Social assessment
Sunshine on the Plateau —— Wang Shengli's Oil Painting Art (Author: Zhao Nong)
The plateau is the most magnificent scenery on earth. Therefore, people who have lived in the plateau for a long time are also the most simple and determined people. From the Loess Plateau to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, there are attractive scenery and simple life everywhere, full of gorgeous colors and vigorous strength.
Professor Wang Shengli, president of Xi Academy of Fine Arts and painter, has been paying attention to people living on the plateau for many years, capturing brilliant sunshine and touching smiles with brushes, forming a distinctive artistic style. This bright color, precise modeling and rich feelings also come from the artist's years of artistic accumulation and his unique understanding of life and art. Today, Wang Shengli has shown his clear and steady steps in the exploration of oil painting language. On the basis of classical realistic painting, he constantly integrated his own understanding of real life, so these works are kind and gorgeous, peaceful and elegant.
The western plateau of China is a magical and ancient land. Wang Shengli, who has lived in the northwest for a long time, is full of love for this yellow land. From the historical and cultural relics of Zhou, Qin, Han and Tang Dynasties to the splendid folk art of Xinghe, from the artistic achievements of Chang 'an Painting School to the artistic exploration of Loess Painting School, the brilliance of western culture and art constantly infects and inspires Wang Shengli. Therefore, when people living on the plateau are carefully depicted by Wang Shengli, they will emit flashing lights, which will arouse the audience's dreams and linger.
During the development of modern oil painting in China, many sages and predecessors made unremitting efforts and explorations, looked around and tried different schools and theories, among which realism was a positive and effective supplement to China traditional culture. The technical form of realism requires careful analysis and research on the color, structure and techniques of oil painting. Therefore, as a painter, we should be tolerant of loneliness, calm and tenacious, constantly explore and pursue the publicity of life consciousness.
Wang Shengli followed the famous painter Mr. Jin Shangyi when he was young. During his study in the Central Academy of Fine Arts, he forged deep friendship with many old painters such as Jin Shangyi and Lin Gang. At the same time, it also consolidated the artistic position of Wang Shengli's realism. Later, after Wang Shengli was admitted as a graduate student of Mr. Chen Beixin of Xi Academy of Fine Arts, he was diligent in exploration and self-motivation, read a lot of art books and went to various places to sketch many times. In the spring tide of China's art opening and collision in the1980s, when many painters turned to pursue modernism, Wang Shengli made clear and adjusted his artistic direction through independent artistic thinking. Therefore, 1985 oil painting "Military Academy Rookie" was selected as the "International Youth Art Exhibition" and won the third prize. 1989 The graduation work Treasure won the Bronze Award in the 7th National Art Exhibition, which won the first national art exhibition oil painting award for Shaanxi, and also proved to the world the standard of an oil painter with artistic potential. The following year, Gem represented China in the French Autumn Salon, which caused a sensation. Lei, then secretary-general of China Artists Association, concluded that Treasure is an oil painting with national characteristics, which is deeply loved by foreign audiences, and many people have offered to buy it. 1990 Italian art magazine published articles by Ms. Fran and Ms. Laura, introducing China's contemporary oil paintings, Wang Shengli's Treasure and the works of several other young painters, which had a good response in Italy and aroused strong interest and praise from artists and the public.
Mr. Jin Shangyi is a giant of contemporary China oil painting, and Mr. Chen Beixin's freehand brushwork oil painting has a wide influence. For Wang Shengli, receiving their strict education when he was young was really a beneficial life opportunity. Therefore, in Wang Shengli's mind, he has always maintained the pursuit of personal national cultural awareness, and with the deepening of artistic practice, he has constantly tried oil painting language with China national characteristics.
This heartfelt cultural complex made Wang Shengli once look at the lives of people living in the northwest plateau, as if he had found the artistic language he had longed for for for a long time, and his enthusiasm for artistic creation was like a blowout.
During the period of 1996, his carefully created Yellow River Ballad won wide acclaim when he participated in the centennial exhibition of China oil painting portraits. Shang Yang, vice chairman of China Oil Painting Society and a famous oil painter, wrote in Wang Shengli and His: This is a work that left a deep impression on me. I feel familiar with the old man in northern Shaanxi painted by Wang Shengli. The long years have shaped some characteristics of people in northern Shaanxi, and also shaped the unique personality of the old man in the painting. I seem to be able to name the old man. From Ballads of the Yellow River, we can see that Wang Shengli's understanding of farmers in northern Shaanxi and his proper grasp of their characters, his oil painting skills are just right, his pictures are unpretentious, implicit and meaningful, and his realistic style combining agility and clumsiness can make people feel the artistic charm more than those works with gorgeous styles.
From 65438 to 0999, the representative work "Red Date" won the bronze award in the 9th National Art Exhibition again, and participated in the art exhibitions held by China Artists Association in Japan and Hong Kong. Jujube has become one of the most representative works of Wang Shengli. It was introduced by many newspapers and albums and printed as a single work, which won him a wide social reputation. The country girl in Jujube is quiet and simple, with a youthful face and a bright hope for life. The harvest of jujube is also the sweetness of life. The style of the picture is noble, subtle and bright, gentle and elegant, and there is also the aesthetic feeling of "clear water produces hibiscus, naturally carved" (Li Bai's poem).
