Why is Huang Qifang a contemporary "God" painter?

Huang Qifang, male, born in 1947, Han nationality, ancestral home in Jieyang, Guangdong Province, owner of Zuimoge, whose real name is Zihao, a Shanghai painter. I studied painting since I was a child and graduated from Shanghai Oriental Art School. He is a disciple of painter Lin Yi, and studied under famous artists such as Liu Haisu, Wang Lanruo and Liu Changchao. Deeply influenced by the pen and ink of Wu Changshuo, Qi Baishi and Badashan people, he studied hard and focused on the traditional pen and ink of China, with a deep foundation. Most of his paintings are ink paintings, and his style is known for simplicity, firmness, boldness and atmosphere. He has a deep foundation and is good at shrimp, landscape, plum blossom, bamboo chrysanthemum and pond fish. In particular, its ink shrimp is full of interest, which is deeply treasured by collectors at home and abroad and won numerous awards in large-scale art exhibitions at home and abroad.

As an art researcher and critic, facing such a successful master of painting and calligraphy as Huang Qifang, what theory is used to explain his painting, and from what angle to discuss the important position of his painting and calligraphy art in the history of contemporary painting in China. We must first put ourselves in the cultural background of the painter and his paintings and explore the formation of his artistic concept and style.

First, the current situation of contemporary painting caused by Huang Qifang's painting and calligraphy art.

Mr. Huang Qifang is like a hero fighting in troubled times. He quietly established an extremely important position in the history of contemporary painting in China, just like a sudden attack on contemporary painting in China, which caught people off guard. Why a surprise attack? Where should I start? First of all, I have to talk about the current situation of contemporary painting in China.

Contemporary painting circles in China are like a "battlefield in troubled times", and "chaos" is a "hidden rule" of chaos, which once buried many unsung heroes. Battlefield is a title competition evolved from the academic competition of many painting and calligraphy artists. How many leaders of official art institutions and authoritative organizations exist in name only? How many painters spend their lives at their desks? Be unknown after death! It is the tragic situation of China's contemporary painting!

At the end of the 20th century, faced with such a chaotic painting situation. Huang Qifang firmly believes that only paintings that can stand the test of time can have vitality. With both fame and fortune, he chose to live in seclusion and study calligraphy and painting skills hard in his spare time. In a blink of an eye, Huang Qifang, who is over half a century old, finally attracted a sensation and eager attention with several art exhibitions in his later years.

Many so-called masters, founders, first-class painters and senior experts who appeared on the same stage with Huang Qifang and exchanged painting and calligraphy skills were ashamed. The focus of many important media has also begun to shift to Huang Qifang. In the past, those "talkers" who shouted the slogan of "combining Chinese and Western" and held high the banner of "artistic innovation" became low-key and silent in front of Huang Qifang and his paintings and calligraphy works, and dared not pretend to be "masters" or "experts" easily.

Huang Qifang, a China traditional pen and ink painter who has been silent for more than 50 years, has undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to the "talkers" in contemporary China painting circles! It can be seen that on the road of painting art, it is the last word to talk less nonsense and paint more.

According to Huang Qifang's apprentice, many art institutions have come to us one after another, or asked Huang Qifang to be the dean and chairman, or wanted to ask Huang Qifang to be a consultant and judge, but they all refused.

If the contemporary painting circles in China are compared to "the battlefield in troubled times", then the most frightening thing for opponents is to be raided! You can imagine the sense of shame when the "generals" riding on a big horse were pulled down by the heroes who died halfway, because the big horse riding on the legs of the "generals" was actually their "identity" and "title".

What does this mean? It shows that it is not identity and title that make a "hero in troubled times", nor that you can become a historical hero in painting by fiddling with pen and ink or shouting a few slogans, and then riding a "marooned horse".

In fact, it is the artist's "kung fu" and "strength" that really create a "hero".

As far as Chinese painting is concerned, what is a painter's "kung fu"? It is the basis of pen and ink, the accumulation of theory, cultural accomplishment and artistic attainments. What is the "strength" of a painter? It is a work that appeals to both refined and popular tastes, and it is an artistic vitality that has been tested and widely recognized over the years.

At present, the appreciation groups of calligraphy and painting in China are scholars, researchers, collectors and critics. The beauty, ugliness and value of calligraphy and painting works are no longer examined and measured by the identity and title of the painter. Why? Because the public was fooled by the "identity" and "title" of painters and painters, they gradually became smarter, and their appreciation level and aesthetic level gradually improved.

In the history of modern painting in China, a number of painters and calligraphers have emerged, such as Qi Baishi, Zhang Daqian, Xu Beihong, Fu Baoshi, Huang, Li Keran, Pan Tianshou, Xie, Liu Haisu, Lin Fengmian, Gao, Huang Zhou, Zhang Daqian, Xu Beihong, and He. These masters not only devoted their lives to promoting the development of China's calligraphy and painting, but also painted the history of modern painting in China.

With the death of the older generation of masters of painting and calligraphy and the passage of time, many professional scholars, researchers, collectors and critics have turned their attention to the contemporary painting circles in China. So what are the pen and ink skills and artistic attainments that can be called "masters" in China's contemporary painting circles, which convince all circles?

Talking about such a sensitive topic makes academic researchers feel very sad!

In recent decades, Chinese painting masters and masters have been continuously introduced in China painting circle. Nine times out of ten, it has been questioned and criticized by all walks of life, and the clamor has intensified. These so-called masters and everyone. Not a first-class painter or expert; Being the chairman and director of an association; Or the president or member of an art academy; Then there is a senior professor, tutor and so on. , can be described as diverse. But there are very few intriguing paintings and calligraphy works. When these so-called masters and everyone appeared, the first thing that attracted the public was not their paintings and calligraphy, but a lot of identities and titles. It seems that whoever has more titles is a master or everyone. It is undoubtedly a funny joke to use identity and title as a yardstick to measure the master or owner of calligraphy and painting.

However, it is such a joke that has fooled many incompetent collectors into paying for it. It is such a joke that has become the goal of some young painters to work hard and struggle all their lives. This is undoubtedly a kind of "abnormal and morbid" in contemporary painting circles in China.
