几年前在雅昌网发了一篇《艺术，让女人走开》有好几位女画家向我掷了鸡蛋。

　　关于女性艺术的话题，研究者多为女性，女人研究女人，是一角度事，一半一半，世界就此放大，水墨清韵，另一半天地是女人。

　　《好女人，是件艺术品》《官窑女人》《水墨清韵，另一半天地是女人》《女人，是一部读不懂的天书》《画家身边的女人不容易》《再谈官窑女人》女人，是男人永久的话题。女性艺术，时代变了，世界变了，女性书画家多了起来，进入视线的大都是工笔画而已，不得不承认是社会主义初级阶段，见何家英先生率领一帮女弟子们心里就发笑，再看到魏立刚率领一帮女弟子们，怎么也笑不起来，尊重情感和画照片是二个不同的境地。安徽省博物院潘玉良的作品陈列展我最少看了二十次之多，有时会在展厅里呆上整整大半天。周思聪，我一看到她荷花作品，心口就阵阵发紧，去年的清明，专门去周思聪的墓地拜望了她。近几年来对于女性艺术家我还是关注的。关注女性艺术久了，发现了一个不可忽视的问题，女人在人生的选择上，还是不淌艺术这领域为好，艺术这碗饭，端起来很重，至于吃还是不吃的问题，放到下一个世纪去好好研究，不需去深究了。艺术，有太多天生因素，男人，女人，女人身上艺术的潜质要远远高于男人。女人，沾点艺术就升华，沾上艺术，就会更加妩媚。同时我还认为作为女人，还是做为一般女人比较好，或者撩起裙子，迈出小脚在艺海沙滩边婀娜几步，留下几个浅浅的小脚印，不要往深水区走，后面的我是省略号了。

　　女人，女性艺术，艺术女人，女人一旦艺术，和一般女人拉开了距离，从此会打扮自己，女人的气质，唯有艺术可以改变。女人，女性艺术，艺术女人。艺术，是和情感搅拌在一起的，情感的成分大了很多，在这种情况下，笔墨等于零。艺术，艺术的魔力是，深入下去就是一条人生的不归路，有点危言耸听，好多实例可以证明，付出的将是整个生命的代价。艺术，最最大的缺点是与孤独结伴，又一个严重的问题出现，无视了环境，活在自己的世界里，我字当了头，太多的时候是精神裂变，东边曰头西边雨，变化莫测。

　　我二年前写的《艺术，让女人走开》有几位女画家不能深度理解，将我骂了一番。女人，中国女人，和外国女人，西方女人有质体的差别，这种差别还很大，人种上分为白人，黑人，人的质体上是阳阴的不同，再加上生长的大环境不同，存在着很多不同，黄种人生活在地球的东半球，这是上帝按排。东方女人，中国女人，再研究就是天和地的事，深入下去就会发现女人身上有的，男人没有办法有，女人，东方女人有潜在而又丰富的第六感觉，那种敏感度，是男人根本不能具备的。女人，女人一旦艺术，世界会发生变化。女人，会直把男人改造的面目全非，原本抽烟的不抽了，原本喝酒的，不喝了，女人，主要功能就是改造男人。然而艺术女人，不会改造男人，只会改造天地，这就是艺术女人的特点。

　　女人，女性艺术，艺术女人。

　　我关注女人， 我又写女人，从北京写到深圳，刚完《何香凝》一文，又写深圳的徐洁

　　。

　　前几天，到了留仙洞艺术区徐洁的工作室转了下，第二天随手发了几张徐洁工作室的照片，写上了那么一句:“徐洁，这名字很好听。”后面的没写，若要再写，便是天上洁白的云彩。

　　关于女人，关于女性艺术，关于艺术女人，之后是关于徐洁。

　　艺术，是要看背景的，或深或浅，或浓或淡，构成了整个生命的富丽。

　　从上帝那里知道，艺术家是天生的，天生的，就是无法改变的，徐洁当然属于天生的。

　　我是先认识徐洁的父亲，然后再认识徐杰的。

　　认识徐洁，是大哥魏宝荣去世的日子，因为大哥魏宝荣认识了徐洁，一路走来，整整十六年。

　　那一年大哥魏宝荣逝世五周年纪念曰，徐洁哭的很伤心，回来的路上还在哭。

　　徐洁，书法家，书法老师，艺术家。

　　徐洁，会武术，也算是武林中人，如果不说，人们是不会知道，早年的徐洁是浙江金华女子武术队。

　　女子习武，和剑脱不了干系，公孙娘和杜甫同时出现，致而转換，文武双全，双全了是什么概念?女人，玩艺术，是一般女人望尘莫及的。

　　徐洁由书法转为书象，完成了由书法家到艺术家的全过程，由武术转为写字，由写字转为书法，徐洁一路走来， 亦文亦武，在深圳这座移民城市中，又能找出几个来，再度延伸现在的中国又能找出几个来?

