Sunflowers

H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III

 

This is a painting in the “Thickly Piled Patches of Color” style. The entire painting vividly expresses the inner powers and conceptions underlying the artist’s techniques. The work is simple, casual, and natural. The sunflowers, stems, leaves, vase, and tabletop fully reveal adeptness in the application of color patches and brushwork based on a magnanimous, unattached state of mind. Four different techniques were used to convey the Thickly Piled Patches of Color style, all of which show the skills of the artist in depicting this picturesque scene. Impressionism and realism are both incorporated within this work.

A small number of color patches form a charming image of the flowers. Smooth, vigorous, and natural strokes portray a scene of rare artistry. The sunflowers have an extremely interesting withered quality, even an insect-infested look, which leaves a lasting impression on the viewer. The sunflower works of the great master of oil paintings, Vincent van Gogh, reached the pinnacle of art in the history of Western painting. Yet, when compared with those remarkable paintings of van Gogh, this sunflower painting by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III inspires great admiration, leaving the viewer with only one impression: artistry too beautiful to be duplicated, embodying both impressionism and realism, has come to this world through the “Thickly Piled Patches of Color” style!

Ink-wash Painting Sunflowers by
H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III

中國畫壇，歷代的名家大師們，他們的技法、風格和題材大都趨於單一，長於山水畫者，少精於花鳥，又疏於人物，而H.H.第三世多杰羌佛的中國畫藝術，論題材，無論是山水、花鳥、走獸、魚蟲、人物……論技法，不管是工筆、寫意、潑墨……無所不通，無所不精，無一不是有真實的傳統功夫而創新的神意，這一點，早為評論家和收藏家們所肯定。

H.H.第三世多杰羌佛的繪畫藝術，他不僅只求宋、元、明、清的文人化傳統，還信手拿捏宋代以前那種雄奇壯觀，大氣清韻的法度，但又決非以某家某派之舊徑而學筆，師古筆墨，並師造化，融匯新意，自成一體，以獨創特有的藝術成就自成一家，仔細研究H.H.第三世多杰羌佛的繪畫藝術，不難發現傳統墨緣和品類，變法創新之神髓，是前輩畫家們所望塵莫及。
