From cinnabar's landscape paintings, we can clearly see the impressionist color skills. In "Hu Yangshu Series Oil Paintings", we can easily find its rich and heavy color composition. From a distance, we only think that autumn is the most abundant and full color in nature. If you look carefully, you will find that there are many different levels of colors in the picture, such as dark tree trunks, shallow leaves irradiated by sunlight, leaves in backlight, shadows of trees, and the mixture of different color layers makes the details very attractive, more vivid and full of vitality. In Flowers of Hulunbeier, he expressed the vitality of grassland with gorgeous colors, which left a deep impression on the audience, and many people praised its colors.
"Beauty is everywhere, everywhere." Cinnabar likes scenery. Whether it is the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in China or the Alps in Europe, his fascination with scenery has never been concealed. In his hurried journey, he tried his best to appreciate the surrounding scenery and constantly look for moving pictures. In his later creation, both the pastoral memories and a glimpse of the long journey entered his painting language bit by bit, forming a vibrant artistic style. The biggest feature of oil painting is that it can sublimate the colors in nature through the painter's eyes and show them on canvas. In cinnabar landscape oil paintings, bright and bright space, beautiful and harmonious scenery and colorful texture effects are always filled with youthful vigor and full artistic tension. Li Yan, a painter, said: "The painter must have his own attitude, which means sincerity, simplicity, cherishing wisdom and a deeper understanding of human nature, because the painter is actually painting himself in the end. Sometimes I feel that a lonely tree in the wilderness is myself, or our persistence. When a person is lonely, he is not only painting a tree, but also painting himself. "
Zhusha likes to draw trees and mountains. He said: "I paint mountains, and I want to paint the indomitable spirit of mountains." I draw trees, and I want to draw the vigorous life of trees; I painted the river, and I want to paint the unremitting pursuit of the river. In his works, we can clearly feel the emotions represented by those brushstrokes, whether it is towering peaks, majestic deserts, immortal Populus euphratica, or flowers and plants on the Yuan Ye, they are all simple and fresh nature and vivid praise for life.
"The scenery is ruthless and there is no scenery." Through the tenacious life of the tree under the snowy mountain, the tree in the snow expresses a person's unremitting pursuit of ideals in the cruel reality. "Village under Taihang Mountain" sings a sad song of homesickness through the dilapidated village, and the work shows a strong desire for change and whipping the reality; Hulunbeier Flowers expresses a spiritual outlook of pursuing ideals and flaunting vitality through gorgeous colors. Autumn on the Plateau shows the interpretation and taste of life through the calmness of distant mountains, the dignified enthusiasm of yellow leaves and the catharsis of streams. Zhu Sha likes reading since she was a child. When she was in elementary school, she mastered most of the traditional Chinese characters and began to read the traditional vertical literary works directly. It was when reading these ancient books that the illustrations in the books and the seal script on them aroused his curiosity and gradually got to know the seal script. It was this opportunity that laid the foundation for his calligraphy and seal cutting. At that time, he made his own seal cutting knife and found things of different materials to seal. At the same time, I practice regular script and cursive script in my spare time. Between strokes, the charm of traditional culture has been achieved.
Cinnabar fell in love with painting because the album, oil painting, watercolor and Chinese painting he bought from Xinhua Bookstore as a teenager brought him new shock and happiness. After reading these albums, he went to Xinhua Bookstore, bought watercolor paints, paper and watercolor pens, and started a new attempt. This hobby has never given up since then.
Zhusha attaches great importance to the improvement of comprehensive cultural and artistic literacy. He likes literature, music and calligraphy, and projects his spiritual and emotional world into painting. Wu Guanzhong once said: "Art is true temperament. Technology is just a means, and it is easier to learn technology. At present, the requirements of cultural courses in art colleges are low, and the low level of education determines that universities can only train craftsmen, but not artists. The cultural level of most artists in the art world is not high, and their feelings and realm can't go up. Emotion is the result of many years of personality and many reasons. This is the most important thing. " Painter Zhang said: "Artists should know about sister arts such as poetry, drama and dance. Only by understanding this can they have a wider choice on the road of creation. " In this way, Zhu Shacai kept trying in different artistic fields while painting. Over the years, he has created a large number of novels, poems and essays, which have been published in professional literary journals at home and abroad, such as Shandong Literature, Shanxi Literature, Green Wind Poetry and Vientiane Poetry. His poem Mianshan won the third prize of China writers' essay writing, his short story Dog Drunk won the Yellow River Elephant Cup National Micro-literature Competition, and his reportage Sweeping the Wasteland won the second prize of Financial Times' essay writing. At the same time, he also published his own novels and poems. Many people will remember cinnabar's poem:
"Sacrifice is often a helpless choice, and glory is often a late passer-by."
"The sound of sweat approaching the soil is the sound of crops jointing."
"It is not because we succumb to darkness that we are silent for a long time in the dark."
It is these poems that have touched many friends who usually don't pay attention to poetry. A friend got Zhu Sha's poetry collection and found that Van Gogh's famous painting "Cafe at Night" appeared on the cover design, only to understand the author's love for painting. Cinnabar is good at learning from different artists in order to constantly improve herself. That year, in Paris, he saw local artists painting with pens and watercolors, which aroused great interest. He spent an hour watching the old artist paint, while his colleagues were wandering around, thus learning new skills. In recent years, cinnabar has been pursued in Beijing 798 painter village and Shenzhen Dafen oil painting village. "Learn from others and enrich yourself."
Cinnabar is very hardworking. Sometimes when he goes out on business, he will bring painting tools. Watercolor paintings like Shallow Pond were created when I was on a business trip. Cinnabar is lazy. Sometimes he can't draw a few pictures a year. Every time he can't draw, he takes the time to study art theory. At this time, he especially agrees with the words of oil painter Li Yan: "The more he paints, the more he feels that painting is too difficult, too deep and too mysterious ... The pain of the painter is that it is especially difficult to say what he wants to say, and there are still many regrets for painting well."
Artistic creation has no real end, only a new starting point. Cinnabar is good at making different attempts. In the past, he used different pigments, such as watercolor, gouache and oil painting, and occasionally tried to paint with graphic flat plates. However, he doesn't want to lower his painting skills because he uses painting software and relies on computers to cause "lazy painters". American artist Charles Pyle said, "If you draw badly and think hard, your artistic career will be short and unhappy."
Whenever faced with a little success, new challenges will follow one after another and never end. As a landscape painter, cinnabar always "sees things but doesn't see people" in his paintings, and basically no characters appear, which seriously limits his creative space and expressive force. Cinnabar said: "I will continue to break through and explore in the future practice. Only by constantly denying yourself can we constantly improve ourselves. " (Source: People's Daily Online)
