Recently, China Post Express the Year of the Loong Zodiac stamps were gradually opened for sale to the public, but many netizens joked that the tiger on the stamps was "slightly worried", with a frown and a sick face, and was not as dignified as the tiger on the mountain. "The tiger in the first picture looks sad and miserable; In the second picture, the tigress is not satisfied with her two cubs. The big tiger has no tiger power, and the little dragon does not move. " Some netizens even doubt the artist's level.
The creator, Mr. Feng Dazhong, said in an interview with the news media that the original 1 tiger was removed from the second stamp, which made the composition look fuller, and the animal features in the painting were enhanced and personified.
To this end, Red Star TV reporter interviewed a number of artists in the industry. Some artists have analyzed that the tiger in the painting is indeed a little cowardly and does not reflect the wildness of the forest overlord. Some artists also said that the creator, Mr. Feng Dazhong, had more than 20 years' experience in tiger painting, and deliberately weakened the color difference of the interface. The tiger power he painted is brave and gentle, and the tiger is happy, sad and missing.
According to public information, Feng Dazhong began to like drawing tigers since he was a teenager. At that time, because there were few publications, he often went to the zoo by car. During this period, he also escaped from prison several times. National first-class artist, authoritative expert of government special allowance of the State Council, student of Liaoning Old Artists Association.
According to the published information, Feng Dazhong was born in 1949, and his hometown is Benxi, Liaoning Province. He began to like drawing tigers since he was a teenager. At that time, because there were few publications, he often visited the zoo by car, and there were several times during his escape.
The owner of Feng Dazhong Khufu Cottage has a serious and elegant style. Tiger painting enhances the stereotype of typology, endows the tiger with cultural charm and creates its own artistic symbols, which is called "the first tiger in the world". At the same time, the materials show that Feng Dazhong is the director of the Office of Chinese Painting Art Committee of China Artists Association, the deputy secretary of Liaoning Artists Association, a national first-class artist, an authoritative expert enjoying special government allowance from the State Council, and a student of Liaoning Old Artists Association.
Feng Dazhong said in an interview with the news media that the first stamp was designed to hold the tiger's head high, but the tiger's head on the stamp was too small, which lowered the viewing angle. At first, the distance between the two tigers in the second stamp was relatively close. It seems that the structure of the stamp is unbalanced, and there are many blanks on both sides, which correspondingly widens the distance.
"Animals also have emotions, so to draw a tiger, it is necessary to decipher these login codes, improve its animal characteristics, make it anthropomorphic and solve it, and strive to convey a spiritual essence." Feng Dazhong said that his tiger paintings usually use anthropomorphic artistic language and focus on depicting the mental outlook of tigers, which coincides with the tiger's cultural background, and is also the similarity between ordinary landscape Chinese painting and this set of stamp design schemes.
It is mentioned that the tiger brand image in stamps is different from that in ordinary landscape Chinese paintings. Feng Dazhong said that due to the small size of stamps, it is impossible to outline background photos such as forests and rocks like large-scale landscape Chinese paintings, but to eliminate the environment as much as possible, get rid of complexity, and make the interface concise and highlight key points. In the second stamp, Feng Dazhong drew three little tigers at first, and then removed 1 from the back, pulling the remaining two little tigers down a little. In this way, the composition looks fuller, and the interface actors and vacancies are more comfortable and suitable.
China Philatelic Stamps Co., Ltd., as the issuer, introduced in detail in the official website that the special stamp of "The Year of Renyin" issued on June 5, 65438 is the seventh set of the fourth round of China Zodiac stamps. The brand image of the tiger is considered to be "real", which shows the nature of the tiger and subtly interprets its artistic beauty. Stamps continue the design concept of the fourth round of animal stamps and explain the definitions of "country" and "home".
The publisher said that the first picture was named "National Games Chimelong", which outlined the brand image of a magnificent mountain tiger, standing tall and ambitious, and conveyed the meaning of China's prosperity and ambition; The second painting, entitled "Lucky Tiger Clouds", depicts a warm scene of a gentle-looking tiger mother with two little dragons, which means that her children and grandchildren are prosperous and her family is happy.
According to an apprentice of a national artist, the tiger on the stamp interface is not energetic enough, and its boldness of vision is a bit weak, which does not reflect the king's demeanor. "Whether it is human or other animals, the eyes can immediately show the essence. The tiger in the picture is really worrying."
Mr. Fang Lao, an artist of a provincial and ministerial arts and crafts association, thinks that the tiger in the stamp does not reflect the characteristics of the tiger: the first tiger has the wrong structure, short legs, long body feeling and thick tail. "This tiger is as embarrassed as the cat at home, and its courage seems to be small, unlike the forest overlord that everyone is proud of."
"In the second picture, the tiger with two cubs, the tigress curled up there, with a sad face and tears streaming down her face, as if waiting for someone to give something." Ms. Fang said that this painting does not reflect the nature of the tiger, and its human bones are loose and the patterns are not so specified.
But there are also powerful artists to support the creators. Lv Jun, meticulous painter, distinguished member of Sichuan Fine Arts Association. He told Bian Xiao that the creator, Mr. Feng Dazhong, has more than 20 years of working experience in painting tigers and has been exploring ways to draw tigers. Most of the tigers he painted are loyal, brave and docile, and tigers also have colorful emotions such as happiness, sadness and missing. "He is more looking forward to showing something other than tiger ferocity. I think this is also his initial intention to design this set of stamps. "
Lv Jun felt that in terms of technology, Mr. Feng Dazhong deliberately weakened the color difference of the interface. "The interface pays attention to the sense of scale of the object according to the hot and cold color and the level of light ink. It can be said that this is also an attempt by artists to realize the harmony and unity of methods.
