Text/Yuan Aihua
"Know each other, know each other, know each other-autumn leaves are surrounded by golden flowers in the wind ... ∕ I'm not pretending to be sentimental ∕ I have understood each other in the fleeting years ∕ Everything in the world is harmonious."
Reading the poem Rong seems to have found a bosom friend. One crisp autumn day, the reporter walked into her studio with fragrant pen and ink. On the windowsill, the pot of tiger orchids more than one meter high is lush and full of vitality, like a drawn sword. Lotus flowers with different postures are randomly inserted in the vase, which is pregnant with the song of life. ...
Think of my dear father.
Chen Yulian, the eldest daughter of China famous painter Chen Hongfei, was conquered by her calm, dignified, atmospheric and elegant temperament as soon as she saw her. She gives people a feeling of deja vu. Referring to her father, her eyes were moist and she said emotionally, "Two minutes before my father died, I wrote a picture of heaven rewarding hard work. The greatest wealth he left to future generations was self-confidence and diligence. His pursuit of art has reached a crazy level, and his life has been devoted to the art of painting and calligraphy that he loves. Although he left us, his persistent pursuit of art and indomitable personality charm will deeply inspire me to forge ahead. "
The reporter's visit aroused her deep thoughts and infinite attachment to her father. She was holding a beautiful picture album for her father in her hand, and her hand was shaking slightly. This is not an ordinary picture book. It has devoted Mr. Chen Lao's life's hard work and carried too many expectations of her father and daughter. The successful publication of Selected Works of Chen Hongfei embodies the support and selfless dedication of many caring people, which is the best witness for her to realize her father's long-cherished wish: "My father's album came out because of many factors, such as weather, geography, people and so on. In March 2008, with the care of the leaders of Henan Province and the strong support of the leaders of Henan Artists Association, on the first anniversary of his father's death, the" Longteng Shi Sheng-Chen Hongfei Exhibition of Artistic Madmen "was hosted by Henan Provincial Museum. This event is very rare in the history of calligraphy and painting exhibitions. In order to thank the Henan Museum for its great help, I donated 10 fine paintings and calligraphy represented by Longteng Olympic Games to the Henan Museum for permanent collection to comfort my father's soul in heaven. "
Holding an album of old artists in Chen Hongfei, I felt reverence. /kloc-more than 0/00 masterpieces tell the world about the heroic spirit of an old artist who "does not compete with the world, dares to build mountains and sing the breeze". Mr. Chen Hongfei is honest, he is wild and unruly. His calligraphy works are a combination of calligraphy and painting, with both form and spirit, which have both the heroic spirit of Huai Su and the style of Banqiao. His paintings are bold, creative, profound and philosophical. His works are "new, strange, crazy and strange", which are extraordinary and memorable.
Art is endless.
Chen Yulian grew up in such a family of calligraphy and painting, and was influenced by his father at an early age. He can not only recite poems and paint, but also write a good hand. He studied under Wang Jianguo, a famous calligraphy educator in China, and Zhang, a famous painter. In recent years, with her persistent pursuit of the art of painting and calligraphy, she has made her mark in the field of painting and calligraphy. The painter Zhang once made the following comments on the Chinese painting Life: As a masterpiece of the lotus pond, it is cleverly composed, covered with lotus leaves and dancing like a lady's skirt; Lotus houses gather and disperse, whispering and setting each other off; Water mushrooms stand upright, arranged in the middle, moving and quiet; A water bird is a quiet, alert and interesting bird. The "live eyes" in the picture are wonderful, the colors are bright and not flattering, the shades are transparent, the pen is dry and moist, if it is stained with water, the inside is close to the outside, if it is reflected by water, it is full of poetry and painting.
Hard work pays off. In recent years, her paintings and calligraphy works have won awards in domestic exhibitions, and many essays and poems have been published in many domestic newspapers and periodicals. Her achievements in the field of art have been reported by many media. Today, although she is 60 years old, she is a tireless climber on the art road. Her ideal art palace is so holy and beautiful. She moves forward step by step like a worshipper.
