【Art021】程起 致敬王寵

程起，自號石道人，閑雲山人，別署亹。1956年生，安徽歙縣人。幼承庭訓，天資靈慧，七歲即隨父文輝先生習詩文書畫，及長，醉心新安畫派，朝夕臨池不輟，於釋弘仁，汪之瑞等諸家用功最深。書法則得力於顏魯公及魏晉諸碑帖。又好金石，以秦漢為宗。尤喜刻硯，至上世紀八十年代初即為傳統歙硯雕刻後繼者中翹楚，壹時海內名家為之銘硯者眾。且為東灜硯界名宿於龍尾山下潛心刻硯凡三載而飲譽海外。此後刀峰忽轉，致力於復興失傳近三百年的徽州黟縣青人文賞石之雕刻技藝，為此其遍訪徽州境內之歷代遺石，悉心揣摩，反復實踐，幾近癡迷，漸次形成以傳統治石技法為手段，以黟縣青母石為根本，以宋元畫中山石為境造，以妙得自然造化為歸旨之治石理念與風格。得黟縣青歷代人文賞石之未曾有。近年來不限黟縣青石，緣有所遇，或英德石，或太湖石，或昆山石，或勞山石，或最為鐘愛之靈壁石，適有意會，刀斧錐鑿，靡不萬千氣象。又以所藏，所治，所見之銘心絕品為粉本，移入縑素。壹幅既成，展卷可觀，可依，可臥，可遊，令人有林泉之思，蓋其深諳石性石理，又精於筆墨故。實與尋常畫石者所不同而陪受海內外藝術界，收藏界同仁註目。其作品為眾多海內外藝術機構，博物館，藝術家，收藏家，鑒賞家收藏，謂之得其壹石片紙拱若珍壁，絕非過言。

About Cheng Qi

Cheng Qi refers to himself as ShidaoRen (Man of Stone’s Profundity), XianyunShanren (Hermit of Leisurely Clouds), as well as Wei (Diligence). In 1956, he was born in She County, Anhui Province, to a family that gave him quality childhood education. He already showed great talent when he started to learn poetry, calligraphy, and painting at the age of seven under his father’s tutelage.

As he grew older, he took to the Xin’anSchool of Painting (a group of Anhui painters in the 17th century excelling at painting local mountains), and would practice painting day and night, with special attention paid to the style of Shi Hongren, Wang Zhirui, and other masters.

His calligraphy was inspired by the masterpieces by Yan Zhenqing (709-784, a great calligrapher best known for his regular script) and the rubbings from stone inscriptions from the Wei and Jin Dynasties. He shows fondness for the inscriptions on ancient bronze ware and stone tablets, especially those from the Qin and Han Dynasties.

He also has predilection for inkstone carving. In the early 1980s, he already led the younger generation of carvers for traditional She County inkstone, and was commissioned by many renowned calligraphers to carve inkstones for them. For the sake of a prestigious Japanese inkstone carver, he once lived at the foot of the Dragon Tail Mountain (a mountain in Jiangxi Province, where the material for famous She County inkstone comes from) for three years to study inkstone carving—an experience that brought him international fame.

Then he shifted the focus of his efforts to the revival of the ancient techniques (believed to have been lost for 300 years) of carving a type of stone called “Green of Yi County” from Anhui Province, an ornamental art form much appreciated by ancient literati. He traveled across Anhui Province to study the “Green of Yi County” left by ancestors of different dynasties. With relentless efforts and deep fascination, he developed his own theory and style of stone carving, combining the nature of “Green of Yi County,” the ancient techniques of stone carving, and the inspirations gained from both nature and the mountains and rocks in the paintings from the Song and Yuan Dynasties—an unprecedented achievement for “Green of Yi County.”

In recent years, he has extended his material from “Green of Yi County” to stone from Yingde City in Guangdong Province, the Tai Lake, Mount Kun in Jiangsu Province, Mount Lao in Shandong Province, and LingbiCounty in Anhui Province (a type he loves the most). Whenever inspiration strikes, strokes of his hatchet and chisel will lead to a wonderful universe in miniature.

In addition, he appropriates the stone masterpieces he has collected, created, and seen for scroll painting. Such appropriations are amenable to various ways of appreciation, giving a vicarious pleasure of being a hermit absorbed in natural scenery. This is credited to his great brushwork and profound understanding of the texture and nature of stone. Connoisseurs lavish attention upon his works due to his exceptional style rarely seen in other stone-painting artists.

Many of his works have found their way into the collection of museums, art institutions, artists, and connoisseursat home and abroad. For them, it is no exaggeration to say that a mere piece of Cheng Qi’s creation is something to “put on pedestal.”
