王一定：畫筆凝純真

栗子

走進(jìn)王一定先生位于紹興袍江的新居，現(xiàn)代化的高層公寓，窗外即是小區(qū)別致的綠化景觀。但是，王先生坐的依舊是一把紹興老式的小竹椅，毛竹已呈淡灰色，想來年份已久，就好像紹興的女兒紅酒，有誘人的馥郁芳香，且隨著時間的久遠(yuǎn)而更為濃烈。

在紹興呆久了，會慢慢迷上時光醞釀的味道。王先生當(dāng)是如此，慢慢習(xí)畫，慢慢感受；歲月慢慢而去，情致慢慢而來。

坐下，王先生拿出一大堆證書，有獎狀，有收藏證明，還有介紹其畫作的日本雜志……以此帶我走進(jìn)過去的歲月。

翻閱之間，最“惹眼”的還是那幅《女兒紅》。說起女兒紅，王先生的眼睛就亮了。正如那一年，《女兒紅》獲得全國第六屆年畫展金獎，為持續(xù)低迷的中國年畫界帶來了一股新風(fēng)。著名畫家張浩曾評價說，《女兒紅》是近年來難得的年畫精品，畫面瑰麗濃艷，又樸實無華；俊俏的少女與紹興本土文化紹興老酒的結(jié)合，給觀看者帶來愉悅的觀感。這幅畫獲得金獎可謂是眾望所歸。

“我當(dāng)時參觀一個酒廠，印象很深刻?；貋砗螅鸵跃茝S女工為原型，搭配上紹興傳統(tǒng)的文化元素，創(chuàng)作了這幅《女兒紅》?！蔽医裉炜催@幅畫，仍然覺得它畫面構(gòu)圖整體協(xié)調(diào)，主題突出，形式新穎，極具現(xiàn)代感。而畫面中心的這位姑娘，無論形體、動作，還是表情都顯得自然淳樸。整個畫面用紅色渲染，表現(xiàn)出了濃郁的喜慶、繁榮景象，也突出了年畫所應(yīng)有的吉祥和喜氣。

其實，在這之前，王先生還有一幅作品獲得了全國第五屆年畫展的銀獎，那就是《祖國，早晨好》。這幅水彩年畫，以天安門前的升旗儀式為主題，在突出中國軍人颯爽英姿的同時，通過周圍群眾、少先隊員五彩繽紛的服裝和彩飾，展現(xiàn)出了祖國欣欣向榮的大好景象。這幅作品如今被日本福岡亞洲美術(shù)館收藏。

在閑聊間，筆者瞥見了客廳里的一幅油畫，畫作上的時間表明，這是王先生近日來的新作。小橋流水人家，只是古樸的老房子已經(jīng)開始傾頹，但是屋前的絲瓜藤還是自顧自地蔓延著，該開花照樣開花。這是紹興的斗門古鎮(zhèn)，只要一有空，王先生就喜歡到這些老地方轉(zhuǎn)轉(zhuǎn)，也許時間留不住這些老紹興的美好，但是畫筆可以，幫助后人留下這一瞬間的感動和值得永久回味的純真?！?/p>

Oil Painter Retains Local Tradition

By Li Zi

I recently visit Wang Yiding at his home in Shaoxing and find him an artist of delightful contrasts.

Wang lives in a trendy high-rise apartment building sitting comfortably in a well-groomed garden in Shaoxing; he enjoys sitting in a small bamboo chair. This kind of bamboo chairs represents a folk handcraft popular in Shaoxing and goes back to centuries. The anachronistic chair looks old, threadbare, and gray.

Born in 1949, Wang is an oil painter and a member of Zhejiang Oil Painters Association. He studied at the affiliated middle school of Zhejiang Academy of Fine Arts, the predecessor of China Academy of Art based in Hangzhou. He took an advanced course for oil painting at the academy and graduated as an art major from Hangzhou Teachers University. Yet, the oil painter is best known for Spring Festival painting, a quintessential genre of Chinese folk art in celebration of the lunar New Year. Over the past 20 years, Wang Yiding has won quite a few gold and silver medals for his outstanding Spring Festival paintings at national exhibitions.

Wang Yiding is a Hangzhou native, but now lives in Shaoxing, an ancient city of scholars, warriors, artists, revolutionaries, and writers. For many people in Hangzhou or other big cities, Shaoxing is a far away city where time seems to go at a slower pace. Wang has long since willingly subjected himself to the slow and long time things in Shaoxing take to mature and blossom. He allows himself to think deep and feel deep, taking his time to paint sophistically.

One of his best-known paintings is “Daughter Red”, a gold medal winner at the 6th National Exhibition of Spring Festival Paintings. Daughter Red, traditionally, is a local name for the rice wine for which Shaoxing is famed at home and abroad. It is said that parents bury a jar of rice wine when their daughter is born, and unearth the jar and share the wine with friends, guests and relatives at the daughters wedding. Thats why rice wine is fondly called Daughter Red, though the low-proof rice wine looks brown.

Wang recalls that the inspiration for this painting hit him while he was visiting a winery in Shaoxing. He was deeply impressed by everything he saw there. Back home, he got down to working in a hurry. In the painting, a young woman in bright red sits in the center, lifting the red bridal veil; she is surrounded by jars of wine. The artist comments that the painting looks perfect even today and that it successfully conveys the best a New Year painting should present.

I see an oil painting in the sitting room. The date on the painting suggests that Wang painted it recently. It portrays a small bridge quietly sitting over a bubbling stream flanked by some simple houses leaning a little bit, with yellowish flowers on vines of towel gourd. Wang Yiding explains that it is a scene of Doumen, an ancient town in a suburb of Shaoxing. He visits the town frequently. He prefers old places. Aware that the beauty of the old town may vanish as time elapses, he tries to retain the beauty that should last forever. Well, he wants the heart-touching beauty to stay as long as possible in his painting. □
