He came from the water village

In China, there are not many art galleries named after personal names, but there are two in the water village Kunshan. One of the ancient town Jinxi with a history of thousands of years, called Zhangye Art Museum; the other was called "the first town of the Shenzhou Water Village" in Mr. Fei Xiaotong, which was called Zhangye Art Museum. Jinxi was born in the hometown of Zhang Province in Sri Lanka. At the beginning of the new century, the government of Jinxi Town invested 3 million yuan, and the art museums with water township characteristics were born. The straight Zhang Provincial Art Museum is a 3500 -square -meter three -story building, which was invested by the Guanzhi Town Government for more than 20 million yuan and was completed in 2014. Both museums are collected and showed the works of calligraphy and painting and collections of different periods donated by Zhang Province. The construction of the art museum and art gallery invested by the local government is naturally the supreme glory for a painter.

He has known Zhang Province for more than 30 years. At that time, it was "Xiao Zhang", and the age of Fenghua was old. He has a long figure, handsome and handsome, not talking tightly. Wu Nong's soft words accompanied by an elegant smile, the sincerity of the glorious eyes, made people instantly believe that this is a friend worthy of being interested.

At that time, Zhang Province did design work in the Municipal Light Industry Bureau, and was not a professional painter. The picturesque water villages and rich cultural atmosphere give him an inherent painting. He wandered in ancient towns, villages, rivers, small bridges in Shuixiang ... Get sketching and accumulated materials; he visited famous teachers and asked for advice with an open mind. Freehand flower and bird painting, landscape painting techniques, pen and ink control and color processing, and the use of the postscript, etc. He rushed his body and mind in calligraphy and painting, like a hungry person on the bread. Three more lights and five more chickens, kung fu is not responsible for people. His level of painting has a qualitative leap, and his works will follow the water village.

As a pursuit of painter, Zhang province will naturally not be satisfied with existing achievements. He focuses on the combination of painting theory and creative practice. At the same time, he concentrates on studying famous paintings in all ages, and draws nutrients from painting history and painting; go to famous museums, art museums at home and abroad to inspect and observe Chinese famous paintings, and expand his vision. Receive and integrate, integrate, repeatedly refine the language of painting, and explore the form of expressions, thus going out of an innovation path.

At the beginning of the new century, after careful consideration, Zhang Provincial decided to go south of Yangcheng, and was invited to be the director of the Art Department of Matsuda College, Guangzhou University, and walked into another station in life. The heavy responsibility of "preaching and interpretation of confusion" has inadvertently deepened the view of "painting" he advocated and opened a new window of art.

In those years, in addition to the occasional calls, we rarely met each other, but our souls were always summoning each other. When we returned to the hometown from Nanyue in the year of Zhangyue, we finally got together to gather in the ancient town.

The years have increased, the water is long, and the feelings are still deep. Step into the Zhang Provincial Museum of Art in the ancient town, landscape paintings, flowers and birds paintings, gouache paintings, regular script, Lishu, cursive ... The colorful works are dizzying.

Many calligraphy and painting works are dominated by ink landscape painting. The main purpose of landscape painting is to create artistic conception and transmit emotions. Zhang province said that ink painting uses a pen to shape, coloring ink, and using the various changes of ink to express the color, light, darkness, bumps, space, and so on. The artist's skills of the use of pen and ink are important conditions for expressing objects and creating artistic conceptions, and achieve both form and spirit. His landscape painting is to express the real scene in the form of a pen and ink without being bound by the real scene. Through the integration of "real" and "heart image", it can achieve the wonderful effect of deepening and "vivid charm" from shaped to God.

"Jiangnan Four Seasons" is four screens, presenting the four different seasons of Jiangnan spring, summer, autumn and winter. The composition is atmospheric, and the ink is agile. The villages, fishing boats, trees, and small bridges on the screen are full of spring, either lush, or gloomy, or silver wrapped. The composition uses the laws of control and illumination, or the brushwork is rigid and soft, the virtual and reality, or the ink color is strong, warm and warm. The picture is harmonious, balanced, and integrated, the artistic conception is clear, full of charm, giving people a beautiful enjoyment.

Another example is the picture of "Spring Breeze and the Green River", which is a large area of ​​emerald green rendering the Momoda scalp to convey the message of spring; villages, trees, fishing boats, small bridges, and villages with black tiles and white walls nearby show the characteristics of the region of the south of the river. The picture is fresh and quiet, full of charm. Before standing, it seemed to hear the rustling sound of the branches, the gurgling sound of the fishing boat, and the sound of the village aunt's tapping. Appreciating this painting, seeing its shape, as the sound of its sound, as the ancient Greek poet Simandus said, "Painting is a silent poem, poetry is a sound painting." Music, silent painting achieves the artistic effect of "sound", how many rich life fun and deep artistic conception are added to the work!

French sculpture artist Rodin said: "Art is emotion." Fanfan's artistic works that can move and infect people always reflect or express the artist's distinctive, strong and profound feelings. Works without emotion cannot be an excellent work.

Landscape is a medium for poets and painters to express emotions. Many Chinese paintings and poems use landscapes as their performance and singing centers. The landscape painting of Zhang Province's landscape painting is moving and infected with the painter's hot and hot emotions in the works, showing the feelings of sincerity and warmth of the hometown and the feelings of the motherland.

