Chen, born in Taishan, Guangdong,1965165438+10, is a famous calligrapher. He was born in a scholarly family and loved painting and calligraphy since childhood. Learn from (Kay) and Liu Haisu. He has been engaged in the creation and research of China's calligraphy and painting for many years, and his works have been highly praised by teachers Zhu Junshan and Fang Sheng of the Central Academy of Fine Arts. The main content of the work is to promote benevolence and morality, and the artistic pursuit is to advocate virtue and goodness. He is currently a member of China Calligraphers Association, executive vice president of Yangzhou Eight Eccentric Painting and Calligraphy Institute, and artistic consultant of China Calligraphy Master Network. He is the author of Chen Calligraphy Collection and Appreciation of Chen Couplets. He has been invited to hold solo book exhibitions at home and abroad for many times, participated in various calligraphy competitions and won prizes. Some of his works have been collected by many art institutions and individuals at home and abroad.

Chen Youshi inherited his family studies, and his calligraphy skills are profound. His creation is unrestrained, rigorous, heavy and elegant, smart and solemn. He pays attention to absorbing the strengths of various schools in past dynasties, and can be accepted by many parties in subject matter, conception and artistic conception. In recent years, he takes the extension of artistic conception of calligraphy and the excavation of deep culture as his creative direction, endowing it with historical connotation and sense of the times, thus opening up a new atmosphere of calligraphy.

Chen is approachable and simple and friendly. He is studious by nature and admires calligraphy all his life. I like to express my heart. Whenever and wherever the plain paper is spread out, my pen is dipped in ink, and my pen is like running water. My pen moves up and down, and I can't escape from the left and right, and there is no ambiguity and slack in stippling. The law is between his finger and wrist. Smooth lines, delicate and beautiful pen and ink are full of paper, giving off a refreshing fragrance, and the charm and charm of calligraphy art are vividly displayed. He said: "The writing and methods of calligraphy and pen and ink fully express the cultural connotation of China. Its various strokes of sitting, standing, letting go and falling are all different, but they are all contradictory and harmonious. " Through the writing expression of this different sense of rhythm, Chen's calligraphy works are vivid, natural and memorable.

China's calligraphy is the carrier of the historical development of Chinese civilization, which is closely related to the ideas of China people. Chen said that calligraphy has witnessed the development and inheritance of culture for thousands of years. From the famous ministers of past dynasties to today's literati, they regard it as a supreme artistic pursuit. They use their own views and painting management to explain their understanding of calligraphy art and historical life.

Zhuangzi said: "Great knowledge is idle, small knowledge is intermittent, big talk is hot, and small talk is lively." As a scholar, writing a book and painting also needs a broad vision and profound knowledge. Chen said: "To some extent, calligraphy is about culture and inner cultivation. The skill of calligraphy can be achieved through the usual writing training, but as the ultimate pursuit of artistic conception and charm of calligraphy art, it requires not only objective efforts, but also profound learning and cultivation. A person without cultural connotation cannot be a real calligrapher. " Therefore, in addition to the usual calligraphy study, Chen also likes to integrate ancient poetry into his own creation. He said that poetry and calligraphy have always been regarded as one. "Good poetry works will give people infinite associations and produce beautiful artistic conception. Only through calligraphy can poetry present its connotation to the appreciator. Since the Tang and Song Dynasties, calligraphers began to attach importance to the creative combination of poetry and books. Zhao Mengfu, a great literary master in the Song Dynasty, wrote "Poem on a Thousand Red Cliffs", which is vigorous and elegant, with ease, quickness and fluency. Just like his bold and elegant writing style, it naturally combines the content of words with the form of books. Only by giving calligraphy cultural connotation can its artistic charm be passed down through the ages. "

Today, Chen has devoted a lot of energy to the realistic creation of calligraphy. "People's life is inseparable from history, and people's spiritual life needs history more. Calligraphy, as the quintessence of China, has inherited and developed the historical civilization of China, and deeply influenced the real life of every generation of China people. The manuscript written by Yan Zhenqing, a calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty, is full of patriotic feelings, which still makes our hearts surge after thousands of years. Only by always paying attention to life, history and listening to the call of self-mind can artists appreciate the true meaning of China's calligraphy for thousands of years. "
