Painting advocates: taking tradition as the foundation, taking creation as the source, taking the era as the background, and taking the heart as the wind and bone, paying equal attention to the academy and the folk, tracing the original source, and inheriting the essence of national culture
Connoisseur Xiao Ping commented on the preposition:
In Chen Hanfeng's works, I feel a kind of mountains and rivers, the thick tension of the sky and the earth, and the expression of artistic temperament, he does not reflect it through simple pen and ink techniques, but completes this pursuit with the help of the integrity of the overall structure of the picture.
Curator Yu Genhui's comments:
Artists must have an open mind in order to fully express this artistic conception in their own works. Admiring Chen Hanfeng's works, the most prominent impression left on me was the kind of pen and ink tension and artistic spirit that opened widely.
Introduction of Jiangnan Commentary on Writers in Europe and the United States:
Mr. Chen Hanfeng from Fujian is famous for his ink landscape and water, and his works are magnificent and soul-catching; or the walls stand on a thousand feet and stand majestically; or the cliffs cut off iron and hang on the ice; or the mountains are stacked and the thousand peaks are beautiful; or the waterfalls are rushing and the ten thousand woods are magnificent; he precipitates the essence of his predecessors and the style of shi xian on the bottom of the stone and casts them at the end of the pen. The spirit of zhan shan, the spirit of the present water; the old and spicy and domineering atmosphere of the pen, the colorful but chaotic image, the light and elegant color still has a sense of heaviness. The connotation of his paintings is far broader than the expression of the picture, and the artistic conception is far deeper than the scene of the picture. Reading his paintings, like tasting fragrant tea, has endless memories.
Talent and diligence produce results
——Chen Hanfeng's landscape paintings
Shao Dazhen
A good landscape painting must have three factors: hills, brush and ink and artistic conception, hills and ravines, related to the shape and body from the objective true landscape, but it is an artistic form that has been observed and felt by the painter and expressed in the language of painting, that is, the "hill in the chest" often said in Chinese painting theory. The objective landscape becomes the painter's "chest mound" and forms itself in the picture, which must be transformed by the painter's internal and external skills. Knowledge and cultivation are the internal skills of painters, and the external skills are mainly manifested in the ability of pen and ink. Of course, the combination of hills and motifs and pen and ink techniques ultimately comes down to the performance of artistic conception, because the ultimate criterion for measuring a good landscape painting is artistic conception.
Reading Chen Hanfeng's landscape paintings, it is obvious that he is a painter with skill and cultivation. This skill not only comes from his education - in the 1980s, he studied at the Lu Xun Academy of Fine Arts in Shenyang, studied landscape painting under Mr. Sun Entong, and mastered a relatively solid modeling skill; but also because he was good at understanding the principles of traditional landscape painting in the process of practice, he had an understanding of the hills, brush and ink and the artistic conception of the works. He respected the literati painting tradition, and the works of successive masters were examples of his continuous study and research. However, he is also more clearly aware that today's landscape painting creation cannot copy the model of the predecessors, but must reflect the feeling of the times and innovate. He pays attention to collecting materials, paying attention to sketching, and attaching importance to the vividness of objective nature in his works, but he rarely diverts the materials of direct sketching to the picture, and strives to write lyricism and write his feelings about natural landscapes. In the performance of the hills and ravines, he did not follow the norms of traditional literati painting step by step, but paid more attention to the shape, appearance, potential and rhyme of natural landscapes, and expressed the power and beauty of natural landscapes. However, he also carefully got rid of the tendency of kanto landscape painting to be too objective, immersed himself in understanding, and deliberately managed to operate painstakingly in the pen power and ink rhyme. He combines the aura of the southern Fujian people with the rough culture he received in the north, and the combination of the two forms his artistic temperament that can be called "southern people and northern phases". This temperament is clearly reflected in the face of his works. Not only the form and technique are diverse, some of the works are majestic and majestic, some are beautiful and soft, gentle and elegant, but also reflected in the overall appearance of the works, the style pursues rigidity and softness, showing an unobtrusive, gentle personality.
Artistic creation is the most taboo to be impetuous, but also the most taboo to have habits. Chen Hanfeng's creative attitude is serious and serious, his paintings have meticulous ideas, and he takes the intention and rules of each work seriously, and is never sloppy. The picture strives to be vivid and lively, and what emanates is a quiet atmosphere, which shows that the author has a calm personality and a peaceful and relaxed mood when creating. Because he took the ancients and nature as his teachers and respected his own feelings, his landscape paintings already had their own faces.
Chen Hanfeng's achievements are due to his talent and hard work, I believe that in his continuous practice and deep understanding, painting creation will have a new expansion!