Youyou Tianyu, strong hometown. Among the landscape paintings of Zhang Province, the crowd of "Jiangnan" is invincible: "Jiangnan Water Village", "Jiangnan Four Seasons", "Jiangnan October", "Spring Breeze and Green River South Bank", "Another Jiangnan Spring" ... Jiangnan is a painter The hometown of life, the cradle of life, records his life trajectory. Therefore, he will love the pens of his hometown, with thick green trees, small bridges flowing water, fishing boats, and the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan with high wins. The distinctive Jiangnan characteristics, bright and fresh artistic conception, rich life atmosphere, all of which have pinned the painter's hometown. "The sunrise rivers are red, and the rivers are green as blue. Can you remember the south of the river?" The home is connected to the country, and the hometown is connected to the country. In Zhang Province's writing, the hometown and the motherland are in the same vein. Look at the picture of his "so many coquettish": the peaks of the towering mountains, the white clouds lingering, the thin red sun, the Pentium river, the ancient wood ... open and spectacular pictures, the realm of the scenes, is refreshing Essence

When we appreciate this painting, we not only perceive the natural scenery depicted by the works, but also feel the emotional experience of the painter in the scene: Isn't it a towering mountain peak? Isn't a round of red sun spraying out and Xia Guangwan Xiangyun, isn't it the symbol of the prosperity of the socialist motherland!

The work sends the painter's affection for the motherland's mother, and it is also a precious gift for the 60th anniversary of the founding of the New China. The heartstrings of the audience were moved by the emotions of the artist, and they unknowingly entered the realm of the integration of the scene. The so -called "mountain climbing is full of mountains, and the sea is overflowing with the sea" is also.

At the end of the Ming and early Qing dynasties, the famous painter of Changzhou Painting School said: "The pen and ink are ruthless and cannot make the brush -in and ink ruthlessness. The painting is in love, and the learner cannot be affectionate." , Dajiang Dahe, ascending Huangshan, You Taishan, Shangjinggang, Yueqinling Mountains, and crossing the Three Gorges, wading mountains and wading, travel sketches, greatly broaden the field of vision and accumulate rich materials. The scenery was stimulated by Lenovo, and Lenovo caused empathy. The Five Yue of China, the vast sea, the Yangtze River, Yellow River, Water Township, Ancient Town ... all show it in front of people, making viewers unforgettable and fascinating. Master Liu Haisu sighed: "The Chinese paintings created by Zhang province are biography for the Chinese mountains and rivers."

In addition to landscape paintings, there are also some flower and bird paintings displayed. In the flower and bird painting, it should be the most eye -catching with grape painting. The vibrian grape vines, crystal clear grape beads, or drooping, or full of baskets; purple, green, milky white, like emerald and agate. The three -dimensional crystal, lively dripping, natural interests.

In the creation of grape paintings, Zhang province organically blends the traditional ink and western painting colors, absorb the perspective and light and shadow expression in Western painting, uses the color of the color, and leaves a high light point in the middle of the grapes, and both work. Due to this unique method, the beads are full, fresh and tender water spirit, and grapes with a translucent texture and light feeling. It is wonderful, leaping on the paper, producing a strong visual impact. The grapes that show the joy of harvest and good luck are the perennial themes of flowers and birds. After many years of exploration and practice, Zhang province has "exceeded" and forms unique grape paintings. Therefore, some people call him "Zhang Grapes".

The multiple ancient words hanging by the art museum have attracted a lot of interest in the audience. Zhang province introduced to me that Chinese characters are one of the oldest characters in history, and it is the oldest life star in the text family. Ancient people recorded a thing, first of all, the shape. The earliest text was image, and the earliest painting was meaningful. I have painted for decades, and often pour in ink, while thinking about it. Once, the same nature of Chinese ancient text and painting was suddenly associated with "homology of calligraphy and painting." As a result, he germinated the idea of ​​revealing the "same -the -omatic" password.

The province began to collect extensive ancient text relics. The ancient texts scattered throughout the ancient times, including cultural heritage rock paintings left by the ancestors. He boldly imagined the words used in real life, that is, more than 10,000 words that are still "serving" in ancient words and transformed into "image".

Come and summer, spring breeze and autumn rain. An ancient textual book "Dialogue with the Ancients" with more than 10,000 characters and ocean views finally came out. Feng Jicai, vice chairman of the Chinese Federation of Literary and Art Federation, highly commented that this is "a maverick, unlimited and wonderful calligraphy masterpiece." This "ancient phenomenon god book" is the crystallization of the hard work and wisdom of Zhang Province for decades. No wonder Mr. Fan Zeng, a famous painter, praised him as a multi -talented painter who integrates calligraphy and painting and art history.

Zhang Province, a painter from the water village, now has a variety of titles such as members of the Chinese Artists Association, a national first -level artist, and a lifelong professor of Guangzhou University, and enjoyed a special allowance of the State Council. More than thirty times at home and abroad, many domestic publishers have published more than forty types of Zhang Province's works, and their works have been presented to foreign heads of state as gifts. CCTV, Shanghai TV Station, Guangdong TV Station, Singapore Television, etc. have made them special introductions to him. The Ministry of Culture awarded him the honorary title of "Excellent People's Artists" in 2005. The hometown government established the art museum and art museum for him, and even showed the highest honor.

Based on worldly opinions, Zhang province can be described as well -known, and you can enjoy the blessing.Zhang province believes that life has an end point and art is endless."The road is long, and the behavior is approaching.
