传东坡板桥之功 立时代竹题上品

一记著名画家高岩

竹子是传统文化的重要物象载体，历代画竹写意清虚，亦作风骨。竹文化古今永传，宋有东坡画红竹，清有板桥作瘦竹。当代著名画家高岩先生，既可以丹笔画红竹，也可以骨法写瘦竹，传统法度精益求精，然后师而不拘，用笔墨当随时代的创新精神，开创时代风竹的新天地，成为当代画竹第一笔!

高岩先生的竹画作品，非常强调专业品质。画法正宗是谓画，画竹无法是涂。高岩先生画竹，骨法用笔的意识特别强，实践也相当扎实! 这得益于先生有不俗的书法修养作根基，可以以书入画! 执笔勾勒，一气呵成，长线无碍，功取滑健。短线顿挫，交待清楚。他画竹把中国画依线造型的本质表现得无以复加，所以骨法写竹最有刚柔相济的精气神。形神兼备，应物象形，尤贵于神!

竹寓君子恰如其质! 画里是技法的精湛，画外则是竹意典雅的儒学精神、竹意虚空的禅理要妙、竹意天人合一的道家玄机。从这个角度来看，高岩先生画竹，真正画出了文化品位，画出了人文高度! 专业品质与文化精神融为一体，让他的竹画在专业层面无可挑剔，在文化传播层面则有雅俗共赏的众誉口碑!

水墨写竹，极善用水!善用水者，画风竹逸遂心应手，所以观赏高岩先生的风竹作品，水墨被铺陈得天质自然。浓淡干湿，层次分明。苍而润，卓而逸。既有笔墨如剑的快利，也有笔墨飞仪的丰神。纯粹的水墨审美意象，让画面在高低相迎，虚实相映的竹叶塑造下，生成了耐于品味的空间格局！简作墨叶，拟万物姿态，有龙腾之势，有凤徊之意，竹叶万般变化，无限意象，让人看得赏心悦目。

高岩先生有超强的写生积累，视觉经验相当丰富，不但可以写竹之意，也可以工笔作竹之形神! 青竹工画，惟妙惟肖，衬以山水，如诗如赋。写生画实竹，不但可以掠物象之体貌，也可以夺物象之精神，画非匠工，尽见神通! 唯有外师造化，方可以这般中得心源! 挂一件这样的竹画在雅舍，必然陶冶身心，醉享上品！这就是他的竹画可以装饰万家屏障，带有鲜明的文化传播价值的重要原因。

传东坡板桥之功，立时代竹题上品。其画法源于古法，但绝不会拘泥于东坡竹。板桥竹里作画奴，而是有我笔画我心，我手画我竹的自主个性，画出了风格独具的“高家竹”。有写意竹，有工笔竹，还有借助金石法度而作的拓印竹，铿锵精神，统摄人心，这也是笔墨当随时代的独家表达！其竹画与前贤竹画三位一体，可以拱立竹题大鼎，为竹文化的传承与创新确立时代功勋!

Passing on the merits of Dongpo Banqiao and establishing a top-notch bamboo inscription for the era

A famous painter named Gao Yan

Bamboo is an important object carrier of traditional culture. Throughout history, painting bamboo with freehand brushwork has been clear and ethereal, also serving as a symbol of style and character. Bamboo culture has been passed down from ancient to modern times, Song Dynasty Dongpo painted red bamboo, and during the Qing Dynasty, Banqiao made thin bamboo. Mr. Gao Yan, a famous contemporary painter, can not only paint red bamboo with Dan strokes, but also paint thin bamboo with bone technique. The traditional method strives for perfection, and then learns without restraint. With pen and ink, he can follow the innovative spirit of the times, create a new world of contemporary bamboo, and become the first brush of contemporary bamboo painting!

Mr. Gao Yan's bamboo paintings place great emphasis on professional quality. Authentic painting is called painting, painting bamboo cannot be painting. Mr. Gao Yan has a strong awareness of using bone techniques and brush strokes when painting bamboo, and his practice is also quite solid! This is thanks to the gentleman's excellent calligraphy cultivation as a foundation, which allows him to incorporate calligraphy into painting! Drawing with a pen, done in one go, with long lines unobstructed, achieving smooth and healthy results. Short term fluctuations, explain clearly. He portrayed the essence of Chinese painting's linear form in bamboo painting to an unparalleled extent, so the bone technique of depicting bamboo embodies the spirit of combining hardness and softness. Having both form and spirit, corresponding to objects and shapes, especially more precious than gods!

Bamboo embodies the essence of a gentleman! In the painting, there is exquisite technique, while outside the painting, there is the elegant Confucian spirit of bamboo, the exquisite Zen philosophy of bamboo emptiness, and the Taoist mystery of the unity of heaven and man in bamboo. From this perspective, Mr. Gao Yan's bamboo paintings truly depict cultural taste and humanistic heights! The integration of professional quality and cultural spirit has made his bamboo paintings impeccable at the professional level, and have a reputation that is appreciated by both the refined and the popular at the cultural dissemination level!

Ink painting on bamboo, extremely good at using water! Those who make good use of water have a natural and natural painting style, so when appreciating Mr. Gao Yan's wind and bamboo works, the ink and wash paintings are naturally applied. Thick, light, dry, and wet, with distinct layers. Cang yet moist, Zhuo yet elegant. There are both the swift and sharp strokes of a sword, as well as the abundant spirit of brush and ink flying instruments. The pure aesthetic imagery of ink painting creates a tasteful spatial pattern through the interplay of high and low, virtual and real bamboo leaves! Jianzuo Moye imitates the posture of all things, with the power of dragons soaring and the meaning of phoenixes lingering. The bamboo leaves undergo countless changes and infinite imagery, making it pleasing to the eye.

Mr. Gao Yan has a strong accumulation of sketching skills and extensive visual experience. He can not only write the meaning of bamboo, but also skillfully depict the form and spirit of bamboo! Qingzhu Gonghua is lifelike, set against the backdrop of mountains and rivers, like poetry and prose. Sketching real bamboo from life can not only capture the physical appearance of objects, but also the spirit of objects. Painting is not a craft, it shows all the supernatural powers! Only the external teacher's creation can obtain the source of the heart like this! Hanging such a bamboo painting in an elegant house will surely cultivate the body and mind, and indulge in a luxurious experience! This is an important reason why his bamboo paintings can decorate the barriers of thousands of households and have distinct cultural dissemination value.

Passing down the achievements of Dongpo Banqiao and establishing a top-grade bamboo inscription for the era. Its painting style originates from ancient techniques, but it will never be confined to Dongpo bamboo. The painting slave in Banqiao Bamboo is the independent personality of my own strokes and heart, and my hand drawn bamboo, creating the unique style of 'Gao Family Bamboo'. There are freehand bamboo, gongbi bamboo, and rubbing bamboo made with the help of gold and stone techniques, which have a resounding spirit and capture people's hearts. This is also the exclusive expression of brush and ink that should keep up with the times! His bamboo paintings are integrated with those of his predecessors, capable of erecting bamboo cauldrons and establishing historical achievements for the inheritance and innovation of bamboo culture!
