Mr. Zhuang Lijing, a famous landscape painter, is a professor of Chinese painting department of Nanjing Art Institute. His works "Tiger Dragon Brand" and "Iron Casting of Rivers and Mountains" were selected for the 6th and 8th National Art Exhibition respectively. Zhongshan under the Wind and Rain was selected in the National Art Exhibition of the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Liberation Army in China, and won the second prize. Looking at the Great River is collected by China Art Museum. 1993 won the title of bronze award artist in international painting and calligraphy, and his artistic achievements were compiled into many celebrity dictionaries. He is currently a member of China Artists Association, a special painter of Xinhua Painting and Calligraphy Institute of Xinhua News Agency, an art consultant of China Art Park of Zhonghua Bookstore in Taiwan Province, China, a director of Japanese Painting and Calligraphy Association and an executive director of Jiangsu International Artists Gallery.
Mr. Zhuang is a literati painter who integrates teaching, writing and creation. Look at his landscape and listen to him talk about art, and you will appreciate his profound academic views and the simple character that a scholar should have. He attached great importance to and effectively solved the relationship between inheriting tradition and innovative development, and formed his own artistic language in the nourishment of life. His paintings not only have the pen and ink of the sages, but also have the concept and composition of modern art, which combines the length, majestic spirit and beautiful and moist charm of North and South paintings, showing bold, broad, fresh and colorful artistic structure and interest.
Professor Xian, president of Jiangsu Flower-and-Bird Painting Research Association and doctoral supervisor of the Academy of Fine Arts of Nanjing Normal University, was praised by famous painters for Mr. Zhuang Lijing's landscape painting: "The Zhuang family, traveling from south to north, are addicted to words, are good at controlling famous works, making use of mountains to create momentum, simplifying the complex and making the painting look vigorous." Zhao, the former vice chairman of Jiangsu Artists Association and a famous painter, commented on his landscape paintings: "Now many people write landscapes with similar roads and faces, but Mr. Zhuang Lijing's landscapes are obviously far away from them. He can jump out of many landscape paintings and is full of strong artistic personality. You can tell at a glance that he did it. "
Mr. Zhuang Lijing, 1947 was born in Zhenjiang in March. He studied painting when he was a child. In high school, he loved Mr. Qian Songyan's painting art very much, and wrote to Qian Laomu, then president of Jiangsu Academy of Traditional Chinese Painting. After reading it, Qian Laomu ordered the relevant personnel to reply on his behalf, asking him to learn from the nearby teachers and lay a good foundation. He has kept this letter for more than 30 years. Teacher Zhuang said it seemed to be yesterday. At the age of 20, he settled in Nanjing and worked in a factory. It was the "Cultural Revolution". He likes painting so much that he doesn't know the way to Danqing. Soon, he met Qian Songnie, a painter of Jinling School, a master of landscape painting and the president of Jiangsu Provincial Academy of Traditional Chinese Painting. At this time, Qian Lao was persecuted and "excluded" because Deng Tuo wrote articles praising him and unwarranted historical problems. Mr. Zhuang Lijing arrived with a warm heart. He was glad to see that the young man copied many of his paintings in his spare time, so he accepted the apprentice. Later, he was guided by Yaming, Song Wenzhi and other predecessors. Seven years later, he was admitted to Nanyi with excellent results, and was personally guided by painters Liu Haisu, Chen Dayu and Zhang Wenjun. The phrase "a famous teacher makes a noble apprentice" was once again confirmed in him.
After systematic artistic training, Mr. Zhuang graduated from Nanyi with excellent results and stayed in school to teach. For decades, he paid equal attention to teaching, writing and painting, and attached great importance to the study of the history, theory and method of Chinese painting. He went deep into the landscape of contemporary painters and traced their "flow". He talked with sages, devoted himself to studying ancient paintings and calligraphy, visited Mei Qing's delicate and graceful little book and the beauty of the "Four Kings", and recalled Shi Tao's bold smile and Gong Xian's boundless vigor. He deeply explored the aesthetics and theory of China's landscape painting to understand the inheritance and development of China's landscape painting in pen, ink, color and water.
