Comment on Zhang Wen
Quanzhou, known as the "seaside Zou Lu", has produced a large number of talents in calligraphy and painting seal cutting in recent years. When I returned to Yuexia this year, I visited my colleagues in the fields of calligraphy, painting and seal cutting. I was deeply gratified and envious of their achievements in recent years, especially the performance of the younger generation since the beginning of the year. On the basis of inheriting traditional techniques, they boldly opened up their own creative path, made unremitting and persistent exploration and achieved gratifying results.
Chen Keke, a young seal engraver, is one of them. When he was a middle school student, his paintings were already famous. His traditional Chinese paintings have participated in many provincial and municipal exhibitions and were selected for Japanese exhibitions. Later, he went to Guangdong to study, and studied in Guangzhou Arts and Crafts School and Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts. Under the careful instruction of calligraphers Zeng Jingchong, Lin Ruofu, painters Liu and Ye, his calligraphy and epigraphy works are improving day by day. Later, he studied in the Fine Arts Department of Fujian Normal University, the Fine Arts Department of National Huaqiao University, and the watercolor painter You Zunshao's studio, so he has expertise in Chinese painting, western painting, arts and crafts design, calligraphy and seal cutting. In recent years, he is more addicted to the research and exploration of seal cutting. He pondered day and night, eagerly copied the ancient seals of Qin and Han dynasties, as well as the famous seals of Ming and Qing dynasties and modern times, and wrote thousands of works. Therefore, he has a solid basic skills in seal cutting and is skilled in knife cutting. He has no sectarian views, and his works are elegant or quaint. And unique charm. Cocoa seal cutting is especially good at shaping images in small shapes-rich, simple, exquisite, dexterous and elegant, all of which are wonderful, lifelike and both in form and spirit. Strive to integrate calligraphy, painting and seal cutting into one inch. His paintings and calligraphy works have won many awards in national exhibition competitions, and his paintings and biographies have been included in the Grand View of China's Indian altar, An Overview of China's Famous Painters' Signature Zhong Yin Art, A Grand View of Cross-century Famous Painters' Painting and Calligraphy, Contemporary Watercolor Gouache Art, Contemporary Painting and Calligraphy Photography Ceremony, Who's Who in Contemporary Art, China Chen Painting and Calligraphy Art Expo, and People's Artists and the World.
Chen Keke once founded the Erythrina Printing Society, and communicated with his counterparts in seal cutting all over the country. The printing and promotion of his "spray collection" have been well received by famous artists at home and abroad. At present, he is employed by overseas Chinese star calligraphy and seal cutting center, specializing in seal cutting and often managing printing for people at home and abroad. His seal has been widely circulated in Japan, Singapore, the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia and other Southeast Asian countries, as well as Taiwan Province Province, Hongkong and Macau, so his fame has spread far and wide.
Art is endless, and we expect Chen Keke to take it to the next level.

The collection of sea color in Cocoa Diary is thicker than wine and full of inflammation. Near Zhangshui Town, near Mumian Temple. Tree planters are as long as people, and watching clouds makes you laugh. You can spend another roll when you come to China. This poem was given to my father by Mr. Li Tuozhi, a professor of Chinese Department of Xiamen University. Maybe now, I am nearly forty years old, and I can understand my husband's poems a little. And Mr. Wang died on March 1983. After two strokes, my father can't remember the meeting with Mr. Li Tuozhi! But as can be seen from the poem, it is a deep emotion of "literati cherish each other". This poem also writes about scenery and feelings, as well as things and sighs in the heart, which makes people want to sigh after reading it! When my father was young, he loved painting and was very talented. Under the influence of Indonesian uncle (a famous oil painter), he studied painting and calligraphy with his uncle. He once held a double exhibition of brothers' paintings and calligraphy. He was called a "young painter" and changed to study literature because of the historical reason of "family composition". During his long-term education, he still loves art appreciation and criticism, and has participated in national exchange seminars with aesthetic papers. In my father's collection, I also saw the calligraphy and painting of literature and painters such as Mr. Feng Zikai, Mr. Wang Shuzi, Mr. Shen Jinshou, Mr. Shuoqing Li and Mr. Chen Dehong. There is no lack of encouragement and praise for his father. For example, Mr. Feng Zikai drew a cartoon of Brave Struggle and gave it to his father. In the picture, a young pioneer rides a fine horse on the grassland. This is Mr. Feng Zikai's encouragement to him. The early collection of calligraphy and painting often has a strong emotional color. Because they like and respect the talent and knowledge of this role, they use their works to motivate themselves to work hard on the road of life. Nowadays, collecting calligraphy and painting is something that rich people play with. There are often hundreds of thousands or even millions of calligraphy and paintings, but in my opinion, the emotion of such works is greatly weakened and the meaning of goods is greatly increased. After all, works of art with commodity meaning cannot be compared with works of art with emotional color! Although, I don't even have the money to frame those masterpieces that are targeted by moths. But this is the spiritual wealth left by my father, which makes me understand that only with sincerity and true feelings can I create and appreciate art, and the value of art is often related to emotion, whether it is creation or appreciation. This is my superficial understanding of the collection. (coco 2065438+00 14: 38 on April 23rd)
