India

我小时候,从父母喜欢的印度电影、书籍中,知道了这个地方,对它充满了好奇与想象。有一年过完春节,我告别家人,踏上它的土地,路遇印度⋯⋯
在印度门下,遇见的一身单衣的低吟老者,在风中浅唱低吟,漫步而来,眼睛不知看向何处。
我第一眼遇见不是诗人的他,就给了我一种诗意。更因他一袭玫红色棉袍加身,我愿意喊他:玫色诗人。
我几乎没有主动坐过人力车。我在瓦腊纳西画着水淋淋的墨色,他结实的脸与壮硕的手脚,都湮没在湿湿的、淡淡的等待中。
这几幅娑婆行者,是在恒河边修行的印度教徒派。面对神的世界,我们不说。
我们有过去、将来、现在;他们也有;正路遇的所有人,在岁月长河中,都是一样,我们尊重生命,互相爱。

When I was young, I got to know India from movies and books which my parents liked and became full of  curiosity and imagination about it, until one year in springtime, I said goodbye to my family and put my feet on Indian soil for the first time.

Old man whistling
Under an Indian archway, I saw an old man whistling. He was wearing thin clothes, piping softly in wind. He was walking but no one knew where his eyes were looking.

Rose Poet
This very first person I met in India was not a poet but he gave me a strong poetic feeling. And since he was wearing a rose-carmine cotton robe I like to call him: Rose Poet.

Rickshaw driver
I hardly tried rickshaw. In Varanasi वाराणसी [Benares] I painted a wet ink painting of a rickshaw driver patiently waiting. His solid face and burly figure are buried in watercolour.
路遇印度-婆娑行者之五》200×50cm 纸本水墨 2015年
Hindu devotee 5
These Sanyasi Hindu devotees practice by the Ganges River. We are silent in front of the Gold's world.
路遇印度——夜茶老者
Night Tea
There was a pot of hot tea resting on a tin bucket of burning coal. The old man sold it to thirsty passers-by, a red-brown liquid, with a light aroma of mint.
烧着煤火的铁皮方桶上,搁着一壶热茶;老者将它卖给渴了的路人,是一种红褐色液体,还有一点薄荷香气。
路遇印度——婆娑行者之二Roadside encounter - Holy Man 2
Another of the Hindu sects by the Ganges river. They remind me of the monks in Kathmandu. We are silent in front of the Gold's world.
这几幅行者,是在恒河边修行的印度教派,其中也有我对加德满都修行僧的感受。面对神的世界,我们不说。
Indian roadside encounter - 3 路遇印度——婆娑行者之三Indian roadside encounter - 3 路遇印度——婆娑行者之三
I can't deny I thought of Gandhi when I painted this, I even bought a bronze statue of Gandhi from his cemetery.
But I actually met old men just like this while passing through the countryside on the bus to Kolkata.

Saha walker 4
Some people look at this and read a philosophical meaning, I don't know. He's just come ashore from the Ganges and is looking at you with wet straggly hair.

Indian roadside encounter - Delhi kid 路遇印度——德里小子
I can't deny I thought of Gandhi when I painted this, I even bought a bronze statue of Gandhi from his cemetery.
But I actually met old men just like this while passing through the countryside on the bus to Kolkata.

Woman with hand lamp
In the holy town of Benares where ceremonial cremations take place along the banks of the Ganges. When it was quiet all around, in the gloomy night an old woman with a navy blue robe and hand lamp passed through the alley.

Indian Encounter - Saha world 1

We have past, future, and presence, so do they. Everyone we meet in this lifelong river are the same. We respect life, we love each other.


