary Chinese painting coexists in diversified forms, and as far as the creation of landscape painting is concerned, it can be roughly divided into three categories: traditional landscape, sketching landscape, and modern landscape.
Traditional landscapes, mostly follow the traditional brushwork of famous artists in history, but imitate too much, their own creativity is less; sketching landscapes, is confined to the shape of the front scene, although their works are vivid and pleasing to the eye, but the lack of charm is difficult to appreciate; modern landscapes, mostly inspired by Western abstract paintings, have a new understanding of local traditions in the exploration of brush and ink, and even trigger a re-examination and introspection of life, but they are still in the growth stage, and few convincing works appear. It has become difficult to see landscape paintings that make people shine.
However, recently seeing a landscape painting "Chicken Foot Mountain" is really amazing. In the painting, the brushwork is high and elegant, but the brushwork is simplified, or the broken pen is dry, or the stick pen is written in italics, the line pen is done with the heart, and the pen is not dry and absurd, but it can directly express the mind.
After sighing for a long time in the face of the painting, I couldn't help but ask who the author was, it turned out that this painting was the Chinese painting of the artistic giant Nan Wuqiang Buddha.
Painting is the painter's elegance, the painter's spiritual realm artistic insight, determines the artistic level of the work, Nan Wuqiang Buddha once in the art literature "Tradition. No me. "Space" said: "Every artist must take the path of "innovation in shigu", shigu is a tradition, innovation must fuse the art, philosophy, aesthetics, literature, etc. of the East and the West into a furnace, "enlightenment to the true source", grasp the external image and inner spirit of the object, as well as the change of the virtual reality in the surface, write out the rhyme, so that his works are free of strokes, the luck is spicy, the lines flow away, the form seems to be different, the work is not craftsman, the release is not wild, there is personality and charm; to reach this step, and then according to the knowledge, pursue the true source of selflessness and emptiness. Then the artistic realm of thick Huazi, the high realm and the vivid charm will lead people to the enjoyment of beauty; our Chinese painting art can seek a big leap forward and eventually become a worldwide shining artwork. ”
"In the Chicken Foot Mountain" is such a landscape painting, in which the mountains and stones and trees are pitched into fun, answering with the mountains and rivers, and looking at the heavens and the earth. The houses in my pen are crooked from east to west, but they turn into movement, and they are interesting, like writing books, chasing mountains, only communicating with heaven and earth, and being alone with the green mountains without saying a word. If this painting retreats and looks far away, it is clumsy and simple; if it is seen closely, it is lush and moist. Such landscape paintings are truly breathtaking.
