作品介绍

血火长歌·英魂不灭

“国殇”一词出自《九歌·国殇》，为屈原所作，用以祭奠为国捐躯的将士，象征悲壮与崇高的牺牲精神。

画面以激烈的战争场景展开：旌旗破碎，尘烟弥漫，战马嘶鸣，人群在冲突中交织。前景倒下的士兵与仍在厮杀的身影形成强烈对比，血与土交融，营造出压迫而沉重的氛围。整体以赭色与暗红为主调，通过密集的构图与强烈的动势，呈现出战争的残酷与悲壮。

本作品并非对具体历史事件的再现，人物服饰与兵器融合多种历史元素，属于艺术化处理。画家关注的并非史实还原，而是对“战争与牺牲”这一普遍主题的表达，使作品具有跨越时代的象征意义。

该作品于2006年参加北京保利国际拍卖有限公司成功拍出。

Description

A Ballad of Blood and Fire · The Fallen Heroes Endure

The term “Guo Shang” originates from Nine Songs: Guo Shang, written by Qu Yuan, as a tribute to soldiers who died for their country. It embodies a spirit of tragic grandeur and noble sacrifice.

The painting unfolds through an intense battlefield scene: shattered banners, swirling dust, and neighing warhorses, with figures entangled in violent conflict. In the foreground, fallen soldiers contrast sharply with those still fighting, as blood and earth merge to create a heavy, oppressive atmosphere. Dominated by ochre and deep red tones, the composition employs dense structuring and dynamic movement to convey both the brutality and the solemnity of war.

This work is not a depiction of a specific historical event. The costumes and weapons blend elements from different periods and are artistically interpreted. Rather than pursuing historical accuracy, the artist focuses on expressing the universal themes of war and sacrifice, giving the painting a symbolic meaning that transcends time.

This work was successfully sold at auction by Beijing Poly International Auction Co., Ltd. in 2006.
