Breaking tradition
CHINESE artist Ding Sizhong's watercolour and ink paintings are far removed from traditional Chinese painting,though its influence is clear.
in fact,Chinese people recognise Western elements in his work,while Westerners discern something Chinese.
One of his admirers Dr Yang Chongguang,said:"It seems Oriental art and Western art are analogous in their simplicity.
Sizhong's waterscapes and landscapes are painted in an abstract style,loose washes of colour make up these surfaces on Chinese rice paper.
They are incredibly peaceful,they relate to Sizhong's meditative relationship with nature.
In the Lotus Series,sweeping blues and greens part to reveal the barest glimpse of a lotus flower,in the way ice on a lake cracks to reveal the water beneath or clouds part to reveal shafts of light.
The pictures are about light as much as anything else and as the light peers through the colours that overlay each other,a luminous quality pervades the landscape.
In others,lines like twigs reach across the paper and a pattern is formed between line and colour as the two merge together.
The art of watercolour painting and what it can create is as prominent here as the natural subjects the painting are inspired by.
With their enchanting atmosphere,these images seem as though they should be the backdrop to mythological stories.
Indeed,some of them were painted in the village where the beginning sequence of Crouching Tiger ,Hidden Draggon,was filmed,Huiszhou,where Sizhong travels once a year to paint.
In these paintings,the doors of white houses are behind streaks of black paint in what appears to be a dark night.
Sizhong sketches outside then returns to his studio to paint his final vision .Though modern in the free handling of paint.there is definitely something timeless about Sizhong's work,perhaps because of his subject matter.
In the only oil painting in the exhibition.the Jiuhuashan mountains,which Buddhists climb to workship at the peak,are evoked in exuberant.bright colour.Sizhong himself is not Buddhists but is fascinated by the belief.It seems appropriate for Sizhong's to exhibit in Britain.
As Dr Yang Chongguang says:His early paintings display laborious explorations,changes and evolvements-and also his experimental endeavours in techniques and styles. I some of his water and sea pieces ,it is quickly seen he has grasped the artistry of the two British watercolourist masters, Constable and Turner.
Born in Suzhou,Anhui in 1963,Sizhong graduated from Anui Art School.He has since had exhibitions in China,Bulgaria,America and Singapore.He says when he goes back to China he will paint scenes
inspired by Brighton. |
