A Pathfrier who has persistent ideas

——Lin Weixiong's painting

Text / Zhang Jianming

One day in the end of the 1960s, Xihe's sunshine filled the morning. Sun Yat -sen's ancestral home was the birthplace of the ancestor of Guangdong -Zijin County, Guangdong Province. His parents named him "Lin Weixiong".

Lin Weixiong participated in the "Chinese Oil Painting" magazine to host the 2019 "Sketch China" training activity

He went to elementary school at the age of 6 and had a good academic performance. After studying in the junior high school in the town, he liked the book reading room of the school. There were a large number of magazine newspapers and magazine books. Lin Weixiong absorbed knowledge nutrition from it. At that time, many interesting comics were published in each issue of the central and provincial newspapers. Lin Weixiong, who especially liked comics, subscribed to a comic professional newspaper -the addition of "Iron and Humor". Interestingly, it was also called "Posts and Telecommunications Bureau" at the time. The staff responsible for the ordering newspaper said that the county people were "weird", but he subscribed to this newspaper. After long -term reading and exploration, he was good at thinking on the road of comic creation. In 1986, Lin Weixiong started contributing to newspapers and magazines. In 1987, the National Middle School Student Comics Gold Competition co -organized by Guangdong TV Station and "Boys and Girls" magazine and other units, he was also studying the second -class comic "Always in the Examination Room" in the second grade of high school. He won the second prize. In 1988, in order to pursue the dream of comics, Lin Weixiong took his back to the north of Jigong Mountain, Xinyang City, Henan Province to participate in the comic creation lecture classes organized by Henan Daily. In 1989, he was successfully admitted to the professional study and comics of the Department of Journalism of Zhengzhou University. During his studies in college, Lin Weixiong was lucky enough to obtain the guidance and careful cultivation of masters such as the three old Chinese comics, Ding Cong, Fang Cheng, and other masters. After graduating from college, he worked at the Municipal Daily, Provincial Daily and Government Cultural Department. Socialism, pursuing artistic dreams has laid a solid knowledge foundation and conditions that must be made in solid artistic creation.

Lin Weixiong's work "Spring Wang" (2016)

In the course of studying and artistic tempering, Lin Weixiong reads the history of world art compiled by Westerners, and found that it did not reflect a page of Chinese painting. Japanese paintings developed from ancient Chinese studies have entered the history of world art. This is undoubtedly a pity, and it has gradually become a heartbreaking, a heart disease in the pursuit of Lin Weixiong's art. In the source of art creation, he realized that in the long river of the development of the art world, artists have always been happy to play with painting forms, but ignore the implementation of painting content. The West started from the Renaissance of the 145th century in Europe, from classical realism to the 19th century Impressionist, and then post -impressionist, beasts, three -dimensionalism, abstractism ... The form has been changing, but it has not changed much in the performance of "painting content". Taking the same painting "characters" as an example, the painting of various factions and doctrine is very different in form. For example, Da Vinci, the representative of the Renaissance, adopted the form of classical realistic painting.

Lin Weixiong's "Harvest Season" (2011)

The Impressionist representative Monet attaches great importance to the effect of light and shadow. Later, the Impressionist represents Van Gogh's performance of the color of subjective feelings. Abstractism is that the characters are not like characters ... In modern contemporary, the manifestation of the artist's paintings is "messy." But it is clear that the derivatives of these factions and doctrines are changes in the form of painting, and they have not changed in the performance of "content" -have shapes, but the picture does not express ideas. Although during this period, there have also been representatives such as the absurd Patrick of the content of the content of the content, but the content of the work is dreamy, absurd, and the content of the performance is still empty, mysterious, and social reality with social reality. Pull a long way.

Lin Weixiong's work "Ru Ying Suizhuang" (2009)

