Reading Du Zhongliang's landscape paintings vividly

Rao HongYu

Towering mountains, rolling mountains, vast clouds, magnificent... This is the mountain described by Du Zhongliang. His mountain is magnificent, vivid and full of a strong vitality and charisma. He is a person who talks with the mountain with his heart; He is a person who inspires life with his soul.

To appreciate Du Zhongliang's landscape paintings, first of all, it is shocking, and then it is shocking. I have rarely been so moved by a landscape painting. Reading Du Zhongliang's new landscape painting today, I am shocked. We seem to hear the sea of clouds roaring, waterfalls splashing, life shouting, mountain soul calling. This is that Du Zhongliang's cultivation between landscape and nature has reached a higher level.

In these two works, you can see that he has completely broken the previous straight and thick, square and strict mountain creation techniques, and his brushwork is bold, varied, informal, and natural. He uses more techniques such as dry brushwork chapping, erasing, dots, and dyeing to express, and uses the pen Yin, Yang, stuttering, frustration, turning, and lightness to be just right. He uses the method of ink splashing to break the light, light, thick, and halo to make the ink pided into five colors, Make the massiness and layering of the mountain stronger. Scattered perspective and false and real treatment are just right. In his works, you can see not only the traces of traditional painting, but also the innovation of modern painting. It is a breakthrough in the painter's art, and the painter's love for mountains and passionate emotional expression. In his works, you can see the spirit of Taoism, and feel the painter's aura and special feelings for landscape.

His landscape works are vivid and vivid in form. The charm of his landscape is mainly reflected in Qi and rhyme. The Qi of his landscape is the Qi of aura, and it is also the Qi of air. When it is white, it is black. The clouds and mists of the atmosphere give his mountain more Aura. The transparent air increases the depth of the picture, and the artistic conception is far-reaching, which is thought-provoking. His landscape gas is also the gas of atmosphere, the gas of momentum. This gas is a kind of flying field, and this gas field is also the Taoist field. It can run through the mountains and forests, penetrate people's souls, and intimidate the four directions.

The charm of his landscape is mainly reflected in its unique aesthetic charm. When you appreciate his landscape, you seem to be enjoying a beautiful and moving symphony. The shocking drum of the Yellow River rings through the sky, the elegant Guqin sound is refreshing, the melodious song has a long history, and the symphony of mountain soul and soul is earth moving, shocking and long-lasting aftertaste.

This unique charm and artistic language expression let history remember him. He is a person who has spent his whole life guarding the mountain and describing the mountain. The mountain is his soul and his life; A person who entrusts his soul to the mountain, a person who eulogizes the mountain with his life: he understands the language of the mountain, and the mountain also gives him pine inspiration. Therefore, mountains are no longer mountains of nature, and people are no longer natural people. Instead, people and mountains reach the selfless realm of imitating nature and integrating heaven and man.

The spirit of self abandonment and selflessness is the highest level of self-cultivation of artists, which is the inevitable spirit and artistic belonging of Du Zhongliang. As a researcher of Chinese painting and the president of the Confucius Institute of Chinese painting, his works and landscape painting research and innovation will surely lead Chinese landscape painting into a new artistic milestone.
