- Remembering Guo Hang, a famous Chinese fountain pen landscape painter
As is well known, pen and ink painting is a category of Western painting that has been introduced to China for a hundred years. In the 1970s, the most commonly seen pen and ink paintings were comic strips, book illustrations, and other very small in size. Pen and ink drawing is mainly composed of complex, delicate, and varied lines, with lines forming surfaces and surfaces forming bodies. Because the strokes of a fountain pen are very small, they pay attention to changes in lines and color differences, and require extremely high styling ability and superhuman patience.
In recent years, constantly seeing Mr. Guo Hang's pen and ink landscape paintings in the media has given us a new understanding of pen and ink painting, and even more so, a new understanding of him.
Guo Hang,ZhejiangA native of Hangzhou, also known as Jiangnan Qiaofu, is a renowned contemporary Chinese fountain pen landscape painter, national first-class artist, international professional portrait photographer, and professor of social psychology.
He is currently the president of Jiangnan Hanlin Academy of Poetry, Calligraphy and Painting, the deputy curator of the art exhibition hall of China Top 100 Culture Network, and the deputy chairman of the Artists Committee of China Poetry, Calligraphy and Painters Network. He has successively joined the China Association of Fine Arts Masters, Zhejiang Journalism and Photography Society, China Portrait Photography Society, China Photography Association, China Entrepreneur Photography Association, Hangzhou Ancient Capital Culture Research Association, China International Calligraphers and Painters Association, China Calligraphers and Artists Association, China Hard Pen Calligraphers Association, China Calligraphy and Painting Art Development Research Association, and China Journalism, Calligraphy and Painting Art Academy.
Looking at the Chinese fountain pen landscape paintings created by Teacher Guo Hang, there are not only exquisite and elegant sketches, but also some exquisite and unparalleled long scrolls and huge works, some of which are several meters short and dozens of meters long. Mr. Guo Hang's fountain pen landscape paintings have the characteristics of steady lines, delicate depiction, wide range of themes, and rigorous composition, melting and permeating the charm and rhythm of Chinese landscape painting.
Under his pen, various landscapes of mountains and rivers are beautiful, elegant, and captivating; It has the characteristics of grandeur, depth, magnificence, and splendor, with a deep and vibrant atmosphere. It not only has the charm of traditional landscape painting, but also reveals the breath of contemporary literati painting. The fountain pen lines in its landscape paintings resemble various traditional Chinese painting techniques, such as mountain peaks, forests, and sea of clouds. With lines as the surface and black and white ink strokes, we are amazed at how rich the meaning of this simple black and white world can be.
A landscape painting must have emotions with the landscape, not just limited to the brush and ink. It is hard to imagine that nowadays, a person who has lived in a bustling city for a long time can depict landscape painting as extraordinary and extraordinary. Look at the shape of the mountain, listen to the sound of the water, breathe and exhale together, fully immerse your body and mind in the embrace of the mountains and waters.
The work 'Journey to Green Mountains' can be said to be the most representative work of Teacher Guo Hang. Landscape painting emphasizes not only beauty, but also artistic conception and connotation. This work has no extra color tones or excessive brushstrokes. With skilled brushwork techniques, the strokes are taken to form a majestic texture, and the form is used to express the spirit. The form and spirit are present, and the atmosphere is vivid.
Especially the depiction of the mountain is visually stunning, and the calm lake water at the foot of the mountain contrasts with the mountain. It further highlights the characteristics of the landscape. The entire painting is a show with a strong sense of three dimensionality, layering, and visual effects, and has a full humanistic color. The beauty of natural landscapes is fully displayed, and the appearance of scenic figures adds a humanistic atmosphere to the painting.
The ideological aspect of creation is more implicit and abstract in its expression techniques, and the work's intention is more profound and objective. The integration of nature and its expressed thoughts and emotions forms an artistic realm, which deeply and authentically expresses the characteristics and beauty of nature in various aspects, and thus obtains great aesthetic enjoyment.
Mr. Guo Hang devoted tremendous effort and energy to creating these exquisite and unparalleled paintings. Watching his creations, he is completely different from usual. In his creations, he is focused, meticulous, and meticulous. For a mountain peak, he has to draw many strokes horizontally and vertically, and for a piece of work, it takes tens of thousands of strokes to complete. The time it takes to create each piece ranges from a few days to several months, day and night. I don't know how many pens he has used. Looking at the thick and hard calluses between his thumbs, respect arises naturally;
A fresh and elegant atmosphere fills the painting, giving people a unique visual beauty. In the middle of the picture, there are mountains and hills, lush green trees, and abundant grass. Houses are faintly visible among the mountains, and thousands of towering walls stand in the distance. The scene is grand, the scenery is dense, the atmosphere is varied, and brilliant.
You can see the spirituality of mountains and waters flowing out from the brush and ink. Simple brushstrokes, lines, or compositions have extraordinary spirit and reach the extreme, internalizing the heart and aspirations of the mountains and valleys, and depicting the magnificent and majestic landscape. It is indescribable! Guo Hang's love for mountains and waters is sincere and profound, because this love has naturally been engraved in his bones. Therefore, through the touch of brush and ink, he can appreciate the different scenery of mountains and waters, which is a delightful and pleasant feeling, a warm feeling that is pleasing to the eye and expressing emotions, and an explosion of vitality.
Guo Hang, with his persistent artistic spirit, distinctive creative themes, unique line charm, and black-and-white visual impact, has presented Chinese fountain pen painting in a completely new form, opening up new artistic spaces for the development of Chinese fountain pen painting.
