Interpretation of Sun Yongkang's Landscape Paintings
The key to understanding Mr. Sun Yongkang's "pen and ink" and "landscape" lies in a spiritual promotion. For a long time, traditional painters are often Chen and Chen Xiangyin, which has become a profound source of criticism. In the development of China's "landscape" paintings in the 20th century, most radical and anti-traditional paintings entered the mainstream position, for example, from the May 4th period to the 1980s. Of course, in different periods, their performance situations, theoretical attributes and action slogans are also different. It is said that Chinese painting is unscientific, Chinese painting can't reflect reality, Chinese painting has no modernity, Chinese painting can't go to the world and so on. But with the deepening of our understanding of Mr. Sun Yongkang's paintings, people will realize how rude and ridiculous this one-sided negation is. If we are lucky enough to be accompanied by Mr. Sun Yongkang's painting and calligraphy thoughts and his practice of ink painting "landscape", its far-reaching significance is immeasurable in the sense of China's art development history. Traditional landscape painting is naturally based on Chinese studies, and the Confucian idea of "benevolent Leshan, wise men enjoy water" is one of them, and the Taoist unity of man and nature is also one of them. These ideas constitute the spiritual source of traditional landscape painting. It can be seen that Mr. Sun Yongkang's paintings not only satisfy the traditional concept, but also reflect the reflection on Chinese studies. As Master Huang said, "The urgent task today is not to say anything, but to really learn." "European style gradually spread to the east, and it is psychologically harmonious. Within twenty years, there is no difference between Chinese and western paintings, and their spirit is the same. " Now it seems that Mr. Sun Yongkang's paintings have the same judgment on the spirit of Chinese and Western paintings as Mr. Huang.
Today, we are faced with Mr. Sun Yongkang's landscape paintings. As long as you are impartial, you will feel encouraged to break through the tradition. This pursuit is actually what traditional people want. If you carefully look at Mr. Sun Yongkang's brushwork and techniques, he not only refines the tradition internally, but also pushes the tradition to the other extreme. It can be said that the landscape painting since the 20th century will be a pity if you don't see Mr. Sun's landscape and pen and ink, which may be the unique and natural significance of Mr. Sun Yongkang's "landscape". God in the clouds, fairy in the fog, god and fairy appear in pen and ink, and the feeling is as deep as a dream, and the feeling is as beautiful as a dream. May Mr. Sun Yongkang's brushwork and landscape singing be heard in the hearts of more literati and poets, and become another business card for the world to transmit China to each other.
