Not received a professional art training, self-taught painter, an art created in the "enthusiast", his work was selected for the National Art Exhibition, he was the Chinese Cultural Center in Berlin, Germany, Hebei organized the first exhibition - he Zhang grew up in drinking water is the son of farmers - Wang Fengguo.
Recently, contemporary oil painter Wang Fengguo Strength Oil Painting Exhibition is on display in Tangshan. When I walked into the hall, there is a small farm house exposure to the feeling of golden corn, green fruits and vegetables to drop, the ancient farm implements ... ... kind of vivid, like the original ecosystem, so I would like to explore the artist behind the story.
Simple, this is my first feeling to see Wang. He grew up in Jinan Ping former rural areas, by local folk artists of old, like a painting. At that time the family was poor, no money to buy pens, paper, he used willow charcoal on the ground. 1978 trip to Beijing to see Tiananmen Square, Chairman Mao hanging on, when he knows, is called painting. "The original painting can be so vivid!" Realistic oil paintings from Wang Fengguo embarked on the road. In this way, away for a few years, many difficult, perhaps most people can not understand that.
Creation get people. His later work and painting without any contact. He first into the County to work in a factory, worked as electrician, let the film, in many occupations, but the only constant is the pursuit of art. In addition to work when he was 8 hours, sleep thirty-five hours a day, the whole rest of the time for painting. "I carry a sketch book, each of the factory workers are my models." Wangfeng Guo said proudly, "was painted a full three sacks."
Wang Fengguo study abroad at their own expense, to see the exhibition, painting. And let him draw a firm belief in his 2001 work "should not forget the memory" in Hebei Province to celebrate the 80th Anniversary Art Exhibition Excellence Award. Award that he was very much delighted, in his words, "This is my happiest day ever, because I can still paint."
The subsequent creation out of control, whose work has been awarded national and provincial exhibitions: works "July" was selected the Tenth National Art Exhibition; May 2010, the German Embassy in the Chinese Culture Center in Berlin invitation exhibition held in Germany, his work "Biography" is the permanent collection of Chinese Culture Center in Berlin. He also Hong Kong, Beijing, Shandong, and held personal exhibitions.
Wang Fengguo works mostly rural themes, steaming steamed bun, tiger shoes, shadow play, paper-cutting ... ... gives his paintings simple, quiet, peaceful mood, people felt a kind of a long absence. Exposure to these paintings, as if to paradise, there is no hustle and bustle of the secular, to savor the true meaning of life.
When asked why the local themes as the creative theme, Wang Fengguo said with deep feeling: "I was born in rural areas, long in the countryside, I am a farmer's son, this is my childhood life, I want to paint the picture so that farmers can understand . "This reminds me of Hans Christian Andersen once said," who can retain his childhood living on your gift, when he was an adult not a poet, is an artist. "This is Wang Fengguo a particular asset.
In the creative process, he continued to explore innovation, developed their own unique set of paintings for their own tools. In painting and drawing on the language of Western classical painting techniques, he combined the material, language, themes together very well, so cleverly and accurately express his own ideas, developed its own unique style.
Interview draws to a close, Wang Fengguo, he was just like painting, like the country, more people want to know in Hebei, nothing else. May have only this simple like, in order to have the result of simple bar.
Wang Fengguo With a grateful heart, with the truth to describe that once the land of his birth to his care. Traditional Chinese culture that "the situation as fully formed on the outside in," Wang Fengguo paintings are interpretations of it all.
