The winter solstice, “the three taste of ink” the second exhibition will be held in Xiamen City Art gallery. The six exhibition artists are the leaders of the young and middle-aged artists in the field of ink painting circles in China, and they are good at landscape, figure, flower and bird painting. The exhibition due to mutual invitations almost because like-minded, resembling the ancient literati gallery.
China traditional literati painters has always attached great importance to the performance of brush and ink, the brush and ink are not only a means of painting, its meaning is always with the user's interpretation of relevant and related background, and changes with the tools and materials; at the same time, brush and ink with rhythmic vitality together, Qing Dynasty Tang Dai in the painting "Tiny things in the painting” said: "the artistic conception is born of ink". Yun Nantian speaks bluntly:”artistic conception is hidden in the brush and ink, brush and ink into a style" ("Nantian painting postscript"). Because the ancient painters not blindly copy the natural objects, they are "brush and ink, for dense" (Shi Tao painting quotations), in their paintings, to achieve the universe and nature of the will of the people in all blend into one harmonious whole, the object subject position of paintings are instead of ink form, brush and ink like painting the soul and gain by contrast. In addition, the brush and ink has an independent dual value - the external application and internal academic. In the world of traditional literati painting, brush and ink are not antagonistic, but maintain a dynamic balance between subject freedom and formal self-discipline. In the blend of Chinese and western, ancient and modern era, people took a different perspective and point of view, and brush and ink move with the times, the double value will be divided into each acts in his own way, each one takes what he needs.
It is worth mentioning that the ancient ink painter emphasizes the ink nature and the artistic conception of the view to this is still widely accepted, sages advocated "nature outside” then “acquired in the heart", but the ancient painters rarely face well-known mountains and rivers and directly painting, in the performance of mind and nature with harmony. With the process of modern China improved painting, a large number of ink painters changed the mentoring tradition from college, Beichen, Duozi, Yonghai, Xianmin, Yafeng, Guangzhi, all received systematic modeling ability training, the way of painting to replace the stylized expression. Or their long-term roots in Fujian rural villages, observe the experience of life, with the hands of the pen records the people's lives or natural seasons; catching the ancient painting conception, using the form to express.
There is no doubt that their way of painting is different from the ancients, but the ultimate goal is the same. In other words, they are the same with the sages in search of a real sense of art, this is a kind of spiritual experience. After the emergence of the mind becomes a kind of need, the painters consciously pursue the perfect combination of technology and art. So they pay out of work hard, and as a practice. They are not only because of their own skills to practice, but the value of artistic experience and experience as an indispensable way. The artistic activity is still the artist's heart, the heart is the most mysterious part of human understanding, it is the difference between art and science, different from religion, different from the performance of ethics. The heart image is the heart of the movement, it is accomplished in the heart, but also send out in the heart. From this point of view, the heart is a kind of human nature into the painting of a kind of self-cultivation, it comes from the nature of the power, but also from the philosophy of thinking, but also from the artist's thinking and talent.
This exhibition called "three tastes of ink", it has not only express landscapes, figures, flowers and birds painting of different interest, also express brush and ink, nature and mental image and multilevel implication, also expressed heart like, but I pay more attention to the feelings of art are interrelated and similar to Zen and the human feelings.
