Green Mountains and Flowers|Special Scenery Cai Yonghua Special Exhibition
Mountains, rivers and turquoise have gradually developed from being used as a setting for the creation of historical figure paintings to independently depicted images, which on the surface is a change in subject matter, but in essence, it is a diversified progress of human independent aesthetic spirit. As Zong Bing said in the "Preface to Painting Landscapes": "The old and sick are coming, and the famous mountains may be difficult to see, but only with a clear view of the Tao, lying down to swim in it", even if there is a stubborn disease, it cannot stop the longing for a long time to swim in the landscape. For Chinese literati, mountains and rivers have never been only the water and soil that can only be played, but also have the transcendence and affection of the heart and the mysteries.
The "spirit of life" of this landscape painting was born in the resonance between the artist's mind and the objectively existing landscape and object. Landscape painting without spirituality is tantamount to piecing together soulless lines and ink blocks, and will surely be destroyed under the flood of the times. Only the schema that condenses the rhythm of life, through the rich layers of brushwork, integrates the mountains, rivers, pine clouds and the painter's inspiration and intuition, wraps in the myriad changes of the wonderful world, transcends time and space, and constantly gives the viewer a new life experience.
"But the breeze on the river, and the bright moon in the mountains, the sound of the ears, the color of the eyes, the inexhaustible. It is the infinite hiding of the Creator, and the place where I and the Son are in harmony. As Dongpo said, the endless mountains and rivers are the treasures of heaven and earth, and the towering mountains rely on the surging flowing water, completely surpassing the limits of time and space, silently witnessing the vicissitudes of life in the changes of the world, and bringing people endless philosophical thoughts on the universe. All living beings are suddenly like distant guests, sighing where Meng Degongjin is now. It can be seen that our universe is not only composed of a pure and simple physical world, but also contains the subjective feelings of objective human beings. The plants, trees, mountains and rocks in the world of the universe give people endless inspiration, and the painter's imagination of the world is so wonderful that he is fond of the landscape, and projects the spirit of life in the Liuhe, creating a variety of works of art, forming a "vigorous and endless" Vientiane.
