Gongbi painting, also known as "fine brush painting", is a type of Chinese painting technique. China has a long history of brush strokes, and has established a set of strict technical systems in the long-term historical development. Today, it has also cultivated many masters of brush strokes, and today, the one who wants to talk about it is a relative of our He clan, known as "the most promising and representative young generation painter" - He Jiaying.
He Jiaying, born in Tianjin in 1957;
In 1977, he was admitted to the Painting Department of Tianjin Academy of Fine Arts to study Chinese painting, and after graduating in 1980, he stayed on to teach at the school.
He was a member of the 9th, 10th and 11th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference;
He is currently the vice chairman of the China Artists Association, the doctoral supervisor of the China Academy of Art, the vice president of the Contemporary Gong Brush Painting Association, the director of the He Jia Ying Gong Brush Painting Research Institute of Tianjin Academy of Fine Arts, the honorary president of Tianjin Academy of Painting, and the honorary director of Tianjin Art Museum.
He has won the honors of "Young and Middle-Aged Experts with Outstanding Contributions", "Literary and Art Workers of Virtue and Art Shuangxin" of the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles, and "Four Batches" of Literary and Artistic Talents of the Central Propaganda Department.
He Jiaying is very good at the creation of gongbi characters, the most representative of which is the vivid and bright girls in his pen.
Girls are He Jiaying's favorite creative theme, and he has won many awards for this. He said that girls will express their emotions in a more delicate and gentle way, and their eyes and demeanor will have a poetic meaning, which is also an unusual sense of beauty.
But He Jiaying does not choose too beautiful beauty themes, he believes that too beautiful will make people ignore the original inner thoughts that they want to express, so in his paintings, the girls we see have unique oriental elegance. Many painters in the industry also said that He Jiaying's style was successful because he painted a lot of artists in the industry who wanted to paint but failed to paint.
He Jiaying has also been called "the most promising painter of gongbi painting". His figure paintings can become a typical representative of Chinese Gongbi painting, definitely not only because of the subject matter. Whether it is gongbi painting or freehand painting, He Jiaying has a unique achievement, completing the transformation of Chinese painting from classical to modern forms.
He attaches great importance to the fusion of Chinese and Western art, and believes that creation cannot stay on the surface. Although Chinese and Western painting are opposing systems, the two are essentially the same from the perspective of painting. Chinese and Western painting should draw nourishment from the common level of grand view and positive view, rather than sticking to the side door and deliberately highlighting one's own small personality, but should take a true road of unification. His creations exalt the spirit of realism and focus on the experience of life. The depiction of the work is subtle, the arrangement is careful, and the characters are beautiful and clean. His freehand works can also be innovative, subtle, open-minded, natural and generous.
His works focus on the excellent expression of the soul and the deep concern for human nature, and make a fruitful exploration of the innovation of Chinese painting. He has participated in exhibitions in Japan, South Korea, India, Hong Kong and other places.
He Jiaying said: "I am Chinese, my own emotions and understanding of painting, I will make my works stand on such a stand of national painting, and our asanas, to complete a kind of achievement of Chinese national painting, to push Chinese gongbi painting forward, to the direction of modernity, to become a national painting with a very distinct spirit of the times." This is something that our painters do. ”
He Jiaying, a relative of the Ho clan, used a paintbrush to depict oriental culture, showing the beauty of the East, and making a significant contribution to the development and progress of Chinese gongbi painting.
