Mondo Science Updated on 2024-02-14

Yu Song, a native of Hecheng, has passed the age of four and five, and when the world is not a mountain or a mountain, it is quite an embarrassing age for life.

Although Yu Song is middle-aged, he has studied painting for many years and has his own experience. In his early years, he entered Guangyi, studied under Chen Yupu, and saw the works of the four kings of the early years, but he felt full of paper and books, and his heart was greatly impressed.

After graduating from university, in order to survive, he went deep into the people, designed and decorated, and won a handful of banknotes and profound experience after ten years of hard work. The ups and downs of life, the truth and falsehood of the world, open up more insights for it. During this period, I naturally did not forget to lay paper and paint, did not forget to think artistically, and knew that money was not my purpose, and painting was true love.

Yu Song returned to the art garden and spent several years tracing the masterpieces of the old masters, under the tutelage of Deng Jiade, a teacher at the National Academy of Painting. Study in Beijing, broaden your knowledge, and realize your own meaning in the tradition. Two years ago, he worked at the Guangxi Academy of Fine Arts, and every year his works were selected for the Guangxi Art Exhibition and won awards. In the first year, he painted chickens, the next year, ducks, and mountains and rocks in the third year. Although it is a traditional theme, the composition, ink, and color all have new ideas, so they can be favored by the judges. The painting of chickens is divided into three layers, the foreground is painted with thick ink, the middle scene is painted with a freehand color of the turtle back bamboo, and the back scene is separated by a fence, and there are light ink flocks of chickens passing through it, closely echoing with the foreground, a harmonious image. Painting ducks for a group of ducks playing in the water, open composition, from the back to the front, the expression is relaxed, the posture is different and integrated, deeply contains the spirit of the times.

The Chinese painting "Stone Breaker" was selected for the 12th National Art Exhibition in 2014. The painting is the Yingshan stone, Yu Song repeatedly went to Guangdong to sketch, when painting, it can be said that it became a "stone" in the chest. In the painting, the shape of the boulder is majestic but not empty, the posture is open but not crowded, and the ink color is draped but not complicated. There are those who live in the dark, those who bravely go to the sun, those who hold high and proud, those who support each other, those who struggle, and those who resist vigorously, which is just the ...... of people's hard work and tenacity

At the same time, "One Family on Both Sides of the Strait" was selected for the 5th Youth Art Exhibition; "Nanshan Xiushi" won the Excellence Award of the Wannian Pujiang National Landscape Painting Exhibition. His works are full of composition, hearty brushwork, full of visual tension, and very much the spirit of the times. His technique seems to have existed in ancient times, but his brushwork is indeed unique to the painter. To be able to inherit the tradition and bring forth the new in this way, it has gradually reached the realm of "looking at the mountain or the mountain". The painter's painstaking efforts over the years, and the many explorations of seeking innovation and change, the viewer can think about it!
