Mr. Zhu Qian, president and editor-in-chief of Art and Design, the main periodical of China's design art, described and evaluated him in the article Folk Taste-Li Shaobo's Works.
I haven't met Li Shaobo yet. The first time I met him was at the "First China Design Art Exhibition" held by us. The judges awarded him a gold medal for his work. Later, I went to Hunan Normal University. At that time, he was not the deputy director of the department and went to Shenzhen. I made some phone calls, but I haven't seen you.
Xiao Yong turned to Shao Bo's works and found them very beautiful, very beautiful. Shao Bo's works are different from those of foreign masters, not so steep, but quiet. His works are extremely gentle and serene, bright and refreshing, solemn and lofty. Sometimes, noise and excitement, and sometimes some moans are washed away in Shao Bo's works. Xiao Yong said: "Shao Bo's works show elegant character and exquisite beauty. The concept of design has more affinity for elegant and popular tastes than for high and low music. A designer with basic skills can convey beauty and information in simple language. Symmetrical and balanced composition and layout rules are the most representative of Shao Bo's works, which fully embodies his steady and mature personality. In his works, he still feels freshness and spirituality, especially the use of traditional elements. The use of symbols and graphics is ingenious and elegant, and they are elegantly integrated in the visual contrast and unified tone. For example, a cup of strong tea has an endless aftertaste. " I think it's right.
However, there will be some apocalypse when there are few things. I was thinking that Shao Bo once stood in front of the capital-Shenzhen, but there were few neon lights, tall buildings and fluorescent colors in southern cities. But there are always some jasper lingering and natural landscapes, and he is rarely influenced by Shenzhen. He comes from Changsha, which is full of talented people. The image words infected by Fu Ling in Central and South China can't be washed away by him ... Maybe Shao Bo is the one who is always homesick and wandering in homesickness. I heard that Shao Bo returned to Changsha. It seems that the action of life is full of "coming and going" and "going and coming". Works such as "People" cannot be separated from emotional and physical protection.
I can't talk about Shao Bo's works without a central plot, which is the process from "art" to "business" and from "business" to "art". There are many people in "art" and "business". When designers shuttle back and forth between art and business, you will see that business is so prosperous, so attractive and so rich. When he was addicted to art, he felt that it was the raindrops under the eaves, the fog in the fields, the sunshine on the hillside, the fragrance of tea on the table, and the handsome faces of people … all so happy. People who only know business may not enjoy the enjoyment brought by art, but Shao Bo shuttles back and forth between art and business and between Shenzhen and Shanghai. Perhaps Shao Bo's position has not been firmly established, but I think you can't deny the reason for coming because of going, and you can't give up your desire to go because of coming. Perhaps only in this way can you find endless and endless life situations.
By the way, I know from Shao Bo's resume that he is thirty years old. Although this age is a little young in the position of vice president, according to China, 30 years old is a very important theme in life. At the age of 30, Shao Bo looked back at himself and published his satisfactory works in a magazine, only to see the flavor from Hunan.
