笔墨丹青·珍爱和平——国际和平艺术推选人物宋晓军

宋晓军,笔名频阳居士,中共党员,陕西富平人。当代中国学院派书法家领军者之一,著名学者型书法家、书法理论家、国家高级美术师,高级书法艺术家,中国书法家协会会员,中央国家机关书法家协会会员。

宋晓军出身书香门第,天资聪颖,品学兼优,酷爱书画艺术。在修习历代名家碑帖,经过几十年的刻苦钻研,目前己精通真、草、隶、篆各种书体且擅长行书,并在继承传统的基础上逐渐形成自已的独特风格。

其书法作品字体飘逸俊秀而不失凝重,柔中带刚; 运笔灵动随势,笔法欹险多变,点画生动妙趣横生,书法气韵,下笔婆娑,百势横生,萧散秀逸,骨力中涵,在使转顿挫间现正侧藏露之娴熟,于疾徐纵横时抒胸中逸气之豪迈。浓墨处见厚重,淡墨处之飞白,秀雅萧疏之神采。其墨韵不论浓淡干湿,皆是着墨从容,得一气呵成之畅快。论字势,看似散淡,漫不经心,信手布构的拈来之巧,实则是将章法化隐其中,使人不能观见刻意之留痕,而让整体韵致在承传中耀展深邃而和谐之悠远意境。

宋晓军现任西北大学国际唐代文化研究中心中国古代书法理论研究所所长,中共中央党校“全国思想政治工作科学专业委员会”特邀研究员、理事,《中国思想政治工作年鉴》西北编辑部主任,国家人力资源与社会保障部艺术家学部委员会一级艺术委员,中国翰墨大家编辑委员会主任,中国国家现代艺术研究中心高级研究员,陕西扶贫教育集团学术委员会主任。

2008年成功组织策划了纪念毛泽东同志诞辰115周年全国书画大展并担任首席专家评委;2009年担任庆祝建国60周年陕西省首届公务员书画展专家评委。2012年入选《走进中国艺术大师》一书,被国家级出版社以中英文双语出版发行;2013年入选《艺术楷模》人民最喜爱的艺术家,由中国文联神州杂志社出版;2013年同范曾先生同书《名家名作》、最具影响力的中国艺坛两大家一书。自撰“长城中华颂歌”56字诗文以宋晓军个人书法入选长城石刻,还多受邀赴京为有关中央国家机关挥毫作书。

宋晓军先生的书法创研,虽说已硕果累累,但依然孜孜不缀于伏案笔耕,细细揣摩于书法精髓。其书艺人生也将在不止研索的道路上绽放得更加灿烂辉煌!
