Aesthetic and connotation of Wei Fengda's freehand flower-and-bird paintings
torrential rain
Among the hundred gardens of traditional painting art in China, freehand flower-and-bird painting has become a unique flower with its novel conception, exquisite brushwork, vivid charm and dazzling artistic charm, which shows the spirit and cultural characteristics of the Chinese nation. On the artistic road of exploring freehand brushwork flower-and-bird painting, painter Feng Wei thinks wisely, trudges hard, practices vertically and horizontally, and dares to innovate. In nearly half a century's artistic practice, he deeply studied the "freehand brushwork school" formed by China's painting for hundreds of years, and established his own aesthetic orientation and artistic choice. His works have reached a new level in ideological connotation and painting techniques, and created a rough and bold painting style.
"Painting as a person", the formation of a painting style, is the comprehensive embodiment of the painter's own temperament, personality, knowledge and cultivation, and the style of works can best express the painter's inner humanistic feelings and aesthetic interests. Looking at Mr. Feng Wei's exploration of freehand brushwork in the field of flower-and-bird painting, he dares to be unconventional and innovative, which is inseparable from his origin, experience, education, courage, the influence of regional culture and the cultural value he pursues in art. Mr. Feng Wei, born in Anyang, Henan Province, has the unique generous and simple feelings of the people of the Central Plains. His long-term artistic career shows the characteristics of imposing manner, frankness and lyricism in his works. Mr. Feng Wei was engaged in oil painting in his early years, and was deeply influenced by Russian roving school and French impressionism, so that his freehand flower-and-bird paintings left traces everywhere. Strong artistic skill, accurate image modeling, scientific painting composition and profound allusions to western painting themes are also the basic requirements of Mr. Feng Wei for his artistic level. He applied this concept to freehand brushwork, making it pay attention to the expression of "similarity" in "similarity and dissimilarity", emphasizing the structure of modeling in freehand brushwork, rendering ink and wash with strong strokes of oil painting, and using strong contrast colors.
Mr. Feng Wei loves poetry and music, and is obsessed with the quintessence of Peking Opera, so he can be called an opera fan. Singing, reading, doing and acting in drama are very consistent with the basic spirit of freehand brushwork humanistic quality. Because art is interlinked, Mr. Feng Wei often reveals the connotation of drama art in his painting creation. In his works, poultry, wild birds, flowers, fruits and bamboo all appear in the form of "appearance". Rooster, kingfisher, crane and goshawk are all like the style of the protagonist in the play, full of lofty sentiments and high spirits. This exaggeration of verve injects artistic vitality into the works and makes the artistic effect more vivid.
"Calligraphy and painting are of the same origin" is the characteristic of freehand brushwork. Most of the painters in China are masters of calligraphy, which is also the necessity of the artistic accomplishment of China painters. Wu Changshuo's works are simple and vigorous, while Feng Wei's works are vigorous and powerful. Oracle Bone Inscriptions is an important cultural relic of Shang Dynasty unearthed from Yin Ruins in Anyang, Henan Province, and the originator of Chinese characters. Mr. Guo Moruo once lamented that "a piece of Oracle bones shocked the world". Because Oracle Bone Inscriptions was unearthed late, only 100 years ago, oracle calligraphy art is still a new thing in the history of China calligraphy. As a native of Anyang, Mr. Feng Wei has a strong interest in this prehistoric civilization. He emphatically analyzed the development and evolution of Chinese characters in Oracle Bone Inscriptions, and deeply studied the changes of Oracle Bone Inscriptions in the Five Dynasties. However, as a painter, Mr. Feng Wei's understanding of Oracle Bone Inscriptions did not stop at the form, sound and meaning of philology, but injected "art" into ancient Chinese characters 3,000 years ago from the perspective of art archaeology. His achievements in oracle calligraphy are well-known at home and abroad, and he has become a contemporary leader. It is precisely because of Mr. Feng Wei's preference for this calligraphy style that the performance of this kind of knife and brush is looming in his freehand brushwork. Many brushstrokes have a tough and sharp feeling, and the lines are vigorous and spicy. Due to the intervention of Oracle Bone Inscriptions's brush in the picture, the bold aesthetic feeling of the work is enhanced, and the artistic impact of the work is enhanced.
"Pen and ink should keep pace with the times", respecting China's traditional ideological civilization and loving excellent Chinese and foreign cultures, gradually formed Mr. Feng Wei's artistic creation thought with rich connotations and romantic feelings. Works are often inspired by feelings, with elegant conception, beautiful form, humorous implication and profound concept. They skillfully combine traditional excellent cultural elements with modern civilization consciousness, so that the expressive force and artistic realm of their works have been sublimated at a high level. His representative works include Harmony, Harmony, Spring Breeze, Warmth, Vision and so on. Express your love for life and kindness to others. This neo-Confucianism makes the painter's social tendency and world outlook endless, which is a positive inheritance of the excellent culture of our Chinese nation for thousands of years and a fusion of the great concept of "harmonious society". Mr. Feng Wei's artistic creation conforms to the value orientation of mainstream ideology in modern China society, and is more in line with the artistic thinking and appreciation habits of ordinary people. Adhering to the direction of artistic development and expressing the aesthetic feeling of the times are the essence of painter Feng Wei's sense of responsibility for contemporary painting and creative thinking.
Mr. Feng Wei's freehand brushwork has been widely concerned and praised by the society, and won an award in the national art exhibition, which was collected by the Great Hall of the People, exhibited in national venues, auctioned in the art market and favored by collectors. In the face of these honors, he is still calmly examining his artistic shortcomings and defects, constantly enriching his artistic language, and I believe he will create more excellent freehand brushwork of flowers and birds with artistic value and the spirit of the times.