In his view, tradition is "flow", life is "source", "nature is made by foreign teachers, and the heart comes from China" and "mountains and rivers meet and trace" all emphasize the essence of inheritance and development-learning from nature. If you want to "hit it with the greatest skill and the greatest courage", you still have to learn from nature. His artistic view is: attaching importance to tradition, learning from tradition, going deep into tradition, and going deep into life are the development and innovation of modern China landscape painting, creating works with both the essence of tradition and the flavor of the times and a high degree. To this end, he climbed the mountain near the water, climbed Huangshan Mountain 12 times, went to Guilin three times, went to Changbai Mountain twice, went to Jiuhua, went to Kuanglu, visited Taidai, waded in Lishui, and visited the famous mountains and rivers in China. He took nature as his teacher, photographed landscapes and entered his own bone marrow. Especially during the period from 1984 to 1993, the Jiangsu landscape painting group headed by the famous landscape painter Yaming traveled to "Yunnan-Guizhou", "Northeast" and "Northwest", went deep into life, observed and sketched natural scenery, sought out and summarized various artistic laws of Danqing landscape in life, and made great achievements in modeling structure, space treatment, mountains and bones and so on. In sketching, he eats bitter and is not afraid of suffering, and the inaccessible place is his favorite place to go. When sketching on the way to Sichuan and Wumeng Mountain in Guizhou, it often rains and needs shelter. He prefers to walk in the rain, not to sketch with a pen, but to paint silently on the silk of his heart. It's strange that the mountains are empty and rainy. He realized the wonderful truth of ink dripping in the wind and rain of mountains and rivers, spilled ink on mountains and rivers, and gave full play to the role of water. He first splashed Shan Ye with a large amount of ink, and then broke through the wet thick ink with light ink and clear water. Driven by the pen, he sought the relationship between black and white, the change of line and surface, and made people feel the storm and thunder in the bright and smooth pen and ink. Strange Cave in the Valley, Rainy Rain, Rainy Rain in Qian Shan and other paintings are his representative works of understanding the relationship between ink and painting in the rain and fog. His masterpiece "The Scenery of Qinglong Ancient Cave" was sketched in Qiandongnan Prefecture, Guizhou Province, with lines as the main strokes, and the lines of the trembling stone roof leaking rain showed the winding mountains. The ancient trees in the mountains are lush, and the ancient temples are shaded by green trees; Canoes under the Qinghe River and the mountain. This work just shows the unique mountain structure and seeks the painting significance of harmony between man and nature.
From 65438 to 0984, Mr. Zhuang Lijing's "Tiger Ju Long Pan Tu" was selected for the 6th National Art Exhibition. This work has a vertical composition and a far-reaching perspective. Looking closely, the river is vast and dotted with white sails: the cliffs near the river are heavy and the banks are stacked with greenery, splashing ink and pushing mountains. Mid shot, with the trembling lines in the center, draws today's Jinling, with rows of high-rise buildings. After that, I wrote the vision with light ink and light flowers, which was hazy and lifelike. The technique of this picture is far behind Dong Yuan's dotted line, seeking for the natural broken pen and Jiao Mo effect, following the method of accumulating ink by Xi Shi, Gong Xian and Li Keran, and combining pen and ink with qi to moisten the south of the Yangtze River, showing the poetry of "making a tiger stand and a dragon stand above the ancient times".
Zhongshan under the Wind and Rain collected by China Military Museum is another art building. This picture is mainly based on Zhang Daqian and Liu Haisu's ink-breaking method. Splash first and then break, ink and wash vividly show the situation that "Zhongshan is stormy and yellow, and millions of heroes cross the river". The foreground is heavy with ink, the black roof sets off the pallor of the "presidential office", and the vanguard troops are charging; The middle scene is the ancient city wall of Jinling and the dense Zhongshan: no matter how far away, clouds are lingering and sails are full of shadows. Although there is no natural wind and rain in the whole picture, it makes people feel stormy and the atmosphere is compelling. This work has a profound sense of history, poetry and serious theme. It won the second prize in the National Art Exhibition of the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Liberation Army in China, and was included in the collection of military historical paintings of the People's Liberation Army in China.
