Famous comments

Good at painting, high-spirited

-On Liu Liyong's Landscape Painting Creation

Looking at Mr. Li Yong's paintings, it seems that we can have a dialogue with the ancient classic masters, because although his paintings are novel in language, they are noble and full of ancient meanings. This is the inevitable result of Mr. Li Yong's re-examination of the mind of ancient literature based on the living experience of modern people. Therefore, looking at Mr. Li Yong's paintings, our life will be unconsciously injected with noble and elegant life ideas and free and easy and steady life intentions with China cultural attributes.

Generally speaking, Mr. Li Yong's paintings are vivid and never slow down. From his paintings, you can feel that he painted a mountain, a water, a scene and a thing, all of which are the embodiment of his "poetic spirit" with the help of pen and ink. What's important is that if we cut out any part of his works, it will be a very beautiful and relatively complete picture. Li Yong's Home among Green Mountains and White Clouds is such a masterpiece with the attribute of "poem of the soul". From any part of this work, we can undoubtedly see that his pen and ink language itself is a call for historical and cultural spirit, which can lead us to the poetic soul space expressed in Tang poetry and Song poetry. Therefore, looking at Mr. Li Yong's paintings is like looking at a meaningful desk antique, which not only sees the history, but also the mind of literature, and also sees the existence of people's thoughts, feelings and lifestyles related to this cultural relic. In this sense, the pen and ink modeling in Mr. Li Yong's painting is precisely because it bears such a period of history, a literary heart and even people's thoughts and feelings, which makes us feel that the formal language of his painting must be the realization of the "poetry of the soul" recreated by modern people's feelings.

Liu Liyong's landscape is a kind of freehand brushwork, lyrical and elegant expression. His paintings are good at Mo Miao, with clear and accurate formal language, extremely high realm, and the beauty of skillful painting and wonderful mountains and seas. Among contemporary landscape painters, his paintings have really reached a high level. In Mr. Li Yong's paintings, there is always a tendency to point to the sky, which is actually a special language form that leads people to a higher level. In this form, the connotation of form, realm and spirit is vividly displayed, which is the performance of his drama based on mountains and rivers and directed with heart. Therefore, when we appreciate Mr. Li Yong's landscape, a lofty cultural spirit will rise in our hearts.

Liu Liyong's paintings, like the hearty laughter of an upright and charming person, are clear and relaxed. Mr. Li Yong once said, "When I paint, I always feel that I am different." In fact, Mr. Li Yong often "learns from nature" and goes deep into nature, but he chose "temporary painting", which is of great significance. Among them, many ideas and concepts stored in the classic texts of China's ancient paintings are unique at present. When studying the classic paintings, Mr. Li Yong excavated them to guide his painting practice. For example, "Like Mathematics" is a particularly valuable cultural heritage excavated by Mr. Liu Liyong from the classic images of ancient China paintings.

In a word, Mr. Li Yong's paintings are full of natural and prosperous businesses, so when we look at his paintings, his works always seem to grow in our hearts. This shows that Mr. Li Yong has cultivated himself into a person who can understand the subtle truth of China culture through long-term artistic practice. Therefore, he also has a special intelligence beyond ordinary people-this is because Mr. Li Yong can base himself on the cultural context of China, express the exquisite cultural truth he has undertaken and understood as painting, and inject his bright, fresh and energetic temperament into his paintings-so when we appreciate Mr. Li Yong's paintings, we can naturally see that his paintings are as bright as the sun and the moon, and his paintings are as colorful as mountains and seas.

From Mr. Li Yong's works in 2006, such as Impression of Bazhong, Misty Rain in Bazhong and Seeing New Water in Nanxi, we can see that his paintings, every stroke, even the whole shape and posture, are the embodiment of his true spirit. He uses ink as a pen. He can hold it firmly and focus on mountains, rivers, waterfalls and trees, so his paintings can gain its "great virtue of heaven and earth". His works, which have won the "Great Virtue of Heaven and Earth", are ups and downs, clean and neat, and full of charm, with strong muscles and blood in rigidity and Shen Feng in softness, with a strong sense of rhythm. Therefore, the whole work has a harmonious, implicit and vivid aesthetic feeling. Therefore, it can be said that Mr. Liu Liyong's paintings are the product of cultural self-confidence. From his works, we can see that his paintings are not chaotic, his brushwork is free and easy, and the weather is ups and downs without losing the charming and romantic realm. Therefore, Mr. Li Yong's paintings can be regarded as one of the best symbols of China people's cultural identity.

In short, the Book of Changes says: "The size of heaven and earth is called life." This is the consistent cultural concept of China people. In history, someone saw the weeds in front of Zhou Dunyi's window and asked him. Zhou Dunyi replied, "Look up at the bio-meteorology of heaven and earth." This is a neo-Confucianism statement that is often praised by later generations. This language shows that China people attach importance to personnel and natural affairs on the natural avenue. Indeed, Mr. Li Yong undoubtedly has a deep understanding of this. Because, Mr. Li Yong's painting practice shows that his painting creation process is undoubtedly the growth process of a brand-new artistic life as mentioned above-this is Mr. Liu Liyong's creation with distinctive personality based on China cultural tradition, which is most worthy of our cherish and admiration. We believe that he will climb higher artistic peaks in the future as long as the time is ripe.
