"Dialogue" 220cmx180cm won the "Nomination Award" of the 13th National Art Exhibition
The work is a trace of my life
Text/Juanjuan Sun
I don't know when my life began to be measured in terms of the creation time of each work. From a few days of the month to a few days of the month, the time is planned and plunged into it, and I devote myself to the creation. Creativity, small drafts, large drafts, main drafts, inking, coloring, adjustments are completed, through pain and suffering, until the transformation of the work is completed, just like seeing your carefully cultivated daughter married, rejoicing.
One of the parts of Dialogue
Stepping out of the studio, I suddenly found that nature had forgotten me for a while, and it had gone from winter to summer to summer to autumn... Where has the time gone? At this time, I realized Confucius's sigh of "the son is in the river, the deceased is like a sifu", and while lamenting the passage of time, he also realized that time is my life, and the work is the trace of my life. Therefore, I also devote myself to each work as if I were concerned about life, always happily cleaning up the studio and preparing for the next work.
Part II of Dialogue
I have always hoped that I can be a painter with a sense of temperature and a sense of responsibility for the times, so I have been paying attention to finding creative inspiration from life for many years. The work "Dialogue" was included in the 13th National Art Exhibition as an award-winning nomination, which selected the scene of people of different countries and different races in the modern museum competing to see a Shang Dynasty bronze that represents the source of Chinese culture.
Part THREE of Dialogue
This stems from a sense of crossing that I always have when I go to the museum: when the Ding, which condenses the wisdom of China, becomes the focus of the world, it becomes the center of cultural exchange. This is not only a dialogue between people and things, a dialogue between modern times and history, but also an unbounded exchange between the East and the West. At that moment, China, the world's attention!
"Unrepentant Youth Aid" 168cmx199cm silk pastel
Teacher Xue Yongnian affirmed this ingenious idea from life at the National Art Exhibition Seminar, saying: "Some excellent works, small in the big, very clever in the conception, both the vividness of life and the profoundness of the intention. "Dialogue" cuts from the small perspective of children and foreign friends looking at the bronzes in the museum, combining cultural self-confidence with the profound intention of mutual learning among civilizations. ”
"Dancing Youth, Persistence", 170cmx190cm, pastel on silk
Good intentions require beautiful forms, and I have been trying to paint methods that suit me. I am a person with a severe sense of vertigo, and this feeling will make me perceive things from a different perspective than others, and I want to express this feeling in my work.
"Dancing Youth Guardian", 176cmx126cm, pastel on silk
In the creation of the "Dancing Youth" series before "Dialogue", after years of exploration, I gradually explored a method suitable for my emotional expression, which I temporarily called "through-layer painting". Modern painting on the shelf is a three-dimensional illusion space expressed in a two-dimensional plane, and the dizzy shaking and delay always make me feel the fourth dimension of space - time.
"Unrepentant Youth Rainbow" 220cmx120cm silk pastel
Therefore, I juxtapose the dynamics of the "characters" by multi-frame, using the visual images of the addition and subtraction of shapes and forms, so that the trajectory of the movement is displayed rhythmically, and the trance transparent shape can be peeled off, which makes me feel very interesting. I want to create a kind of visual beauty in the realist works of painting, in the visual rhythm of the picture, to obtain the feeling of fresh breeze and water mist, which is the dance of shapes and colors, the visual reproduction of different time and space.
This kind of exploration experiment has received basic recognition, such as: "Dancing Youth - Guardians" showing airport security inspectors won the "Chinese Spirit" 2016 Hundred Jinling Painting Exhibition Collection Works (Gold Award); "Unrepentant Youth - Aid", which expressed medical rescue, was included in the exhibition "Celebrating the 90th Anniversary of the Founding of the Chinese People's Liberation Army National Art Exhibition and the 13th All-Army Art Exhibition", which was collected by the National Art Museum of China; "Youth Without Regret - Rainbow", which showed the heroic posture of divers, was selected for the "Ninth China Sports Art Works Exhibition"; "Dancing Youth - Can" showing female traffic police It was selected into the "Sixth National Youth Art Exhibition". These "endorsements" consciously or unconsciously contributed to the Dialogue and to the formation of my personality language.
The work "Dialogue" can win the nomination for the work award and be exhibited in Beijing, which is an encouragement and encouragement for my intention and technical exploration, and Teacher Liu Xilin has repeatedly introduced this work to readers from the aesthetic point of view of painting theory, introduced students, and included in the illustration of the special lecture of "Moving Imagination and Wonderful". He said that the idea of starting from a cultural relic, the combination of dynamic people to static cultural relics, the contrast between the overall light gray and the heavy emphasis, are all wonderful uses of the laws of art, and they are all "from the heart" and from her soul. The teacher's words and the audience's love made me deepen my understanding of art theoretically. It strengthens my pace of continued exploration!
