Art evaluation
Memory feeling
20 13 Many works painted in Jiangnan have not been immersed in the same theme for so many years as Mr. Yang Mingyi. He will become a painter with a single theme in art history. Mr. Yang Mingyi's painting language has become very proficient. Every bridge he painted, his brushwork and painting method changed. It can't be simply said that he is painting Chinese painting. He uses perspective and western painting to deal with the scene and integrate it into the ink scale. You see, even if there is a bridge in China's classical picture, it is not in this form.
The best place for the sadness of life and time is to turn it into art. The sadness that art gives you is not sentimentalism, but lyrical and internal, just like 100 poem. Poetry is easy to get hurt, but it has become a poem and a space of paper, which can be recalled constantly. Once you can understand this poem, it belongs to you. Don't go away. Painting, music and literature should not be sentimentalism. Once this painting causes your sadness, it must have become art, which is another level of sadness: it has become beauty, poetry and memorable, which can exist in life and will not disappear. This is why people need art.
In fact, this is the relationship between art and painters. Art is more fascinating than nature and memory. I believe that one day everyone will suddenly find that when you go to Jiangnan and go to a small town, you can't find Jiangnan: this is the persuasiveness of Baiqiao map! It may be more convincing geographically than Jiangnan. The north may also be a contrast, affectionate northerners, who will retain their respect and affection for Jiangnan. This is a turbulent time. Like Mr. Yang Mingyi and some ancient building protectors, they will try to leave something behind in the drastic changes and the dust of demolition, turn it into painting, and let art retain memories. (Chen Danqing)
Grand and meaningful
The style, breath and style of Mr. Yang Mingyi's works are quite unique. It is a typical feature of Jiangnan poetry and painting, and it is mature in painting language, expression and ink painting techniques.
Just looking at the work, I think the author must be a gentle southerner. Seeing him, I feel a little Indian, rough and simple, with a strong northerner's characteristics, dark skin, and some contrast with his works is very interesting. It can be seen that the artistic sense in this strong man's heart is delicate and poetic. It should be said that artists' works are basically natural and difficult to make. For more than ten years, his works are consistent, faint and hazy, and are constantly improving and sublimating, constantly improving formal language and style expression techniques, and can stand appreciation and aftertaste.
There are many kinds of artists who are omnipotent and express grand narrative themes. There are experts who stick to traditional pen and ink and pay attention to artistic noumenon, as well as persistent artists with deep cultural consciousness, a certain sense of mission and obsession. Yang Mingyi is one of the happiest painters who can put all these things together. His works show delicacy, exquisiteness and pure beauty in grand narrative. (Feng Yuan)
