Chen Guojun was born in 1978 in Yichun, Heilongjiang Province, to a family of calligraphers and painters. His father, Chen Naixian, was a famous contemporary painter and founder of the Ice and Snow School, Mr. Yu Zhixue, and under the training of the court, Chen Guojun loved graffiti since childhood, showing extraordinary enlightenment and plastic potential.
Chen Guojun specializes in flower and bird painting and ice and snow landscapes. His paintings of flowers and birds give people a sense of elegance, freshness and elegance, and a degree of acceptance. His works are simple in pen and ink, light in tone, and depict the world in his mind, making people feel a kind of purity, kindness and beauty from the heart.
Chen Guojun's flowers, birds, insects, fish, grass and trees, vivid and vivid shapes, which is not unrelated to his solid Western painting skills laid in his early years. His brushwork is free and the lines are crisscrossed, forming a very vivid visual pattern, which is a fine and rigorous aesthetic spirit, which implies a kind of elegance, a kind of escape, a kind of book atmosphere, and a kind of national cultural righteousness that has been accumulated through traditional smelting.
Probably the bold and simple personality of the northeast people is closer to the temperament of the ice and snow landscape, and the cold, pure and simple beauty hidden in the ice and snow landscape is what Chen Guojun deeply yearns for and pursues. Driven by endless inspiration and creative impulse, Chen Guojun was more immersed in the exploration and creation of ice and snow landscape paintings while creating flower and bird paintings, and was determined to construct his own ice and snow landscape kingdom. He taught the tradition of the Fa, comprehensively studied the former Sage Ice and Snow Landscape Technique, and after having some understanding, he re-painted the Alum Ink Landscape, and he creatively integrated the brush and ink, rendering, rubbing and blank space techniques in the traditional Ice and Snow Landscape with the Yu Pai Alum Ink Landscape, which made his Ice and Snow Landscape both long in the pie and another way and full of novelty.
In Chen Guojun's ice and snow landscape paintings, in addition to depicting the natural features of his hometown frozen and snowy for thousands of miles, he also cleverly integrates the pastoral scenery and humanistic feelings. For example, the static scenery such as farmhouses, cooking smoke, red lanterns, sleighs, fence walls and other static scenes in the picture are unique customs and geographical indications of northeastern people, while the dynamic scenes such as carrying water, catching markets, skiing people, horses pulling sleds, and squirrels on branches show the passion and vitality of life. The combination of dynamic and static in the picture, the strong contrast between cold and warm, black and white, and the virtual reality are born together, which better shows the regional style of the hometown, and also shows the author's strong love for home and homesickness. It is Chen Guojun who appeals to his deep affection and love for his hometown in pen and ink, which makes the picture add a kind of power that shakes people's hearts.
While immersing himself in creation, Chen Guojun also shouldered the heavy responsibility of teaching Chinese painting at Zhengzhou Normal College and several primary and secondary schools in the city. In his teaching, he was conscientious and conscientious, and unreservedly taught painting techniques to each of his students. Over the years, his students have won frequent awards in district, municipal and national painting competitions, and he has won honorary titles such as Zhengzhou City and National Outstanding Art Tutor.
The road to art is long, arduous and beautiful. Chen Guojun was middle-aged and energetic, with his artistic talent and the spirit of diligent exploration, I believe that his artistic road will become wider and wider, his works will surely become better and better step by step, and his style will be more distinct and mature. I also believe that his Chinese painting education cause will surely conclude more fruitful results and achieve more impressive results. (Wu Nimo)
