「Look at the Picture and Talk about the Painting」Xu Jing’s brushwork reveal the chivalrous frame of mindand tenderness in her work

She was invited by Zhang Yimou to write inscriptions, and Chen Kexin and Wong Kar-wai vieded to ask her to write the title of the film! What is the magic power of her calligraphy?

Calligrapher Xu Jing, since childhood, practiced calligraphy under her father’s guidance. After entering the Nanjing Academy of Arts, she studied under Huang Dun and systematically completed traditional studies, broadening her artistic horizons. She also integrated the thinking of graphic composition into her brushstrokes.

Now she is proficient in all four styles: regular script, seal script, clerical script, and cursive script. She has the elegant charm of the calligraphy of Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi, and the firmness and strength of inscriptions and calligraphy, making the “night” character conceal a profound artistic conception and the “pain” character reveal intense emotions. She has found a unique balance point between tradition and modernity, exploring new paths for the modern transformation of calligraphy.

She has been diligently practicing calligraphy for many years, using the pen as a sword to explore the ink sea. She has broken the boundaries of art and made calligraphy a cultural carrier that connects the past and the present and integrates various elements. Her calligraphy practice is also a process of expanding life, allowing us to know that by deeply cultivating the tradition with love and embracing diversity with innovation, we can open up a unique artistic world in our limited lives, making life rich and wonderful because of the brush and ink, just like a knight wielding a sword in all corners of country, writing his own immortal legend in the square inch of the ink paper.

Today’s tea has run out. Next time, I’ll make some new ones and accompany you to enjoy art.