For many years, Guo Hang has been walking on this seemingly dull, tedious, and arduous path of art. For decades, he has been tirelessly exploring the field of pen and ink painting, integrating and innovating the artistic conception of Chinese painting with the sketch perspective theory of Western painting. He has broken through the traditional appearance of steel strokes in illustrations, comics, sketches, and other forms, making pen and ink painting a qualitative leap in creation. He has boldly entered the realm of pure art, enriching and innovating the techniques and aesthetic connotations of traditional strokes, opening up new paths for the innovation of pen and ink painting, promoting its development, and laying the foundation for the localization of pen and ink painting in China.
Ten years of sharpening a sword, where there is effort, there will be harvest. Guo Hang harvested abundant artistic achievements in his sixties, and his works have become increasingly broad and profound, as well as vast and far-reaching; In the contemporary cultural context, Guo Hang assesses the situation and positions himself soberly. On the basis of inheritance, he tends to innovate more, making his art a rare enrichment in the accumulation and development.
For Guo Hang's fountain pen landscape paintings, Mr. Xiao Feng, former president of the China Academy of Fine Arts, once gave him a "grand and powerful" evaluation: these four words constitute the most distinctive artistic style of Guo Hang's Chinese fountain pen landscape paintings.
The concepts of 'grandeur' and 'strength' reflect the natural beauty of simplicity without carving. Approaching nature, immersing oneself in nature, letting nature take its course, and then ascending to the realm of Dao like nature
Mr. Guo Hang's "grand" and "strong" painting styles come from both charm and variation. Landscape painting places great emphasis on elegance and charm. The charm in the painting is emitted by the artist's consciousness of life. If there is no awareness of life, then the landscape painted by the painter will have no charm. When observing a work, we should not only look at what the author drew or wrote on the screen, but also see the essence through the surface. A successful artwork often conveys information beyond the artwork to the viewer. So, good works are created jointly by the author and the viewer.
In addition to conveying charm, the eternal theme of a painter's creation is change - changes in artistic techniques, changes in brush and ink techniques, as well as changes in conception, arrangement, density, concentration, and intensity of dryness and wetness. But these changes are not deliberately seeking novelty, but the result of the painter's accumulation and development. Although painters are not thinkers, they cannot be painters without ideas; Although paintings are not literary works, they cannot be paintings lacking literary background. Every stroke in the painting is brewed with soul and heart.
Mr. Guo Hang's feelings are exceptionally profound. Chinese painting art has always focused on nature, depicting mountains and waters, creating images of natural mountains and rivers. Landscape paintings often contain multiple layers of meaning for painters to look at scenery, express themselves, and appreciate life.
Regardless of ancient or modern times, people agree on one truth, which is that nature and life are the source of art. In Mr. Guo Hang's eyes, "sketching is not about writing pure objects, nor is it about writing pure self. It is the artistic realm that is inspired by the fusion of things and oneself, where every stroke and every color touches the excited and active point; it is a process of fully unleashing the innate nature of life, driven by the beauty of nature.
Innovation is the mother of tradition. Without past innovation, there would be no tradition today. Tradition can not only be passed down, but also unified. Guo Hang's "grand" and "strong" painting styles can also come from tradition and innovation.
Painting creation is the externalization of human inner spirit and deep psychology, and is a means of disseminating the ideas of painters. Artists should use unique painting language to convey their insights into life and the universe. Innovation in landscape painting should adhere to the principles of being proficient in tradition and daring to innovate. Therefore, in Mr. Guo Hang's works, not only can we see the shadow of innovation, but we can also fully feel his profound traditional painting cultivation.
Guo Hang has devoted himself to the study of fountain pen landscape painting for over 40 years, creating a unique style of Chinese fountain pen landscape painting. He has created nearly 10000 works of various fountain pen landscape paintings, of which more than 500 have been published in over 180 newspapers and magazines across the country. His personal creative deeds have successively been published in People's Daily Overseas Edition, CCTV, Yangcheng Evening News, Xinmin Evening News, China Teachers' Daily, Zhejiang Daily, Zhejiang Economic News, Zhejiang Television, Zhejiang Education Daily, Hangzhou Daily, Metropolis Express, Daily Business Daily, Hangzhou Television, China Calligraphy and Painting Network, China Calligraphy Network, China Celebrity List Encyclopedia, China Calligraphy and Painting Celebrities Network, China News Training Network, China Powerful Calligraphy and Painting Network, China International Calligraphy and Painting Association Network, China Popular Calligraphy and Painting Network, China Calligraphy Platform, China Book Network, New China People's Art Network, People's Artists Network Jinghua Painting and Calligraphy Club, Painting and Calligraphy HeadlinesShanghaiMore than 280 national media outlets, including the Municipal Hard Pen Calligraphers Association Network, Contemporary Artists Network, Contemporary Calligraphers Network, Baidu Wenku, Baidu Baike Network, Painting Encyclopedia Network, Sina Network, Mobile Sohu Network, Calligraphy and Painting Interaction, Calligraphy and Painting Headlines Network, Calligraphy and Painting News, Tencent Network, Zhejiang Online Zhejiang News Network, 360 Baike, Calligraphers and Painters Baike Network, NetEase Subscription, Hangzhou Network, and Hangzhou 19th Floor Network, have reported on itTeach you how to draw landscape paintings with fountain pensA book, published in May 2012ShanghaiPublished by People's Fine Arts Publishing House.
