Cui Ruzuo's Finger Paintings of Landscape Album -by Zhu Liangzhi Finger Paintings of Landscape Album was created by contemporary chinese artist Cui Ruzuo's. Each page filled with unique visions of landscape, each one different and each representing the world through a fusion of reality and the artist's imagination. As much as this work stands as a tour de force for the artist, it is also representative of Cui's contribution to the overall Chinese modern painting genre. Finger painting was a unique mode of sketching and painting in traditional Chinese painting, and appeared around the time of ink painting in the Tang Dynasty, gaining momentum and continually developing until the Qing dynasty and later, employed by other modern artists such as Pan Tianshou. Having studied ink painting for over fifty years, Cui concentrated on finger painting in the last five years - having fifty odd years in the foundation of ink painting under his belt, Cui's deployment of ink and assuredness in the application of water allowed him to use the same technique in handling the difficulties of finger painting, thus creating a new platform for Cui to experiment and challenge himself with. These hundred pages of landscape by finger painting is the result of his hard work. The use of brush is common and dictates a certain generic function, yet the use of fingers is unique and also allows for much change. By releasing the constraints of the brush and turning to the use of fingers, Cui heeds to the need for change and transformation - though different, Cui never departs from connecting to the heart of traditional Chinese painting, absorbing thousands of years of tradition to inspire his new direction. Using the different parts of his fingers, Cui manages to express the ebbs and flows of rivers, the grandeur of mountains, the unruliness of forests, all the while maintaining the distinctive use of fingers for a cacophony of shapes. Cui fully utilizes the narrowness of his little finger to create jagged, abrupt strokes, while he employs the roundness of his thumb to infuse the paper with ink and moisture. Though the fingers cannot fully represent the variations of a brush, it does not lack the sharpness the brush can achieve. Many of the paintings within this collection see Cui using the edges of his fingers to carefully create ridges and cliffs, delicate flowers and blossoming trees. To a certain extent, the success of his finger painting lies in the fact many viewers don't recognize, or forget, that all these hundred paintings were created without the use of a brush! Cui manages to create painting after painting of individualistic landscapes, from spring to winter, snow to rain, sunny warm to blistering cold days, from small cottages to magnificent mountains, layers of clouds stacked above seasK for all that he creates, each highlights Cui's distinctive artistic style, his limitless imagination and ability to create a continuous narrative amongst a hundred landscapes. Cui borrows the lines from famous poet Du Fu in one of his pieces Qing Jiang, to express his free spirit. Though his pieces are simply composed, it is imbued with deep meaning and the symbolism is rich with his love towards his family and homeland. Finger painting goes back to the roots and allows the artist to 'feel' their creation, to connect one's heart with their mind, translating it into their fingers and expressing it onto paper. The connectedness this art form is able to achieve reinforces the idea that the artist can truly create their world and not be held back by anything. Finger painting adheres to the zen notion and chinese philosophy of direct thought and accuracy of expression. Cui harkens back to this basic mode of expressionism and awakens the viewers with a transformed type of finger painting, introducing us to a world of limitless imagination and closeness with nature.

