Fan Chang Tien 范昌乾

Literati artist Fan Chang Tien was born in 1907 in Guandong’s Jieyang, China. After graduating from the Xinhua Academy of Fine Arts in Shanghai, in 1928, Fan then became a renowned artist in Guangdong China.
Fan was instrumental in the flourishing of a new Shanghai School of Art here in Singapore by propagating its creativity and diversity. This is evident in the many different individual styles of contemporary ink works from his students. This ink art has a direct lineage from the Shanghai School of Art grandmaster Wu Chang Shuo (1844-1927) who modernised Chinese ink art by infusing radiant colours to the mainly black and white traditional ink paintings.

他1907年出生于中国广东揭阳富商之家,1928年毕业于上海新华美术学院,少年时代已脱颖而出,蜚声广东艺坛。他曾在授艺期间开设美术学校,1947年由中国政府派遣赴泰国,向当地华侨募捐,为修建被战火摧毁了的师范学院而筹款 。

不料正值居留曼谷之际,中国内战爆发并速恶化,导致他家破人亡,双亲以及兄弟的家人被诬为地主,受尽迫害。范孑然一身,接下来的七、八年间(1948-1956)流落曼谷。他那时就在曼谷结识了画家张大千。

范昌乾于1956年来到新加坡时已49岁,与新加坡接生护士王修龄结婚。王氏在马里士他路经营一家驰名的妇产科药房,由于经营有方,为范先生艺术上执意追求,提供了良好经济条件。她还在马里士他路设立了一间名为“素兰室”的画室,让先生在那里收徒无偿教授水墨画。

范先生在新加坡生活的31年期间,始终淡泊于名利,尤热衷于古典诗词,若有所感触,辄赋诗以遣怀。

对于传授水墨画的工作,范先生倾全力以赴,抱着循循善诱、诲人不倦的态度,教导学生传统绘画技法外,也传扬中华文化之精义与核心价值,终于培养出新加坡新一代的杰出水墨画家和导师。范昌乾常教导学生应该追寻自己的艺术道路,所教授的学生有赖瑞龙、林家雄、陈有炳、陈绍易、黄碧云、李淑芝、刘恽、陈克湛、以及已故的林子影与文化奖得主蔡逸溪。

范先生是海派绘画艺术在新加坡兴盛发展、创新而至发扬光大的关键人物。这一点可见于他众多学生展现不同的风格,各自发挥当代水墨画的才华。本地的水墨艺术可溯源自海派大师吴昌硕(1844-1927),于传统黑白水墨画里融入鲜艳色彩,以达到水墨艺术现代化的目的。
