——Remembering the famous calligrapher and painter Li Changchun
The merits of pen and ink with the times require artists to cast with the dual force of inheritance and innovation. Only inheritance is rigid, but innovation loses the root. Li Changchun, a famous contemporary calligraphy and painting artist, obsessively inherits the cultural dragon vein of the same origin of calligraphy and painting, and has a far-sighted innovative talent, so he writes the ink master Gu Qiuzhen Method, creates new achievements with the times, and becomes an authentic source of law in the contemporary art world, an enterprising and outstanding celebrity!
The artistic value of contemporary calligraphy and painting works has a fairly accurate connection mechanism with the price system of the auction market. That is to say, the quality of calligraphy and painting does not need to be "storytelled", and only needs to look at the price of the work in the auction market, which can be seen at a glance. The transparent mechanism of price fraud allows many ordinary admirers of calligraphy and painting to reflect on the value and taste of their works from the price system.
If a calligraphy and painting work does not have a hard-core positioning of market value, then it is inevitable that its artistic value will be said to be crazy, and it is inevitable that there will be a suspicion of vain praise. Therefore, for the value determination of Li Changchun's peony works, it is advisable to check the status of the works in the market price system. His peony paintings "Zhengrong Years" and "Spring Colors" started at the 2019 Singapore Spring Auction with starting prices of 2 million and 1 million, respectively, and after fierce bidding, the former sold for 3.6 million and the latter for 1.8 million! The market is smart, and the identification of the market is essential, so Li Changchun's peony must be the high-end of artistic value!
So we can't help but ask, why does a contemporary painter's peony work have a high-end position in the market price system? In fact, the answer is very obvious: Li Changchun's painting of peonies is different! Out of this world! The common brush painting peony, mostly small paintings by craftsmen, according to the existing paradigm of the peony painting method, or the brush or freehand, is decent, and the phenomenon of production is very obvious. These peony paintings made according to the paradigm, thousands of people are homogeneous, thousands of paintings are the same title, is a copy of the law of the painting spectrum, there is no pleasing pen and ink creation artistic conception.
Li Changchun painted peonies, in addition to the exquisite inheritance of the painting notation method, but also the extraordinary innovation of the teacher's painting notation. In the composition, it breaks through the small family temperament of peony for small paintings, a large masterpiece, a smooth use of pen and ink, dignified and self-generated, and a colorful and joyful success! The pen is based on the work, and the freehand is clever. The workmanship is meticulous but not kitsch, the freehand path is majestic, the look is majestic, and it has become a huge wave of emotions!
The branches and leaves are thickly ink-plated, not floating or shallow, the flower heads are layered, the titanium dioxide and the colors are integrated and separated, producing a special sense of halo, and the fluidity of the line is not lost, delicate and colorful, and like steel cast iron, through the paper like cloud smoke, suddenly like relief, deep into the depths, protruding to the outside, the spatial level is full and clear, making people feel like dreams.
Super pen and ink charm, so that his peony beyond only writing rich and noble ordinary themes, has the spirit of the style of the times! The value of the otherworldly and artistic masterpiece is high-end, so it will have a high price. In fact, the price of these otherworldly peony works will never stop at the current sky-high price of millions of yuan, and in time, the rapid increase in the price of several rounds will inevitably be the market's reward for collectors!
The atmosphere is majestic and painted novelty, and the ancient stele of the Division is Thehan Mogong. He was the master of creating the wonders of the majestic peony, and he was also a calligrapher who chased the inscription into Han Mo Qigong. His calligraphy takes Tang Kai as the law, Shi Yan and Liu as the sect, the penmanship is exquisite, he has the strength of the calligraphy without deception, and he also makes good use of jian pen and ink to write the round and thick grass of the dragon flying, the rigidity and softness are harmonious, the soul of the stele and the thesis are fully absorbed, and the Jin Yun Tang method is integrated. Calligraphy and painting are of the same origin is culture, calligraphy and painting are the same as achievements, Li Changchun uses the cultural concept of the same origin, and the two cultivations of calligraphy and painting have gained the same achievements, following the dragon vein, inheriting culture, and the most admirable master style!

Heavenly pride and wealth meet Zhiyin Peony on the king of the honor
Peony is a thousand years of beautiful Chinese painting subjects, because the cultural image of peony has become the main line of traditional aesthetics, if the painter can not have a complete inheritance and new creation in peony painting, painting peony is not successful, it is easy to produce the "painter" name of the virtual doubt. Therefore, all Chinese painters will try their skills on the peony problem, and the peony painting topic has become the touchstone of the painter's skill, one is to test the artist's true strength, and the other is to try out the painter's cultivation realm. Mr. Li Changchun, a famous painter, has entered the deep essence of the painting topic, taking inheritance and innovation as the wing, and has become a large stroke with high peony painting titles. If we talk about who is the king of the peony in the painting world, look forward to Mr. Wang Xiaogu can be called the king of the peony, and when viewed at the moment, it should be continued to be called the king's honor with Mr. Li Changchun's extraordinary peony achievements.
The reason why Li Changchun has the reputation of the king in the peony painting is because his peony paintings are inherited from tradition and are rich in innovation, whether it is the form and demeanor, or the structure of the cultural realm, they are outstanding and unique, so that the artistic value of peony works has reached the height of the era. It cannot be said that there is no one after that, but it is enough to say that there is no such thing as before!
Chinese painting is based on freehand, and oil painting is capable of realism. Freehand is easy to omit its morphological beauty, realism is easy to dilute the beauty of imagery, so simply using Chinese painting methods to paint peonies, or using simple oil painting means to actually paint peonies, are pros and cons, can not be double dilemma. Can we open up the path of cultural accommodation between Chinese and Western painting? This is a major direction of modern art masters, and it is also a topic that Mr. Li Changchun has explored for many years.
