When it was in the middle of spring, Yang and Fang Qi, where was Danqing, and the red boat of Shencheng. With the May Day holiday, the long-prepared "Zhang Youguo Painting Sketch Exhibition" will be exhibited at the Covered Bridge Art Museum of Shenyang Red Boat Theme Park from April 27 to May 6, 2024.
This exhibition exhibits more than 50 Chinese painting sketches created by the famous painter Mr. Zhang You in recent years. The works are mainly freehand characters, and most of the works are poets, poets, poetic rhymes, and poetics in traditional Chinese culture. The exaggerated image of the figures, dripping with pen and ink, fully expresses the many beautiful qualities that Mr. Zhang You wants to convey in his artistic creation, giving people the aesthetic rhyme of great beauty without words, painting without sound and poetry everywhere.
Mr. Zhang You is one of the few painters in the Chinese painting world who can combine the Zen taste of ink and color craftsmanship, the grand narrative and the frank freehand figures. In the 80s of the last century, Mr. was famous for his pastoral elegance of painting flowers and birds. Mr. Gongbi flower and bird paintings are as simple and vivid as an idyll, in the creation of clumsy and calm, not impetuous and impetuous, can find the most plain beauty in ordinary life, in the creation of the appearance of a little deliberate whitewashing, nor the Chinese and Western painting as the opposite of each other to understand, but to promote the strengths and avoid the weaknesses, into the West, fully publicize the expression potential of Chinese painting, in the inherent aesthetic value system of national painting art to forge ahead.
Mr. Zhang You has always adhered to his social responsibility as an artist. Over the years, he has created a large number of large-scale historical themes and grand narrative works, reflecting the painter's superb expressive skills and strong skills, and the works are full of humanistic care and historical responsibility.
At the same time, Mr. Zhang You's freehand figure painting creation is also unique in the art world, and he also works and writes well. From his paintings, we can clearly sort out his deep understanding of the aesthetic connotation of contemporary Chinese "literati painting", which has the opportunity to enter the scene and enter the emotion, elegance and rhyme on the surface, and there is absolutely no self-pity and escapism in the spirit, and some are just fresh and timeless tastes, implicit poetic pen and ink ingenuity, and the condensation of the heart of the rhyme and rhyme, expressing the unique spirit of contemporary Chinese literati painting that not only recalls the ancient times but also cares for the times. To be able to combine such a delicate and delicate pastoral painting situation, majestic grand themes and freehand character creations with literary and colorful style is really a contemporary master who has cultivated to be comprehensive and entered with painting.
The scenery is not full of feet, the poetry is thousands, the painting is not magical, and the pen is spiritual. Although the works on display in this exhibition are all sketches, they are full of fun and innocence. Simple and elegant, elegant and rhyme, poetic and sexual, relaxed and restrained, I hope that Mr. Zhang You's works will bring more beautiful enjoyment to the people of Shencheng. And I wish Mr. Art Tree evergreen. (Recorded by: Bai Osmanthus Li Yuehong)
