General situation of pen and ink art
Zhao Chen's pen and ink language inherited the essence of ancient pen and ink and found his own method. His flower-and-bird paintings were as far away as Xu Xi in the Five Dynasties, and he especially studied painting in the Song Dynasty. The language of pen and ink was influenced by the techniques of Lin Liang, Lv Ji and Qingteng Baiyang in Ming Dynasty, especially absorbed the essence of pen and ink of the masters in Ming and Qing Dynasties.
Zhao Chen has made a deep study of Lin Liang, Ivy, Badashanren, Yangzhou Eight Eccentrics, Wu Changshuo, Qi Baishi and modern Pan Tianshou, and gradually formed his own painting style by combining the pen and ink languages of various schools. His pen and ink are concise and bold, vigorous and powerful, with innovative layout and great momentum, and the overall changes are incisive. Every grass, tree, flower and bird in his works are there.
Zhao Chen's paintings are inspired by nature, and there are many flowers in flowers and trees, which can be passed on to the pen and ink. The trees, grass and vines in his paintings are all ancient methods. His works are full of vigor and vitality, which makes him more attractive.
Painting review of works
Harnessing Passion with Reason —— On Zhao Chen's Flower and Bird Painting Creation
Author: Yu Guanghua
Copying-sketching-creation is the basic process of learning flower-and-bird painting, which can also be regarded as three stages. In these three stages, the focus of learning is different, but the constant core purpose is to understand and master painting theory. Summarizing the painting theory, inheriting the painting method from the ancient model, observing and confirming in the process of sketching, then combining with your own understanding, making choices and creating, and finally forming your own language and creating your own works, is the most effective way summarized through continuous practice. Without the meditation on ancient models, the observation and study of objects and images will violate reason and law. Based on this concept, flower-and-bird painting teaching focuses on strengthening the training of painting theory from the stages of copying and sketching.
Zhao Chen's flower-and-bird paintings have well followed the law of study, and he has gained his own understanding and gains through his long-term study of pen and ink, painting theory and personal style. Show more comprehensive technical literacy and personal painting characteristics.
In his paintings, the understanding of pen and ink shows the professional foundation accumulated by years of formal study. Through a lot of copying, I am not only familiar with the "pen-and-ink structure" of my predecessors, but also realize the creative law of "pen-and-ink structure". On the basis of visiting everyone in Ming and Qing Dynasties, Zhao Chen has long studied the brush and ink characteristics and composition rules of Badashan people. Therefore, it is very valuable to be able to write boldly, take photos at will, pay attention to composition, know the white and keep the black, and not be unconventional, which not only meets the basic requirements of painting theory, but also reflects his own unique understanding.
Of course, painting will eventually impress people with emotion, and the integration of emotion is the spiritual connotation of passion, personality and cultivation. In Zhao Chen's sketch and creation, there is no lack of emotional input. Through rational thinking, it is reasonably transformed into the image of the picture. To be sure, he is also a diligent learner. He can bear hardships and stand hard work, often sketching outside by himself, and his enthusiasm for learning and persistence in his goals are extraordinary. Many of his works are sketched, full of emotion and reason, so they can be vivid and touching.
Zhao Chen's creation has made gratifying progress in the choice of theme, the use of pen and ink, and the management of realm, and achieved the creative intention of excellent pen and ink, novel conception and complete picture. His recognition and understanding of the spirit of freehand brushwork shows a high talent, so it also indicates a long-term potential. With the deepening of his understanding of painting and his familiarity with painting methods, I believe he will paint better and have a bright future.
Comment on Zhao Chen and his flower-and-bird paintings
Author: Zhu Release Time: 2013-01-0917: 08: 20.
Studying for the Master of Arts has introduced me to many young and talented students. Because both of them are studying under my husband's door, this "classmate" has real meaning. Therefore, when we get along, we can't help but forget Confucius' warning. Although we are 40 years old, we have almost no sense of shame. In this sense, these young students can be called my friends. Needless to say, Zhao Chen is one of the people I know better.
Zhao Chen's love for art, keen sense and persistent pursuit are the same among young painters, which is awesome. This is especially rare in the current context.
In the current Chinese painting environment, the interest chain instigated by the exhibition is so strong that few people do not set foot in the network. Therefore, it is not easy to choose flower-and-bird painting as a professional direction in the Academy of Fine Arts, and it is even more difficult to give priority to freehand brushwork in flower-and-bird painting. It goes without saying. Because freehand brushwork of flowers and birds is really difficult to accomplish overnight, it often takes a lifetime of cultivation, which is really a short board for contemporary vocational college education. But it also tests the true artistic pursuers, whose insight and tenacity will be the real potential of freehand brushwork flowers and birds.
As far as I know, Zhao Chen's super-knowledge is more from the level of talent, which is the basis of artistic generation. He is sincere and stubborn, so he prefers a strange realm in art. If this nature is well protected in the learning stage, it will be of great help to the cultivation of artistic style. In fact, during his long-term study, with the improvement of his vision, he was able to focus his vision on Badashanren, Wu Changshuo, Pu Hua and other Ming and Qing personality masters, which was enough to show his broad mind and extraordinary knowledge. The Eighth National Congress of the Communist Party of China and Wu Changshuo are the main models of freehand brushwork of flowers and birds in art colleges. Therefore, imitating their style may not explain the level of knowledge, but it can go deep into their artistic conception and pen and ink details, and then combine their own temperament to sketch and create, which shows their wisdom in learning and profound understanding. The understanding of Pu Hua may show his outstanding talent and generous personality more intuitively. Because Pu Hua is not a model of learning in colleges and universities, it is probably because his works are flawed and lack a complete theoretical height. And Pu Hua's free and easy, and fantasy, it explains the vivid freehand brushwork and the true purity of his character. Although he took cloth as his profession all his life, he was admired by later generations. Zhao Chen can recognize the height of Puhua art and consciously absorb its essence, which is inseparable from his unique vision and determination.