《指墨山水百開冊頁》,是當代著名畫家崔如琢先生的國畫新作。這卷以指墨完成的百開山水冊頁,每一頁都是一個獨立的意義世界,百幅之作不見重複之跡,合而構成波瀾壯闊的山水麗景,從而表達豐富的生命體驗。這是崔如琢先生奉獻給藝術界的大製作,也是他個人創作生涯中的里程碑。 指墨作為中國傳統繪畫的獨特樣式,伴著水墨的出現而產生,唐人始為此法,至清初高且園而臻於成熟,近人潘天壽豐富之,遂成中國繪畫中幾可與筆運相頡頏之方法。崔如琢先生事筆墨之道五十餘載,近年來究心指墨,他在流連指墨的五年中,以五十餘年筆墨為根基,體味指墨之妙,從而揮灑江天,翻為新曲,將指墨之法推入一個新境界,此百開冊頁就是他多年研味此道的結晶。 運筆,常也;運指,變也。舍筆而求指,必有求變之思,又易流於炫奇之道。觀崔如琢先生百頁指墨山水之作,其心心念念似在接續中國傳統山水畫之正脈上。他以千餘年傳統山水之靈想,來滋育他的指墨世界。以平常心即道的心法,來駕馭他的指墨翻飛。他的指墨山水不求荒怪之路,但求平正之觀,在斐亹流麗中,別有一種光明正大之氣。看似亂頭粗服,卻是高華嚴整。 指墨畫雖不如毛筆變化多端,要亦不失其獨特魅力。其五指運用,掌背兼如,甲肉互舉,徐疾相參,亦可生出萬般變化,具有極強表現力。此百開指墨山水冊充分展現了指墨的形式表現力。如其得於指甲之妙者,甲運墨而為線,線短而速疾,反復觸擦,短線相接,似斷實連,有頓挫奇崛之功,如印家朱修能、丁鈍丁之碎刀短切,行刀細如掐,風味多高古。其得於指頭之妙者,以指肉或掌心蘸墨著紙,渾圓內斂,易出蒼渾之境。如冊中一幅《荷塘清夏》圖,田田之葉,點點之蓮,皆由指頭隨意點出,層次複雜,絕不亞于金冬心“荷花開了,銀塘悄悄”的《賞荷圖》之境界。指非筆,然並不缺乏鋒毫之味。指畫得於指鋒變化者,指尖畫線易出中鋒之妙;拇指側面運行,極具側意迴旋之瀟灑;令人印象深刻者,乃冊中散鋒之運用,指由下而上,逆行於紙,似澀然有聲,於線之末端,忽然一提,線如細花散開,洋溢出難以言傳的爛漫。 此百開冊頁,盡見崔如琢先生指墨之妙,然此冊所得之大者並不在指墨,而在獨特的境界創造。以指成畫,畫成而忘指。畫家借指墨之法,創造山川景象,創造一個個詩意盎然的境界,於此中注入自己的生命感悟。百開冊頁的每一頁畫幅並不大,意象簡省而情思綽約。畫家所畫非眼前之實景,多胎息于心靈的盤鬱,是憶景,又是悟景。它的意象世界極為豐富。山澗雪,花前月,帆邊影,天外雲,令人目不暇接。滿溪春溜的流動,山村醉雪的陶然,寒江獨釣的孤清,秋風鳧雁的幽淡,都化為畫家表達自我情性的語言。冊中造形而不在形,其山川紛披,景物迷離,玲瓏活絡,頗得蹈光躡影、舍幻取真之妙。流連此冊,如走入一個詩國。畫家意不在描繪一個外在世界,而在托出自己鮮活的心靈宇宙。如他的一幅《清江一曲抱村流》,借杜甫“清江一曲抱村流,長夏江村處處幽。自去自來堂上燕,相親相近水中鷗”的詩境,表達自我心靈“自去自來”的從容、“相親相近”的依戀。景少而意多,境淡而味濃。 指墨畫是張揚生命觸覺的藝術。畫不以筆劃出,而以手“摸”出。它通過指甲、指尖、指頭、指背、掌心甚至掌背的運墨,在紙上創造境界,手指的運動,手腕的相隨,手臂的婉轉,十指連心,心手合一,它所帶動的是人整個的生命運動。手直接落於紙素,肌肉的感觸,血脈的親昵,甚至體溫的相融,它是真正的生命遊戲,指畫可以說是“十指下的春風”。禪宗以“如人飲水,冷暖自知”為禪家當行本色,而指畫正是實踐了中國哲學所強調的生命直接性的思想。在這冊山水畫幅中,畫家是以手來作生命的吟哦,在墨意翻飛、天花爛漫之中,傳達的是真切的生命感受,喚起觀者如臨其境的親切生命體驗。 讓我們帶著一份生命的親切,進入崔如琢先生的指墨世界。
