Works review
The scenery here is very unique.
Author: Zi Han
I know Ding Yazhong from his paintings. Seeing his paintings for the first time can be described as shock. His paintings seem to have an ethereal and out-of-touch feeling beyond the root of dust. The relaxed brushwork seems to promote a super-free state of artistic creation and set up a rest place for viewers in the vast world. Out of nothing, out of nothing, intention to write first, unexpected environment, broken pen meaning, broken spirit. He painted an invisible feeling through tangible pen and ink. Be moved by spirit, rhythm, emotion, strength, reason or fun. Free and easy, but integrated, very harmonious. Especially in his landscape paintings, it has strong visual impact and full picture tension. The mountains and rivers in his works, either steep or swift, are like clouds looming, and just like the rhythm of running water, seeping into people's hearts bit by bit from the alienated natural fence, all of which convey a profound artistic atmosphere.
I forget who said "Jiangnan has been a gifted scholar since ancient times". Ding Yazhong was born in Zhangjiagang, a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, which is enviable. In Lingshan, a picturesque and unique "Xanadu", the young Ding Yashen was deeply influenced by the artistic atmosphere, which laid a solid foundation for his future artistic path, thus breaking the cocoon into a butterfly and creating amazing works one after another.
I was a little nervous before visiting Mr. Ding, but I dare say that anyone who has met and chatted with him will be impressed by his innate artistic temperament. He is extremely modest, seeking neither fame nor profit, and is not mysterious. Speaking and doing things are extremely decisive and capable, and elegant.
As people often say, painting is like a person, and it is true. His paintings are generous from the north, exquisite from the south, elegant and beautiful from people with flowing bridges, and magnificent from rivers to yen. The two are in harmony, well controlled, and make people feel different.
From his works, it is not difficult to see that he has quite solid basic skills. They are quite skilled in composition, pen and ideological conception. In many of his works, such as his masterpiece Autumn Rhyme of Xiajiang River, Autumn Twilight, Warm Clouds and Shafts by Jinsha River, Late Autumn Rhyme of Xiajiang Valley, etc. , you can try it. Although Ding Yazhong's works are famous for their atmosphere and grandeur as a whole, they are also very delicate in details. In his works, whether it is a distant tree or a nearby stream; Whether it is a bird in the air or a house on land, it is very spiritual and interesting. In this magnificent mountain and river, the air is full of clouds, green trees and red flowers are everywhere, and boats on the river are bamboo rafts, so that viewers will always unconsciously walk into the endless picture scroll, which really has the artistic conception of "sailing on the blue waves and painting people in the world".
In addition to creating a large number of landscape paintings, Ding Yazhong occasionally makes some flower-and-bird paintings in his spare time, which is full of vitality and refreshing.
Since 2009, Ding Yazhong has boldly tried to splash ink, seeking natural pen and ink language in abstraction, and making his works closer to the times and life. Pen and ink should follow the times, Chinese painting is innovative, and paintings full of the spirit of the times will inevitably resonate with more audiences.
Whenever he talks about his artistic achievements, he always changes his generous character and becomes a little shy. He said that there are too many people who want to thank him for his persistence, but what he can't forget most is that his first teacher, Mr. Ordinary (Li), has an eye for pearls and devoted himself to cultivation to achieve today's achievements.
When asked about his future plans, he still sincerely said: I am still young, and the road to art in the future is still very long. No matter how bumpy and tortuous, as long as I keep my faith, move towards my goal and go on unswervingly, I believe I will reach the other side of my ideal. I'm not a prophet, but I dare say, Ding Yazhong, you will definitely become China's Rembrandt and make greater achievements, because you have the potential for success and unique charm.
As the saying goes, "The road is long, and I will go up and down." . Let's experience the wonderful life of "the scenery here is unique" with Ding Yazhong!
