The hostess of this solo exhibition, the calligrapher and painter Wen Wei, has been studying the art of literati painting for decades. Cold and summer, she traveled all over the famous mountains and rivers, asked her predecessors, meditated and realized, worked tirelessly all year round, and changed the law at the end of the pen every time.
The spirit of the ancient literati has hydrated the beauty of Jiangshan, and this is not, she has brought the latest masterpiece to the Audience of Jiangxi:
The "Chengping Zhiyuan - Wenwei Calligraphy and Painting Art Exhibition" sponsored by the Jiangxi Provincial Art Museum opened on September 25 at the Jiangxi Provincial Art Museum, closing on September 30.
How can a painting be called a masterpiece? Because they are all "poetry, painting and printing" four complete. Because a painter who can do poetry can concentrate on painting. What the painting cannot reach, use poetry to make up for it. The lines of the painting are made of calligraphic brushes, and the poem mentions the date and the artist's self-title, and is stamped with a special compositional seal. A standard literati comprehensive art is qualified.
From Wen Wei's four lessons of "Poetry and Character Printing", the audience can feel her thoughts and ingenuity. Among these works, there are the most distinctive huge landscape paintings she has brought from thousands of miles, as well as the female figures created in 2020, as well as the wild grass and Xiaokai calligraphy that best reflect the skills of Chinese painters.
During this trip to Nanchang, Wen Wei thought about it for a long time. Because this trip to Jiangnan is Wen Wei's trip to Jiangnan after the national calligraphy and painting exhibition began in 2014. Jiangnan's vast waves and misty smoke bring her endless creative inspiration. In order to repay the jiangbiao of the person Jie Diling, Wen Wei handed over a copy of her "homework".
"Snow Flying Smoke And Jelly"
"Holy Mountain Izumo Smoke"
"Water Reflection Empty Mountain Show"
"Heart"
"The Frost of the Heavenly Heavens"
Wen Wei's masterpiece, which has been unanimously praised by the art world and its masterpiece in 2021, "The Frost of the Heavens and Miles of the River", will be honored in this solo exhibition.
The inspiration for this painting comes from Chairman Mao's poem "Picking Mulberries and Chongyang". The poem was composed by the Chairman in 1929 during the agrarian revolution. Wen Wei entered the scene with affection and empathized with the revolutionary optimism of the Chinese Communists who were not afraid of difficulties.
This masterpiece is as grand and shocking as the grand theme of the words. Although Wen Weizhi's paintings have the interest of the literati, the connotation is different from the niche personality of the literati and contains great love. There is both the purity of the breeze and the bright moon, and the magnificent composition, which expresses the spirit of the times that is surging in China at present, and reflects the painter's deep love for the mountains and rivers of the motherland.
Wen Wei is one of the few female painters in China who can create a large painting of one zhang and two landscapes.
The reason why Wen Wei has excellent traditional skills stems from a unique family education, and she is an intellectual who grew up with traditional education. At the age of four, Wen Wei was enlightened by the Tao Te Ching and the Mustard Garden Painting Spectrum, and the Tao Te Ching melted into her spiritual bloodline. In his youth, Wen Wei, who was originally a fledgling, met Mr. Rao Zongyi, the seventh president of the Xiling Printing Society and a master of traditional Chinese studies, in Hong Kong, and Elder Rao was surprised that Wen Wei opened his mouth to come to the classics of traditional Chinese studies, and specially wrote a character for Wen Wei - "Good Ancient Music Road". "Good ancient" refers to Wen Wei's unique ancient literati qualities, and "Le Dao" refers to the Taoist temperament of Wen Wei's immortal wind Dao bones.
Wen Wei's Jiangnan literati temperament is exactly in line with Jiangxi's cultural temperament. "A flower and a tree of black and white poetry, a mountain and a water of several colors."
