Line dance

——Watch Chen Leijun's print work feels like

Literature/Dai Daquan (Professor, doctoral supervisor, deputy director of the Department of Painting, Deputy Director of the Department of Printing and Art Committee of the Chinese Academy of Painting, Deputy Dean of the Chinese Academy of Painting, Deputy Dean of the Chinese Academy of Painting Director of the committee)

Throughout the prints of ancient and modern, most people do not understand or ignore. The reason is that the printmaking technicians can use the art of printmaking less. The ancient prints are mostly illustrated illustrations, and the actual value is the first. Compared with the artistic quality of the literati painting style after the Song and Yuan Dynasties, it is really inferior to the artistic quality. However, Chen Leijun's prints are deliberately interested in painting expressions, combining the technology of prints with art perfectly. Chen Leijun continuously explores the media and expression of the art of printmaking. Through his works, we can feel his personalized understanding and unique expression value of life and society.

"Tongyuan" 100 × 200cm

Line is the main feature of Chen Leijun's works. Chen Leijun's work takes lines as a breakthrough, absorbing the essence of the lines of Chinese painting, and tried to avoid mechanical imitation of the lines of Chinese painting, and strives to show the unique knife and wood taste of printmaking art. The value of lines in Chinese painting is the body structure, space perspective, and artistic conception, and all kinds of descriptions are the purpose of vividness. Looking at the lines in Chen Leijun's works, what we feel is the visual tension that is contrary to the lines and strength of the lines of Chinese painting. His works are more messy and almost graffiti lines, and this is exactly the embodiment of his life and society through lines. What I see in the mess is reason, orderly, and about life's thinking about society. For example, in 2003, he won the "Explanation" of the 2nd China Art Golden Lottery Award National Fine Art Exhibition. The messy lines in the work have no rules and no charm. The character image is vaguely visible in the mess. The entire work is to win with chaos. When the confusion of modern people, pursue in tediousness and thinking in the mess, the emotions of modern people are undoubted. At the same time, the work "One Mountain, One Water, One Saint" was also reflected in this style. "Interpretation" 50 × 80cm

The art of prints originated from the folk public, rooting and germination on the grass -roots class. If Chinese prints originate from the printed mother, the folk New Year painting across the country is the aunt of printmaking art. Chen Leijun was born in Weifang, Shandong. This is the birthplace of Yangjiabu's wooden New Year painting. After completing the exploration of lines, he began to consciously apply some expression factors in folk wooden New Year painting in his language. The composition form and color block composition of the folk New Year's paintings are still mainly lines and color blocks to form a delicate constituent relationship. Secondly, the layout of black blocks effectively makes up for the lack of line expression. The reasonable composition of lines and color blocks has both the charm of the oriental lines and the essence of the western color block. Highlight the mood and think about what you want to express.

"The Fast Horse of the Gate God" 120 × 80cm

Such works such as "The Soldiers of the Gate God Series will block", "The Fast Horse of the Gate God Series", "The Flower Blossom of the Gate God Series", and "The Male Zuo Women of the Men God Series". In this series of works, it is obvious that he can feel how Chen Leijun starts with the year of the door gods and how to break through the expression of traditional New Year painting to express the emotions of contemporary people. And such works integrate the charm of the early lines in the expression language and the constitutional relationship between folk New Year painting, which makes people feel familiar strange and new. On this basis, Chen Leijun gradually broke away from the obvious form of reference and sorted out unique personal expressions. He has created a series of works such as "Grass Grass", "Qingshan Still in", "Life Like a Play", "Stubborn Life". It can be said that the work of the door god series, as a carrier of faith, has gradually got rid of the traditional manifestations of folk New Year painting, and refined Chen Leijun's unique line -based print language. The sum of society is at the same time, and at the same time, Chen Leijun's artistic value and significance.

Who is not a theater

—— Reading Chen Lei's version of paintings

Text/Ph.D. in Song Changjiang Fine Arts

Looking at Chen Lei's layout, the momentum comes from the moment, and the magnificence in the inside is as the empty picture says "return to the virtuality, accumulates health". This momentum first originated from the size of the picture. The series such as "Drama Life" and "Spring Xingxing" are nearly two meters high. Whether it is a character or a scene, it has a strong sense of mountains. However, if you look closely at a close distance, you can be attracted by the "unlimited details" in the painting, so as to the vast and fine.

