Preface to China Famous Artists' Small Paintings in Red Robe
Zhou Hehe's paintings have their own distinct personality. As can be seen from his works, while inheriting traditional painting, he also pays attention to realistic sketch, grasps the whole in painting, and forms the beauty of blending, unity of opposites and harmony in the relationship between line, line and ink. Smooth and rhythmic ink lines have an impact on vision.
The charm of ink painting brings people a kind of psychological harmony, strength and beauty. Look at his mountain village paintings again, they are full, dense and dynamic, which excites readers and is full of vitality in details.
When you open the painting collection of Zhouhehe, a sincere feeling arises spontaneously. If you look through it, you will find that the content and expression angle of the work have remarkable characteristics. In the book, the old and new homes and houses of many nationalities are the main parts, and the pictures are full of local flavor and thick brushwork.
Zhou Hehe was born in Guangling, Shaanxi, and moved to Henan with his parents since childhood. He drank Yellow River water in Kaifeng, the ancient capital, and grew up absorbing Central Plains culture. In the initial painting process, he mainly studied the traditional landscape painting techniques of the four great kings of Qing Dynasty (Wang Shimin, Wang Jian, Wang _, Wang) and practiced calligraphy hard. In the famous painting The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival, he felt that his painting should be like that of Bai Juyi, a poet in the Tang Dynasty. Poetry works together to do things, and the greatness of Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival is not only of artistic significance, but also of great value and historical significance that can not be achieved by showing social customs, social structure and personnel relations at that time. From then on, he made up his mind to travel all over the mountains and rivers of the motherland with his picture clip on his back, to express the real life of the present era with his own brush, and to be a singer of truth, goodness and beauty in contemporary society.
Zhou Hehe was full of confidence and worked very hard to complete his major in Chinese painting in the Fine Arts Department of Henan University. After graduation, I walked into the deep forest and ancient village canyon, and started the artistic mileage of sketching, collecting materials and experiencing life. During this period, he created many works, such as Autumn Fun in the South of the Yangtze River, Xiao Yi in the Mountain Village, Autumn Sound and Qiu Ge in the Ancient Source, and won prizes in Henan and national art exhibitions. He He, who is less than 30 years old, has made his mark in the art world. At that time, I worked in the Chinese Painting Group of Kaifeng Painting Academy and often went to the Canton Fair to participate in the export exchange of calligraphy and painting. Influenced by the wave of reform and opening up, he left the Painting Academy and founded an export toy factory. After doing this for several years, he earned money, got a car and a house, but his "heart disease" became more and more serious. Although toy design is also an art, it is an oath with his original intention. Hehe, I no longer hesitated, bid farewell to the business field, dissolved the toy factory, set up my own "Xuanyi Painting Academy" in Hainan, and returned to the road of painting.
On the road of sketching for nearly ten years, he crossed the Minjiang River with a big picture clip weighing 20 kilograms, ran to the mouth of the lake, waded through mountains and rivers, began to write at dawn, dragged his tired body back to the camp in the dark, splashed ink day and night, and accumulated more than 1000 sketches. Really desperate! Created a vivid masterpiece with real life as the theme. His works, Spring Arrives at Lijiazhai, Sunny Noon, Taihang Charm, Skillful Hands and Diligence, Someone in Bai Yunsheng, Lowland Love, After the Rain, etc., have been published in national core journals and mainstream media. His works have been constantly affirmed at home and abroad. His endless paintings and his trip to Wan Li Road are the true portrayal of Zhouhe. Under his guidance, many disciples also entered the deep life.
On the 4th anniversary of the 20 12 Wenchuan Earthquake, Hehe led his disciples Liang Zengquan and Chen Fudang to Sichuan to paint their new homes and former residences with their own brushes. When he came to the old Beichuan county, facing the "mass grave" in front of him and listening to people's stories, the northern man who didn't cry easily seemed to hear the screams of children buried in Beichuan middle school, primary school and kindergarten during the earthquake, and he shed tears sadly. In Xinjian county, he and his disciples sat by the roadside and set up a two-meter-high easel. Under the scorching sun, he wrote about the changes in Wenchuan's newly-built primary schools and Qiang people's homes, and the spirit that people in the earthquake-stricken areas were not intimidated by any difficulties. In his sketches, he saw flags and slogans hanging on many buildings, saying, "Thanks to the motherland, thanks to the people". Xiao Hongpao's paintings have been selected as many emotional masterpieces in this field.