Looking at the development of Oriental Art, it is mainly represented by Chinese painting. Oriental's painting materials are relatively single and special. Xuan paper, ink, 砚, and brushes in the four treasures of the essays are also. Because the Chinese painting method is painted by black and white ink, showing the image of nature and characters depends on the intuitive feelings of the artist. Lin Weixiong realized early that if the Western Impressionism was set up, Chinese painting will directly enter the "Impressionist and post -Impressionist" development period at the beginning, and stay in the development period of Impressionism for a long time. Until the beginning of the twentieth century, Western painting (watercolor, oil color) was introduced to China, and the Chinese people went against the development of Western painting. People studying abroad represented by Xu Beihong followed the style of painting in the European Renaissance. The new generation of artistic talents has created a large number of new and contemporary artists represented by Jin Shangyi, Leng Jun and so on. Chinese paintings have also been "improved" in the east of Western learning, and the traditional "Impressionist Painting method" of Chinese painting has also developed in the direction of realism. After entering the 21st century, China is still a realistic artist singing protagonist like Jin Shangyi and Leng Jun regardless of the oil painting industry. It is a formal history of single -line development, which leaves Lin Weixiong. He found the space for painting innovation and breakthroughs in another "line" of painting elements. Through tireless learning, practice and thinking, he had a deep obsession for the direction of the "ideological school" and killing a bloody path. Lin Weixiong's "Dinner" (2009)

The West has sneered at realistic painting. After entering the 21st century, artists represented by Jin Shangyi and Leng Jun are still popular in China. This has to make people think and reflect. Why can't art take advantage of the history of the history of the world of art "a answer! Lin Weixiong firmly believes that in order to gain a foothold in the world of art and find confidence, you must find space and gaps in the direction of world art development. If we compare the form and content to the "two legs" of art creation, then the artists go too far in the "one foot" in the form. Due to the development of lame, the development of Western art has almost entered the "dead end". Only from another "one leg" of art to find a way out, it is to put another "one leg" from the content of painting and let the world art make the world art. Going to the "Kangzhuang Avenue" again.

Lin Weixiong's "Anju Project" (2010)

Graduated from Zhengzhou University, Lin Weixiong was brewing his own faction and grasping the string of painting thought content. He first prepared two ways of expression of ink and oil. The ink is mainly black and white. His teacher Fang Cheng was exploring ink comics earlier. Although his works are very popular in the country and the Chinese circle, it is found that ink painting is difficult to squeeze into the art world and market in the West. The fact that it cannot be denied at present is that oil paint (oil painting) is still the buzzwords of world art, so Lin Weixiong learns to improve the foundation of oil painting (oil paint), integrates comic creation with ideological content into oil painting creation, and benefits from it. Slowly, Lin Weixiong set off a set of his own theoretical program, painting skills and expression forms. In his creation, the manifestation of the picture is freehand. The content of the painting performance must be "out of nothing", and there is "story", but it is not separated from social reality, but "from reality, painting in reality", story stories, stories The content of the content should be achieved by "logical and unexpected".

Lin Weixiong's "Heavy Filter" (2010)

Lin Weixiong said that painting must be considered, and the picture has "stories" and "thought". In the past, most painters were "what to see and what to draw", such as paying attention to sketching and realism, and regarding sketching and realism as creation. He believes that if painting is used as a "spiritual product" and "spiritual food", the painting must have "ideological stories". In the past, some great artists thought that the thoughts of painting were hidden in the composition and form of works. In fact, this is quite lacking. The true painting thought should be in the performance and expression of the picture. The idea of ​​painting includes composition, expression forms, and performance content, which is indispensable, otherwise it cannot be said to be "real painting creation works". Calculate a "practice" of training and painting style, it cannot be counted

Lin Weixiong's "Cangjie Horse" (2011)

"Painting creation works". Therefore, Lin Weixiong does not draw what you see, but "what you think of what to draw". Everything in the world, animals and plants and people are just the "good helper" he created. Essence Lin Weixiong's artistic creation directly touched the rich thoughts and inspiration in the mind. Of course, these thoughts and inspirations naturally stemmed from the real world and his observation and thinking. "Ideological School" came into this way.

Lin Weixiong's work "Consequences of Chaos" (2020)

Lin Weixiong's work with talents and thoughts has had a certain impact in the art world and society. In recent years, his works have participated in the national exhibition and international exhibition many times and won awards.The collectors and art museums collected at home and abroad have continued to increase.As early as 1990, when Ding Cong, a master of comics taught at Zhengzhou University, saw a group of comics of Lin Weixiong's painting primitive, cheerfully: "Lin Weixiong, classmate, I like your humorous paintings ..." In 2007, came to Guangdong, came to GuangdongFang Cheng, a comic master of ink comics held in Shenzhen, Zhongshan, Heyuan and other cities.(The author of this article Zhang Jianming is the deputy general manager of the 289 Cultural Industry Investment Company, Guangdong South China)
