I have been paying attention to his face for almost a year. First, single line, black and white, out of hundreds, then color, and then ink. Each series of feelings is different, but there are surprises. You can ruin your face like this, but it's also very interesting.
The appearance of ears, eyes and skulls, as well as the hints of nose and mouth, all suggest the existence of people. However, the clean thread is so cold, like an animator's electronic handwriting, as cold as a Japanese painting, as hard as a jigsaw puzzle, as a mechanic's blade.
The stacking, interpenetration and rolling of fragments are not tangled, lingering and chaotic, and it is an out-and-out mosaic of dislocated bones and skins. Dancing in a self-sufficient plane space becomes a static rest. During solidification, the temperature and emotion of the air are excluded from the plane, three dimensions are compressed in the plane, the plane is torn out of volume, the volume is chopped into sound and rhythm by lines, and a human head is twisted into geometry and rhythm.
The pulse of the line is truncated and closed, the surface is online, and the point is online. The common abstract schema is subverted, and there is no bold and unrestrained brushwork texture. Only calculation and design. The viewer fell into the maze of the line he calculated, from chin to head, from ear to eye, searching for his memory in vain. Familiar things are so strange, only an empty shelf holds up something called the brain, and people's thinking is ethereal in it, looking for a thinking track called Shi Feng.
But as soon as this thing is colored, this feeling disappears, resulting in another kind of strangeness, which is not quiet, but gorgeous to gaudy, and high colors without strong colors block the blank of the soul. The white place used to be the space you and I imagined, but now it is piled with fashionable brilliance, and the abstract brain road map has become pop.
This computer coloring is the artistic imprint of the machine age. Industry is business, technology is technology, and the head that has been pulled away from the soul has been pulled back-the creator's aura, that is, the taste of color by hand, has been completely abandoned, and the traditional skills have been subverted again, pulling painting from craftsmanship into machine making and printing, thus becoming a vivid symbol.
I'm asking, Shi Feng, why don't you paint by hand and let everything return to nature? But I didn't ask him. He seemed to understand the advantages and disadvantages, so he tried to approve the ink painting, re-endow the avatar with charm and agility, and let the vision return to fun from coldness and craftsmanship and an ancient aesthetic interest. But the taste is still very strange, because the cooking method has not changed, but the dishes have changed and become abstract.
The three series have their own advantages and disadvantages. Is the Battle of Shifeng a battle between Lian Heng and Wu against Cao, or are the three clans going back to Jin? He is still thinking, and I will wait and see.

Appreciation of Shi Feng's Calligraphy Works—
Shi Feng, independent artist, freelance writer and senior designer. International online cultural interviewer, cover figure of Time Man, winner of New Silk Road Cultural Promotion Award. /kloc-0 was born in Shaanxi in 1967 and now lives in xi' an; I studied painting since I was a child, and my works were published in magazines and newspapers when I was young.
Has been engaged in multimedia and Internet-related design work, widely involved in art cross-border and art categories. Now engaged in contemporary artistic creation and theoretical research. Adhering to the artistic style and painting concept of combining magical deconstruction with geometricism, we reveal the essence of human nature in an artistic way and angle, dispel the appearance of things, deconstruct real life, and be an art with soul and belief.
Excerpts from Shi Feng's painting language—
The artistic expression of Shi Feng's painting language and the individualization, uniqueness and liberalization of language are deeply rooted in the essence of human nature, realistic situation, ideological thickness and story philosophy. The core lies in values, problem revelation, consciousness deconstruction and direct access to the original image; Simplicity is from the outside to the inside, visual creativity and soul shock.
Shi Feng's painting language thought is complicated and trivial, but his way of thinking is extremely simple and clear. In short, thought is synonymous with values. Since there are values, there must be value judgments and standards of right and wrong. If so, black is black, white is white, and black and white cannot be reversed, confusing the basic Tao-the original composition mechanism of things. Otherwise, man's natural desire transcends and desecrates Taoism, runs counter to Taoism, and will eventually be warned and punished by Taoism. And the value concept and value judgment of thought are also reflected here. Otherwise, what is the function and existence of thought? What is the value and significance to advanced intelligent life? !
As an essential element of human thinking ability, the sensibility and rationality of Shi Feng's painting language are directly related to people's aesthetic consciousness or value experience, and rationality is directly related to people's value pursuit and creative vitality.
All the exploration and discovery of Shi Feng's painting language lies not only in the specific research or invention of something itself, but also in the renewal and optimization of various industries, so that people can constantly gain the power of ideological emancipation, freedom and civilization.
To define Shi Feng's paintings, we must understand their essential attributes through appearances. Otherwise, any definition will be covered by the definition itself. And definition is like a fence, and the concrete thing is much more complicated than definition. Its uncertainty is not influenced and controlled by cognition and behavior caused by human definition, and its operation and deduction naturally have their own rules and laws.
The dimension of Shi Feng's painting language, as the original existence mode and unit of things, is always deduced, and it has not stopped or stopped because of human mind or cognition. The dimension itself will also run according to its logic and category. For the high-energy wisdom in life, if we can constantly improve a cognitive dimension and observation fulcrum, we can understand the truth and face of things more deeply or perfectly.
Shi Feng's painting language is arbitrary and temperate, with a moderate balance between rationality and sensibility. An ideal abstract work is completed by solving personalized aesthetic elements such as composition, rhythm, melody and color.
