有思想才有创意:画评,云惟俐博士


有思想才有创意

艺术需要创意,更需要思想。作家的思想见于文章,画家的思想见于画作。有思想才有创意,有创意才成为艺术。没有创意者,成不了艺术家,只能是个工匠。

云龙子师承天乙居士,自幼传习风水,亦长于画事,兼擅西洋画与水墨画,亦擅书法。虽以风水为事业,而画事不辍。遂以自己的思想开出一条画艺的新路,形成新流派,是为风水画。

风水是什么?于个人求健康快乐,于家居求平安吉祥,于事业求好运亨通。云龙子的风水画即意在改善风水。

其风水画的风格有其特别之处。其风格之一为厚实稳重,类于油画。发展事业亦须厚实稳重,方能稳固。其风格之二为华美艳丽,此亦事业成就之象。

其风水画的取材亦有其特别之处。古人画作,牡丹富贵,松鹤延年。牡丹与鹤,亦为风水画材,即取其吉祥之意。孔雀为鸟类中之凤凰,不只艳丽,而且吉祥。一般画作甚少见孔雀,却是风水画的主要题材。孔雀开屏之艳丽,犹如事业之极致。

其风水画的技法亦有其特别之处。其技法之一为善用视觉暂留之光。天上雨滴,本是点点落下,因视觉暂留现象而成一条线。为筑造此种效果,风水画中用纯金箔制作。在关灯之后,黑暗之中,仍有余光,如满天星光。此亦为事业光芒之象也。

风格、画材、技法,融合为一体,渲染出欢庆的气氛,身心愉快,家居平安,事业亦亨通。此即风水画的妙用。

Creativity Arises from Thinking

Art requires creativity but it requires thinking more. A writer’s thoughts are reflected in his article, and an artist’s thoughts are seen in his paintings. Thinking brings creativity and creativity gives rise to art. Without creativity, one remains a craftsman and not an artist.

Exposed to the intricacies of Feng Shui at a young age, Master Yun Long Zi is the successor to Master Tian Yi Ju Shi 天乙居士. Besides Feng Shui, Master Yun is also good at calligraphy and the art of painting, well-versed in both Western painting and ink painting. Being a Feng Shui practitioner did not stop Master Yun from painting, his style and thinking are so prominent that it forms a new school of art: Feng Shui painting.

What is Feng Shui? For oneself, he seeks health and happiness. For his family, he seeks peace and harmony. For his career, he seeks prosperity and progression. And Master Yun’s Feng Shui paintings work to improve Feng Shui. 

Master Yun’s Feng Shui paintings have a distinctive style. First, it shares the style of oil painting: solid and firm. In our career, we seek a firm foundation to achieve solid growth. Second, it’s elegant and gorgeous, symbolising a successful career. 

These Feng Shui paintings employ exceptional imageries. Traditionally, peonies and cranes represent prosperity and longevity, respectively. They also appear in Feng Shui paintings as auspicious symbols. As the phoenixes of birds, peacocks are representations of beauty and fortune. Rarely do we see peacocks in paintings, but they are an essential theme of Feng Shui art. The beauty of the flaunting peacock represents your flourishing career. 

The techniques of Feng Shui paintings are also extraordinary. First, it makes good use of visual light. Raindrops drip individually from above, but due to the phenomenon of visual retention, it forms a line, creating an effect of falling rain. For this to take place, the painting is embellished with gold foil. When the lights fade out, the gold foil lights up in darkness, like a sky full of stars, epitomising a bright career. 

The synthesis of the style, imageries and techniques, renders an atmosphere of celebration, bringing the individual health and happiness, giving the family peace and harmony, and making your career, a successful one. Such is the effect of Feng Shui paintings.
