Chen Xinya's creative notes

I write with so-called "form" rather than a little anti-"form". This is because what I have read and thought makes me feel that I must return my pen and ink history to the book of peace of mind, just like the ancients in China, to experience the taste of writing without burden. So many times, my writing is just close to "copying books", and even many times, I will deliberately arrange myself: Today, you'd better copy books, don't create anything ... As a result of copying for several years, I feel that the text of words is more concise and natural, the pen and ink are spicy and round, and my pen is full of "growth", and my life from January to January is gradually becoming more and more ideal. If you reflect, it is not difficult to find that once you engage in art, once you have more skills, you will lose them. The so-called "clumsiness", is this what I found?

I saw an art exhibition the day before yesterday, and the works in those museums were empty and grotesque. It is said that it is the result of the artist's "cutting into the present". From the layman's point of view, artists are either bored-they can't find beautiful objects around them to paint, or they go with the flow-they follow the world fashion, care about major events such as politics and philosophy, and finally make art close to the shallowness of political cartoons and the hysteria of slogans-I think, if art doesn't care about the beauty of pictures and images, as one of the special types of culture, how much is the existence of art necessary? Similarly, if calligraphy cannot easily reveal the traces of life in the "functional writing" of words, even if you impact your eyesight, it is only an act. I also want to continue my photocopying career. -Chen Xinya
