Chen Shanglong Shanghai Institute of Visual Arts
I have loved ink painting and Tai Chi since I was a child. I think ink painting is like Tai Chi, which emphasizes yin and yang, expansion and contraction. Ink painting and Tai Chi share the same realm and wisdom. The lines of the master's works are flexible and elastic, and the pictures are rhythmic, just like the priorities of boxing techniques. Both gave me the same perception in many ways.
Shanghai Yongnian Team
Since joining the Shanghai Yongnian team, it has helped me a lot. The atmosphere of the Yongnian team is positive and full of positive energy. I gained a lot when I learned Tai Chi from Master Li Xiangyu. He taught me boxing techniques and many principles. He also had unique insights into art and often gave me unexpected inspiration!
Works by students of the first peak class: Chen Shanglong's "Everywhere, Everywhere 2"
For example, the work "Everywhere, Everywhere" created last year was created after combining updated artistic perception and updated techniques. The main source of inspiration is Tai Chi.
Tai Chi is not just a martial art. Tai Chi is full of beauty. Tai Chi is a philosophy of life and a state of life, which is very sublime.
While I was creating, I was thinking: This series of works is just a starting point for me. As the saying goes, there is no limit to art, and I will continue to practice Tai Chi! ! !