Ding Yazhong and his freehand brushwork landscapes
Ding Yazhong is a landscape painter who stands out at the turn of the new century. He is one of the few people who has devoted himself to the study of splash-ink landscapes and made continuous achievements. For more than ten years, he has faced difficulties with outstanding courage, soared between heaven and earth, and interacted with the spirit of heaven and earth alone. Build a colorful world with a lot of splash-ink landscapes. This should be a basic summary of Ding Ya's landscape painting and an evaluation of his aesthetic ideal.
Ding Yazhong began to think about the future of his landscape painting in the upsurge of returning to tradition and nature, and also thought about the direction of his landscape painting under the situation that ink landscape became the mainstream of Chinese painting. The creative painters in this period almost expanded the expression range of aesthetic objects of landscape painting. The dreamlike images of loess in northwest China, snow fields in northeast China, three mountains and five mountains, water towns in south China, waters in south China, modern cities and even the universe in the sky have become the carriers for people to explore new aesthetic space and establish artistic personality. Although the value of pen and ink has been promoted to a very high position, it is nothing more than an appeal to "keep the bottom line of Chinese painting", despite Huang's "five strokes and seven inks". The landscape world in contemporary China is still a world of ink and wash, and the charm of ink and wash still affects the landscape world.
In fact, Ding Yazhong once had a crush on traditional ink painting, and made in-depth research on the mountains and valleys in the Song Dynasty, the pen and ink in the Yuan Dynasty, and the painting methods of various schools in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, especially the wide-brush rendering of Mi and his son, Gao's ink-splashing Yunshan, and Xia Gui, and even Shi Tao's broken ink landscape. But in practice, I feel that traditional Chinese painting, especially literati painting, can create vivid charm with colorful pen and ink, and create beautiful scenery, but it is colorful. Although many painters have sung "pen and ink should keep pace with the times", they are basically circling on pen and ink, and there is almost no big breakthrough in the style of Chinese painting. In particular, the traditional concept of "emphasizing ink over color" makes Chinese painting lose half of its color in painting style, which cannot be said to be the shortcoming of Chinese painting. He praised Liu Haisu's exploration and creation of China colors in the landscape, introduced the colors expressed in the west into his works, and made heavy colors and thick ink blend with each other to create a unique style. It not only inspired the later art explorer Ding Yazhong, but also provided him with a model for reference.
Therefore, Ding Yazhong's landscape painting inherits the creativity of his predecessors. It is impossible to draw the outline of accumulated ink first, then splash ink, and then splash ink by ink. With the help of Mo Yun's pen sense, the expressive force of color is highlighted, and all peaks and valleys are suddenly seen. In other words, traditional ink painting is still the basic feature, paying attention to using ink to transport ink, and brushwork still plays a leading role, revealing the character of using a pen in dyeing, accumulating and splashing ink. Ding Yazhong decided the overall situation by the infiltration and flow of a large area of ink spilled on rice paper, or broke the light ink with thick ink, or broke the thick ink with light ink, or broke the gradual change of ink painting, showing the chaotic and ethereal image of mountains and rivers fluctuating and clouds steaming back. It is integrated with the illusion of splashing ink, with a sense of fluidity and transparency like air, which enriches the visual effect of ink landscape and pushes people to a new realm.
The unique personality of Ding Ya's Chinese landscape language lies in the integration of western colors and traditional colors into the landscape expression of ink freehand brushwork, the organic combination of splashing ink and brushwork, mutual blending, the color brilliance with color Mo Yun and ink color, creating a new schema with both oriental aesthetic connotation and western aesthetic interest; It not only retains the concrete structure, but also contains a strong abstract meaning. It has not only gorgeous colors, but also vivid brushwork charm, traditional landscape spirit and modern aesthetic implication. This kind of landscape painting, which contains a variety of aesthetic interests, is divorced from the single traditional aesthetic painting system in China, evokes the beautiful scenery of spring mountains and autumn mountains, shows the colorful charm of mountains and rivers, and is active in China painting circles today.
We can summarize the new characteristics of this freehand brushwork landscape from three aspects.
