I don't know if Dacheng Zhou thought of this loving mother when he accepted the second national seal cutting award awarded by Mr. Sha Menghai. I only know that he always engraves a seal on his mother's birthday to express his feelings for the Son of Man.
Who doesn't have the "impulse" to be an artist once or twice in his life? Only Dacheng turned "impulse" into obsession and infatuation with seal cutting.
Ten years ago, after graduating from Dacheng high school, he joined the famous seal engraver Mr. Cheng Bogong. He can't put down a copy of Shuo Wen Jie Zi. Wu Changshuo's Shi Guwen has become his daily class. Dacheng read Chang Shuo's sad poem "Living in a pen and ink stone, being poor for a long time", but still devoted himself to seal cutting. With a blunt knife and a few stubborn stones, I started a hard life of chiseling stones.
Later, he became a mechanic in a paper mill. I always rush to a simple bookcase when I go home with a tired oil stain. "convergence"! "focus"! An "idea": seal cutting!
Looking at Dacheng's sleepless lights like beans, grandma cried with distress. Yes, as the eldest grandson of the Zhou family, he was called "Dacheng" when he was a baby. I hope he can "grow up" and "survive", but who would have thought that he would disregard his health for lettering and writing?
His relatives' advice made him grateful; The misunderstanding of some people around us is even more stressful; The hardest hit was June 65438+10/October 654381989-I received the notice that the calligraphy and seal cutting major of Zhejiang Academy of Fine Arts (now China Academy of Art) failed to be admitted (1987 has been admitted by the college).
Many years later, Dacheng told me about this past, but smiled: "At that time, I decided not to gamble." I regard the' charming' art of seal cutting as my lifelong pursuit. "
Dacheng has sunk. Like a beginner, he plunged into the dignified and elegant Chinese seal, which made him take a solid step.
Dacheng knew that Bi Qigong contributed to the "Hanyin War" and was only a "slave". If you want to see the school, you must go up and down and explore the Expo. He opened his Yin Gao, and the parties "respected each other like guests" adopted the method of sealing mud, which was quite boundless; The seal of "Left and Right Helpers", which expresses the deep friendship of the neighborhood, has the beauty of the ancient seal of "every day, horses and chariots die"; Tao's painting language "can't be effectively cultivated" is simple and direct in casting and carving in China. Even the official seal and overlapping seal of the Tang Dynasty, which were despised by Indians, made great efforts in Chengdu. For genre printing, although he was fascinated by Wu Changshuo's "domineering" style, Zhao's elegance and Wu Xizai's straightness also left clues in his Yin Gao. Dacheng is very happy to have your son this autumn. He often coaxes his children while reading Huang Shiling's Prints. ...
For the sake of art, he scrimped and saved and asked for advice everywhere. His sincerity and curiosity moved contemporary famous artists Han Tianheng, Liu Jiang and Chen Zhenlian. Mr. Han Tianheng cultivated this artistic seedling which grew on the barren land in northern Jiangsu.
Sharpen a sword every ten years. Dacheng finally made his debut in seal cutting. His footprints have appeared in many exhibitions and competitions. Han Tianheng called his seal cutting "small freehand brushwork". "Freehand brushwork" is not arbitrary. Mr. Han wrote: "The management of printing is equivalent to the management of words, which is uneven and uneven. Therefore, this is a theory of every word to promote the attitude of the exhibition and make the whole printing static and dynamic, full of vitality ... see the essence in freehand brushwork. Valuable. "
Facing the flowers and applause, Dacheng Zhou was as calm as ever. He extended the tentacles of art to a wider world. Such as literature and Chinese painting. ...
"My name is elegant and vulgar, and the painter wants to meet each other less; Tianxin does not know that people suffer, and there is great success in loneliness. " (Poem by the famous painter Wang Xuezhong) May Dacheng Zhou, who is "lonely and strange", finally achieve "great success"!
