Shao Ye Dao: painting the spirit of the times □ Xu rongmu, Zhu Xibin, Shao Ye Dao is an excellent military painter in China, known as the "king of tiger in the army" and "king of peony in the army". He has been working hard in the field of painting for more than 40 years, and his understanding of life and art has been deepened. With his unique talent, persistent artistic pursuit and superb painting and calligraphy level, he has painted the spirit of this era. Shaoye Dao was born in 1962 in Shipu Town, Ningbo, Zhejiang Province. His mother is a well-known folk painter. Shao Ye Dao was educated and influenced by his mother. He showed his talent of painting in his childhood. In his weak year, he studied mounting in a mounting shop. This experience also had an important impact on his painting career. Shao Ye Dao also used his spare time to copy various famous paintings and works, which he enjoyed. In 1981, Shao Yedao joined the army, and his fine feelings melted into the heroic spirit of the soldiers, and his painting style was filled with masculinity. In 1989, he was admitted to China Academy of fine arts and graduated from "deep processing" to postgraduate. During his study, Shao Yidao got along with many painters and calligraphers, and benefited a lot from the careful guidance of more than 60 people, including Qigong, Xiao Feng, pan Gongkai, Yang Renkai, Wu Guanzhong, Li duo, Deng Bai, etc. This has changed his works in many aspects, such as artistic concept, performance techniques, ink application, and laid a solid foundation for his artistic creation. Art is the aesthetic reflection of the objective world, and regional environment and social change often have a great impact on art creation. Shao Yidao was born in the south of the Yangtze River, but he traveled all over the country and lived in the north for many years, which made his works not only like the graceful pastoral under the immersion of the culture of the south of the Yangtze River, but also like the rough Symphony under the influence of the culture of the north. Reading Shaoye Dao's paintings is like tasting a cup of precious tea, which is full of fragrance and charm. As long as you are calm, you can feel the aura, the magnificence, the beauty of atmosphere and delicacy flowing quietly between the brush and ink, and enjoy a quiet state of mind. "How can I get plum blossom fragrance without a cold heart?" As Sima Yi said in the new Three Kingdoms, I only wield my sword once, but it has been used for decades From the technology into the road behind, is the painter honed, ten thousand kinds of pay accumulation. Shao Ye Dao is good at meticulous painting. He not only studied the essence of "paper tiger" of famous scholars at home and abroad, but also went deep into the mountains of Northeast China for many times to observe the real tiger. For this reason, he was almost hurt by the tiger. He is good at integrating the image of the tiger with its body and mind. In his long scroll of hundred tigers, the background of the painting is ice and snow, which sets off the fierce tiger. The ingenious fusion of ice and snow with the fierce tiger adds the spirit of the work and solves the key point of "blank space" skillfully. This idea embodies the artist's courage and ingenuity. The tigers in his works are of different shapes, radiant and self-made. Some of the tigers came rushing with awe and awe, some of them roared up to the sky and shook the mountains and rivers, some of them were full of prestige without anger, some of them were playing with their licks, some of them were passionate and loving, and they were full of fun. The tiger's fur, stripes and beard are vividly painted, and the paper tiger is vivid, which shows his profound ability. Some experts said: "when you watch his paintings, you will feel like Mu Huwei; when you watch his paintings, you will feel like entering the mountains and forests; when you watch his paintings, you will hold your breath; when you watch his paintings, you will be shocked!" He painted like a tiger, more like a God. Professor Wang Bomin, a famous art critic, said, "it's very rare for ye Dao to draw the God of tiger." Chen Dayu, a famous painter, called his tiger painting "vivid and heroic." Qigong commented on his work: "painting tiger teacher tiger into verve." It shows the true meaning of tiger painting. Xiao Feng, the former president of the Chinese Academy of fine arts, praised Shao Yedao's tiger painting: "the perfect combination of the spirit of the tiger and the general's demeanor and demeanor reflects an unparalleled artistic beauty." Li Jianchen, the originator of Chinese watercolor painting, wrote an inscription "tiger king in the army" after watching his tiger painting. Some art organizations praised him as "the first person to draw tiger in modern China". Shaoye Dao's flower and bird paintings, no matter in meticulous or freehand brushwork, can be seen at a glance with high taste and fresh air, which gives people a visual enjoyment of transcendence, elegance and natural beauty. He explored the integration of cross form and cross technique in the form of flower and bird painting with active consciousness, and opened up a new aesthetic realm of flower and bird painting. Shaoyedao's freehand peony is based on Qian Xuan, Chen Lin, Wang Yuan and Zhang Zhong of the Yuan Dynasty. He pays attention to sketching, novel composition, colorful but not sluggish, bright and elegant, vivid and colorful image, unique style of painting, learning from the ancient but not sticking to the ancient. In his works, most of the peonies are wild flowers, with bamboo forests as