“ Mathematics is very interesting , It's so interesting that I don't think it's interesting for me to live .”

“ The composition in the morning let me talk about the future , Afternoon math let me know , I don't deserve a future .”

“ Two pieces of draft paper were issued for the math exam , It's so sweet , I cried for an hour and a half , Wiping tears is just enough .”

The candidates have just left the examination room ,# College entrance examination mathematics #、# College entrance examination mathematics volume B #、# Have you finished the last math question in the college entrance examination # More than ten topics related to mathematics were put on the front row of the hot search , The topic squares are filled with grief , College students gathered around to join in the excitement , Even Wei Shen, a mathematical genius of Peking University, is still hot .

Some netizens make fun of ：“ We are praying that God Wei will be possessed during the exam , Instead of letting Wei Shen attach to the paper .”

The reason why people worship Wei , Because most people keep away from mathematics , It seems like a piece of cake under his command . Different from Chinese , Even if you are not sure , Just read , There is still room to play . Mathematics is a completely objective subject , Fixed answer , no confusion , No, it's not .

Like I like dancing 、 Sing a song 、 Love mathematics as much as playing the piano , What kind of experience ？ Many people regard mathematics as a nightmare , I'm afraid I can't understand . however , Today we specially invite artist tangmingwei , Through his creation , I hope you can see the magic of mathematics .

As he said ：“ Mathematics is an art in itself .”

# Select Art , I also miss math

Tangmingwei has two interests , One is mathematics , One is painting .

In Kindergarten , He showed great interest in mathematics . At the teacher's request , The children strung ten sorghum stalks into a string , Learn to add and subtract within ten . At that time , Tangmingwei has ten strings of such sticks in his schoolbag , It's full , Soon , He has mastered addition and subtraction within a hundred .

In junior high school , He is obsessed with the problems of the Olympic mathematics contest , Buy your own materials , Plunge into it , As long as it is the topic he has done , Will be listed on various solutions . Some difficult problems , As he walks 、 having dinner 、 It occupies his brain when he sleeps . He was immersed in those twists and turns , Enjoy the sense of accomplishment that makes things easier .

Leonardo da Vinci's masterpiece 《 The Mona Lisa 》

In second grade , From the mouth of the art teacher , Tangmingwei knew Leonardo for the first time · reach · Finch （Leonardo da Vinci）, This genius with great artistic talent deeply aroused his interest in painting , Since then, he began to copy the illustrations in Chinese textbooks . After entering junior high school , He received a comprehensive study of art , At that time, the art teacher praised that his painting level had surpassed that of many art students .

His parents have always supported his hobby , Until senior three , Tangmingwei proposed to take an examination of the Academy of fine arts . They don't understand , A comprehensive knowledge of science can lead to 280 More than , mathematics 140 The children of the division , Ming Ming can show his strength by virtue of his achievements in cultural studies . In their view , Enter a well-known science and engineering college , Enter scientific research institutes after graduation , This is his way .

obviously , It's just the parents' idea . Tangmingwei doesn't believe “ Fish and bear paw , You can't have both. ”, Enter science and engineering colleges , Devoting himself to scientific research means that he may no longer have the opportunity to improve his artistic attainments . But if you choose art , As long as he likes , You can still continue to study mathematics .

2004 year , Tangmingwei was admitted to the oil painting department of Sichuan Academy of fine arts .

# Mathematics and art blend perfectly

Tangmingwei is very sorry , None of the public courses he could choose had anything to do with mathematics , Most of the students in this major are liberal arts students . Oil painting seems to have nothing to do with mathematics , At the beginning, I thought that both could be taken into account , I didn't expect the moment when I chose my major , He actually cut himself off from mathematics .

Is there really no way ？ Tangmingwei is not reconciled .

Mondrian's works 《Composition A》,1923

Sophomore year , Under the teacher's introduction , He knew Peter, the pioneer of geometric abstraction · Cornelis · Mondrian （Piet Cornelies Mondrian）. The artist worships the beauty of straight lines , It advocates that we can observe the interior of all things through right angles , Geometry is the basic element of his painting . A stroke is a stroke , The question that has been puzzling Tang Mingwei has been answered . before , He tried performance art 、 Landscape painting and other creative methods , But this time he found his faith —— Geometric abstract art , This is undoubtedly the best way to combine art and Mathematics .

When tangmingwei created the first batch of geometric abstract works , It is drawing on canvas with a compass and ruler , Then take pictures of each part with the camera . But this did not achieve the desired effect , He wanted the beauty of absolute precision . therefore , He began to teach himself various drawing software , use CAD Draw lines and draw pictures , Import CORELDRAW In bold , Then import PS Color processing , Finally, it is printed on the canvas with high precision , This way of writing he continued until 2008 In the first half of .

