Poetry and painting are emotional
Appreciation of Liao Hongyu's Chinese paintings.
The text carries the Tao, the poem is the word, and the painting is the emotion. Calligraphy and painting have been elevated to a higher spiritual level from the early memorization to the decorative, and have become an important part of human civilization with the continuous development of human civilization.
Liao Hongyu has loved painting since childhood, and after getting tired of the ups and downs of the business world and appreciating the prosperous vicissitudes of the world, the art of painting has become her way back to her heart. In the spiritual realm of painting pleasure and self-pursuit, she gradually clarified her goal direction and lifestyle. Enrich yourself with a normal heart, show yourself with truth, goodness and beauty, day after day, vertical and horizontal brush and ink, intensively cultivate and diligently pursue in the field of Chinese painting and calligraphy. Being good at thinking is its greatest advantage, and being diligent in learning is the key to its success. She has talent and pursuit, does not pursue profit, does not blindly follow, dares to practice, and is good at learning, which makes her advance by leaps and bounds in the realm of calligraphy and painting.
Her works, with one touch, are poetic and leisurely; A bird and a butterfly, innocent; One flower and one leaf, infinite philosophy. The beauty of his paintings is also like his people: smart but not delicate, fine but not superficial, graceful but not kitsch, beautiful but not ostentatious.
Although Liao Hongyu is one of the newcomers, his fresh and elegant, casual workmanship, and poetic style of painting have gradually emerged in exhibitions at all levels, and his works have won many awards. What is commendable is that she is still able to maintain a clear mind and a rigorous and serious attitude. Her paintings are based on traditional culture and integrate Chinese and Western cultures, which not only harmonize the relationship between black, white and gray, but also flexibly apply many elements of points, lines and planes, consciously or unconsciously to achieve the effect of gathering and scattering, sparse and appropriate, and in the dialectical unity of form and spirit, void and reality, existence and non-existence. Looking at his paintings, "feeling flowers and birds and being affectionate", "provoking Fangfei to bathe in spring".
The art road is long, the sea of painting is endless, I wish Liao Hongyu, a young female painter, can go further and fly higher in her future creations!
