画框内的绚丽,画框外的睿思:画评,陈丽湘博士


画框内的绚丽,画框外的睿思 

观赏云龙子大师的画作,有一种无法言传的愉悦。

初看以为这就是普普通通的中国画,因为使用的就是水墨、颜料,题材就是花鸟,再题上诗句就成了不折不扣的中国花鸟画了。其实不然,在云大师的细细解说下,发现这些画作中另有乾坤,耐人寻味。

画展的主题是“欢庆”,紧扣着云大师的“欢庆主义”而创作。何事值得如此欢庆?大师云:“健康、财富、和平、爱情……都是值得欢庆的。”抱着这么积极而正面的心态去作画,展现在画面上的便是充满了喜悦的色彩:富贵的牡丹、闲逸的仙鹤、绚丽的孔雀……画作色彩鲜艳耀眼,彻底摆脱了中国画以淡雅、以败花残荷示人的传统风格。一直以来,绘画给人的印象就是一门供人欣赏的艺术,注重的是技巧、用色、风格等,纯粹是一种美学欣赏。云大师的画作,却在艺术技巧之上,注入了鲜明欢愉的色彩,并题上了许多美好的祝福和欢快的歌词,给予观赏者激励和希望,给予人们无限的正能量。这应该是画坛上的一项创举,倾注了云大师对世人的深深关怀!

云大师画作的另一项创举,便是为画作贴上金、银、铜箔片,使得画作在白天与黑夜产生不同的观赏效果。这特殊的技巧,并不是纯粹为了炫耀画作的金钱价值,却是蕴含着另一层深深的关怀和勉励。通过荧光的照射,每一幅画作在深邃的夜空中,闪耀着点点光芒,那是激励人们,无论您的生命处于何等不堪的境况,眼前一片黑暗,但是,只要紧紧抓住那一点点的希望,总有迈向光明的一天。因此,面对逆境,也应该感恩,也应该欢庆,那是上天指引我们成长的一个阶段。

祝贺

云龙子画展圆满成功,造福世人

Beauty Within the Frame and Brilliance Beyond It (translated) 

Viewing Master Yun Long Zi’s paintings brings unspeakable pleasure.

At first glance, they seem like ordinary Chinese artworks: subject matters of flowers and birds coloured with ink and paint, and adorned with verses of poetry. But Master Yun’s explanation brings a new perspective to these paintings—they are more than what they seem and are rather intriguing.

This exhibition, themed “Celebrate”, is meticulously curated to bring across Master Yun’s “Celebrationism” style of art. So, what is worth celebrating? According to Master Yun: “Health, wealth, peace, love… are all worth celebrating.” His positive attitude while painting is reflected in the joy of colours: the prosperous peonies, the leisurely cranes, the gorgeous peacocks…. The employment of bright and dazzling colours is entirely different from traditional Chinese paintings which are styled in gloomy tones and withering flowers. Painting is a form of visual art that is usually appreciated for the artist’s skills, employment of colours, style etc. But Master Yun’s paintings go beyond these, he paints in glittering joyful colours and pens positive and cheerful lyrics on them, bringing viewers a sense of hope, inspiration and ceaseless energy. This is a first in the art world, reflecting Master Yun’s deep concern for all under the sun.

Another first in Master Yun’s painting, lies in the usage of gold, silver and bronze foil, creating different visual effects when viewed in day and night. This unique feature is in no way to show off the monetary value of his paintings. Instead, it carries a deeper meaning. Under fluorescent light, each painting appears as a sky full of stars. This conveys a message of encouragement: regardless of your current situation, grasp the hope in this darkness and you will always arrive at a brighter future. Therefore, in the face of adversity, always be grateful, always celebrate, as this is Heaven’s way of nurturing us.

To a successful exhibition and for it to benefit the world.
