Falling in love with bonsai makes people have less leisure, less market thoughts, less boundaries between busy and idle in spring, summer, autumn and winter, less vulgar things, less opportunities to travel far from home, less time to help their families, less sleep that should not be reduced, and less eyes wandering in the crowd. More focus, more concern, more sustenance, more expenses, more close friends, more reasons to come home on time, more corners full of pots, more hot and cold experiences, more responsibility, more paranoia, more wonderful world. Bonsai, I use my life to accompany your reincarnation, sweat for you, cry for you, hurt for you, because I am willing to bind my love in the cocoon, even if there is no one, everything is relieved. Just because the process of loving it is so fascinating that I can't let it go. I really can't let it go.

The artistic Life of Wang Shanfeng

Original Picture and text | Wang Hong GE Lisong

In Gubei Town, Jinzhai County, Lu'an City, Anhui Province, there is a middle-aged man named Wang Shanfeng, who may have benefited from the edification of this beautiful landscape and profound cultural heritage. Over the past 20 years, with his love of life and obsession with the art of Chinese painting, he has used ancient and clumsy roots to create root art, paper-cut, traditional Chinese painting and picture stone works with Chinese traditional cultural characteristics.

I met Wang Shanfeng at an award ceremony of the Root Art Strange Stone Bonsai Orchid Association, which gave people the impression that there were not many words of folly.

I went to Ma Zongling on the weekend and came back in the afternoon and decided to make a detour to see his "Art Zhai". We saw that the whole suite was full of his works inside and outside!

Wang Shanfeng loved art since he was a child, especially painting. when he was about to graduate from high school, his parents died one after another, making it impossible for him to enter the university hall. In the era when there was no reform and opening up, he worked hard in other places for survival and was too tired to talk about art.

From his root art modeling, we can see that he has a unique view of root art, summing up one by one that "there is no end to art, there is magic naturally."

He said: "the spiritual roots of these trees have given me the wings of imagination to pursue the unity of man and nature."

I think this work is comparable to the Chinese "rap figurines" of the Han Dynasty. It combines the exaggerated, humorous and humorous features of the "rap figurines".

Its shape reminds me of Norwegian painter Edward Monk's 1893 work "Scream", also known as "Scream".

When we superimpose the three works together, it shows the tension of the root art more!

Although the mountain areas can be found everywhere, it is not easy to find a satisfactory root, which requires discerning eyes, smart brains, and skillful hands. He has traveled all over the mountains and mountains of the Dabie Mountains in the past twenty years. Looking for root art pile, there are thousands of jin heavy behemoth, but also on the palm of the pocket small pieces. You have to read the hard-found roots carefully. How to know and understand tree roots also takes time and energy.

"fruitful results"

In his works, whether it is the root art or the pattern stone, he seems to have a special preference for "dance", which can always reflect the dexterity of the dancers!

Paper-cut originated in the Shang Dynasty, paper-cut needs to have the basis of blackboard painting and traditional Chinese painting, Wang Shanfeng just began to cut all kinds of happy words of marriage, and then studied the aspects of life, until cutting flowers, birds and characters. Cut out one lifelike work after another with red paper, black paper, green orchid paper.

To find the root, how to combine its external beauty with internal beauty organically, that is to say, to integrate my heart with nature, he emphasized the pursuit of nature. And summed up: from nature, take from nature, show nature, appreciate nature, more natural, turn waste into treasure.

Paper-cut is not so much his unique, the waste bark into a treasure and calligraphy into one can be called another unique!

He has been exploring and practicing for twenty years. It is with this persistence that we create one work after another. He said, "Nature is my teacher, which gives me endless enlightenment and gives me artistic inspiration with my limited knowledge."

"I'm a farmer, and I love art more!"

"I look for my roots, and I don't forget them! "
