In
this colorful world, after the baptism of time, is there anyone else who can
create a brilliant life in a honest and simple way?
Chen
Chunsheng, that's the person. He was born in Heilongjiang of China in 1960, and
the icy and snow capital did not perish his enthusiasm in the pursuit of art.
He joined the army at the age of 18, and went into business in 1992, and the
experience of 30 years of commercial war made him a hard nut to crack. Even so,
he never stopped painting in those decades. The course of his life has made him
develop a solid and tough personality. Time of time, change of impermanence,
which made him more firm in his pursuit of artthe part of persistence that is
hidden in the bottom of the heart is burning again.
The
footprints of art in every corner of his life, in his childhood, he painted the
house of clay of the field, depicted the iron bone army style in the army,
traveled many times in Europe and the United States when he engaged in trade,
and visited the master Freud, throughout the year he went through the museums
in Paris, St Petersburg, Madrid and other places, learning and observing
between thousands of paintings of great masters. With his limited time and
painting expenditure, he spares no spare effort to use the best pigments, the
best resources, insists on painting every day, and seeking the best way of art.
The beauty of the years lies in its inevitable passage, and he uses his own way
- painting to retain the best part of his heart.
The
pleasure of painting is not only pleasing to the eyes, but also the pleasure of
discovering after the discovery and exploration, and every new discovery makes
him as excited as the child found a treasure - his love for painting has
surpassed the length of life, the breadth of the mind, and the depth of the
soul.
The
affection of the misty rain, there are both graceful and tranquil beauty. It
shows the unique charm of the north, so that I forget my worries and forget my
thoughts. The smoke and rain in the painting is charming, but behind the rain
curtain is not half sentimental, it turned out that Chen expresses mother. Here
witnessed his growth, including his past, nurturing him and educating him. The
plains and wetlands of the painting mingled with each other, just like his
connection with the land, he seemed to be far away from hometown, but his heart
was still in his homeland. Here, he feels the calm of the family, the
gentleness of his mother, and she is the northeast.
His
love for his hometown is not only here. Autumn sun is drawn at the end of
Heilongjiang. Just a casual glance, the collision of blue and yellow blocks
attracted his eyeballs and provoked his expressive desire for natural gestures
and colors. Chen added the bright contrast color in the simplest S composition,
and showed the pleasant autumn wind and bright sky with bright brushstrokes.
This reminds me of Voltaire's poem: "Don't try so hard the best thing
scome." (don't worry, the best things come when you least expect them to.)
Auspicious
after autumn harvest, in the morning show the most incisive. The light of the
dawn reduces the tone of the color, which shows the quiet land after the
harvest. The shuttle of sheep, the path between fields, and the parallel
composition of separated images are all intended to show a easy and peaceful
atmosphere.
This
"arrogant pine" shows the Chinese pine is growing in the hundred
years history of the Beiling Prtk. The brushwork of artist is powerful and
vigorous, which will stack the high level green layer in summer, and properly
control the rhythm of the picture. With the extension of the branches, the
change of the strokes of scattered green grass, playing the unique fate
symphony of the pine tree, and telling the beautiful beginning and the hope for
the future.
Although
Chen's "sunflower" is located in the corner of the rural courtyard,
he using brush to be positive, simple and vivid. At thirty-six degrees above
zero, sweat and oil painting blend in the canvas. The sunflower growing in the
Northeast represents a great difference in the situation of life, but in the
end, they all have to pursue the sun, as the different individuals in the color
never deviate from the simple color complex.
In
the "battle of the magnificent day", the sun was thrilling like
thunder and lightning at eight a.m., penetrating thick clouds and sprinkled on
the Vigra Wharf of Spain. Chen showed the heaviness of the sky and the feeling
of sunlight breaking through the clouds with the usual strokes, depicting the
magnificent scenery.
Human
body painting has always been a compulsory subject in the world's major schools
of fine arts, so that the artist can understand the beauty of the human body
through anatomical descriptions of human skeletal muscles. In the process of
painting, Chen found that the meaning of human painting is not only this: in
many kinds of painting categories, we have met all kinds of problems of
painting, and through the process of human body sketching, we can find the answer
to the problem.
He
traveled across countries, traveled through Africa, Asia, Europe, and all over
the America, through a large number of character sketches, he explore his
unique style of painting, the characters of different races are very vivid in
his painting. He can keenly control the appearance and inner world of the
characters, and express them on the screen through the bridge of art. You can't
see any pretentious feeling of form in his work, but you are full of random
intelligence.
Rich
life experience made him aware of the Belt and Road Initiative brought
auspicious gas, bring it into the painting, drawing a blend of eastern and
western art and culture with his own brush, to create true color road.
Chen
said that color is "the control of the color, the capture of feeling, the
imbedding of seemingly nonexistent". This is the painting principle he
explored from thousands of practices. He proposed that "art should be bold
and dare to change and challenge, but this does not represent a irrational
collision, but not only to peel off the original, but also to summarize, in
order to make the artistic content and technology content reasonably
accommodated in a painting, comprehensive play, the two must be indispensable.
For
sketching, he chose to avoid stylization in plaster portrait teaching, instead
of pursuing the inspiration of sketching, and dissolved the essence of it into
oil painting creation. He thinks that "practice sketching is the process
of serving oil painting, and use the generalize of the line to understand the
volume of shape. Do not deliberately pursue the face in painting, but feel the
characteristics of the object and the feelings of the painter.
Chen
has never shown a large and unsuitable theme in oil painting creation, but a
moment of passion and beauty in life. Whether its a depiction of magnificent
view, or outline the deep mountain cypress's vigorous, all pursuit of a sudden
intertwined with the soul of nature. He said, "art does not come from
profession but from life itself. It was born in the game, grew up in interest,
finally blended in the blood, and returned to life.
Chen's
paintings showed his attitude towards life, he expressed the beauty of nature
with his unique painting language. He sticks to the belief of his life, and
walks step by step, so that he does not fear the baptism of the years and the
grinding of the violent days. He is a quiet, peaceful and a craftsman who dares
to seek time. He uses his soul to exchange with the earth and rivers and lakes.
Looking back at the past, the day is difficult to have two morning, time to
give him honor, he also gave back to youth, but in the end, people still have
to be loyal to their own heart, do their favorite things, thanks to the beauty
of life!