One of its characteristics is its integration. When he combined the sensitivity to color with splashing ink, he changed the coloring method of first hooking and then dyeing or rendering layer by layer, which was not only magnificent, but also had a brilliant and lively hall interest, while color and traditional painting were constantly explored and developed. In terms of layout, with the ups and downs of the structure, the myriad weather of mountains and peaks, clouds rolling and deep valleys and dense forests is vividly displayed. In terms of techniques, the strokes are sharp, clean, green, stained and splashed with ink, which not only writes the image characteristics of natural mountains and rivers, but also has the meaning of deep, moist and clear pen and ink color. The expression is constantly expanding in a brand-new background and level.
The second feature is its pioneering nature, which is reflected in three directions. First, Ding Yazhong's landscape paintings take landscape images as the carrier, integrating emotions, thoughts, concepts, aesthetics and materials, and promoting the extension of images and pen and ink to the infinite space outside the painting. The combination of mountains, rocks, forests and streams in the picture is very innovative, showing a new landscape. Second, with the painter's re-understanding and discovery of the essence of natural landscape spirit, the connotation and extension of his landscape image are constantly expanding, even out of the limitations of objective reality, which makes the use of splash-ink tend to be a new combination and framework of abstraction and concreteness. The abstract form of Ding Ya's landscape painting is rooted in his skillful and beautiful figurative modeling. Through those abstract images, we can still strongly feel the natural beauty characteristics of the scenery written. The combination of abstraction and concreteness, freehand brushwork and realism not only overcomes the rigidity of landscape description, but also avoids the emptiness of abstract landscape. Such as the fantastic and magnificent Huangshan Mountain, the magnificent Emei Mountain, the steep and beautiful Three Gorges, and the simple and beautiful Jiangnan water town, all kinds of artistic conception are hidden and vivid under his ink color, showing the true colors of natural mountains and rivers, and the artistic conception is not deep. Third, the development of theme and the pursuit of implication go hand in hand. Painters no longer paint a few uninhabited conceptual landscapes like the paintings of ancient literati, and rarely paint revolutionary holy places or build new faces like they did in the 1950s and 1960s. Instead, we approach the relationship between life and nature, regard Changlin Chonggang and Ye Wenshan as the living environment of contemporary people, and regard ancient mountains and rivers as the cradle of the survival and development of national culture, thus opening up a new world of landscape connotation and appearance, creating a far-reaching artistic conception that can arouse contemporary viewers' love for the countryside and the motherland and promote civilization and distant thinking.
The third feature is its strong flavor of life and spirit of the times. Shi Tao's two painting quotations, "Pen and ink should keep pace with the times" and "Search for Qifeng paintings", have made many contemporary painters and are Ding Ya's favorite mottos. Ding Yazhong has caught up with the great era of reform and opening up. His footprints are all over China, and the themes of his works are quite extensive. From the beautiful scenery in his hometown of Jiangnan to the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, from the natural disasters in Huashan to the misty scenery in Huangshan, from the scenic spots in Emei to the banks of Jinsha River, they are all written in his paintings. The painter's in-depth experience of natural landscapes far exceeds that of the ancients and predecessors. His subjects are all natural scenery he has experienced, seen and directly contacted, including majestic mountains and rivers in the north and beautiful and moist mountains and rivers in the south, with original local flavor and distinctive regional characteristics. He regards mountains and rivers as a huge space for national survival and emotional projection of high-spirited spirit. His paintings are always full of lofty passion and the development of a great realm. He painted the majestic momentum of rivers, the vastness and massiness of mountain torrents, and he painted rocks, faces and their strange overlapping combinations. This is a vibrant mountain scene, a place where our endless national life is, and a mountain and river that we are moved by. Ding Yazhong's works show a great beauty system of modern landscape painting with the integration of subject and object, the unity of reason and qi, and the unity of Chinese national spirit and the characteristics of the times.
