Young painter jia rongqiang
the growth of jia rongqiang is a special case in the contemporary chinese landscape painting circle. He was born in the northeast. Black land endowed him with an optimistic and humorous character, which was longer than taian. Taidai landscape nourished his magnificent temperament. His works can be roughly divided into two systems, one is the early taishan
as the theme of landscape painting creation, the second is the new attempt with the urban forest as the matrix in recent years.
Out of the unique understanding of nature, culture and contemporary aesthetics, coupled with the influence of family studies, jia rongqiang established the style of ink and wash landscape painting very early. He injected the scenery in his works into the connotation of culture, the recombination of lines and surfaces, whether it is ink, blank or composition design, has a higher taste style. In his paintings, mountains and rivers all reflect nature. With the help of deep understanding of natural scenery, the scenery in his works becomes fascinating and forms a unique aesthetic feeling that is extraordinary and refined. In the dense arrangement, the rhythm in the picture is presented, which makes the overall style of the picture more compact and flexible.
In addition, it gradually transforms from the visualized landscape to the abstract meaning, making use of the thick and light ink, the alternation of dry and wet, and the arrangement in the hierarchical layout to highlight the changes, making the picture more vivid. The picture created is no longer an ordinary image, but a new spiritual realm beyond the common scenery.
In 2018, a batch of works of jia rongqiang with the theme of city forest were born, which made people who paid attention to him shine at the moment.
City is the place where every modern person lives, and it is also a gathering place of civilization. It is adjacent to the red wine and green, compatible with the traffic, and associated with rows and rows. In a sense, it can be a poem, a wall, a former residence or a symbol.
In his works, he endowed the city with unique connotation and incomparable charm. Jia rongqiang, who grew up in northeast china from an early age, has both natural optimism and unique thinking about history and city. The connotation of the city is enthusiasm, prosperity, and the silence of the night after the hustle and bustle of the day is gone.
In the series of city mountains and forests, jia rongqiang expresses the charm of the city in his mind and narrates the story of the city with the unique perspective and unique entry point of a bystander. In the picture, the daily streets, the crowds, the rows of buildings and the traffic like running water recombine the structure to create a new kind of interest, and also contain the warmth and tolerance of the city. In the fusion of light and line, light is a straight light, and line is a rolling and jumping line like a note. However, the outline and amorous feelings of the city outlined by lines and light are somewhat ridiculed and graceful, describing the prosperity and moving of the current city.
Throughout his creation process, it is a process of constantly condensing, practicing, feeling and exploring meaningful lines of chinese painting. On the basis of strengthening the sense of picture form and language narration, he made pen and ink look for changing with each passing day in the development of the new era with the times. In the current rapid development, show people's love for life.
Reading his works, we can find that the works not only contain elements of western modern art, but also show the extensive and profound cultural framework and potential vitality of chinese civilization. On this basis, the use of personalized formal pen and ink language shows a rich cultural heritage and natural artistic style.
Today, history puts every one of us at the crossroad of tradition and modernity. Behind us is the rich nourishment of traditional culture, and in front of us is the torrent of the times flowing on our faces. Where should we go? Maybe jia rongqiang had his choice in his works.