In the face of many honors, she is still calm and calm. As she said in "Say", "I hope one after another, connecting a series of dreams, finding a good home for autumn leaves and achieving golden glory, coming and going in a hurry, don't show off too much, autumn will come again, and we are together with fertile soil and sunshine.
Grandma once taught me that life is like paving the way.
Open Baidu website, reports about Chen Hongfei's father and daughter's passion for charity abound. When their father and daughter's actions attracted much attention from the society, Chen Yulian smiled gently when interviewed by the media: "The highest state of art is to do more good deeds. We want to be grateful in this way, repay the society and let more people find the joy of life. "
Chen Yulian told reporters: "When I was a teenager, I had two vines at home. Every summer, the trees are crowded with neighbors who play and do needlework. Attractive grapes were covered with branches, but they watched the grapes turn from green to yellow and from yellow to purple, and no one ever picked them. In the harvest season, grandma will let me carry baskets and deliver grapes door to door, looking at the empty blue. If you eat and fill the hole yourself, others will become famous. A person's life is like paving the road. Even if you don't walk once in this life, you can't wait until you leave. " Grandma has never read a book, but many of her views have fixed my orientation in dealing with people. She taught me to be tolerant, generous, have a kind heart, pay more and do more good deeds. "
Grandma's casual words became her motto in life. Over the years, she has not only integrated her love of life into calligraphy, painting and poetry, but also actively participated in some public welfare activities in society. Every time the country is in trouble, she gives generously and gives love. Where there are charitable donations, there is always a familiar figure at the scene. Her righteous act was recognized by the society, and she was accepted by Zhengzhou Charity Federation as "the director of Zhengzhou Charity Federation".
Be a real person and create a natural work.
As the saying goes: "Look at his paintings, look at his people." Chen Yulian changed from an enterprise operator to a painter, which is a leap-forward change. With the change of identity, the thought is also changing greatly. How to treat this problem? In her own words: "This is a qualitative change. Enterprise management mainly depends on economic benefits. Without benefits, there can be no development. The art of calligraphy and painting is inspired. It is a creation of beauty and the condensation and release of lofty spirit. It is pure art, and it is a feeling of life. It's like a pool of clear water. Once it is full, it will naturally overflow and be irresistibly reflected. The two are different and have the same effect.
Outside, she is a veritable "strong woman", a famous painter and professional teacher in the Central Plains, and a competent wife and mother at home. It is no exaggeration to say that she is a typical representative of women in the Central Plains. She is busy with writing, teaching, housework, socializing, etc. She plays a harmonious and beautiful melody like jumping notes on the keys, and brings out a colorful life like a palette.
Calligraphers' writing shows the character, charm, intelligence and beauty of the characters. It is not only the author's feelings and skills, but the author's attitude towards life, not just the author's personality, but the author's pursuit that melts in the horizontal, vertical, left-handed and pressure. When a painter is creating, he is not only sketching and smearing, but also expressing his feelings, temperament and taste.
As a person, Chen Yulian gives people the impression that the atmosphere is unobtrusive, rigorous and inflexible. Observing her paintings, reading her poems, reading her words, there is a trace of Zen in her poetry. She put the passion of life and the beauty of nature into painting, engraved her feelings about life in her heart, gathered into a stream and flowed happily in poetry. She has answers, and her bold creation is natural and free. Her pen is unpretentious, with both form and spirit, full of interest, somewhat elegant and clever, and the literati atmosphere is vividly displayed.
The interview is coming to an end, and the poems in her "Year after year" give people confidence and hope: year after year ∕ years are spent in glory ∕ you have stretched in the morning sun ∕ you have experienced ups and downs in the wind and rain ∕ you are relaxed ∕ confusion is relieved through experience ... Memories are often beautiful. Once you have it, you get it.
