书家心语
作者:王旭东
艺术事业是人民大众的事业，艺术宝库是人类的共同财富。继承和发展民族传统文化艺术是每个艺术探索者的责任，尽管每个人的才能不一，但只要你能够全身心地投入，通過自己的灵氣和勤奋为丰富和发展我們的民族文化艺术宝库尽心尽力，即无愧于自己的人生。我十分欣赏俄國寓言作家克雷洛夫的名言:“至于我，生來就为公众利益而劳动，从來不想去表明自己的功绩，唯一的慰藉就是希望在我们的蜂巢里能够看到我自己的一滴蜜。”
人生是一个过程，艺术探索也是一个过程，一旦踏上艺术探索之路，并真心诚意要在艺术之海里遨游，你就會看到我們中华民族传统的文化艺术宝库是多麽博大精深，無数的艺术精英以他们出众的才华，构成了我们今天看到的传统艺术海洋，在这个大海中，此岸看到彼岸好，这山望着那山高，人的追求就是在這种不断求变化求发展中前進的。探求多元化之路是当今世界思想开放与時俱进的表现，也符合生命不止，探索不休，艺海无涯的规律，我不希望我的书法停留在某种套路之中，也不希望过早被人认为是形成什么風格，即一看就知是xxx的字，其实我认为那只能算在艺术大海里游上一瑰礁石再也游不动了罢了。清末康南海曾云:吾眼有神，吾腕有鬼。此种心态我辈亦然，人人追求完美，完美总在前方，也可能终生都有遗憾，学艺真如逆水行舟，不进则退。我钦佩那些银幕上被视为性格演员的艺术家，他们以自己的才华尽可能多的向世人展现多种性格的美，而不愿像本色演员一样，終生只有一种戏路。
继承传统广临百家，潜心揣摩古人典范之作，笔墨技巧熟练後，创作其实就是在写修养、找不同感觉，写胸中日常认识和积累。如唱戏，你可以立足于某一类角色或行当，但也可去了解探索表现诸如小生、花旦、老生、黑頭、花脸之类，因为他们都是可以給人以美感的艺术形象，书法创作亦应如此。
2004年12月15日王旭东书法展前言
Words of a Calligrapher Author: Wang Xudong
The
pursuit of art is a collective endeavor for humanity, and the treasury
of artistic heritage is a shared treasure of mankind. Inheriting and
advancing traditional Chinese culture and arts is the responsibility of
every art explorer. While individual talents may vary, as long as one
dedicates themselves wholeheartedly to enriching our cultural legacy
through creativity and diligence, they will have lived a meaningful
life. I deeply admire the Russian fable writer Krylov’s wisdom: "As for
me, I was born to work for the public good. I never sought to claim
credit for my deeds. My only solace lies in hoping to see a drop of
honey from my own hive within our collective nest." Life is a journey,
and artistic exploration is equally profound. Once you embark on this
path with genuine dedication, you’ll discover how vast and intricate our
nation’s cultural heritage truly is. Countless masters have shaped
today’s artistic landscape through their exceptional talents. In this
ocean of tradition, we admire distant shores while pursuing new vistas –
human aspirations thrive through constant evolution and innovation.
Embracing diverse approaches reflects our world’s openness to progress,
aligning with the timeless principle that "life never ceases,
exploration never stops, and the sea of art knows no bounds." I refuse
to confine my calligraphy to rigid formulas or be prematurely labeled as
having a signature style – like instantly recognizable as "xxx’s work."
Such labels merely mark a reef in the vast ocean of art, where true
navigation requires continuous exploration. As Kang Nanhai (1876-1948)
famously said: "My eyes behold divine visions; my hands wield artistic
wonders." This mindset resonates with us all. We relentlessly pursue
perfection, yet it remains elusive, often leaving lifelong regrets.
Mastering an art form is like rowing upstream – if you don’t advance,
you retreat. I admire screen artists who embody the concept of
"character actors" (xingren xingzai), using their talents to showcase
diverse character beauty rather than being confined to a single role
like traditional actors. By inheriting traditions and studying ancient
masters’ works, we refine our skills. True creation lies in cultivating
artistic cultivation, discovering unique sensibilities, and expressing
accumulated life experiences. Like opera performance, one can specialize
in a particular role type while exploring diverse artistic expressions –
Xiaosheng (young male roles), Huadan (flower maiden roles), Laosheng
(senior male roles), Heitou (dark-faced roles), and Hualian
(painted-face roles) – each offering distinct aesthetic appeal.
Calligraphy creation should follow this principle.

Mr.Wang
Xudong’s calligraphy demonstrates exceptional mastery through his
signature brushwork techniques: the subtle interplay between concealed
and exposed strokes at the start, the solid three-dimensional execution
during the stroke progression, and the crisp final touches. His works
showcase remarkable quality in brushwork, structural composition,
stylistic characteristics, artistic conception, and the harmonious
integration of innovation with tradition. These elements collectively
reveal his profound expertise in calligraphy and distinctive artistic
vision.