Wan Cast Iron is his work selected for the 8th National Art Exhibition. This picture absorbed the majestic trend of Fan Kuan in Song Dynasty and the bold essence of Li Tang's pen and ink, and wrote "the first mountain in the world"-Tieweng City in Beigushan, Zhenjiang. The contrast of light and shade between rocks and Woods, as well as ink lines and stains, strengthen the majesty, grandeur and vastness of rocks like iron.
The benevolent Leshan, the wise happy water. Mr. Zhuang Lijing is burly, honest and frank, kind and wise, and warm to others, which makes people feel that he grew up in Jiangnan like a northerner. The so-called picturesque can be said to correspond to him. Reading his paintings, such as the Xiling Gorge, the deep and interesting picture of the crane, makes people feel that they have absorbed more master Qian Songyan's pen and ink. The rocks, pines and cypresses they made are all outlined with trembling pens, rarely rubbed, and the pen marks are dignified and powerful. The peaks behind the rock are painted with a wave of dark ink, while the bluestones in front of the rock are splashed with green, changing the accumulated ink into accumulated color with strong color. The whole picture is dense, with distinct shades, black and white, and the contrast between cold and warm is strong and changeable, with both traditional pen and ink skills and modern artistic atmosphere. However, his "Sunset in Autumn Mountain" and "On Fuchun River" absorbed the artistic accomplishment of master Li Keran more, combined with the common backlight effect in western painting methods, and formed the light and shade blocks of trees with ink dots, which highlighted the idea that all the trees were dyed, while temples, maple bridges and boats were drawn with lines, with lines, surfaces and light and shadow, which were harmonious and rich in contrast. Snowfall Map in Zhongshan and Scenery Map of Shujiang River are mostly written in the style of Fu Baoshi's landscape. Suddenly, "bouldering" appears in the mountains, splashing ink, and thick clouds appear, directly expressing wonders. Its painting road is very broad. The clouds are light and the wind is light, the trees are old and shady, the bridges are secluded, the trees are fishing in the river village, the plank roads are winding, the pavilions are towering, the Gargoyle is flying, the mountains and mountains are forested, and Jinling is beautiful ... All these are reflected in his works. With his unique spiritual temperament and unique feelings, he pursued the thick beauty of Danqing art, inherited and developed the use of various painting languages such as splashing ink and accumulating color to construct landscape paintings. Over the years, many landscape works have been exhibited in Beijing, and solo exhibitions have been held in the United States, Canada, Japan, Singapore, China, Macau and Taiwan Province.
The article is eternal, and the gains and losses are well known. Mr. Zhuang Lijing is determined to study and teach, and has written painting theories such as Yungui Painting, Introduction to Landscape Painting, and Research on Landscape Painting. Among them, "Introduction to Self-study of Chinese Painting-Landscape Painting" was published by Jiangsu Fine Arts Publishing House and awarded by the Provincial General Administration of Publishing and the State General Administration of Publishing. The newly written book "Research on Landscape Painting Techniques" was published by Jiangsu Publishing House.
There is no end to art and no end to exploration. Mr. Zhuang Lijing knows very well that as a painter, his works should not only stand the test of contemporary times, but also stand the test of history. To this end, he is indifferent to life, frivolous fame and fortune, and takes his own path in artistic exploration and practice.
Over the years, many of his landscape works have been exhibited in Beijing, and he has also been invited to hold solo exhibitions in the United States, Canada, Japan, Singapore, China, Macau and Taiwan Province. In May last year, Xinhua Painting and Calligraphy Institute of Xinhua News Agency held the "Jinling Resort-Zhuang Lijing Landscape Painting Exhibition" for him. Mu Qing, former president of Xinhua News Agency, cut the ribbon for the exhibition. Relevant leaders, professors and painters from Central Academy of Fine Arts, Central Academy of Arts and Crafts, Chinese Painting Research Institute, Beijing Painting Academy and Li Keran Art Foundation were present to congratulate. His exhibition was reported by dozens of news media in Kyoto, including Xinhua News Agency, People's Daily (Overseas Edition), China Youth Daily, and China Culture Newspaper. This spring, he held a landscape painting exhibition in the Central Painting Academy on the second floor of Nanjing Central Shopping Mall, which once again attracted people's attention. On the day of the launch, some people in Jinling collection circle bought four masterpieces at one time.