《36 Balance B》

At that time , Tangmingwei even used block geometry to paint landscapes , Geometric abstract painting has become his appeal to artistic ideas 、 An important means of expressing the world outlook .

Tang Mingwei's early artistic creation was presented through the combination of the main body of the picture and the hidden shadow under a relatively single background , Basically, it is a stable triangular composition and circular composition , The picture pursues a kind of visual quasi symmetry .

later , He wants to transform the accuracy of the content of his works into the accuracy of the form , He thought it would be more valuable in art . Oil painting materials 、 Comprehensive materials , He made various attempts , But we still can't find the fitting point . A chance , He prints his work in a printing shop , Because the black-and-white printer is out of order , The printed picture is partly black and partly white , Even one or half of them have no color . But this mechanical error excited him ： The printed picture has a sense of hierarchy , Mechanical traces have a special aesthetic feeling . So he used a ruler and gauge to restore the mechanical work , Because artistic intuition and emotion permeate the picture , So the work naturally has the spirit . Soon , These works have been fully affirmed by other teachers , Since then, he has strengthened his thinking of geometric abstract creation .

# Mathematics broadens the boundaries of art

Tang Mingwei's creation was inspired by Mondrian geometric abstract painting school , But he found , The former geometric abstract artists in the west only expressed rational aesthetics , Simply create with geometry as an element , They didn't study mathematics very deeply .

“ The field of mathematics is broad and profound , The deeper you study, the more surprises you will get . An advanced formula , A more advanced algorithm , It often brings you a supreme artistic experience ！” In order to visually present this aesthetic experience , He taught himself mechanical engineering and automation 、 Courses such as linear algebra .

“ You may have learned 100%, In the creation, only 0.1%, But you still have to do this . Inspiration may appear in the process of your study , Even if you can't find inspiration , Your efforts will come in handy one day , Maybe your next creation .” With the popularization of the Internet , Various course platforms on the network are the base for tangmingwei to improve his knowledge , In addition to math related courses , He also dabbled in programming , He wants everyone to see his work , You can see the beauty and charm of mathematics .

In tangmingwei's works , You will see a vertical line 、 Level 、 Various lines such as slashes and arcs , You will also see triangles 、 Square 、 Various geometric shapes such as polygons and circles . He also transplanted the rectangular coordinate system in analytic geometry directly onto the picture . He added color to his creation , Usually use light blue 、 Light grey and light brown , thus , The whole picture presents a harmonious and unified coolness , The addition of color makes the characteristics of instrumental rationality more distinct .

《 Circle NO.4》

In Mondrian and Casimir · Sevenovic · Malevich （Kazimir Severinovich Malevich） Under the influence of geometric abstract painters , Inspired by the new calibration group in China , After 16 years of exploration and practice , Tangmingwei's geometric abstract works have already become a school of his own . It is different from the West which blindly pursues the simplification of work form and the planarity of space , He regards geometry as the carrier of logic , Pursue the aesthetic feeling brought by accuracy . He enriched the geometry by drawing projections “ form ”, Create more possibilities for geometric abstract painting . Wangduanyan, a researcher at the Institute of fine arts of the Chinese Academy of art, calls this style of creation “ Post geometric abstract painting ”.

“ Many children are repelled when they talk about mathematics , In fact, our education is not enough .” According to tangmingwei , Learn mathematics with artistic thinking , Even the simplest symbols will become interesting , But our current aesthetic education has not kept up with , Some art courses in primary and secondary schools cannot be fully guaranteed , Mathematics is almost just a test tool for children to enter higher education .

He said ：“ What matters is not mathematics , It's about cultivating children's mathematical thinking , No matter what job you are engaged in , Mathematical thinking is of great benefit to their growth . Many international mathematicians feel that what they do is not mathematics , It's Art . Mathematics and art are full of creativity , The two are interlinked .”

In the face of the emerging 90 after 、00 The strong competitiveness of post artists , Tangmingwei, who has been doing geometric abstract painting for 16 years, has been seeking new breakthroughs . In this issue 《 Yu Xiang 》, He brought his latest creation . It is different from the rationality and order of other series of works ,《 Microcosmic 》 Series are generated by code , The picture based on the extension of the geometric range gives the mechanical elements emotional expression .

Contemporary art is never a simple dualistic opposition between reason and sensibility , The ultimate sensibility and the ultimate rationality can also form a visual equivalence . Tangmingwei started from such artistic creation means , And today's digitalization 、 The timeliness of big data directly replaces the environment of the previous industrial era and forms an eternal echo .
