The first is to sketch into the painting. Mr. Fu's works are all collected from real scenes through sketching, and sketching is the best way for him to dialogue with nature. Second, the uniqueness of Mr. Fu's landscape painting is the expression of light and shadow, the light in his works is not realistic natural light, but the light that has been subjectively brightened and sublimated, and it is the expression of the beauty and emotion gained in nature and life. Third, Mr. Fu's landscape paintings draw on a wide range of materials, including the scenery of the four seasons, and the compositions are diverse and the perspectives are unique.

The first is readability, and the audience of Fu Yixin's paintings, regardless of gender, age or age, professional background, professional or non-professional, can see his inner touch. The poet has three realms, one is the realm of enlightenment, the second is the situation, and the third is the realm of painting. There are also three realms in the garden, that is, the habitat, the transformation environment, and the artistic conception. The emoji that Fu Yixin's paintings bring us is the habitat, situation and artistic conception, which depends on the mountains and rivers that he has traveled all over the motherland for many years, and transforms them into poems with his profound literary skills, and then uses pen and ink to express the painting environment that makes him forget to return and has endless aftertaste. ”

Impressions of Mountains and Rivers New Landscapes in PaintingsThe landscape paintings on display in this exhibition are all the feelings of Fu Yixin's life experience, he said: "The impressions of the past life are constantly recalled from my mind, and I have re-energized a desire to create, and I express my life trajectory through landscape paintings. Fu Yixin likes to paint things that others don't paint, and he painted the war eagle rising into the air very early, and Mr. Jin Shangyi expressed surprise and appreciation after reading it.

Guest visits. Xu Qingping, director of the Xu Beihong Memorial Hall, visited the exhibition.
Go deep into the mountains and rivers and sketch with pen and ink
When Fu Yixin was studying at the ** Academy of Fine Arts, Mr. Zong Qixiang was the director of the landscape painting department, and he emphasized to Fu Yixin that painting landscapes must be able to climb mountains. Since then, Fu Yixin has followed this teaching, climbing countless mountains over the decades, and most of them are wild mountains. He said: "I am willing to climb the wild mountain, because in this way I can encounter the special scenery of nature, wind and rain, morning and dusk, thunder and lightning are all the expressions of nature, it depends on whether you can collect it." Be in awe of nature and make friends with it. Nature is a teacher we never learn in our lifetime. Then he talked about pen and ink, "Our slogan is to learn from creation, in fact, everyone is still learning from pen and ink, learning some brush and ink techniques, and turning it into a kind of stylized thing." And nature is so varied that it is by no means something that can be accommodated by a few spectrums. So, I'm going to do an infinite number of gatherings in my life, and I'm going to refine one out of ten, that's my philosophy."
Exhibition view. Landscape garden, poetry and painting combined
Some of the works in this exhibition choose garden themes, and the angles chosen are very different from ordinary sketches. For example, the work "Sad Shen Yuanliu" depicts the artistic conception of Lu You's "Hairpin Phoenix". Fu Yixin said: "The hairpin head phoenix is the most touching lyrics for me, I have been to Shen Yuan twice, and only by visiting in person can I understand the feelings that Lu You wants to express." How do you express this poem in a painting? I designed the scene, composition, character plot and dynamics, and I placed the two protagonists at opposite ends of the willow forest across the lake, expressing the complex mentality of encounter and eternal jue with the back of the heroine Tang Wan hanging her head and leaving. Using the physical language of characters to express psychology is a direction that I have explored in the past few years." Fu Yixin introduced. Chinese cultural traditions are particularly profound, and inheriting excellent traditions is not only about techniques, but also about ideas and spirits. Many painters in ancient times were writers, poets, calligraphers, and even thinkers. "What can't be fully expressed in the picture, I want to convey it further through poetry, which can also be said to be a voice-over, or it can be a different creation. In short, it is necessary to knead poetry and painting together. I admire Su Dongpo's comment on Wang Wei's 'There are paintings in the poems, and there are poems in the paintings.''This should be the highest standard for Chinese painting." Fu Yixin's landscape paintings embody deep poetry, and his poems show rich pictures, he said, "It is generally believed that tranquility is poetic, but in fact, poetry is multi-directional, there are dull, bold, desolate, warm, illusory, simple, these are all poetic, all should be reflected in the painting." In fact, these are the contents of life, and I want to put them on the picture to form an environment that people can ponder, imagine, and beautiful, which is called poetry."
Exhibition view. Feel life and send pen and ink
Fu Yixin believes that it is difficult to get to the step of the painter Shi Tao, you must have a variety of cultivation, have rich knowledge, and try to avoid the composition that is similar to others, "Shi Tao and the traditional painting at that time are not the same road at all, many of his pictures are sketches, most of them are subjects that others do not paint, he gets inspiration from life, finds ways to depict, and considers the arbitrary play of brush and ink, so he has created a lot of new methods, or the form of full circles, which are his inventions." Inspired by the examples I revere, I want to draw one posture, one style, one meaning, and avoid repetition and similarity. Fu Yixin combined his works to tell his experience of sketching in Rhino Village, "The painter's feelings must be integrated into the brush and ink, I hope that the sketch has a sense of reality, the 'life' of sketching is a vivid scene, and it is not called sketching if you write for a long time or the repetition of your own habits." Sketching is much more than just collecting materials, creating them into independent works of art."

Xu Qingping, director of the Xu Beihong Memorial Hall, said during his visit to the exhibition that in the context of the new era, there should be a great breakthrough and progress in Chinese painting. Artistic creation needs to discover beauty from life and express it with unique brushwork, and this new landscape painting is what we are pursuing. "The idea of New Chinese Painting was proposed by my father in 1927 to establish a new teaching method and teaching system to cultivate a new generation of artists with an innovative spirit. Fu Yixin caught up with the good times when he was studying at the ** Academy of Fine Arts". He talked about the backbone of the innovation of Chinese painting, and Mr. Li Hu, Mr. Zong Qixiang, Mr. Li Keran and others formulated a specific teaching program, and went all out to cultivate students who can continue to advance in the field of Chinese painting. Due to Mr. Xu Beihong's contribution to the reform of Chinese painting, landscape painting began to experiment with reflection and light and shadow, and these innovative techniques are the embodiment of the fusion of Chinese painting and Western painting techniques such as Impressionism. Fu Yixin's landscape painting is the inheritance and development of this.
Sad Shen Yuanliu".
In short, Fu Yixin's unique artistic style, the combination of poetry, calligraphy and painting, and his unique treatment of light and shadow paint paint the beauty of life, and also convey his deep understanding and perception of nature and life. Chinese painting has ushered in new opportunities and challenges in the new era, and artists need to continue to explore and innovate, combining traditional Chinese painting techniques with modern aesthetic concepts to create more personalized works with the characteristics of the times. Only in this way can Chinese painting gain higher recognition and status on the international art stage.
At the beginning of the new year, let us walk into the Chinese Garden Museum, and talk about the green waters and green mountains through Fu Yixin's Chinese paintings, and appreciate the majestic China in poetry and painting.