In the third China oil painting exhibition in 2003, he served as a judge of the Art Committee. As a judge's work, Sunshine in June was widely praised and sought after by many collectors. At the 10th National Art Exhibition in 2004, Wang Shengli became one of the 22 judges. His latest work, Autumn Day, was exhibited as a judge's work, showing the sunny new look of Wang Shengli's works, which indicates that he will enter a golden age of creation.
Recently, Ballad of the Yellow River, as Wang Shengli's masterpiece, once again participated in two exhibitions, namely "20th Century China Oil Painting Exhibition" and "Up and Down the River-Retrospect Exhibition of China Oil Painting in the New Period". One exhibition is the centennial retrospective exhibition of China oil painting, which shows the centennial development of China oil painting and the representative works of important painters. One is the contemporary characteristics of China's oil paintings and the classic representative works that have produced social impact in the past 30 years since the reform and opening up. Participating in these exhibitions, which are of great significance in the history of China oil painting development, has made Wang Shengli have his own position in contemporary China oil painting.
Therefore, when the Yellow River Ballad (1996), Jujube (1999), Northern Tibet Camel Team (1999), June Sunshine (200 1), Qiuyang (.
Contemporary oil painting is an art full of tension and passion, and there is no room for ambiguity and ambiguity. Wang Shengli's paintings don't take too much dramatic literary narration, but pay attention to the technical language of the picture itself, and use a natural and casual vision to get instant but profound psychological feelings. Therefore, the brushwork is mellow and peaceful, and the composition is relaxed and leisurely. Therefore, Wang Shengli is different from ordinary painters of his time. He always depicts the optimistic and positive attitude of people living in ordinary society. The picture has no usual heavy feeling, but a familiar life. Painters like to depict people in the sun, bright and bright spaces, clear and pure smiles, gorgeous and harmonious scenery, and the pictures are always full of youthful vigor. Wang Shengli depicts people he is familiar with in detail, showing his artistic accumulation for many years from meticulous brushwork, which may be related to the painter's early military life experience, but it should be a clear attitude towards life.
Wang Shengli's painting language, from the standpoint of realism, absorbed some impressionist techniques, and even intentionally incorporated China's freehand brushwork language into some pictures, such as Grassland Festival (1999), Walking through Northern Tibet (2000), Sankoh Zhuo Ma (2002) and Blessing (2002). On the other hand, the artist's artistic passion can be vented, which increases the artistic depth of the picture and strengthens the true meaning of oil painting color.
Therefore, the exploration of Wang Shengli's oil painting language attaches great importance to the characterization of characters, carefully grasps the expression techniques of characters, and often starts with the shapes of characters, and reasonably uses light, color and composition to form a rigorous and unique painting language, so that the characters can live in a real environment and inject the artistic concept of "writing the spirit with shapes", so that the screen language and characters can be reasonably unified, showing the luxurious and bright spirit of the characters, which has a strong artistic appeal. On the basis of sketching color, this paper expands the artistic appeal of oil painting and conveys the mental outlook of characters reasonably through the accurate expression of internal artistic image.
Wang Shengli is constantly looking for moving pictures, so the personnel scenery on the plateau, whether it is pastoral memories or a glimpse of a long journey, enters his painting language bit by bit, and he also calmly grasps the expressions and even the inner world of the characters, forming an elegant and energetic artistic style. Therefore, the plateau people in the picture have a strong heart under the calm and silent surface; The beauty of mountain village girls is a simple quality of life.
The expression of local feelings also made Wang Shengli actively seek the harmony between man and nature. In the vast plateau, people's lifestyle is positive and optimistic, even clear and transparent. This kind of village, unaffected by modern civilization, is not a yearning for and return to the world. Therefore, whether it is old trees, earth walls, stone mills or fences on the Loess Plateau; Or yaks, snow-capped mountains, tents and temples on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The living environment of these local characters not only constitutes the authenticity and richness of the picture language, but also injects the painter's profound personal feelings.
In recent years, he named his painting language "Women in Northern Shaanxi" series, depicting the scenes of rural girls living and working in red flowered shirts, reflecting simple language, turning kindness into beauty, making characters full and vivid, and reflecting the moving scenery of real life. Therefore, the appearance of these oil paintings, such as White Rabbit (2003), Golden Corn (2003), October (2004), Jujube Flower (2005) and Breeze (2005), indicates that Wang Shengli's exploration has gradually matured, while Wang Shengli has shown lightness.
This kind of contemporary oil painting, which contains characters in life scenes without losing local characteristics, has attracted the attention of art circles and collectors once it came out. It has achieved great success in the auction activities of China Guardian, Huachen, Poly and other art companies, and also confirmed Wang Shengli's personal existence position in the art market, creating a huge appreciation space for the art market. This is also a sign that Wang Shengli's oil paintings have attracted more media and people's attention. Wang Shengli's success is also an example of China oil painters moving from the classic ivory tower of the Academy to the economic market. In the process of understanding and upgrading themselves from the art market and forming a virtuous circle of diversified artistic concepts, they abandoned narrow and closed concepts and improved their cultural self-confidence in the comparative study of national art and world culture.
In recent years, Wang Shengli has had the opportunity to visit Europe and America many times. During his extensive visits to museums, art galleries and galleries, he actively absorbed rich artistic nutrition, which enabled Wang Shengli to keep abreast of the development of international painting. However, Wang Shengli still insists on his belief, "Don't be sad for yourself, don't be happy for things" (in Fan Zhongyan's words). He is optimistic about the progress and development of China's oil painting, actively explores his oil painting language, stabilizes his artistic path, and constantly shows his excellent works to the world in order to get more attention and love from people.