　　在深圳，我向陈传席介绍:这是深圳的才女。才女，迂腐的不太好听，二十一世纪了，女人玩起了艺术，徐洁从上个世纪，连到了这个世纪，她圆满地完成了艺术人生弹跳，从书法到书象，由形到图，由图到象，徐洁严严实实地成为了艺术家，用当代艺术慨恬，把中国的书法艺术玩到了一般人不能理解的书象艺术中来，点，线，面，块，黑与白，霎那间的捕捉，全部由情感调度，透出形而上的精神光彩。

　　写起装样子的学术性来。学术，装出来的学问，西医管着中医，拿外国人说事，恰恰地忘记了人种的不同，致命了。深圳这个地方，原本56个民族又多出好多个数不清的民族来，尽管民族不同，面部的喜乐哀愁的表情基本上差不到那里去。王羲之，颜正卿，柳功权，怀素，王铎，傅山，一遛烟下来，吴昌硕，康有为，于佑任，林散之，再往下，时代发生了变化，时代的挤压，情感放在了首位。不再是点，撇，捺。电脑了，网络了，微信了，数据了，由书到了象。徐洁的伟大作用是颠覆了深圳的书坛，一时间使好多人辦不出东南西北来。著名书法家谢雲给她题了:凤鸣山谷。前年她回老家浙江省金华市不为隆重的办了一个《书象展》颠覆了一下浙江的书坛，气病了不少人，书法怎么能这么写?一块坚实的盾牌挡着，刀枪不入:书象。

　　九月份徐洁要在深圳大学美术馆举办她的书象作品艺术展，我在想她的展览在深圳会是空前的，是隆重的，去的人会很多，拖家带口的，原因她有很大的气场，有一支队伍，人多力量大，三十六度八，一百个三十六度八，二百个三十六度八，由体温，到热度，再就是气场。写到这里不可避免的一下子想到了孔老先生，徐洁在深圳弘扬了中国书法，徐洁和孔先生一样有很多弟子，是女弟子偏多。

　　南无释迦阿弥陀，佛教，儒教，传授书法，现在的中国人，普渡不众生，徐洁功德无量，女人，一艺术，就气质，春夏秋冬，天真自然，把数百名年轻美貌女子会心于此，从汉字开始，从书法开始，进入书象，把情感拖泥带水灌进手中笔，桌上纸，有了情感，怎么写都不为过，怎么写都是对的。徐洁的伟太，给她们赋予了生命的意义，人格的自尊，多了一份气质，多了一份高贵，多了一份自信，更是多了一份美丽。

　　大中至正，书而有象，九月十二日深圳大学美术馆《凤鸣山谷一一徐洁书象作品展》到时见。

 

　　Woman, Female Art, Artistic Woman

　　A comment on artist Xu jie

　　Zhen Ping

　　I published an article Art Lets Women “Go Away” on the Artron.net website several years ago, for this quite a number of female painters threw eggs at me.

　　On the topic of female art, researchers mostly are female, women’s research on women is a matter of viewpoint or angle, and the world is thus magnified; when it comes to the elegance and charm of ink wash painting, the other half of the world belongs to woman.

