张利在画室
“艺术应当使人更加高尚。”这是发自张利心声的共鸣，张利1958年生于北京，76年参军，79考入解放军艺术学院美术系，83年毕业留校任教。现为中国美术家协会会员，解放军艺术学院美术系副教授，作品多次参加国内国际大型展览，并有作品获奖，及被国内外美术馆、画廊和收藏家收藏。
以前我常在画展及画册上看到他创作的作品，其油画风格朴实典雅，为写实主义表现手法，同时也有写意的成分，可谓意象写实主义画风。
近日，我来到位于海淀区张利高大明亮的画室，此时他正在充满真情的创作一幅西藏题材的少女人物油画，他高高的个子，纯朴文静的面容，说话时充满激情和学者气，以及对艺术的热爱。
他对绘画特别的投入，把捕捉到的生活中的真实的情感通过画面表达出来，他常说一幅画首先自己喜欢才能打动观众。确实如此，我深有同感。
艺术大师伦勃朗曾说：“比金钱重要的是名誉，比名誉更重要的是自由。”是啊！放松的心态；自由的艺术；自由的笔触；自由的色彩；自由的空间才能创造出富有生命力的杰作。从张利的作品中可以看出他受古今中外艺术家及思想家的影响。张利在创作时，从来没有烦恼过，他觉得有耐心，有恒心，也开心。他说绘画市场的炒作并不重要，首先要把画画好。其夫人也非常支持他的创作，所以他能够全身心的投入。整体看来张利有些作品达到了前所未有的水平，他以现实主义的方法和浪漫主义的幻想表现了中国少数民族少女美丽动人的形象。他善于用深沉，浑厚的色彩来表现人物的性格。并采取丰富多样的绘画性手法，塑造出形象生动、富有力量的形象。他的画面很少有繁琐的细节描绘，画风刚柔并济，有着非凡的创作性，并富有积极的现实主义精神。
我认为每位艺术家在艺术上都要拿出应该有还没有的东西，独领风骚，并要在作品中注入人文主义精神的活力。
记得著名雕塑家罗丹的老师黎科克曾说：“一幅图画不一定要漂亮，但是他一定要有感情。”张利创作的油画《玉妲》人物肖像更是真挚感情的体现和美丽的化身，也表现了他一直以来对画中人物的眷恋。

Deep-Hearted Devotion-Interview of Oil Painter Zhang Li, Professor with the PLA Art Academy
“Art should make people lofty.” This is deep rooted in Zhang Li’s heart. Born in 1958 in Beijing, Zhang joined the army in 1976 and enter the Fine Art Department of the PLA Art Academy through examinations in 1979. After graduation in 1983, he worked in the academy as a teacher. Now, he is a member of Chinese Artist Association and a professor of the Fine Art Department of PLA Art Academy. His paintings were frequently exhibited in various domestic and international exhibitions and won prizes many times, many of which were collected by domestic and foreign art museums, galleries and collectors.
Previously, I often saw his paintings in various exhibitions and picture albums. His style of oil painting consists realism of unadornment and grace, as well as freehand brushwork style.
Recently, I interviewed him at his large and bright atelier in Haidian District of Beijing. He was working at a painting of a girl in Tibet. The tall and gentle man speaks with excitement and acts in scholar manner, indicating his love to the art.
He throws himself into his painting and likes to express his feelings he collected from real life through painting. He feels, and so do I, that only the paintings that the painters themselves like can touch audiences, and just the paintings that painters do not want to sell are the paintings people want most to buy.
Rembrandt noted that reputation is more important than wealth while freedom is more important than reputation. Yes, only those with relaxed minds, free hand and free color in a free circumstance can create arts with strong vitality and freedom. From Zhang Li’s paintings, we can see that he is influenced by domestic and foreign artist thinking. He said he is never annoyed while painting and he is happy with his patience. According to him, speculations in art market is not important and the first thing first is to paint high-quality paintings. His wife also gives full supports to his work, making sound environment for his painting.
In general, some of his paintings reach his unprecedented high level, expressing the excellent images of women and girls of Chinese minority through his realistic painting style and romantic imagination. He uses deep and thick color to express the characteristics of figures and uses abundant and various methods to create vivid and powerful images. He seldom overelaborates details with great creativity and realism spirits.
I believe every artist should have his or her unique style and inject humanism to his or her paintings.
Augeuste Rodin’s teacher Lecongde Boisbaudran pointed out that a painting is not necessarily beautiful, but it must be a feeling painting. Zhang Li’s paintings embody his sincere feelings and demonstrate beauty, showing his love for the figures in his paintings.

1981: National Fine Art Exhibition.
1982: National Fine Art Exhibition.
1987: National Fine Art Exhibition.
1989: The first China Oil Painting Exhibition. After the exhibition, his paintings was sent to Japan for exhibitions.
1989: The third Asia Fine Art Exhibition. After the exhibition, his paintings were collected in Japanese Fukuoka Gallery.
