The pursuit of quietness and beauty: the blending of knife and water.

Although printmaking has a long history in China, its rise in the field of fine arts began in 1950s, and three woodcut bases in China were formed in 1960s and 1970s. Northeast China is dominated by black watermark prints, Sichuan is dominated by black and white woodcuts, and Jiangsu and Zhejiang are dominated by watermark prints. As a typical example of Jiangsu and Zhejiang prints, Suzhou watermark prints have sprung up after the reform and opening up, and their development can not be separated from the efforts of a group of printmakers such as Suzhou Shen Minyi.

Shen Minyi, 194 1, from Suzhou. He likes art since he was a child. He vowed to be an artist in his middle school graduation thesis My Volunteer. However, fate seems to be testing this young man who is interested in art. When many peers with the same aspirations entered the Academy of Fine Arts that they yearned for, Shen Minyi reluctantly became a student of Suzhou Textile Machinery Vocational and Technical School with the help of her family after failing to enter East China Art College. After graduation, he became a skilled worker in the factory and worked as a foundry worker, lathe worker and mechanical fitter. Although the school he attended was far from his favorite art, Shen Minyi never lost his artistic dream. After hard study and work, he spent almost all his time on painting and found a suitable artistic path-the creation of watermark woodcut prints.

"Plum blossom fragrance comes from bitter cold". After unremitting efforts, Shen Minyi finally opened up a sky of his own in the field of watermark woodcut. From a worker, an amateur artist to an accomplished professional artist. Since the 1990s, Shen Minyi's watermark woodcut prints have frequently won awards in major competitions. The Window on the River won the Bronze Award in the 10th National Print Exhibition. Hometown, Sunset on Yiyi, Dong Jiao in Xue Ji, Wu Ge at Midnight, Blue Sky and Blue Dream won the Outstanding Works Award in Jiangsu Print Exhibition.

1999 was also awarded as "China Excellent Printmaker" and "Lu Xun Printmaking Award". Works such as Window by the River and Dawn in My Hometown are collected by Jiangsu Provincial Art Museum, Dong Jiao by Shenzhen Art Museum, five works such as Jiangnan in Huang Wu by Grameen Museum in Paris, France, and eight works such as Midnight by National Library of Paris, France. With his fame, his self-study experience was frequently exposed by the media, and he won the "Self-study Achievement Award" in Jiangsu Province and 1993 and 1995 "National Self-study Achievement Award" successively.

Shen Minyi's woodcut works have been widely praised in the woodcut world and become a beautiful scenery in the homes of ordinary people. This is closely related to his unique artistic creation perspective and unique artistic charm of his works.

Watermark woodcut is also the art of "leaving marks" to some extent, and Shen Minyi knows this well. From the strength and direction of the knife, the contrast between black and color, to the integrity of the picture structure and the rhythm of the texture materials, he meticulously carved every link of his creation, and the rhythm changes of points, lines and surfaces enriched his creation and expression techniques. He also looks for a compound space from the plane, so that the tough knife and the tender water can achieve the ultimate harmony. The perfect combination of knife marks, imprints and water marks forms the unique artistic charm of Shen Minyi's prints.

China's traditional painting has always paid attention to "expressing feelings through scenes" and "blending scenes". Shen Minyi is good at expressing her love for her hometown and nature by describing various scenery. The genre of his works is mostly taken from the customs of Jiangnan water town, such as boats by the lake, old houses with stone bridges, white walls and black tiles, windows on the river, clouds in my hometown, swallows flying south, etc. These scenes from daily life not only contain the author's exploration and persistent pursuit of art, but also bear the author's deep feelings for his homeland, which is why his works always resonate with the audience. The white snow in Winter Solstice is an old house that looks dark against the white snow. Pupils near the old house are holding a pholiota adiposa and two or three strings of small footprints, which seems to remind people of their childhood. They are not rich but very warm. And the quaint old houses, deep alleys and winding small stone bridges in the Eye of the Ancient City should arouse many Jiangnan wanderers' yearning for their homeland. What is even more impressive is the magical quietness revealed in Shen Minyi's works, which can soothe the restless urban mind. No wonder Mark, vice chairman of China Printmakers Association, said after reading his works, "Mr. Shen Minyi's prints can often attract people to a quiet and beautiful world, calm people's hearts, give people some sustenance and enjoy beautiful and quiet art."

Journalist interview

Although Mr. Shen Minyi's studio is in the city center, it is quiet and elegant in the noise. I have seen Shen Minyi's works before, and I think that although Mr. Shen is an old gentleman, his painting method is very modern. Although Mr. Shen is a traditional ink painting, he is good at using colors, gorgeous but unconventional. After contacting Mr. Shen Lao, I found that this old man is versatile and his thoughts are more modern than his paintings. Mr. Shen Lao painted oil painting, watercolor painting and traditional Chinese painting, engaged in craft design and later engaged in printmaking. He has a thorough understanding and grasp of various artistic elements and has his own style. He is also very proficient in computers, likes photography, makes his own videos, and knows a lot about some modern tools, which has to be admired by Boyi reporters. Teacher Shen affirmed Boyi's work, supported Boyi's activities of offering love for earthquake relief, and painted for Boyi's scene.