The surrealism of Shi Feng's painting language breaks the forms and patterns of the objective world and endows art with more free creativity. Secondly, this style of picture elements still presents concrete images in real life, giving people clear thinking clues and thinking that is easy to understand or produce barter or homogeneous association, unlike pure abstract art, which challenges and exercises people's imagination.
Shi Feng's painting language art depicts objects, life, transcends reality, looks forward to the future, and establishes artistic life and life art. As the carrier and expression of colorful culture, art is also an important way and value to stimulate thinking and create conceptual order. If the trend of art is the same, from the initial simple recording and imitation, art has gradually formed a multi-dimensional development deduction, laying its own context, ethics and foundation for the renewal of artistic concepts and the ever-changing forms of expression.
As one of the creative thinking modes of human beings, the artistic creativity of Shi Feng's painting language runs through any field and development direction that human beings can touch with the concept of art, such as the art of management, the art of education, the art of investment and other social functions and structural elements. The optimization of artistic thinking and the independent characteristics and path methods of enlightenment to conventional thinking are the most forward-looking thinking exploration and formal embodiment of human "mind map" and evolution trend. Therefore, how to cultivate children's creative thinking is the basis for us to stimulate children's imagination and creativity, and it is also our unshirkable mission and great event as parents in the future!
The creative teaching of painting language in Poetic Style is similar to comprehensive education, and all roads lead to the same goal. Inspire another idea or work through creativity or specific works, inspire and cultivate people's awareness and ability to draw inferences from others!
The evolution of Shi Feng's painting language technology and tools has brought a variety of colorful artistic languages and expressions, which not only enriched the artistic creators' conceptual needs and diversified choices, but also provided readers and audiences with new visual experiences and psychological feelings. At the same time, it broke or activated the conventional and traditional creative modes and concepts, laid a theoretical and practical foundation for the opening of artistic creation methodology, and provided new opportunities and expectations for artistic creation and independent personality.
The artistic creation of Shi Feng's painting language under the contemporary technical conditions provides unlimited possibilities for the language expression of visual art. Whether it is the application of performance characteristics endowed by various materials or the combination and composition of various visual elements under digitalization, its efficiency and effect are forward-looking and unpredictable, which provides the basis and conditions for the continuous reproduction of artistic creativity.
The so-called "creative calligraphy" in Shi Feng's painting language is to create according to the original meaning of words, or to expand other meanings, but also to have certain logic and relevance, so as to make the expression of calligraphy more expressive or interesting. Secondly, specific to the structural characteristics of glyphs, according to the overall creativity and conception, we should also break through the control of the original glyph structure on people's thinking and make the layout and design of glyphs more personalized or creative.
The composition principle of the word art in Shi Feng's painting language can not only show that they are both external and internal, but also properly explain the basic structure of "art" before "art", aiming at emphasizing the logical order of art and the fundamental meaning contained in "art".
Shi Feng's paintings are full of life, words and consciousness, which complement people's cognitive level and inner concern. At the same time, they also formed a clear clue and vein from mental state to soul recovery. It is true that, as the highest aesthetic and value orientation of solemn writing, writing is beautiful and brilliant. Only when it forms the same frequency vibration with knowing and doing, can it form the integrity and unity of people in thought, morality and behavior, and can it really explore truth and improve life.
Shi Feng's knowledge of painting language constitutes the material for thinking. As the embodiment of knowledge value, there is nothing wrong with it. As for knowledge as the driving force, it depends on whether knowledge can be transformed into creative energy, and at the same time, this energy should be integrated with value aesthetics and conceptual order, so as to serve as the basis and purpose of creation and truly benefit itself and society, rather than forming the inversion and destruction of desire.
The formation of people's thinking power is naturally a quiet process, which comes from the way of education and enlightenment they received in their youth, and whether they have developed the habit and intensity of diligent thinking and insight into things during their growth.
On the contrary, if the foundation of thinking structure is not established, a single solidified thinking mode will hurt people's life invisibly. Such a situation, as Mr. Nietzsche alarmist-some people may live to be a hundred years old and go to the grave, but they may be born dead.
As one of the forms of human thinking, Shi Feng's pictographic/associative thinking is characterized by its mind map that any form of element composition, image creativity and modeling design are transmitted through human heart and brain reactions, and will produce its own image sequence according to personal observation methods, aesthetic trends and experience accumulation. It is true that this phenomenon display and the order of logical thinking have formed the * * * vibration effect, but it is still a preconceived associative thinking, which creates the order conditions for logical thinking.
The natural attributes of human beings as a whole or the expansion of human brain's spatial thinking have brought this potential to the extreme. That is to say, when people are faced with the fantastic artistic world such as real life or virtual reality presented by works of art, or are exposed to the amazing great works of outdoor creation-nature, all organs of the human body will show magical functions with their respective responsibilities, missions and tentacles, and all associative thinking will be opened and expanded accordingly, so that people's emotions, minds and hearts will be completely calm, passionate and confused.
And corresponding to and looking for their own aesthetic elements, target objects and tips related issues, so as to further develop and expand people's associative thinking ability and potential, and provide all possibilities for enlightening people and inspiring generation.
What Shi Feng painted is that truth is a cat and lies are mice.
As the carrier of culture, the fundamental function and core value of Shi Feng's painting language art lies in inspiring people to establish the consciousness and methodology of creative thinking, and ultimately providing inspiration and basis for people's value pursuit, aesthetic system, conceptual order, imagination and creativity.
