素闻常安兄画坛盛名，未曾谋面，得缘欣赏其画作，自然保持了一种新鲜的感受，得益菲浅。

　　常安兄二十世纪九十年代初毕业于四川美术学院，毕业后很长时间驰骋商界，现已是成功的企业家。然而他内心深处始终保持着对艺术的痴迷，纷繁商战之外，全身心投入自己热爱的艺术创作，近年来艺术造诣突飞猛进，其画作在艺术市场高奏凯歌，成为拍卖榜上的宠儿，可喜可贺。

　　我想，能够在艺术与实业这两个截然不同的领域取得不俗的成绩，亦绝非易事，绝非偶然。能在酣战商海之余静下心来潜心创作，于纷纭繁杂的事务中抽身出来，沉浸在色彩与光的世界，源于对油画艺术的热爱，对自然景色的热爱，对家乡的热爱。

　　我观常安兄的画作里总有一股浓浓的乡情，无论是再现式的《屋前》《屋后》，还是感怀式的《家乡的早晨》《家珍河》《回家》，抑或抒情式的《父亲的果园》，他的画最打动人心的就是每幅画面都洋溢着浓郁的川西乡土地域情调，色彩在他的笔下如燃烧的音符般跳跃腾挪，哪怕是极平常的田间小景，也含纳着某种不同寻常的深思给观者以触动。这些小景致抒发着大情怀，那就是爱家乡爱自然。在他的作品中，出现频率极高的是他挚爱的家乡——金堂。在他的心中，家乡的家珍河（毗河）、父亲的果园，那一树一木一草一花一河一湖……是索绕心间的永恒牵挂，是挥之不去的浓浓乡愁，是引导一生的精神原乡，是用之不竭的创作源泉。他的作品，唯美，花草之美、山川之美、自然之美……这就是他眼中的自然与家乡、美丽与生活。

　　常安兄扎根于生活，爱在乡间小路寻找灵感，这是他对家乡挚爱的自然流露，对心灵美感的婉约表达。常安兄的画面让每个人都有似曾相识的感觉，家乡在都市人的印象中已经日趋模糊，在当今这个日新月异的时代，家乡似乎代表着传统和落后，人们很久没有谈及茂密的树林、纵横的沟壑、湛蓝的天空、山村的小径等，而常安兄的画如一面镜子般折射出每个人心中久违的乡情。所谓“繁华落尽见真淳”，一股暖暖的乡情就透过画笔与欣赏者互通心声。

　　常安兄的作品题材多为田园风光、山野景物，色彩笔触流畅润泽，极得印象派之真谛。常安兄的作品咋一看朴实无华，慢慢品味又能平中见奇、拙中生巧，体会到画家的敏感与悟性。其中《父亲的果园》系列给我留下了很深的印象，一处寻常的果园景象，常安兄从早期印象写实的画法发端，大胆尝试，积极创新，陆续创造出多风格的系列组画，似受后印象主义和表现主义取舍概括的影响，对造型、光影、色彩都做了大量主观的处理，画面呈现更有力的造型、明快的色彩、强烈的明暗与疏旷的空间，特别在运笔上淋漓跳跃，实为激情所至，达到形与色的收纳自如，作品充溢着强烈的震撼力。也许正是这无尽的乡土之情和山川风物的陶冶，才成就了常安兄鲜明特色的艺术个性和今天的艺术造诣。

　　依依云树动乡情，常安兄的作品描绘了新时代的美丽生活，是对生活、对劳动、对自然的礼赞，期待他创造出更多真情实感的作品，无愧这个伟大的时代。

Trees and Nostalgia -- Review of Paintings by Peng Chang'an

Article by Ma Xiaofeng

　　It is heard that paintings by Chang'an are well-known in the art circle. I have never met him, so I have naturally maintained a fresh feeling and benefited a lot from appreciating his paintings when I happened to have the opportunity to do so.

　　Chang'an graduated from Sichuan Fine Arts Institute in the early 1990s. After graduation, he has been in business for a long time and is now a successful entrepreneur. However, he has always been obsessed with art at the bottom of his heart. In addition to the numerous business warfare, he devoted himself to the art creation he loves. In recent years, his artistic attainments have grown by leaps and bounds. His paintings have been sung highly in the art market and become the favourite of the auction list. Congratulations!

　　I think it is not easy and accidental to be able to make great achievements in two very different fields of art and industry. Being able to concentrate on painting in the hustle and bustle of the business world, plucking out in the complicated affairs, immersed in the world of color and light, it must be due to his love of oil painting art, the love of nature scenery, and the love of his hometown.

　　There is always a strong nostalgia in the paintings of Chang'an, whether it is the reappearance of In Front of the House and Behind the House, or the sentimentality of The Morning of Hometown, Jiazhen River, Going Home, or lyricism of  the Father's Orchard, what's the most touching is that every picture is filled with the rich land-like atmosphere of the township in western Sichuan. The color jumps like a burning note in his pen, even if it is a very ordinary field. It also contains some unusual thoughts to touch the viewer. These small scenes are full of emotions, that is, loving home and nature. In his works, Jintang, his beloved hometown appears in a very high frequency. In his heart, his hometown, like Jiazhen River in his hometown, the orchard of his father, the tree, the grass, the flowers, the river, the lake… is the eternal care haunting in his heart; the deep lingering nostalgia; the spiritual home guiding his whole life; and the inexhaustible source of his creation. His works are beautiful, full of the beauty of flowers and plants, the beauty of mountains and rivers, the beauty of nature... That is the nature and hometown, beauty and life in his eyes.

　　Chang'an is rooted in life and loves to find inspiration on the country road. This is the natural expression of his love for his hometown and the graceful expression of the beautiful mind. The painting of Chang'an makes everyone feel a sense of deja vu. The hometown impression of the urban people has become increasingly blurred. In today's ever-changing era, the hometown seems to represent tradition and backwardness. For a long time, people have not talked about the dense forests, the vertical and horizontal gullies, the blue sky, the trails of the mountain village, etc. while the paintings of Chang'an reflect the long-lost nostalgia in everyone's heart. The so-called "seeing the truth after prosperity", a warm nostalgia communicates with the appreciator through the brush.

　　The works of Chang'an are mostly about idyllic scenery, mountain and landscape. The color strokes are smooth and moist, which really gets the essence of impressionism. At the first glance, the works of Chang'an is unpretentious. But if you taste it slowly, its marvel can be seen in the ordinary and skills come from awkwardness. You can feel the sensitivity and understanding of the painter. Among them, the Father's Orchard series left a deep impression on me. An ordinary orchard scene, Chang'an started from the early impressions of the realistic painting, boldly attempted and actively innovated, and successively created a series of multi-style paintings. It seems that the influence of post-impressionism and expressionism, he has done a lot of subjective treatment on modeling, light and color, and the screen presents more powerful modeling, bright colors, light and dark and dredging space, especially the bouncing style moving the brush. It is the passion, achieving the shape and color of the storage freely, the work is full of strong shock. Perhaps it is this endless rustic feelings and the cultivation of mountains and rivers, which have achieved his distinctive artistic personality and artistic attainments today.

　　Lingering trees and deep nostalgia. The works of Chang'an portrayed the beautiful life of the new era. It is a praise of life, labor, and nature. We look forward to more of his works full of true feelings, living up to this era.