　　A Good Woman, Is An Artwork, Gentle, Virtuous, Dignified Women, For the Elegance and Charm of Ink Wash Painting, the Other Half of the World Belongs to Women, Woman, Is a Book from Heaven Impossible to Understand, It’s Not Easy for Women to Be beside Painters, and Further Talk about Gentle, Virtuous, Dignified Women, woman is a permanent topic for men. As far as female art is concerned, the times have changed, and the world has also; the number of female painters has got bigger, and most of those coming into sight engage merely in the traditional Chinese realistic painting, this is undeniably only at the initial stage of art. I couldn’t help laugh in my mind whenever I see Mr. He Jiaying leading a group of disciples, while I just couldn’t laugh whenever I see Mr. Wei Ligang leading a group of disciples, respecting emotion and painting photos are two different states. I have visited the exhibition of works by Pan Yuliang at Anhui Provincial Museum over 20 times, and sometimes I would stay in the exhibition throughout the better part of a day. Speaking of Zhou Sicong, I will feel somewhat breathless spasms at my heart whenever I see her lotus paintings. On the last Tomb Sweeping Day, I visited her at her grave to pay my respect specially. I have still kept a watchful eye on female artists in recent years. Having interestedly followed female art for a long time, I have discovered an non-negligible issue, as regards life choices, women had better not engage in the domain of art, as the business of art as a livelihood is very hard to do with, and as regards the question whether to do with it or not, which should be put into the next century for a better research, we needn’t make a deep examination. Art relates to too many innate factors; as compared with man, woman personally has far greater artistic potential than man. Woman will become sublimed only if they are slightly immersed in art, and will become more graceful if they are deeply immersed in art. Meanwhile I also think that as a woman, one had better act as a common woman, or lift up her skirt and step out her small feet on the beach of the sea of art and take several graceful steps, leaving several small shallow footprints, but had better not walk toward the deep-water zone, and for what follows, I would put down ellipses.

　　Woman, female art, artistic woman; once a woman becomes artistic and gets herself distanced from common women, she will hence make herself up, and the temperament of woman can only be changed by art. Woman, female art, and artistic woman; art is mixed with emotion together, if the component of emotion is much bigger, the concrete approach or means will become unimportant. Art, or the spell of art, is a journey of life with no return if one goes on deep, this is somewhat alarming, and many examples can prove that what is paid out will be the price of entire life. As regards art, its biggest shortcoming is the companionship with loneliness, besides, another serious problem will occur: disregarding the environment, living in one’s own world, the ego is becoming paramount, and in most cases resulting in a dissociative identity disorder, like the sun shining in the east and rain falling in the west, and unpredictable changes.

　　Several female painters could not have an in-depth understanding of the article Art, Let Women Go Away written by me two years ago, and scolded me quite a lot. Woman, Chinese woman is different from foreign woman or Western woman in quality (or the “essential being”) or in the essential being, and this difference is huge also; there is a division between the white and black races, the quality (or the “essential being”) of humanity has a yin and yang difference, plus the difference of the overall environment of growth, there are numerous differences, the yellow race lives in the Eastern Hemisphere, this is arranged by God. As regards Oriental women, Chinese women, a further research will be the affairs of heaven and earth, and going on further you will discover that man can not have what woman has in her person; woman, Oriental woman has the potential and rich sixth sense, and its sensitivity can never be possessed by man. Woman, once a woman becomes artistic, the world will change. Woman will simply transform man beyond all recognition, a once drinker no longer drinks, and the main function of woman is to transform man. However, an artistic woman will not transform man, but will only transform the world, and this is the characteristic of artistic woman.

　　Woman, female art, artistic woman --- I keep a watchful eye on woman, I also write on woman, from Beijing to Shenzhen, I have just completed the essay He Xiangning, and again write about Xu Jie.

　　I paid a visit to Xu Jie’s studio in the Art Zone of Liuxiandong the other day, and casually posted several photos of her studio the next day, with a sentence written: “Xu Jie, this name is very pleasant to hear.” I didn’t write what was subsequent, and if I wrote further, it would be the white clouds in the sky.

　　About woman, about female art, about artistic woman, and then it is about Xu Jie.

　　Art closely relates to the atmosphere of the artist’s family background, which, artistically profound or shallow, strong or faint, constitutes the gorgeous beauty of entire life.

　　As known from God, an artist is born to be an artist, and what is inborn is what can’t be changed, Xu Jie of course belongs to those born to be an artist.

　　I got acquainted with Xu Jie’s father at first, and later with her.

　　I got acquainted with Xu Jie on an anniversary of our big brother Wei Baorong, and have known her for 16 straight years all the way along because of our big brother Wei Baorong.

　　On the 5th anniversary of Wei Baorong’s pass-away, Xu Jie sobbed so sadly, still sobbing on the way back.

　　Xu Jie， a calligrapher, a calligraphy teacher, and an artist.