Obviously, among the above methods, Zhao Chen yearns for the strangeness and strangeness of the three paintings. According to Pan Tianshou, if you want to go to a strange place, you must have "strange gifts and strange hugs". Zhao Chen's worship of strangeness should also have its own source.
In the study of Chinese painting, I always think that the cognition of pen and ink character is the only way to enter the freehand brushwork art, otherwise, even if you paint the head and carve the tail, you will always wander outside the door. Look at the famous celebrities and celebrities in various markets at present. There are not a few people who have not entered this road. Therefore, when I saw Zhao Chen's works, I couldn't help staring at them, because they could go straight into a calm, refined, simple and brilliant realm in the practice of pen and ink, which was far beyond the understanding of most practitioners in his time.
Zhao Chen has a high demand for the character of pen and ink, and his material of pen and ink naturally never drops slightly. It can be said that paper is not tired of fine, ink is not tired of fine, almost gluttonous. He always grinds ink on every painting, and he never gives up even when sketching in the wild. I really admire him for his calm and expert kung fu.
In addition to his understanding of pen and ink, another outstanding feature of Zhao Chen is his ability to control the structure of the picture. This can also be understood as the perception and grasp of the form of the picture. This may be an advantage for young students with quick thinking. The good environment of the Academy of Fine Arts and various fast media channels have strengthened their sensitivity and ability to capture forms. But what I want to say is that behind the ability to be sensitive to different configurations is the choice between formal temperament and unique cultural significance. Because not all people who are sensitive to form can see the vitality contained in "form" and the profound cultural taste accumulated in history. What looks like a form actually comes not only from vision, but also from the mind, from the observation of the vitality of objects and the understanding of cultural traditions.
This is clearly reflected in Zhao Chen's sketching process. Sketching is an extremely important link in the study of flowers and birds. For most painters who have received class training, it is not a difficult problem to create pictograms freely according to physical objects. However, different understandings or emphases can easily lead to two extremes in sketch: either copying blindly or copying mechanically; Either ignore the pictographic nature of things and take it for nothing. Its fatal point is that it ignores the observation of the interest of things and the self-induction of the vitality of foreign things. Both are lost because of superficiality. How to make a choice between sketching and writing, and complete a work that not only reflects the business of objects but also conforms to the painting norms, is a test of the painter's structural control ability.
Zhao Chen's sketch deals well with the relationship between them. When he deeply observes the image, he can mobilize the traditional image resources stored in his chest, search for the relationship between them with a keen mind, write the image vitality that conforms to the painting theory, and take into account the cultural connotation of traditional pen and ink symbols. For example, he made many sketches in Banna Tropical Botanical Garden. He can feel the unique vitality of the object at first sight, and can see his personal ingenuity in the refining of pen and ink and the selection of pictures. Of course, he can also vaguely see Bajie and Shen Feng in Pu Hua. This is indeed a wise move to learn and change.
For the grasp of pen and ink character and picture structure, the understanding of talent is important, but the practice of the day after tomorrow is more lasting and credible. It is at this point that Zhao Chen has the quality of surpassing homotopy. It can even be said that his life is also for painting. He will pay attention to various details related to painting in the ordinary order of life. For example, he will pay attention to the process of flowering on campus and collect the fruits of various plants when he goes out. In a small market, he will also pay attention to the differences between flowers, birds, insects and fish. He will even pay attention to the texture of a stick or a hard stone at any time, which is enough to show a person's inner interest in the surrounding things and his obsession with artistic perception. So that in his desk, you can see the meaningful and ordinary things in nature everywhere. This is indeed a rare habit and natural quality of an artist.
Freehand brushwork always expresses a certain meaning, which not only includes the object itself, but also involves the painter's feelings, which not only comes from the preference for the object, but also has a deeper cultural significance, so it is also a kind of cultivation in a certain sense, that is, the temperament developed in long-term practice. However, we can see that the contemporary freehand brushwork painting is just an emotional catharsis, such as wild, spontaneous, such as Gu Zhuo, which is limited to the appearance, difficult to hide its meaning, and rarely shows its true nature. Therefore, true temperament must be supported by true character, which is cultivated in daily life.
Zhao Chen's understanding and cultivation of freehand brushwork flowers and birds, and his sensitive understanding and choice of schema and structure all indicate that he has taken a broad road. On this avenue, he enjoys the pleasure brought by practice, and sometimes even enjoys it all alone-he has sketched many times in the time of foreign minister, his persistence and perseverance, his confidence and certainty are beyond the reach of ordinary people. Therefore, in his paintings, the solidity of pen and ink, the strangeness of style, and the freedom and detachment of meaning all have their origins, all of which stem from an inner self-confidence and strength, which makes his works have style characteristics and become one of the connotations worthy of taste.
Of course, as a young seeker, there are still many things to be supplemented in the long learning process. Excellent quality can only support the height of choice, but it cannot surpass the process of obtaining certificates. For Chen Zhao, there are many problems in the future, such as the deepening of culture, the expansion of performance skills and the further cultivation of temperament. With his tenacity and concentration, his harvest will be different from ordinary people. Based on this, I will be successful in the future, and I am convinced of the real prosperity of freehand brushwork flowers and birds.
