在我国画坛有这样一位画家,他从小就痴迷绘画,少年时期拜师周思聪、黄胄等画坛权威。他钟情于写实人物画的发明,将我国传统水墨技巧和西方造型手法融为一体。他是我国当代写实水墨人物画家的重要代表人物之一,国家一级美术师史国良。
Portrait painting can often have a profound impact as the artist strives to make their subject resonate with the viewer. Chinese ink wash painter Shi Guoliang is a master in this field. He is adept at capturing scenes from people’s daily lives with a photorealistic painting technique.
1956年,史国良出生在北京。从儿时起,他就对绘画发生了浓厚兴趣。尽管家庭经济窘迫,可是爸爸妈妈没有因此而压抑史国良的绘画天分。在自己的尽力和爸爸妈妈的支持下,1973年,17岁的史国良被北京第三师范学校美术班选取,如愿以偿走上了专业学习的路途。
Shi was born in 1956 in Beijing and developed a passion for painting since he was a child. Although his family then was not well-off, his parents were very supportive of his passion.
画家史国良
在北京第三师范学校,史国良第一次获得了体系的美术操练,从素描、水彩到油画、水墨,史国良都孜孜以求地学习,但他画得最好的是速写,由于这门功课不需要太多的物质投入,日子窘迫的史国良只需要一根炭笔,一张白纸,就能描绘出比特时代他心中的艺术国际。
With a talent for art and the support of encouraging parents, Shi was admitted to Beijing No. 3 Normal College to pursue a career as a professional painter in 1973. At 17 he received a solid grounding in art, from sketching and watercolors to oil and ink wash paintings - and he was eager to absorb more.
Quick sketches were his forte at the time, because the course required few materials. With just a charcoal pen and some blank paper, he was able to express his artistic visions freely.
后来,史国良幸运地成为了我国闻名女画家周思聪的学生。周思聪告知史国良发明写实水墨人物画的条件便是要多画速写。所以,史国良一下课就骑车直奔北京火车站,画各行各业来来往往的人物形象。有时还骑车到远郊写生,假如路太远赶不回来,就在户外风餐露宿一晚。吃苦勤勉的操练为史国良培育自己写实人物的风格打下了坚实的根底。
Shi was especially grateful for his teacher at the time, the renowned female painter Zhou Sicong. It was Zhou who showed Shi the importance of doing quick sketches to hone his skills in ink-wash portrait painting. Shi would cycle directly to the nearest train station after class to sketch passers-by from all walks of life. At weekends, he would also travel to the suburbs, searching for more challenging subjects. This intense practice in his early years helped lay a solid foundation for his unique style.
从北京第三师范学校结业后,史国良凭借着厚实的美术根底,成为了一名美术教师。教育相长,他一边教育,一边发明。1978年,史国良顺畅考入中心美术学院国画系研究生班。
他不只要幸得到了叶浅予、蒋兆和等画坛名家的耳提面命,并且成为了我国画艺术我们黄胄的学生。史国良分秒必争地学习,如饥似渴地吸收各种常识。
Shi became an art teacher himself after he graduated, which enabled him to continue his artistic creations. In 1978, Shi was admitted to the Central Academy of Fine Arts to study traditional Chinese painting. During this period, he was able to study under painting masters like Ye Qianyu and Jiang Zhaohe, and finally became a protege of veteran artist Huang Zhou.

在师从了黄胄先生之后,史国良的整个艺术生计发生了质的改变。回想恩师的教训,史国良讲到:“黄胄先生从前说,好的画家也是一个导演,发明的人物,讲的故事要跟你的观众发生共识,这样三组人都构成一种共识的时分,这张画儿就美观。”
Huang once told Shi that a painter must also be a good director. “You must arrange the characters to tell a story that resonates with the viewers. When there’s a resonance between the artist, the viewers and the characters, you get a good painting,” said Shi, as he recalled his teacher’s words.
1980年秋天,学院的结业报告展受到了其时美术界和社会各界高度重视。其间,史国良画的著作《买猪图》捕捉到了正抓猪的一会儿。史国良说自己很喜欢《买猪图》,由于它有情节。他在著作中规划了一个女子在叫猪,手部和嘴部的动作构成了一个连接情节。
In the autumn of 1980, Shi’s graduation showcase made quite a splash in the art community, winning critical acclaim from maestros in various art circles. One of Shi’s creations is "Purchasing Pigs," which depicts the moment of rounding up some swine. “At the bottom was a woman calling out to the pig. Her hand movements were in line with her mouth as she called out to the pig,” Shi explained.

从中心美术学院结业后,史国良被分配到我国公民解放军艺术学院美术系任教。在任教期间,他发明的《访状元》《高蠡暴乱》等著作再次令他声名鹊起。
上世纪八十年代,史国良挑选到海外开展,但随着时刻的消逝,他发现自己的发明几近阻滞,只要回国采风时,那个为了绘画以命相搏的史国良才干持续坚持发明的生命力。史国良意识到国内的风土人情才是他真实的创意来历。
2010年,他决议回到故土北京,持续探究人物画,并连续发明了《幼年往事》、《水龙吟》、《文成公主故土土》等优异写实水墨人物著作。阅历年月洗礼,史国良的写实人物画画风愈加明显,在我国画坛确立了别出心裁的风格与位置。
During the 1980s, Shi sought to base his career overseas. However, he found himself at an artistic standstill and gradually realized that his creative energy lay in China within the vast landscapes and its people.
In 2010, Shi returned to his hometown of Beijing. He believed that only by rooting his creations in the land and the people that nurtured him would he be able to create something truly outstanding.

谈及自己的绘画,史国良讲到:“我对待绘画,对待我所发明的人物,就像谈恋爱对恋人那种厚意,然后发生的创意和成果便是画儿,便是我的著作。”
绘画是史国良终身的崇奉。“我将绘画视为我的终身酷爱。对绘画,对发明的人物以身相许。我把全身心都交给了日子,交给了发明。”多年来,史国良坚持以公民为中心的发明导向,从公民的巨大实践和五光十色的日子中罗致养分,不断进行日子和艺术的堆集,不断进行美的发现和美的发明。
The various twists and turns of Shi’s life journey have condensed into his ink wash portrait paintings. Each one tells a unique story about the country and people he has a deep affection for. “I see painting as my greatest passion in life and I have committed myself to the characters under my brush. I have whole-heartedly devoted myself to both life and the pursuit of art.”
For decades, Shi has persisted in fulfilling his mission as an artist, and he said he will continue to do so, in a bid to document the beauty of the world he lives in for future generations.