　　Xu Jie, with wushu skills, can be considered to be an insider in martial arts circles as well, and if not told, people would not know that Xu Jie used to be a member of Zhejiang Jinhua Women’s Wushu Team in her young years.

　　A female, to practice wushu, of course has to do with swords, and like a swordswoman occurs with a poet at the same time and they become one person through an integrated conversion, who is versed in both polite letters and martial arts, what is the concept of “being versed in both”? A woman playing with art are incomparably superior to common women.

　　Xu Jie has completed the whole process from a calligrapher to an artist by shifting from calligraphy to calligraphic imagery. From wushu to writing of characters, further from writing of characters to calligraphy, she has progressed all along, with skills in both art and wushu, how few are such talents in Shenzhen – this city of immigrants – and more widely in China at present?

　　In Shenzhen, I introduced her to Chen Chuanxi, saying that she is a talented woman of Shenzhen. Talented woman, is so pedantic as to be somewhat unpleasant to hear, it is already the 21st century, and women are beginning to play with art; starting from since the last century and going on into this century, Xu Jie has successfully completed leaps in her artistic life, from calligraphy to calligraphic imagery, from form to picture, from picture to image, and has solidly become an artist, to sum up by contemporary art, this is a process of playing the Chinese calligraphic art into the calligraphic imagery art; points, lines, planes, black and white, as captured in instants are all deployed by emotion, which shows the spiritual luster of metaphysics.

　　It’s really outrageous to pretentiously write academic articles and to pretend learnedness, this is just like Western medicine arrogantly wanted to control Chinese medicine and a Chinese talked about foreigners’ affairs with the Chinese and was forgetful of racial differences. Here in Shenzhen, to the existing 56 ethnic groups are again added innumerable nationalities, though the nationalities are different, the facial expressions of joy and sorrow on their faces are rather alike. Wang Xizhi, Yan Zhengqing, Liu Gongquan, Huai Su, Wang Duo, and Fu Shan, down straight to Wu Changshuo, Kang Youwei, Yu Youren, and Lin Sanzhi, then further down, the times have changed, and emotion is put in the first place due to the compression of the times. It is no longer those dots and left-falling or right-falling strokes. It is already the computer, the Internet, WeChat, data, and from calligraphy to imagery. The great role of Xu Jie is that she has overturned the calligraphic world of Shenzhen, and this has made many people unable to make out the situation for a time. The famous calligrapher Xie Yun wrote an inscription for her: “The Phoenix Singing Resonantly in Valley”. In the year before last, a Calligraphic Imagery Exhibition held quite solemnly by her in her hometown - Jinhua City of Zhejiang - when she returned there, produced a subversive effect on the calligraphic world of Zhejiang, making quite a number of people anger and fall ill: “How could calligraphy be performed in such a manner?” There is a solid shield for protection there, which no sword and spear can pierce, it is: the calligraphic imagery.

　　Xu Jie will be holding an exhibition of her calligraphic imagery works at the Art Gallery of Shenzhen University in September, I am thinking that her exhibition will be unprecedented in Shenzhen, and a lot of people will go there, with all their family members, because she has a huge amount of charisma, a large team, and a large number of people will form a great force, from the temperature to the heat, and further to the aura or popularity. Writing about this, I can’t help thinking of the great scholar Confucius, Xu Jie has promoted Chinese calligraphy in Shenzhen, and like Confucius, she has numerous disciples, and most of them are female.

　　“I devote myself entirely to Amitabha”, Buddhism, Confucianism, teaching calligraphy, Chinese people at present, do not all receive universal salvation, Xu Jie has merits beyond measure, a woman, once becoming artistic, will have a superior temperament; throughout the year - spring, summer, autumn, and winter - she, innocently and naturally, converge the hearts of hundreds of young and beautiful females here, starting from Chinese characters, and from calligraphy, entering into the calligraphic imagery, pouring emotion grossly into the writing brush in the hand and the paper on the desk; with emotion, one will never exceed bounds no matter how one writes, and all writing whatsoever is right. The greatness of Xu Jie has endowed with the meaning of life and the self-esteem of personality, with a bit more of temperament, a bit more of nobility, a bit more of self-confidence, and still a bit more of beauty.

　　The absolute uprightness with impartiality and the calligraphy with imagery, let’s see The Phoenix Singing in Valley -- Exhibition of Xu Jie Calligraphic Imagery Works at the Art Museum of Shenzhen University on September 12.