"Spring to Taihang" 60 × 180cm

The line is an important characteristic of Chen Lei's version. If the quality is not allowed to be in the line, it cannot be peek at its Olympics. Line is an important means and form of Chinese painting and calligraphy. The beauty of ancient art and charm is derived from the "one painting" of lines. The lines in Chen Lei's version seem to be confused and spreading on the surface, but in fact, it is in order, which is reasonable and reasonable. Taking "Drama Life" as an example, the shape of the characters depends on the lines, and the entanglement clearly shows the character movements, clothing forms, and even clothing and decoration. Whether it is a female character Feng Yanhua crown, or the seawater cliff in men's clothing, it is painted. From this perspective, the strength of the form of printmaking is never weaker than that of Chinese brushwork, Western oil painting and watercolor. Sometimes, Chen Lei will deliberately make one or two lines stand out, and suddenly cross the painting, as if not talking about painting. However, it is this line that breaks the "bottom bottom" relationship of painting tradition. The picture and the bottom are no longer binary opposition, but integrated into each other, symbiotic and prosperous. The front and back space of the picture have also been re -separated.

"Life Like a Play" 60 × 180cm

The lines in Chen Lei's version highlight the characteristics of the prints. The traditional Chinese wood prints are more practical than the aesthetic, and are mostly used for book illustrations and etiquette sacrifices. The characteristics of the prints themselves are covered behind the image content. Chen Lei is engraved with traditional literati painting lines and folk wooden prints. Its prints lines have both calligraphy lines and the simplicity of folk prints. It can be said that in Chen Lei, the characteristics of the "seal" and "line" of Chinese prints are fully publicized, and the language of the "version" art ontology of the prints has become the leading lead. Of course, Chen Lei is not paranoid to the "line" in the prints, and it is also skilled in "block". If the "line" of prints is equivalent to "pen" in Chinese paintings, then the print "Block" is like the "ink" of Chinese painting. The upper part of this series is generally large -area black blocks, the bottom of the bottom surface, the ring of the cave in the middle, the white in the middle becomes the "cave sky" of painting eyes. The emergence of the "line" in the middle benefits the upper and lower parts of the "ink" block, which achieves a line ink, black and white. The five generations of Jinghao said: "Wu Daozi has a pen and no ink, Xiang Rong has ink without pen, and I will pick the two sons and become the body of the family." road". "Drama Life" 60 × 180cm

Judging from the subject matter, Chen Lei prefers opera characters, scenery, and still, and expresses the inner security and calmness in the seemingly complicated image. From the perspective of the author's favorite "The Play Like Life", Xiaodan's elegant and tranquility, the calm and firmness of the oldness contain Chen Lei's attitude of life. Xu Wei's "The Top Strite Puppet Map" has a cloud: "The account drama is no longer true, the painting puppet is like a neighbor. Thinking of the heavenly tent, who is not a theater." In the fast and chaotic era rhythm Among them, Chen Lei still retains the calmness of her heart, and uses the bustling of the people in the theater to perceive the ordinary and innocence of life. This kind of spiritual image expression is what artist Chen Lei thinks about the individual, and it is also the era of printmaking creation. The printmaking is no longer a printed matter with mediocrity in the image content, but an artwork that expresses personal emotions and emotions.

Recently, Chen Lei is also keen on the creation of Chinese painting sketches. Most of the bottle flowers are based on the traditional Chinese clear supply and year -old dynasty. One pulse. In addition to artistic creation, Chen Leiya's good text collection is as large as strange stone, Yaibai, portrait stone patch, small to porcelain cups, Xiao Yan, coral stone, etc., unknown. Dong Qichang once said in "The Thirteen Introduction of the Bone Dong": "The device of the gift can be made in virtue, and the old inscriptions can be lean." Chen Lei also intended to this. ", Taste Wenwan's inner" Tao "and" reason. " The "unhelpful good" outside these prints also just interprets the tranquility and peace of the artistic mood of Chen Lei's art.
