Unique creativity, strong sense of art, clear goals in life, fascinating, interesting and connotation - this is Ma Xingwen, although the most relevant description about him is a "mad" word, but Simon Ma I have seen has been "Keeping madly and seriously," he always knows what he wants. While frantically crossing the border, designing, and doing art, while standing in front of this crazy opposite, I clearly look at my life goals; I love my entire artistic life, and I embrace everything that is worthy of happiness in my life, but here again. Behind the enthusiasm, calmly think about and design the situation when my life is over. The more you play the art, the more crazy and sober, the amazing all-rounder and the unique style of the illuminator.

It has always been difficult to accurately define the image of Simon. It is hard to imagine how cute he is, just as it is hard to imagine how wonderful he is to make his artistic life. His art and design, his music and paintings, our so-called interlaced field rules, all broken down in him, and then he was merged in the name of "Ma Xingwen", he said his name is called cross-border . In order to make his life journey without regrets, he has been exerting his energy in all fields, always maintaining a young mind, maintaining artistic intuition, maintaining business operations, maintaining the creativity of ghosts, and maintaining the enthusiasm of music... His life is like a galloping horse, keep moving, never stop.
This time, Simon Ma has another shocking move. He came to us with his Dragon Horse Love World Tour Exhibition, the amazing Longma imagery, and the dragon horse statue, even the music. All of them are artistically crafted. What is impossible in the art world created by Ma Xingwen?

Throughout the interview, Simon has been active and very talkative. A small question can lead to more logic. For journalists, he is really a good respondent. After the interview, he was invited to participate in Simon. At the dinner party, sitting next to him, he has been taking care of the people around him. At this time, he is obviously a gentleman. After the meal to the second floor of his clubhouse, he led his band to beat the drums and rock. of. How many faces does Ma Xingwen have, you don't know, but no matter which side he sees, it must be a surprise. I sometimes think, maybe this is the most fundamental reason why he is Ma Xingwen. Everything about him has been amazing for everyone.

The speed of speech is slightly faster, the thinking is jumping, the eyes are stunned, and the lips are hung with a sly smile. It is a very pleasant thing to chat with Ma Xingwen. From words to expressions to thoughts, people can feel the infiniteness of his infusion. Endless energy and charm. Speaking of the "Dragon Horse Love" personal exhibition and understanding and expression of art, Ma Xingwen said that he wants to make a "tornado" and roll out the vane of Chinese design and art.
[ Reporter ]: I heard that your "Dragon Horse Love" personal exhibition was opened at the Italian Center of the Shanghai World Expo Center.
[Ma Wenxing]: Yes, I helped Ferrari to do the concept of Longma. I made 20 limited edition Longma's passion version of the car. The dragon represents China and the horse represents Italy. This time I have the opportunity to make a personal exhibition called "Dragon Horse." situation". This exhibition incorporates many very interesting ways of breaking the traditional Chinese calligraphy into portraits. It uses painting and calligraphy to form a new form of brush and ink. It is done by meticulous painting. I like to play and like cross-border. The second exhibition showcases some of the paintings, sculptures, and artworks that I designed for Ferrari with the concept of Longma. In addition, I also made music CDs with the theme of dragon and horse in an artistic way, all of which are original. The third song is music made with the engine sound of 458 (Ferrari). It is very interesting music. In addition, I also made a "Love Letter"... There are quite a lot of thoughts in this exhibition, not A simple exhibition, although my skills are not as good as many painters, the exhibition I made is full of creativity.

[ Reporter ]: Why is the theme of Longma? How to understand the word "情"?
[Ma Wenxing]: This year is the Year of the Dragon. The dragon represents China. The horse represents both Ferrari (car) and Italy, and I am also a surname of Ma. So I chose the "Dragon Horse Spirit" at that time. I used my own artistic technique, blending traditional practices into a new artistic concept. Then there was a donation to the Ferrari Charity Foundation at this exhibition. I have a book called "Love Letter", which talks about the teacher's love, brotherhood, family and many other "loves." I also have some children to help myself, in welfare homes, including children from the Sichuan earthquake. I feel that there is less and less "love" in the whole society. I am very sincere to my friends around me. When I was a teacher, I also taught my students how to behave. I hope that through this exhibition, I will pass this A concept of "Dragon Horse Love", to express some of my understanding and thoughts about "love" to the public, I hope to infect others.
In fact, in the past few years, I want to slowly transfer to art. Under the cross-border situation, I feel that I should better sink my heart and do art. Of course, Ferrari is a highlight of this exhibition, but in the process of cooperation, I feel that as an artist, a cross-border art designer, I can express more things. I want to tell everyone through this exhibition. In addition to the Chinese-Italian culture, besides being a collaboration between Ma Wenxing and a top design brand, there are really many things we should pay attention to, such as the leadership of culture, such as the promotion of art. This meaning is far beyond the reach of money and interests. It is my attitude towards this exhibition. I hope that creativity and design and art can be combined to drive a little more Shanghai's fashion art. Many people now divide art and fashion very well, and some people talk about art factions. Whatever I don't do is a society. "People", I think we should have the responsibility to educate more young artists and designers and drive them to do art together. This is what I have been doing.

