Major achievements
The Exploration Track and Innovative Achievements of Cai Bugu's Painting
Art lies in creation, which stems from the fact that life must be higher than life. It is necessary to control the scenery with emotion, to think whimsically and to forget the image with pride. Therefore, this young female painter who is good at landscape flowers and birds has made great efforts to observe and describe the unique urban landscape of Hong Kong. In 2005, her Hong Kong urban color ink painting Xiangjiang Cai Hua was her masterpiece. Looking down from the Taiping Mountain in Hong Kong, she described the most beautiful city scene in Hong Kong. She chose the magic and artistic beauty of Hong Kong scenery in Sunglow and Fog. This is precisely why she can play her painting skills more skillfully and describe her fascinating artistic effects and characteristics of water, color, light and air blending. This work better combines some characteristics and skills of oil painting and gouache watercolor painting. It can be said that Chinese and western paintings complement each other, vividly showing the magnificent and spacious scene of Hong Kong City. Therefore, it has won wide acclaim from the society.
Cai Bugu also loves painting lotus flowers. His creation lies not in the physical description of a flower and a leaf, but in the expression of the overall scene and charm of the lotus pond. For example, in her work "A Pool of Lotus Leaves Blowing Everywhere", she focused on describing the scene of lotus flowers swaying in the lotus pond in the strong wind, delicate lotus flowers and dragonflies that could not be moved by the wind, and the lotus leaves written in splash ink were bold and vigorous, which made the picture present a chaotic, magnificent, fresh and gorgeous atmosphere. In addition, a series of newly created lotus works, such as "Sending Lotus Fragrance in Ten Miles in Xia Feng" and "Sending Smoke on the Moonlight Night in the Lotus Pond", all focus on depicting the beautiful and lush scenery of the lotus pond. Its style is very unique. Delicate and free lotus flowers and vigorous lotus leaves caused by splashing colors set each other off in interest, resulting in a strong contrast between the thickness of the picture, the shade of color and the dynamic and static scenery, resulting in a warm, vigorous, heroic and exciting artistic conception and vigorous style. Its novel and unique painting style is unforgettable after viewing it.
The main achievement of Cai Bugu's artistic creation lies in her landscape painting, which is the focus of his exploration and innovation. Her exploration is hard and persistent, which drives her, as Du Fu said, "Words are not surprising and never stop". Innovation lies in originality, and originality with individuality cannot be divorced from tradition and times. Cai Bugu's landscape paintings are broad in weather, rigorous in composition, rich in levels and poetic. They are not ordinary jumping performances. They are thick, rich, full of northern masculinity, and have the characteristics of light and elegant south wind, which has become an independent form of northern painting style in this southern land of Hong Kong.
Judging from the exploration track of Cai Bugu's landscape painting, there is a process from tradition to modernity, from realism to freehand brushwork, from having me to not having me, from blending things with me to forgetting myself, and then gradually moving towards rootlessness, forgetting images and transcendence. This is a leap process from low level to high level, from outside to inside, from existence to nothing. Looking at Cai Bugu's paintings, she has a process of exploration, such as her works "Love Autumn Mountain after Frost", "Qingxi Valley", "Clouds and Gulls Walking" and "Seeing the Wind and Smoke in Wan Li". She pays attention to form, meaning and scene, and her realm is bold and open, and her style is skillful and clear. Her pen, ink and color also absorb the baking and dyeing methods of Japanese painting, making her look elegant and beautiful. The picture style is fresh and bold, quiet and light.
She traveled to Xinjiang and created a series of impressionist paintings in Xinjiang: The Flame Mountain I and Tianchi II, which marked a major turning point in her artistic innovation, thus getting rid of the past direction of taking things as the foundation, blending things with me and paying equal attention to form and meaning, and embarking on a creative stage of taking nothing as the foundation, forgetting things with me, taking feelings as everything, and focusing only on spirit, interest and charm. For example, Tianchi group painting, she is interested in working hard on the cold realm and emotional appeal. Pure and elegant writing, elegant colors, deep and distant scenery and quiet and profound realm fully show the unique scene and realm of Tianchi; The group paintings of the Flame Mountain are intended to work hard on the warm, surging and energetic realm and artistic conception. Its style is bold and unrestrained, bold and unrestrained, and its colors are splashed with ink and colored. Blowing, blowing, but full of passion and passion. Its scenes are mountains, fire, smoke, gas, chaos, magnificence and surging. Its realm is heavy, majestic, thrilling and sighing. This is an image-less, intangible form, which is complacent and forgetful. It is the fusion of god, emotion, reason and interest, and has reached the artistic realm of comfortable and enjoyable.
In a word, Cai Bugu's persistence in artistic innovation and tireless spirit of exploration have brought her art to an ideal state, which is also the basis of her success.
