Wu Xuebin in the painting
Lu net June 16th (reporter Liu Meiting) recently, Guangxi enjoys a reputation at home and abroad of Zhuang painters and painting circles, Huang Dufeng Wu Xuebin, a close disciple, held more than 100 paintings with his latest paintings in Ji'nan. What is the special significance of the works reflecting the southern Xinjiang customs in Qilu land? What are the achievements and bottlenecks in the painting world today? How do we view hundreds of millions of paintings that are "sky high" in the near future? With these questions, Lu net reporter interviewed the "literary painter".
Shandong for the garrison exhibition to promote the blend of the north and the south culture and art
this painting exhibition with Wu Xuebin "unique, unique, unique, solo, one step painting" (art historian Chen Chuanxi comment) of the fairy fish for flower and bird painting, exhibition of the recent creation of more than 70 fairy fish works. The landscape painting depicts the "border situation" of Chongzuo in the southern Xinjiang. China's nine famous customs, the largest transnational waterfall Detian Waterfall in Asia, the world's eight big tower Chongzuo tower, the world rock paintings representing Huashan rock paintings, the southern Xinjiang small city, and so on, are all displayed in the painting exhibition.
"I chose the more satisfactory works in the past few years, including the tropical fish that is accepted in the ordinary days, and the paintings that embody the border customs. Because Guangxi has a large area of land and a border with foreign countries, the painter has a certain platform and influence, and can use the contribution and sacrifice of the people over there to express and publicize the customs. "." Wu Xuebin said, in addition to this, a Chinese scenery photography exhibition was also on display, "photographers can reflect the local customs more truly through photography, such a new attempt has made a good result."
Wu Xuebin told reporters that the reason why Shandong chose to be the residence of the exhibition is all from the extensive and profound culture of Qilu culture. "There is no doubt that Shandong is the hometown of Kong Meng. Its cultural background and historical depth are among the best in the country, and it is not the first province of the country." In the south, the natural scenery and national customs are rich and rich, so Wu Xuebin suggested that the southern painters should go to the north to feel the culture of the Central Plains, and the northern painters can go to the south to write and collect the wind, and make a good blend of the north and the South culture and art in order to better promote and propagate their hometown.
"literary painter" painting has the requirements: the need to reflect the literary meaning and spirit of the
Wu Xuebin from the famous Chinese painter, the representative of the representative of the south of the Five Ridges painting Huang Dufeng, but his earliest contact with the painting is from the family, "to be exact, my enlightenment teacher is the father, he is a very excellent calligrapher. I am 4 or 5 years old. After school every day, I will spend 1 hours to come to the famous painting, laying the foundation for today. Wu Xuebin told reporters that the original painting did not feel happy, often see the friends play outside, is very admired, but now it is very grateful for that "bitter days". "Then I ushered in the empty window period. For various reasons, I haven't made a painting for 16 years, and the college entrance examination didn't dare to test Academy of Fine Arts, and finally learned literature. One time, I became an assistant to Mr. Huang Du Feng. Later, the teacher saw several paintings on the wall in my dormitory, and I became his last pupil.
at the beginning, Wu Xuebin mainly painted water powder, oil painting and other Western paintings, followed by Huang Du Feng, then changed into Chinese painting with flowers and birds and mountains and rivers, and now he is keen on the landscape painting in Western China. "Speaking of painting style, I used to use literary thinking to do Chinese painting. Every time I draw a picture, I should think about it. What kind of literary image thinking, literary story, humanistic spirit and what kind of connotation should be shown." Wu Xuebin said.
has to say that the literati painting similar to Wu Xuebin's painting style has been a representative figure in history: Su Shi. As a unique cultural form of Chinese culture, its emergence and development have profound internal reasons, and the standard and advocacy of historical literati is one of the important links. Some people call Wu Xuebin a "literary painter". So what does this have to do with the so-called literati painting? "Although there are similar but different, I think the literati painters and literary painters are not exactly the same. The literati painters are relaxed and unrestrained and express a kind of complex with the unique literature. The literary painter is not only to express the" literary popularity ", but also to express the literary connotation, the story and the moral, and to embody a situation more. The world. " Wu Xuebin analyzed it.
art needs publicity to go to the world to sell hundreds of millions of paintings. Most of the paintings are hype
in 2012, Wu Xuebin went to the Le Louvre Museum in France to take part in the art exhibition and won the gold medal and the national culture communication award. During these days, attending the exhibition is a process of study and investigation. Wu Xuebin has a lot of feelings about it. He said that when he was trained in the past, he always loved to tell the spirit of Chinese painting. After coming back from France, he liked to say the comparison between Chinese and Western painting circles. "Like some museums and galleries in China, you may not take 20 pictures to visit because the master works of high level will not be exhibited easily, even on display." People take pictures, so many masters do not see or know what we are painting, and those high-end works even though I am still very mysterious in painting circles. But there is not so many restrictions on the works of the French masters, Wu Xuebin said, and it can be shown and remembered. This is why the people of Monalisa and sunflower are known all over the world, but they can not think of what is the most famous, "I always think that art needs to be propagandize." To go to the world. "
Wu Xuebin said that now is a rather impetuous and impulsive painting period, the rich can buy paintings, and calligraphers can achieve good economic value. "As in the past, we would not consider how much money we could earn or whether we could sell it. Now it is the first estimate of the size of a square foot painting." Wu Xuebin said, "most of the paintings that sell over 100 million are hype, and the paintings of famous artists sell millions or tens of millions of dollars. We must be calm, able to resist loneliness and resist temptation so as to produce excellent works.
Picasso and Qi Baishi have not grown up in their lifetime. The painting is creative
education is the whole process of training the new generation to engage in social life. It is also the key link in the inheritance and development of human social production experience. However, training for art students is not an easy task. "Teachers in some places would suggest that students with low cultural achievements apply for art schools, which is totally wrong. Art is a subject that requires the students' cultural base, IQ and imagination, and only a high quality student may become a real painter in the future. We can easily see that there are thousands of art students entering the University, but there are few accomplishments in the future. Wu Xuebin told reporters.
an outstanding educator in China has said that as long as I have enough money and conditions, I can guarantee 50-100 world - class scientists, but I can't guarantee a world - class artist. "I think it makes sense that artists need creativity and uniqueness, which is more difficult, to develop from the talent and creativity, like many foreigners do not teach you how to paint, what you want to vent," Wu Xuebin said, and now he often studies like a child, but rarely does. The master study, because the child creativity is strong, not imprisoned, "why Picasso, Qi Baishi has been to the old creativity is still constantly, because they have never grown up, not to follow the program painting, art is always like a child, with childishness creativity, but the work is very wonderful."
to this, Wu Xuebin suggested those "little painters" with artistic ideals. "The basic skills of painting in the university are very good. After entering the University, we should focus mainly on the creation and draw what they want to express, not to imitate them blindly, to give full play to their own literary thinking and philosophical bottom." Imagination and creativity.
