大块文章（彩墨）

这是早些时候有一段时期我用“色块”做画面处理的作品之一。

我尝试这种构图的作品其实不少，只是不敢拿出来发表，因为有朋友到家里来，看到这种大红大绿大紫的山水，往往“目瞪口呆”。有些人能“稍加认同”；有些人则认为这种画“大逆不道”，说中国画被我们这批人给害惨了，旁门左道，根本不是水墨画了。

为什么一定要画“纯种”的中国画？

保留纯种、延续传统，互相抄袭，一成不变，难道就是水墨画的正途吗？

A Natural Monument/ink and color painting

This is one of the earlier works during the time when I was using blocks of color in my paintings.

I actually attempted to use this kind of composition in many paintings. I don’t dare to show them off, though, because my friends always stand there with their mouth agape-stunned when they see a landscape painting with outrageous colors like these. Some people “can get into it a little,” but others consider it treason, and say that people like me have destroyed Chinese painting. They feel that it is ranked heresy, and is by no means ink and wash painting.

Why should I be forced to produce only “purebred” Chinese paintings?

Is it the right path for ink and wash painting to preserve purebred tradition, engage in mutual plagiarism, and never change?＠