[ Reporter ]: So in fact, art can also be fashionable?
[Ma Wenxing]: Of course, art can not only be fashionable, but art can also infect others. This time I created a dragon horse animal, making the dragon horse a new image, invisible and tangible, and also combining some Chinese traditions. Socialization uses a surrealistic approach to art. So the whole exhibition is very creative, not a very rigid Chinese painting. Every picture of these paintings is hooked out, and it takes a lot of time and energy to do it. No matter whether others recognize it or not, I don’t think it is important. I tried my best, used my heart to use love, and used my soul to paint.
[ Reporter ]: I am more curious why you have so many ideas, endless.
[Ma Wenxing]: This is also practiced. It is a part of nature, but natural generation does not mean that you will succeed. Naturally does not mean that you will do well, so efforts are very important, you need to persist, you also need to correct your attitude and values, such as you. Is it for money and interest, or is it for creativity and art?

[ Reporter ]: I heard a lot of people telling you that you are crazy. How do you understand yourself?
[Ma Wenxing]: In fact, the so-called madness is bold to do. There is no right or wrong in the field of art. There are no rules and no directional thinking. Many cultures are people coming out. They are all playing the art. What art do you ask me? I will be difficult to answer the faction. I don't have a faction. I am me. Ma Xingwen, I am doing it casually. Many works of art are my own understanding and expression. Shanghai people say that I am artichoke, but I think My accumulated years in the UK and my experience in the country have allowed me to integrate Chinese and foreign cultures. I think we have a very important task to bring out the real culture and art and drive the fashion world. Including me as a teacher, I also have such a sense of mission when teaching students, but I feel that if we want to go international in the future, it is very important for China to have its own cultural and artistic representatives. Many Italian brands come to Shanghai to find me. Maybe they feel that I have become a bridge of culture. I will combine many foreign elements with Chinese elements. I feel that China lacks its own market. It needs a new culture of its own. Although it develops very quickly, it lacks its own bridge and its own brand. I am working hard to make the "tornado" that I have rolled out, which can promote the development of Chinese design and art.
[About "awake madness" and "seriously play": Tension Ma Xingwen]
Crazy crossover, multiple identities, it seems that there is nothing he dare not try, how should Ma Xingwen's "madness" be understood? When he is fanatically focused on artistic creation, Ma Xingwen is "mad" because this state can give him a lot of creative sparks. From the perspective of macro values, Ma Xingwen’s attitude towards art is extremely serious. The contrast that seems contradictory but can be perfectly reconciled by him makes the artistic tension and soul depth of his works.
[ Reporter ]: Can you talk about the relationship between art and design?
[Ma Wenxing]: In fact, they are inseparable, but it is difficult to balance. It's a bit like the relationship between water and oil – how to mix water and oil into a new interesting and content-oriented thing, it takes a lot of effort, because art is not something that everyone can understand, and design purpose. Very strong. Artists in foreign countries look down on designers because artists feel that they are very commercial, designers do not like artists, and of course our Chinese artists are quite commercial. I have spent many years looking for a balance between the two.
[Reporter]: But you have found this balance now, art, design, business, you are well combined.
[Ma Wenxing]: Because I am doing my art with great care, I think it is like this. To do every project, a new art life culture needs to flow in it, and the works will last for a long time. It is my strength to influence the developer's recognition of your concept and attract them to invest. I will think about how to express a theme to impress others. Maybe my artistic expression is not fully understood by everyone, but only works made by me. With depth and connotation, people can interpret new things from different levels and angles. It is also a good result. Art must be interpreted from multiple angles and levels, but the premise is that the works must have souls, otherwise they will not shine.

[ Reporter ]: So you are not playing art?
[Ma Wenxing]: Half is playing, and most of them are serious to do it well. It is very difficult to play seriously. How to play with color, get out of color, and play with others to recognize you? Many people feel that playing is a very unscrupulous word. In fact, this is not the case. If you play thoroughly and even madly, you can create an unexpected spark of creativity. If you are art, you may not be able to open it, but the attitude must be Be very serious.