Wen Wei lives in the Beijing art circle, not bypassing other doors, chasing the Ming, Qing, Song and Yuan dynasties, and painting the Tao to find roots, which may be the enlightenment of her familiar recitation of the Tao Te Ching. In fact, the spirit of Chinese art mainly comes from the Daofa, Shi Tao's painting theory, and the Daofa life of two, two, three, three, all things, in fact, is in the same line.
《Return》
Red Rain
"Qi Qi into the Micro Cheng"
"Drizzle in the Flowers"
"Wind and Rain and River Days"
Wen Wei's paintings, whether landscapes or figures, are written with brush strokes, and small paintings are like her shy Wenxiu. Ms. Wen Wei is elegant and quiet, intellectually sexy, quiet as water on the outside, magnificent in the heart, and painted like her people. There is a hazy beauty – a quiet, quiet, calm, pure beauty.
The maids in her paintings are full of worries - the mentality of the little woman who wants to say and return the rest: "the flow of water is speechless, the red face is all paying", "the west wind seems to know the meaning, the flowers are not returned", the ladies "hold the pipa and half cover their faces", and are hazy and subtle, touching and profound.
Ladies or pen, or playing the piano, or dragging fans, or lotus branches, or eyebrows, or meditation, graceful and colorful, vivid, its layout is born of virtual reality, "no painting is interesting", quite the essence of Chinese literati painting; see the gentle and wise heart of women, a hint of childish cuteness in the brushstrokes, thus deeply seeing the humble heart of a humble gentleman in family learning.
Wen Wei's paintings are simple in composition, with beautiful lines, clean and sharp, and never drag mud with water. Her character paintings highlight the main line of characters, supplemented by flowers and grasses, pavilions, and large blank spaces, highlighting the inner portrayal of the characters and expressing a rich inner world. The composition is very characteristic and has a distinct personality. With a pen and a freehand writing, he came out of the tradition and deeply rooted in the tradition.
The progress of painting is inseparable from the progress of calligraphy, Wenwei Xiaokai and large characters are ancient, small kai strokes are solid, chapters are staggered, there is simplicity between dot paintings, there is a literary heart, there is no craftsmanship, the two lines of grass in this exhibition are from Su Shi's words, and the neat small kai is from the "Tao Te Ching"
Wen Wei belongs to the traditional inheritors, get the second king of the law milk, loose and free, cheerful and vigorous, wanton and indulgent, bold and strong, with powerful brushwork and vivid layout, in the Xiurun to see the vigor, dignified and agile, you can see its nourishment, the true strength is full, "borrow pen and ink to write about the heavens and the earth, and Tao Yong is also me", the show is majestic, the spirit is long, the wind is heroic, and the standard can be rewarded.
Only those who have done well in the four disciplines of poetry, calligraphy and painting can be called literati painters. Wen Wei's inscription poems are all improvised by herself according to the artistic conception of the picture, and many of them are neat and rational and wonderful joint sentences.
"Return to the heart with the hands, the wind and rain and the river and the sky" is the understanding of noble love; "Qingshan sees me as I should be, I see Qingshan as it is" is the collision between the country and the heart; "The young people are unwilling to wait for idle swimming, and the original heart is like a wave always chasing the Yangtze River." "It should be her inspirational motto for Qing cultivation, indeed, decadent and self-indulgent, and the art path is difficult to achieve." Where Dan's heart is sent, Wanli leads the way" is an outpouring of her ambition to be confident in her own artistic path.
Ancients Cloud: The realm is created by the heart. Wen Wei's artistic style not only stems from profound philosophical attainments, but also from a unique sense of life. "The thickness of virtue is greater than that of a naked child." "After the body and the body first, outside the body and the body" This is the Tao Te Ching scripture that Wen Wei often feels.
"Great for the product, painting for the heart, women for the soft, diligent for the teaching". Wen Wei is painstakingly lonely on the road of artistic pursuit, and her personality is longitudinal, like a crane with high spirits, with frost and snow; she is unique, poetry, calligraphy and painting are perfect, and wei has become everyone.