In recent years, Ding Yazhong has made remarkable achievements in the exploration of freehand brushwork landscapes. However, while he was always exploring and experimenting with landscapes, he did not lack the charm of traditional pen and ink language. He consciously increased his pure freehand brushwork of landscapes and laid the foundation for calligraphy, paid attention to the urgency of tempering "flatness, roundness, staying, weight and change", and emphasized "writing" and "meaning" in the relationship between black and white. He is good at using water to cause rich ink color changes and achieve the effect of moistening and vivid color, which is especially commendable. He clearly realized that if Chinese painting leaves the basic language of pen and ink to talk about innovation and creation, it is nonsense without water and wood. No matter how gorgeous and dazzling the western color is, if it is not integrated with pen and ink and injected into the picture, it will be difficult to become a Chinese painting, and the color will lose its meaning. In his freehand brushwork landscape paintings, only by fully retaining the creative achievements of literati ink and painting and creating color methods on the basis of paying attention to brushwork and ink method can our exploration direction of "brushwork, ink interest and colorful" be fruitful.
From this perspective, excellent artists will consciously or unconsciously observe the source of national culture and find and protect the "roots" on which they live. Otherwise, they will not be able to cross the historical time and space with unique perseverance and tolerance to pursue, rebuild and express the mountains and rivers precipitated by poetic years. There is no doubt that Ding Yazhong's landscape painting has his own style, but he is not an easy person to satisfy. He is still looking for new breakthroughs and hopes to make greater achievements in China's paintings. I hope that in the new mileage, he will push the shining and brilliant freehand brushwork landscape to a higher level with more shocking or fascinating masterpieces.
"The mountains and rivers are vast and magnificent."
Ding Yazhong showed his talent for painting in middle school and was led into the painting art hall by an art teacher. The works of my school days have won many prizes in school, county and city competitions. After graduating from high school, I studied art major in art colleges, and comprehensively and systematically studied related theories and knowledge such as sketch, sketch, oil painting and Chinese painting. After graduation, I have been engaged in the creation and research of Chinese painting, and I have been the most diligent in landscape painting and flower-and-bird painting, with remarkable achievements.
There are mainly splash-ink and splash-color landscape paintings, including both ink painting exercises from sketches and elaborate long scrolls. In the way of expression, he is mainly splashing ink and color, blending ink and color, harmony between cold and warm, and magnificent. On the screen of a 20-meter scroll, he boldly splashed water and cleaned it carefully. From a big perspective, thousands of rocks and valleys, rivers converge, and thousands of meteorology are integrated. From a small point of view, from the characters on the boat to the moss spots on the mountain, pavilions and cottages, we are meticulous and see pens everywhere. Composition, pen and ink, color and nature can be described as ingenious. I once asked Ding Yazhong how to choose the painting method of splashing ink all the way. Who did you learn from? Yazhong said: "Splashing ink is quite popular in the world and among collectors. The diversified material world is rich and colorful, and the works created by artists should also be rich and colorful, so as to meet the requirement that calligraphy and painting should keep pace with the times. Ink painting is the main raw material used in Chinese painting, and the change of color and light color is the main manifestation of western painting. Splashing ink and color is the expression of the interaction between China and the West, which conforms to the trend of contemporary art development. When it comes to learning from teachers, Yazhong said that he mainly benefited from two modern painting masters, Zhang Daqian and Liu Haisu. For the works of these masters, he often takes pains to copy and follow his hand, practicing for three or nine years in winter and three days in summer. "Foreign teachers learn from nature, and we can learn from our hearts." To learn from the past and learn from the present, you need to go to Wan Li Road to study thousands of books, so that you can feel the magnificent weather of great rivers. "Looking for a strange peak to draft", Yazhong often travels all over the country, famous mountains and rivers, sketching experiences, cultivating the mind, and storing mountains and rivers in his chest.
Asia and China are well aware of the theory that calligraphy and painting are of the same origin, so they go hand in hand in calligraphy learning. He used to learn calligraphy from famous calligraphers in order to improve the quality of drawing lines, know how to excel in all aspects and pursue the harmony and unity of paintings. Yazhong also loves photography, pays attention to the study of other sister arts, and pays attention to the improvement of extracurricular kung fu.