Zhou Hehe's works are vivid, intense, solemn and heavy. More importantly, from the perspective of observing life, he recorded the real life of beautiful homeland where all ethnic minorities live in harmony and change with each passing day. In a word, Zhou Hehe's works are true and vigorous, and heaven and man are one. He is in the golden age of artistic creation, and I firmly believe that his future artistic course will be more brilliant, and he will write beautiful masterpieces with hard sweat.
Classic reading
(Hong Kong press feature)
When a landscape painter chooses a natural scene to paint, he should not only choose and reorganize what he has found in nature, but also see the whole.
Objects are recombined, making them obey the order and structure he discovered, created and purified, and creating a new property, which distinguishes a major object from everything around. Visually, it is no longer a simple record of the composition of a simple object, but conveys a kind of information, which is an attractive and inspiring form of induction.
Knowing nature and understanding nature is also a process of knowing yourself. Painting is a process of expressing one's concept of existence with one's cognitive thinking activities, and abstractly thinking about realistic objects with the specific content of painting language, so as to understand consciousness, deepen the essence of things and promote the improvement of understanding. This is how Zhou Hehe works hard. He is good at landscape painting. Most of his paintings are freehand brushwork in ink and wash, paying attention to the interest of pen and ink, reflecting his inner feelings, integrating natural landscapes into his chest, and then integrating his inner thoughts into nature, and expressing his feelings and understanding of nature through his works. He understands that form is entity and God is role. In the practice of artistic creation, knowledge is transferred to the object, and the object is recreated. Reading his paintings has a fresh, implicit and profound feeling. Zhou Hehe is a well-trained and skillful painter, but he pays more attention to drawing nutrition from nature, expressing and expanding the momentum and spirit of natural space through natural modeling, and expressing and conveying an experience of nature, which is also the overflow of his subjective spirit and visual spirit.
As a landscape painter, he chooses landscape as his language carrier to express his feelings and feelings, so when he looks at natural landscapes, his heart and eyes often go back and forth. This feeling is born from the real landscape, and the principle of painting is obtained in the real landscape. There is a telepathy between man and nature, and we can realize the vitality of all things from the harmony between heaven and earth. I have magic in my chest, so it can be mine. Only by injecting one's feelings into the scenery and expressing the inner spirit of the objective scenery into one's feelings can the picture achieve infinite artistic conception and charm. Painting takes the real landscape as a model, combined with its own aesthetic feelings, so that the landscape is in a limited picture composition, and the composition is reasonable and harmonious with the pen and ink, so that the picture has infinite spatial depth. Only by worshiping nature, learning from nature and understanding nature can we integrate our thoughts and feelings into objects, entrust our feelings with pen and ink, express our feelings through scenery, and blend scenes to achieve the realm of "I am a landscape, and the landscape is mine" and show the spirit of landscape.
Zhou Hehe's painting skills are profound, and his landscape works have their own unique style. He described the nature in his heart with poetic imagery, and showed the life bred by nature with his own wonderful pen. In order to go deep into life, Zhou Hehe has traveled all over the country for many years, visited places of interest and historic interest in China, sketched thousands of paintings, learned from others' strengths, went deep into nature, understood nature, made the past serve the present, applied reality in painting, sought for the strange in the plain, sought for God in the strange, broke the light ink and broke the thick ink, and sought for layers with heavy ink, thus obtaining thick paintings.

In his life of sketching for nearly ten years, Zhou Hehe always carried a large picture clip weighing 20 kilograms and waded through mountains and rivers. I started writing at dawn and dragged my tired body back to camp in the dark. I splashed ink day and night, and wrote more than 1000 sketches, such as Spring in Lijiazhai and Skillful Hands.
20 12, the 4th anniversary of Wenchuan earthquake, hehe led his disciples to Sichuan to paint new and old homes with his own brush. When he came to the old Beichuan county, facing the "mass grave" in front of him, listening to people's complaints, the northern man who didn't cry easily shed tears sadly. He spent the whole day painting the monument of sad works without eating or drinking. In Xinjian county, he and his disciples sat on the roadside and set up a 2-meter-high easel, painting the changes of Wenchuan's newly-built primary school and Qiang people's homes under the scorching sun, and painting the spirit that the people in the earthquake-stricken areas are not intimidated by any difficulties.
