Editor's note:

Zhejiang has profound cultural heritage, and many celebrities and their outstanding works are well -known at home and abroad. From today, the "Zhejiang Yigenzhi" integrates media column, telling the story of famous artists in the cultural and artistic field of contemporary Zhejiang, so stay tuned.

Character business card:

Xu Jiang, vice chairman of the Federation of Chinese Literature and Art, President of the Chinese Oil Painting Society, Vice Chairman of the Chinese Artists Association, and chairman of the Zhejiang Literature and Art Circle Federation.

There is a yard in Hangzhou Baima Lake. The buildings that are combined with red wall bricks and gray cement are combined with the mountains, and they are naturally decent. It has both the elegance of Jiangnan and the modern sense.

This is the "most sunflower garden" art center.

Among them, several sunflowers forged from red copper, scattered in the outdoor area, with an average weight of more than 2 tons, and the color of the land flashed in the sun.

In the past 20 years, Mr. Xu Jiang, who has been creating with Kwai as the theme, is thinking about thinking and concentrating on the conference, and more often, it is often swinging a pen.

Mr. Xu Jiang was sitting in a crisis, his eyes were bright.

He does not seem to be interviewed, but more like an art class. On a book that was taken out, he wrote three major pages with a dark pen densely, and the industrial and industrial work was written. It also made various marks with a red pen.

In the tea incense, we began to listen to him sometimes, sometimes low, and sometimes silent.

"Art is the raft of the soul"

One afternoon, passing by Hangzhou Metro Station, when we went to visit Mr., we deliberately took the bronze carving work "Sunshine · Sunflower Garden" created 10 years ago at Wulin Square Station.

We showed the photos to our husband, and his majestic eyes became softer. "I haven't been there for a long time, I will take a look at it." He closer and carefully looked at the photo, as if he had faced a child who hadn't seen him for many years.

The sunflower full of sunflowers was enthusiastic in the urban space of the endless flow of Sichuan. This is the endless praise of the city, and the silent nourishment of the ordinary people's soul.

"People rush to the city, art can bring a moment of tranquility." He said that beauty can soothe the soul, so he has always insisted on creating beautiful works for the public.

"The new crown virus allows humans who have lived in peace for more than half a century." Mr. said, "Art is the call of the soul. For those in those epidemic, art is a bamboo raft for overweight and fear."

"I found my artist and friends, more calm than others. They hurriedly read books during the epidemic and painted the paintings. "Mr. said.

Pick up the brush, paint what you think in your heart; pick up the writing, write what you think. Because the epidemic and cultural exchanges are reduced, it also allows him to have more time to read, think and create.

The road of art is difficult to enter. Mr. said that his "idiot" stems from years of attachment to beauty and art. He said that engaging in art is a spiritual persistence. It must have an international perspective and local care.

"Global vision and local care symbiotic interaction"

During the interview, there was a sudden rain, the sound of rain rusty, and the green outside the window was like oil painting. The indoor is more quiet. It talks about the Chinese Academy of Fine Arts ("Gome"), and the gorgeous and world.

For Mr., Gome is an insignificant topic. When it comes to Gome, he looks respectful.

"The international vision is not unique to our generation." In 1928, when Cai Yuanpei selected Hangzhou West Lake to create the National Art Institute, Cai Yuanpei took the purpose of reconciling Chinese and Western art as the purpose of running the school. Most of the generations of Gome started studying abroad and study. It can be seen that international vision has always been the pursuit of Gome. Gome is the world of Gome. It must not only take root in China's fertile soil, but also have a world vision. "Global vision and local care symbiotic interaction, this is the source of Gome's spirit."

From studying in Gome, to coaching to serving as the dean, he had a gorgeous complex for 40 years at school. He said that this is the continuation of the spirit of Gome. Xu Jiang is creating.

"Our generation has caught up with reform and opening up, the auction of individual life and the rhythm of the fate of the entire society and the entire nation." Mr. said that with national funding, he went abroad to study abroad and opened his eyes.

After serving as the principal, his gentleman proposed a global vision and local care symbiotic interaction. He said: "The international vision is power, and local care is the core. All of our majors must be born and reconstructed through the vision of the world and the international perspective. Gome has promoted the holding of the Shanghai Biennale and the Shanghai World Expo.

At this time, Mr. took a thick book from the notebook. The "giant" named "Fate of the Earth" was published in 2003. The book has been slightly yellow, but the gentleman has a lot of money.

In 2002, when Mr. Gome was the dean of Gome, he felt a cultural interval between Asian countries and carried out a contemporary art survey in Asia. He chose Hangzhou, Istanbul, Mumbai, Tehran, Bangkok and other Asian cities, and the results were finally condensed into this book.

Mr. also mentioned a period of past. Former dean of the San Francisco Academy of Fine Arts, Martin, donated his more than 40 art works to Gome. Mr. said: "This is both a respect for Gome, but also a respect for Chinese art."

"Create more colorful stages for young people"

The gentleman loves to listen to the show, and occasionally humming in the creative gap. "Some time ago, the 81 -year -old Mr. Wang Shiyu and his disciples performed" Wang Men's Salary Biography "on the same stage. I was moved after watching it. As a leading figure in the Kunqu world, Mr. Wang has trained many outstanding talents for Zhejiang drama. This performance , I have gathered six types of dramas: Kunqu, Yan Opera, Yue Opera, Yue Opera, Shao Opera, and Drama. "

In fact, Mr. himself is also a master who has no reservation. In Gome, regardless of whether he is a teacher or a dean, or the current director of the academic committee, he is very concerned about the training of young talents. Many of the disciples have become famous at home and abroad.

Today, as the chairman of the Zhejiang Provincial Federation of Literature and Literature, Mr. Mr. puts some energy on the curatorial. He said that he would create more colorful stage for young people.

In the first half of this year, Mr. Grandma spent a lot of effort to plan the Jiang International Youth Art Week. This event will "occupy" the art gallery of Hangzhou every time. For 4 years in a row, it has become a festival in this city. Mr. said: "We hope that college students and young artists around the world can use art to communicate the soul by art on the banks of the West Lake, while bringing inspiration back to the world. This is also the dream of the generation pioneer of Cai Yuanpei and Lin Fengmian."

In July 2021, Xu Jiang introduced the "100 -year responsibility" Zhejiang art special exhibition to the media.

Mr. said that at the new peak talent work exhibition, he saw that the new generation of the art, calligraphy, and photography industry had grown, and he was very pleased.

Next, Mr. hopes that through the driving of the provincial brand theme of the provincial brand brand "poetry and painting Jiangnan, vibrant Zhejiang", with the help of the Jiangjiang Art Corridor, Song Yun Jinhui Cultural Festival and other activities, it will promote the creation of Zhejiang's cultural boutique and cultivate more literary and artistic army.

"Behind these activities, its core is to reshape tradition, activate cultural quality, and promote the formation of Zhejiang's artistic talents and the formation of cultural boutique creations." The husband said that he stood up, and his hands scratched a V gesture in the air, as a movement stopped abruptly.

The rain outside was stopped, and the sky was like a huge canvas, the clouds or light ink, or the color, the beauty and the United States, and naturally.

The giant sunflower in the yard is far away, like a hot soldering iron, embedded in this green sunflower garden.

"Come on, leave a photo together!" Mr. enthusiastically invited us to take a photo in front of the copper carving. "Come often, I will tell you the story again."
