Artistic Statement:
I, Chen Degui, was born in Xinji Township, Dingxi City, Gansu Province, a barren and resilient land. Growing up in a poor family, the lack of material life did not extinguish my thirst for knowledge and love for art. After graduating from high school, I was unable to continue my studies, but fate made me fall in love with calligraphy, a hobby that nourished my soul and shaped my tenacious character.
The ravines of the Loess Plateau have not only witnessed my growth footprints, but also given me endless inspiration for creation. In addition to farming, I am immersed in the world of calligraphy, the writing is smooth, the cursive is unrestrained, and the official script is simple, and each calligraphy is my unique interpretation of life and nature. Cursive, in particular, is like the voice of freedom in my heart, revealing my love for life, my dedication to art, and my yearning for freedom.
On the road of calligraphy, I continue to explore, collect the laws of the sages, and realize my potential. I believe that calligraphy is not only a demonstration of skills, but also the embodiment of spiritual expression and cultivation. Show in the heart, moisten the soul, this is the highest realm that I pursue as a calligrapher.
With the advancement of the "Belt and Road" initiative, the influence of traditional Chinese culture in the world is becoming more and more far-reaching. I am deeply honored to be able to use pen and ink as a medium in this era to respond to the call of the times and inherit and carry forward the excellent traditional Chinese culture. Winning the third prize in the 2024 celebration of the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China is not only an affirmation of my personal artistic achievements, but also the best reward for my perseverance and love.
I will continue to use the pen as the sword and the ink as the soul, continue to move forward on the road of calligraphy, use my works to tell Chinese stories, convey Chinese voices, and let the world feel the unique charm and profound heritage of Chinese culture.