Coal Mining

湖南过冬,以前用火盆烧炭取暖,我来北京学习工作,知道了北方的暖气,才想画画供暖的人,带来光明人。
我从河北怀来屯煤的小煤场画卸煤人,一直深入到山西、内蒙千米多深的矿井下,画挖煤人。白天,我们攀坐缆吊的猴机下到矿井底平面,再蜷缩小火车到作业面,只身下达狭窄的作业点,一样装束的我们劳作后,大嚼铁饭盒里的饭菜。夜晚,我们住在大煤场透风的砖房里,我睡一会就被冻醒一阵,矿工们取暖烧的是燃点不高的煤渣块,怎能不冷。

常常想起煤场里的黑尘弥漫,从头戴的矿灯风帽到脚上的鞋子,我的眉间心头浸蕴在这黑黑的、暖暖的炭沫中,不愿散去。

In winter, people in Hunan used to burn charcoal for heating. After I came to study in Beijing, I first time realized that in northern China, there is city heating. Then, I came up with the idea of painting people who work for city heating. They are also the ones who brought us brightness.

I went to HuaiLai in Hebei province to paint coal workers from a small coalmine. Then I continued my trip to paint coal diggers deep down in the coal wells in ShanXi and Inner Mongolia. These wells are as deep as thousands meters underground. During the day, a crane lowered us to the bottom of the mine shaft on a monkey winch, and then we took small trains to the work area. We crawled to the narrow working spots. I was living the same way as these coal diggers. We dressed in the same clothes, and tucked in appreciatively to the same food in our mess tins. At night, we slept in a drafty brick room in the coal mine. Every time I fell asleep I was woken again by the cold. How couldn't it be cold? The miners are using waste coal cinders for heating which don't burn well.

I often remember the black dust spread through the coal mine. From the helmet with the miner's lamp to the miner's boots on my feet. I get lost in thought of this dark black and warm coal dust.

The Sword brave suicide team drink a bowl of wine before battle
《拼了》之大刀兵
大刀队主由农民组成,敢死临行前壮饮半碗酒!
Machine gun soldier hoarse from shouting resistance to the enemy
《拼了》之机枪兵
声嘶力歇的狂吼呐喊,是我中国军民同仇敌忾的抗战情绪!
War - soldier with eye injury.
Bandage around his head, big lips, frightened eyes, lost look of war
《拼了》之伤眼兵
绷带绕头,张大的嘴唇、惊恐的眼神,对战争失落的神情
《拼了—中国军民抗战纪》局部
若来犯我中华,宁可流血断头,拼了就拼了!

Travels

离开学院,离开都市,每每当我和不同地域的大多数人在一起,就着手边的水和墨,是我吟唱的方式,我感到存在与踏实,边行边感受,体会过程,享受乐趣。画者以画应证,大家看到就懂了,寓自我理想于画中,观者自然明白。

长居京都,常忆故里,也难忘曾到过的地方,锦绣中华、南北湖湘、古国埃及、灿烂印度、原始北美、诗意欧洲……任何一个地方都有原住民的出走,也有新移民的进驻。就象我们徜徉在湘西凤凰无愁河畔,听沈从文先生说:照我思索,能认识我;照我思索,能理解人。如此延绵的乡愁,如此坦荡的汉子,如此静好的韶光,如此迷人的异乡,我,终知道,这是自己情感的触碰末梢,画此,笔未动心先醉了。

Leaving colleagues, leaving the city, whenever I stay with people in different places, I would use water and ink to paint, as my way of self-expression, I feel reality and peace. As I travel I gain experience, and the process of experience is a pleasure in itself. Painters use painting to express themselves, everyone can understand just by looking. What is in my mind is in my painting, the viewer can understand naturally.

I have long been living in Beijing and have also long been thinking about my hometown. I dream often about the places where I once visited, beautiful China, Hunan and Hubei, ancient Egypt, historical India, pre-Columbian north America, poetic Europe ... Every place has indigenous people who have left and new immigrants who have arrived. This reminds me of words from 沈从文 Chen Congwen: follow what I think, you get to know me; think the way I think, you get to understand people. Such nostalgia, such broad mind, such peaceful time, such charming new lands, I, finally understood, this is the subtle nerves of my emotions. Painting this, the brush is intoxicated even before I start painting...
