I just drew some bottles beiqing.com-beijing Youth Weekly: (08 / 05 / 1523:59) on the last page of her album, Li Tingting wrote: the most exciting thing is to move a bench to lean against the wall, hold a glass of water in her hand, look at the painting, and then she is full of joy. This afternoon, we were treated equally. Sitting in Li Tingting's shady cottage, holding the lemonade she made for us, leaning against her big case, watching her paintings hanging all over the room. With the wind blowing on the rice paper covered with pink bottles and shoes, this quiet and beautiful girl began to tell her story: "I was born in Pingyao, Shanxi Province, and my parents are teachers " do you know what a child born in a teacher's family needs most? Li Tingting said, "it's pencil and notebook. It's too much. If I have nothing to do, I can take a small book and paint. Later, she not only painted on the book, but also expanded the layout to the wall. Pencil drawing is easy to rub off, so this "artist" who has long realized that he wants to protect his works has discovered another thing that his family will never lack: ink. From Li Tingting's detailed description of ink color, it's not hard to imagine her joy when she discovered this new material. Maybe that's why she fell in love with ink later? because of her weak health, although she was a top student in a key school, Li Tingting didn't start the arduous high school struggle. Instead, she listened to her family's arrangement and entered Taigu normal school. Naturally, she chose the art class. In this campus composed of the famous Kong Xiangxi compound, there is no pressure of the college entrance examination. There are only beautiful back gardens, old trees, lilac flowers, singing platforms and toilet doors carved with stone. Half a day in class, half a day painting, nothing to stay in the studio, writing brush words, do some small paper carving, Li Tingting lived three years, she laughingly called "elegant women's school" life. Cardamom's time of life is always important for girls. Such a quiet and relaxed life has a subtle influence on her later artistic creation. It was not until she was recommended to Shanxi Normal University that Li Tingting really came into contact with the so-called formal art education. After learning all kinds of basic knowledge, she entered the major of traditional Chinese painting. In 2003, the girl came to Beijing as she wished to take the postgraduate entrance examination. She met Mr. Huang Huasan by chance. "This choice has become an important turning point in my life.". At that time, Li Tingting didn't know that Mr. Huang was a famous artist in Germany, who returned to teach in 2000. Teacher Huang changed her view of art forever. "His view is that it doesn't matter whether there is a foundation or not. The important thing is whether you like painting or not.". Li Tingting said, "for the first time in class, the tutor took out Tapies' album and joked," you see, this man's painting is so poor that when he becomes a master, you shouldn't have to bear the burden. You can draw whatever you want and use whatever materials you want. ". This makes Tingting a little confused, all the rules are thrown away, before learning is not important, what should be painted, how to draw it? Finally, after turning the corner, Li Tingting found what she wanted to draw - the bottle. One by one, the bottles are full of pictures, which makes her fully realize the sense of achievement that painting can bring: "how to draw is right, it doesn't matter if it is wrong. If it's crooked, it's crooked. If it's crooked, it's slanted. Unlike copying masters, there's always a sense of frustration." It is these transparent, relaxed bottles full of leisure feeling that encourage her: in December 2005, she won a special prize in the 20th "new plastic arts" exhibition in South Korea. In August 2007, she won the gold medal in the Nomination Exhibition of contemporary art college students. The bottle is painted for more than two years, and not enough for more than two years. Ask her if she has any complex with the bottle. A: originally, there was no painting. Now when you see a beautiful bottle, you stop to look at it. Sometimes you can't help taking pictures. After the bottle, Tingting also painted high-heeled shoes, skirts, bags, light bulbs, and even melon seeds. All in all, they are common in her life and our life. some commentators have interpreted Li Tingting's works in this way: her choice of paper type, shape and size, the use of halo dyeing techniques and the sketching of strokes are all faithful to the important tradition of Chinese calligraphy and painting However, her works undoubtedly make a very cold manifesto like statement on the aesthetic concept of contemporary China: in her works, a large number of other modern industrial products such as bottle caps appear repeatedly, in order to interpret the aesthetic concept of her works. a good work must have some conceptual support behind it, but Li Tingting did not deliberately pursue the concept, "I am most afraid that people ask me: why do you draw this, what is the meaning behind it? I can only tell them that I just drew some bottles. Until today, Li Tingting did not expect that she would become a professional artist and make a living by painting. Perhaps, it is precisely because of the lack of this "persistence", she draws at will until today, maintaining the sincerity of painting in this commodity society. Next, I'm going to draw a zebra. Li Tingting looked at the picture of a zebra on the wall, which looked like a mule, and said, "I think I want to draw when I see a zebra. This is the first one. There is not enough paper, so I draw it like this.". there is not enough paper, so the nose is short, but it's a little cute. In this way, Li Tingting continues her "elegant women's life" freely in Beijing, a noisy big city. Painting is just a very important thing in her life. you've been going smoothly, but sometimes do you feel that you may not be able to get out and don't want to draw? When I was in college, I never wanted to be a professional painter. When I was just painting, I didn't think that one day painting would become a particularly important thing in my life. apart from materials, your painting seems to be totally different from traditional Chinese painting? yes. Less about their own painting is traditional Chinese painting, are said to be painting ink. And I have no requirements for materials. I don't have any. I'm bald with my brush. Tools don't directly affect my painting. It's the same with the painting. If the bottle is crooked, let it be crooked. The next painting will be better. People say I'm practicing Qigong when I draw portraits. Whose painting have you been looking at recently? Keith Harlin, I like it very much. I think it's a natural state for art to do its part. It's not artificial at all. His nature is such a person, doing such art. Another is martial arts. did you choose to draw bottles or something by accident, or did you do it on purpose? Have you ever thought about finding your own symbol? It's accidental. I didn't want to express anything specifically, unlike some artists who might paint the cultural revolution. I don't care about politics or war, so I'll find what I want to draw from the small circle I live in. Maybe one day I drew a bottle and thought it was very good, so I went on. "Luxury guide" is the name of your solo exhibition not long ago? You started it yourself? in fact, I didn't want to express such a theme at first, but after they picked out the paintings, I found that they were all like this, so I named them. why do you like to draw in one color? in fact, at the beginning, I used ink. Later, I found that there were many colors that could be used. Like pink is very good-looking, it is a very feminine color, always makes people feel good, but there is always a crisis behind the good. In fact, there is no pink in the traditional ink and wash pigment. I use eosin, which turns into this color after adding water. Is this kind of feeling very suitable? there are many comments on your paintings. Which one do you like? Hehe, it's nothing to comment on, but at the exhibition site, I like the feeling that the audience is stunned when they see my paintings. I think it's good that painting can shock people. Even if the evaluation is negative after the earthquake, it also shows that your painting has a sound, which is very good. if one day you are not allowed to draw, or can not draw, what are you going to do? Be a teacher. Maybe it's also because of this complex. My parents are both teachers. I can have these exhibitions because I have a good tutor If you can't teach Then take an examination of a doctor, finish reading a doctor, and then be a housewife with the highest degree!
