中国传统画界很乐于说师承。师承某某某,这是炫耀家底。虽然我宁愿我的学生不像我,也不像历史上任何一位画家。但我们也不用回避血统。因为它存在。
Learning is strength
In May of this year, at the 2021 Graduate Graduation Exhibition of Oil Painting Department of Chengdu Academy of Fine art, I proposed to Wei Yan, the director of the oil painting department, that an exhibition of graduate students of our school could be hold in my museum at an appropriate time. Now, this exhibition has been well planned and will be presenting soon, and it will be included in the Special Invitation Exhibition of Chengdu Biennale 2021. Anyhow, it is a good matter. For the college, the participating artists are recommended by their own instructors, which is a stage summary. For students, being able to gather into an exhibition and enter the Chengdu Biennale sequence is also a glorious record in their art history. For me, I have been doing my best in providing exhibition opportunities for young artists for many years. It is also an honor to be able to launch this time in my museum (joint exhibition with D Space).
In the field of art, the college system has an absolute advantage. In other words, this is a reality that the active artists are basically from various art schools. In this context, this article will talk about the mentorship.

Take me as an example, I graduated from the fine arts class of Chengdu Normal University and the undergraduate and postgraduate classes of the painting department of Sichuan Fine Arts Institute. In terms of qualifications, regarded as a typical academism. There are mixed reviews for this term at the moment. But on this point, there is a situation that may be convincing. Back then, many friends studied painting with me together in their spare time. Now they disappeared from the professional circle, none of them were admitted to the Academy of Fine Arts. Regardless of whether this is a cause, as far as I am concerned, I can go to this day, first of all, thanks to my teachers. For example, Mr. Ma Yiping, my teacher at Sichuan Fine Arts Institute, taught me the concept and method of "Modulation" and has benefited a lot so far. The teachers have trained me and changed me so that my work has the same appearance as it is today, moving forward or back, increase or reduce, sometimes. I don't know if the students participating in this exhibition have the same experience. The indisputable fact is that they have all experienced learning. If they choose to become professional artists, then this learning mode will accompany them throughout their lives.
The reason why "academism" is being questioned, maybe because modern art was born and developed from the rebellion against this. As far as I am concerned, I am not a typical contemporary painter, but I no longer have to work with the style I learned in the academy. I also tell my students that some things should be forgotten after they have learned them —— What I am actually referring to is that certain knowledge has entered muscle memory and there is no need to think about it, but it does not mean that it does not work. For example, the "Modulation" mentioned above is like a composer operating with his hands instead of his brain, and this is the result of years of brain learning.
Let's talk about learning. I watched a video music lecture talked about a song written by Chopin when he was five years old last night. They are all child prodigies. Compared with Mozart, Chopin won the song in terms of maturity. But the speaker pointed out: It's because of context, Mozart was in front, Chopin learned from him, So I want to talk about another aspect perhaps more important of learning, which is to learn from the predecessors.
Discuss with several people in different fields at the Shenzhen International Art Fair not long ago, an architect said that now we are not learning from nature, but learning from our predecessors. Even using our own eyes, we are standing on the shoulders of predecessors. I find that the architecture world is very frank about this, somehow, the art world is a little shy to answer this. That is possible, that the success of contemporary art basically lies in originality. But I want to say that you are too late in your life, and your language has been used up by your predecessors (and even the awakeners among your peers). You can only learn their language first, and then strive to speak better. This is about "quoting".
As mentioned above, the era of the original language is over. Chinese contemporary art started late, and the way to accelerate it is to learn and quote. This is also an objective fact. Behind every successful artist stands a master of the past; Although the art world doesn't talk much about mentorship -- you can always tell who your father is. Of course, I also follow the unspoken rules, tacitly; Then confidently urge the students to learn whoever they like, and to quote any existing symbols they like. Of course, I also follow the unspoken rules, tacitly; Then confidently urge the students to learn whoever they like, and to quote any existing symbols they like. Don't be ashamed of it, but proud of it. It’s important to know that in some areas, the quote is a high-level thing. In ancient times, poets who can't use allusions are embarrassed to say that they are poets. It doesn't matter your painting looks like someone else's painting. First, you were originally a student, the second is as long as it looks like a good thing. In the art category, the knowledge that can be taught orally is limited. Visual art mainly relies on vision. I told students that they must learn how to "look" first. Looking forward and backward, looking left and right, looking at history, looking at the present. Look at the master and look at the amateur painter. Look at the teacher and look at your classmates. Look at the picture album, watch the art exhibition. Other areas of knowledge cannot be ignored yet. I learned a lot from architecture that I cannot learn from the Academy of Fine Arts. Listen to music, I can not imagine that a good painter who doesn't love music. If possible, If possible, have a look at the sheet of music. Musical notes have their visual beauty because they change the world. Those who paint should look more at photography, those who paint oil paintings should look more at Chinese Ink Painting, the contemporary artist should look more at the traditional things. It is not shameful to learn, and it is shameful not to learn. Learn first, think again, learn while growing, learn while losing, in the end, you are yourself.
The world of Chinese traditional painting is very glad to talk about mentorship. To learn from someone is to show off his value. Although I would rather my students are not like me or any painter in history. But we don’t have to avoid pedigree. Because it exists.