friends, mountains and rocks as companions, and sometimes with dead trees and new branches as background, alternating old and new. Peony in the wild environment and can do its best, smile to welcome the spring, let people imagine, touch the scene. He describes the blooming flowers and full natural life with bright and beautiful colors, so that the viewers can feel the interest of nature and the rhythm of life through one flower and one leaf. In the painting "a panoramic view of spring", the painter takes the heavy ink lines as the main body of the peony. They are thick and vigorous, colorful and vivid, with sound strokes, clear layers, bright and colorful, and the "atmosphere" is compelling, which shows the natural beauty and national color of the peony properly and makes people fall in love at first sight. Looking at the peony paintings of shaoyedao, there is vitality everywhere. The pictures are prosperous, full of thriving and vigorous life atmosphere. What they embody is the spirit of the times and the true feelings of the soul to the dynamic world today. The "prosperity" here is by no means rigid and repetitive, and has a lively meaning. Each stroke has a flower, a grass, a mountain and a water. Its peony painting also conveys a kind of indomitable spirit, a kind of indomitable and confident optimistic spirit. With strong generalization and strong painting decoration effect, he raised the performance of traditional Chinese Peony painting to a new level in the pursuit of aestheticism. Over the years, Shaoye Dao has studied modern landscape painting deeply and carefully. He traveled all over the country, went deep into famous mountains and rivers, and took a panoramic view of the divine beauty of nature and integrated it into his heart, overflowing his pen. The landscape he painted is magnificent, often "with the ink of the Yuan Dynasty, the Song Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty", complex but not disordered, proud and perfect. Even the branches and the treetops are not light. His works are characterized by changeful brushwork, exquisite brushwork, simple and distinct personality, and all kinds of landscapes are the reflection of the painter's emotion. Under his superb brushwork, the double artistic conception of realism and romance is vividly reflected. Shao Ye Dao's landscape painting works, in the painting method of the combination of virtual and real, shape and spirit; in the artistic conception of poetry and verve, reality and ideal intersection. In the painting "the new poem of autumn red leaves falling", the painter expresses the spirit and aesthetic style and interest of traditional painting with free and easy painting language, which is embodied in his works through the language modeling of brush and ink. The poetic and ink beauty of the landscape in the painting depicts a slow and long melody and a profound and steady rhythm for people, emphasizing the overall harmony and meaningful charm. The readers will be attracted by the spirit of painting, its style and interest, which will give us endless peace and pleasure in the transcendent silence. The reason why Shaoye Dao's landscape painting realm is fascinating is that he shows the readers a beautiful picture with his unique discovery and unique painting style, which is magnificent, quiet and steady, with a kind of extraordinary quiet and strong personality, which makes it form a unique style different from other painters. And it is this transcendental stillness that makes the viewer experience the feeling of pure and serenity, returning to the nature and returning to the true, the unity of heaven and man, and the Wonderland like travel. Yang Renkai, a famous connoisseur of calligraphy and painting, commented: "Shaoye Dao is good at absorbing new methods based on the old ones, reflecting nature and creatively developing his own unique art on the basis of his predecessors' paintings." Yes, with the change of the author's interest, his paintings have also changed their appearance, that is, from "simplicity" to "prosperity", from traditional to modern. Shaoye Dao's paintings are delightful, wonderful and exquisite in all kinds of subjects, which can be called all-round "eccentric" painters. Zhong Yi, a calligrapher and art critic, praised Shaoye Dao as "one of the unique people in the history of Chinese art". Depending on your talents, you should be proud of yourself. For decades, Shao Yidao has been able to stand loneliness, persevere and keep improving, never chewing other people's bread. His intellectual surplus, passion and righteousness, simple atmosphere and humor, plus the ability to talk about art, so friends all over the world. People not only like his paintings, but also admire his extraordinary personality charm. Shao Ye Dao has paintings in his heart and is never interfered by the outside world. His life is closely connected with paintings. He spends almost all his time on creation, except eating, sleeping and receiving friends every day. Painting for him is not only an interest, but also an indispensable part of life. Shaoye Dao's paintings have a long history of fame. Since he held an individual painting exhibition for students of Chinese Academy of Fine Arts in 1990 in Xiling Seal society, Hangzhou, he has successively held dozens of art exhibitions all over the country, which have received a lot of praise and attracted a large number of people to buy paintings. At the end of one exhibition, all his works were bought by a big entrepreneur, which shocked the staff on site.

Some dealers with sensitive sense of smell have set up four in Ningbo, Nanjing and other places
