Chinese Herald Dongying years
Written by Yang Wenkai
A female business owner who has been living in Japan for 35 years has always enjoyed the image and reputation of a strong woman in the business world. Surprisingly, she recently ushered in the year of her life in a special way of a unique solo exhibition. Surrounded by paintings and leisurely candlelight, the audience was amazed and touched.
As a career woman in her sixties, this woman has experienced good and bad times in life and career, and has also seen various scenery on the road to growth. Until one day, she encountered oil paint and painting, allowing the accumulation of life and the passion of life to find a new form of creation. This solo exhibition is a great surprise for the author to dedicate to relatives and friends, and it is also a Chinese woman's perceptual observation of the world, her call for life, her free expression of her heart, and her passion for life.
Just as the author revealed his heart in the exhibition, we are fortunate to meet and encounter everyone in the journey of life, and painting has brought us closer together. Countless voices of blessings and expectations have ignited the "fire" of creation in my heart. The never-ending brushstrokes and colors make me feel infinitely happy. Constantly challenge yourself in painting, so that the feelings of love and positive energy are spontaneously born. The age of 60 is a new departure in life.
It is understood that the lady met the painting for just over half a year. The creation from scratch has broken the step-by-step stylized learning process, and now he holds a solo exhibition, and the works on display are magnificent, which can be called a miracle. Among them, there may be God's favor, but it is also inseparable from personal efforts, and it is more likely to be an explosion of free-spirited mentality.
If the basic elements of oil painting are shape and color, the artist obviously starts from the impression of color and intuition, starting from the feelings of the eyes and heart, boldly brushing down, coloring according to the class, and freely expressing the individual's righteousness and feelings on the large-scale canvas. Each creation is full of emotion and flying brushstrokes, which is not only a challenge to the expressive power of pigments, but also a journey of passion and color. The images that flow from the pen are sensual, chaotic, and sincere, and are the natural outpouring of inner experience and life experience, which does not need to be interpreted by borrowing vision and knowledge. After getting rid of the shackles of modeling, the whole process of creation is guided by the dynamic inspiration and abstract pictures, and the creator has a sense of soaring and entering the world of freedom, which is a rare peak experience of artistic creation.
Painting opens up a new world for the artist, new discoveries that emerge at any time enhance the interest of life, change the perspective of observation, boundless imagination reconstructs those familiar scenes and characters, and the process of creation is the explosion and realization of passion. In the exhibition, the zodiac series, the flower series, the love series, the gratitude series, etc., were presented, and even the creator himself was deeply incredible, shouting long live art. This is the power of artistic contagion, which moves me and the audience.
What's even more remarkable is that the artist has always been able to integrate the painting with the environment, whether it is a high-end elegant gallery style or a natural borrowing of scenery close to the water, so that the abstract works show a unique temperament that shines under the light of the real scene in the morning and dusk and the magnificent Tokyo Tower. Zhuangzi said that there is great beauty in heaven and earth without saying, and there is a clear law at four times without discussion. The artist's paintings originate from the image of the heart, blend into nature, and needless to say, make all the good things a part of heaven and earth.
The creativity of this Chinese woman is amazing, she is diligent and forgets to sleep and eat, which has made such an exhibition full of vitality and spirit. This is a clear proof that the author continues to challenge new fields and climb new heights, and it is the author's second life to meet the sixtieth birthday, and it is also an artistic life worth looking forward to. In today's society where the practice of lying flat or praying for the stability of the present world is prevalent, it is instructive that she can maintain a strong curiosity and a youthful mentality that dares to think and do.
The years do not live, and the seasons flow. The first generation of new overseas Chinese living in Japan has gradually entered the year of sixtieth year, and many people's lives and careers have entered the completion ceremony. If the previous life was burdened with various responsibilities and was more for others, then life after the age of 60 is the real beginning, and it is the second spring of living for yourself. The first half of life is hard work and accumulation, and the rest of life is enjoyment and release. Listening to the evening breeze blowing gently, watching the river flow slowly, this is the period of maturity and harvest, rich life experience and wealth in life, so that individuals have the ability to turn stones into gold, can do what they want, can hope to be reborn. The author demonstrates and practices the meaning of contentment and happiness through free creative activities, which naturally include the companionship and support of family, and the encouragement and friendship of friends.
Usher in the season of abundant fruits in life, and watch the years roll up. Find yourself in art and let life travel lightly again. I wish her brushes will never fade and her life will be easier and happier.
