painting of Jiang Hua's paintings depicting the memory of the children's way of pleasure in childhood.
when people are accustomed to making fun of their children, this "May Day", the 7 day old man Jiang Hua light with a brush to bring us back to the old man's childhood.
at that time, games and play were children's own business. "Find your partner and find your own way to play, where you want your parents to arrange and take you," and to the 4 metre long scroll, the old days came slowly.
surprisingly, Jiang Huaguang, who is keen on old Chengdu picture books, is not a professional.
4 meter scroll
"restore" 52 old Chengdu games
this is a more than 4 meters long folk painting, like an old movie, the story is set up by one by one.
"this is a marbles, this is a hoop, this is hide and seek..." From left to right, Jiang Huaguang's narration follows the children in the picture. In a number of 4 meters, there are 215 children. Their costumes, bun and looks are different, and they are focused on different games.
"what is this?" Jumping house, picking up seeds, slingshots, six chess games and other games in memory of the only memory of the reporters after the number one, a few "siege" of the stones of the children have been muddled. "Hang egg," did not wait for Jiang Huaguang to open his mouth. His old friend pretended to explain, "when we were young, we loved to play. A person takes three pebbles as eggs in the nest, like a hen like half squatting, can not get up, others to grab eggs, protect the egg people can not stop using a single leg kicking to protect the egg and not to be robbed, the man who has been kicked is kicked and changed him to protect the egg. On the other hand, the old man, who was over 70 years old, squatted down and began to enjoy himself. It seemed as if he had returned to his childhood.
fine numbers, 215 children in the picture belong to 52 kinds of games that are not repeated.
pick up memory
infected old friends enthusiastically "pop"
painting, there are 35 piled up, there are flocking teams, there are two people to discuss, only see nothing alone. "When we were young, a game was gathered and won't be alone," Jiang Huaguang said. This painting, back to the old time, was taken from his childhood memories.
"some are what I often play, some I don't play, watching people play," Jiang Huaguang told reporters, to restore these 52 games, and the contributions of old friends. During his creation, he told his old friends who met in the park every day, every time they would attract a large number of people to "break the news".
in fact, the 52 games are not yet filled with memories of those generations. Jiang Huaguang said that even after the painting had been completed, friends still came to the door. "Unfortunately, the painting had been finished."
painting time
in that chasing and beating can be a day's time, leaving too many Jiang Huaguang and others the most beautiful scene of his life. So Jiang Huaguang raised his brush.
"restore things that have passed away, so that later people will know what the past is like." This is the original intention of Jiang Huaguang's painting, and it is also the belief that upholds today.
there is no Jiang Hua light of any class, drawing on his own start, taking all the people and things as the teaching material. "Walk on the road, stare at the front man walking, see how the legs of their pants fold," the old man said, he was often used as a model, "for example, I would huddle up the palm of my hand and let him in front of him." Look. "
in other people's eyes, the 75 year old man has a strange passion for drawing.