Bao Jianfeng has been honed, Mei Fu is bitter and cold, and Heaven rewards diligence. Yazhong's splash-ink landscape series and flower-and-bird series paintings have been fully affirmed by experts, experts, collectors and celebrities, and have also won awards frequently in exhibitions held by the art world. According to incomplete statistics, he has won dozens of awards at all levels since 1999. At present, collectors of Asian and Chinese paintings are all over Beijing, Shandong, Guangdong, Hongkong, Taiwan Province, Malaysia, Europe and America. The large-scale paintings in Yazhong are distributed in public places such as national, provincial and ministerial organs, hotels, conference rooms of large enterprises, boss's offices, etc., and are well received by people. Mr. Ding Yazhong, who came out of Jiangnan, is now a world-renowned artist.
"The road is long, Xiu Yuan, Xiu Yuan, and I will go up and down." . We expect Yazhong to create more beautiful paintings in the future, dedicate them to the society and pass them on!
Understand the spirit of mountains and rivers and describe natural beauty.
Ding Yazhong and I have known each other for decades and often enjoy the works together. It can be seen from his works that he has made great achievements on the basis of inheriting and carrying forward traditional painting. His brilliant brushwork mainly uses the spirituality and vitality of true mountains and waters to express my artistic conception, and combines his deep and heavy brushwork with profound learning theory to create fresh and magnificent landscape paintings.
The landscape paintings in Yazhong are mainly based on the great rivers and mountains of the motherland. In terms of techniques, he absorbed the techniques of famous artists such as Zhang Daqian, Liu Haisu, Song Wenzhi, Li Xiongcai, Bai Xueshi and Fu Baoshi. And absorbed the artistic essence of different styles of predecessors. He is unique, unique in nature.
Judging from every work carefully created by Yazhong, the flowers and trees in the painting are lifelike, the mountains are majestic, the prospect is hazy and full of vitality, and the smoke in the kitchen is curling, making the viewer feel at home.
From Ding Yazhong's works, we can see that his pen is vigorous and changeable, with bold and unrestrained pen and ink, rich colors and shocking momentum. He often uses a pen quickly with too much or no water, and the pen and ink meet to form a far and shallow rendering, which is layered. In the painting, you can see that the ink is bright and has a magnificent and mellow unique effect. Whether it is painted in ink or in color, there is a fresh and hazy atmosphere and a wild atmosphere. I feel a kind of wanton momentum, but my eyes are full of profundity and tranquility. Between motion and static, it is full of sounds of nature, mysterious, elegant and magnificent. This artistic realm not only goes beyond the level of writing environment, but also enters the consciousness of creating environment. In his paintings, there is a special artistic space where nature and soul coexist to express my only feelings. In his works, there are not only the boldness of Badashan people, the wildness of Shi Tao, but also the lush and moist with Zhang Daqian, the thick yellow, the chic of Fu Baoshi and the domineering of Pan Tianshou, all of which meet in the dense and well-written situation of Ding Ya. In his paintings, indomitable spirit and endless vitality are brewing. Since he taught himself painting, he has been knowledgeable and diligent in exploration. He can inherit the tradition without being bound by traditional techniques and constantly innovate in the ever-changing tradition. The painting style in Asia and China has a traditional flavor, but it is not bound by tradition. It is widely used by many families and draws on the strengths of others.
Those who can achieve great things in the world must have an open mind and an inclusive mind. Although Asia-China has made great achievements, it is necessary to maintain a steady pace, constantly innovate and change, and more importantly, to constantly feel the places that have not been to, waiting for you to continue to cultivate. There are many famous mountains and rivers, and the ends of the earth are endless. I hope you can read psychic, constantly capture wonderful feelings, talk with heaven and earth with magical pen and ink, and create unique and novel updated works.
