| The mythological images in the bricks are vivid and rich artistic images created by the ancient people under the guidance of the idea of immortality,using various techniques.The images of gods and beasts in the bricks contain the idea of "wandering immortality",including the humanistic sentiments of freedom and romance,which are compatible with the idea of "Beyond the word" pursued by people throughout history.Therefore,it is possible to translate the mythological images of the portrait bricks into a symbolic carrier of the metaphorical ideas of "dream" and "freedom" in contemporary brush painting.Some artists have already started to explore and practice in this area,which is manifested in the translation of the classical images in traditional paintings into the artists’ paintings,so as to express the "feelings" of the artists and the "situation" of the real society through the metaphorical function of their specific images.The "Faraway" painting group translates and recreates ancient mythological images such as the feathered man and the divine deer in the portrait bricks,trying to create a mysterious,dreamy and mysterious "faraway" realm that can be hopeful for but cannot be reached with a surreal expression.This is an exploration of the creation of a realm of rest for the soul,and a reflection of the spirit of the pursuit of transcendence for contemporary people who are confined to the difficulties of real life.The translation of the mythological images in the portrait bricks into the image language of contemporary brush painting not only provides new ideas for the creation of brush painting,but also promotes the excellent traditional culture. |