For example, Xu Beihong's use of realistic techniques to paint horses is a realistic temptation based on the anatomy of oil painting, and it is obvious that this temptation is successful, so it has also achieved Xu Beihong's honorific name of Ma Wang. After the initial victory of the test success, but did not usher in victory again, because when Xu Beihong tried to use the light and shadow techniques of oil painting to paint the light and shade of bamboo, he obviously diluted the temperament of the ink bamboo imagery and lost the charm taste of Chinese bamboo culture, so Xu Feihong's exploration of blended oil painting and Chinese painting techniques was achieved in structural realism, lost in the rhyme brewing, there were gains and losses, and it was counted as a horse painting.
Of course, Mr. Li Changchun will not let the accommodation of Chinese and Western painting methods stagnate on the topic of "horse painting", he is determined to win, according to his deep understanding of the traditional painting method of peony, and then rely on his skillful skill in oil painting techniques, the realistic form of the face, light and shadow light and dark modeling techniques quietly and harmlessly grafted into the creation of peony painting, so that the peony in the two states of the god shape of the green ecology and elegant charm, the flower head is really pleasing to the eye, the flowers and leaves are green, and there is more artistic divine tension, the beauty of the form, the charm of the gods, the beauty of the gods, the charm of the heart, the charm can be full of heart, It has become a new successful example of the integration of Chinese and Western painting techniques on the basis of the "horse painting" of the predecessors.
Heavenly pride and wealth meet Zhiyin, peony on the king of honor. If Xu Beihong's horse painting is taken as a successful case basis for Chinese and Western painting techniques, then Mr. Li Changchun's peony painting is the second successful case basis for successfully integrating the realism of oil painting with the imagery style of Chinese painting. The two basis points are connected into a line, in fact, it fully opens up the linear witness of the integration of Chinese and Western paintings and can mark the era! Therefore, Xu Beihong used the structural realism technique of oil painting to paint horses, becoming the confidant of horse painting, calling the master, Li Changchun used the light and shadow of oil painting to live the historical rich rhyme of peony painting, becoming the confidant of peony painting, and also the gushing of master talent!

Aiming for a new and indefinite rule, Chinese and Western fusion paintings
Chinese painting and oil painting belong to two aesthetic systems, which have formed cultural barriers in people's aesthetic thinking! Therefore, it is difficult for anyone to open up the attempt to integrate Chinese painting method and oil painting method, and it is difficult for someone to open it up and innovate to the point of pain! Lest the result of making anything different becomes a joke, which makes contemporary painters put preconceived shackles on their creations in the first place. However, the painter Li Changchun has the courage and insight, and also has the wisdom of cultural integration, so he dares to break the communication barrier between Chinese and Western painting methods, and use the innovative kinetic energy of great excitement to closely and freely integrate the Chinese painting method and the oil painting method into one, and use it to paint peonies, resulting in creating a new territory of his own art, and also allowing Chinese culture and Western culture to produce a new chapter that can amaze the world through the grafting of Danqing! Looking up at his paintings, I can't help but feel nostalgic: cultural self-confidence coupled with cultural knowledge, we have to have the extraordinary achievements of Mr. Li Changchun and Yixi painting peonies!
Dare to break the barrier between Chinese and Western cultures in the degree of painting law, because Mr. Li Changchun found the creation mechanism of Chinese painting and oil painting: sketching is the law! In Li Changchun's artistic vision, oil painting needs the accumulation of sketching, and Chinese painting also needs the tempering of sketching! Only by painting realistically, you have to draw the core! Without realistic sketching, we will not achieve the true kung fu of the Fa and not deceiving others, and the merits of not deceiving the world. Therefore, mr. Li Changchun's paintings do not deliberately distinguish the differences between oil painting and Chinese painting, but identify the focus of the intersection of all paintings that need to have positive methods! In the realism of the effort, every time you paint, there is always a sketch and pondering in front of you. The natural ecology of the peony topic has taken deep roots in his heart field, and it can become an image that germinates from the heart, and then confidently shapes the image of Danqing! Both form and god, elegant and customary appreciation. The fusion of East and West, never seen in ancient times!
In the rendering of color, its peonies are deeply in line with the thick Huazi of Chinese painting, and also conform to the color of oil painting. The laying out of colors is not only light color, but also glossy. Color comes from the method of light and shadow of oil painting, Ze comes from the hydration of Chinese painting, because he is familiar with Chinese painting methods and oil painting methods, so when he creates peonies, he can arbitrarily dispatch the painting methods of two aesthetic systems, and become the shaping of "oil painting and Chinese painting"! Those who can cross the river must have two ends as the foundation, and they can build a strong kung fu of crossing the bridge, Li Changchun is such a virtuous and virtuous family, skillful in cultivating at the chinese and western ends, and finally being able to cross the bridge on both sides of the bridge! By the way, Mr. Li's peony works have become classic examples of kung fu, and cultural integration can be naturally generated in the painting!
Aiming for a new and uncertain, The Fusion of Chinese and Western paintings. The key reason why Mr. Li has achieved the creative achievements of oil painting and Chinese painting that are compatible and do not violate each other is that his cultural position is particularly high! Rooted in the thick soil of traditional culture, it can grow into a broad vision covering Western culture, standing tall and seeing far! Jump out of the East, not fall to the West, but look at art at the level of all mankind, so that the difference between east and west is getting smaller and smaller, and the space for integration is getting bigger and bigger! His paintings are painted for all mankind, are new art that can be pleasing to the world, and the cultural merit is immeasurable!
