Criticism of art
Li, a water conservancy talent
Suzhou is a charming poetic water town, which has produced countless literati since ancient times. Anyone who has been to Suzhou is deeply impressed by the quaint quadrangles in China, as well as the back alleys and canals shuttling between arch bridges, markets, restaurants and tea shops. More from ancient China, it still exudes a classical flavor. It has a noble and elegant side, but also a poor and broken side.
Therefore, when you walk in Suzhou, you can see people in China, such as selling, shouting and boxing ... and they are not from China. The smell of vegetables, urine and powder ... mixed with peculiar smell. The toilet at the door of every household in the old city has become a strange scenery! The buttonwood trees all over the street, covered with clothes and underwear, can feast your eyes, just in line with what China people say, "China Street is not if you don't make trouble". When you cover your nose and are in a hurry to leave these streets with ten thousand flags, you occasionally see classical beauties dressing up through the window corner, the powder fragrance wafts in the wind, and the musty smell of urine is swept away ... No wonder Kyle Polo from the ancient west came to Venice in the east and was intoxicated in the gentle village of Suzhou beauties in the east.
Walking into the deep courtyard of some ancient houses in Suzhou, you can still vaguely feel the mysterious and elegant, exquisite and elegant, conservative and comfortable, self-contained small kingdom atmosphere belonging to the East. Its architectural pattern and taste are quite different from the open courtyards in the west, and some clues can also be seen from the differences in personality between the east and the west. I recently revisited Suzhou, and the changes were amazing. Many buildings and elevated buildings have been built, and the inherent humanistic characteristics of the ancient city have also lost a lot. It seems that it is not easy to solve the problem of preserving tradition and developing modernity.
Li is from Suzhou. He knows the details of Suzhou city and the character of Suzhou people better than outsiders. The Suzhou water town he painted shows the inherent feelings of water town in his bones. His skillful skills honed by long-term efforts combine China's ink painting with western watercolor techniques, so that the pure English overlapping method keeps pace with China's ink painting rendering method, resulting in a solid, steady and stirring visual aesthetic feeling. More than ten years ago, Li, who was in his prime, made his mark in painting with his chic and fluent formal style. He is a painter with great potential. He is also a man who is uneasy about the status quo in art and has the courage to constantly adjust his artistic state in the process of exploring the true meaning of art, just as his watercolor art is maturing and has a bright future. Suddenly made a decision that ordinary people can't imagine and understand-give up watercolor and switch to oil painting. As the saying goes, Li is confident and dare not make such a choice. After years of tempering, look closely at his oil paintings, which are rough and bold, smooth and gorgeous. It not only shows good modeling ability and color control ability, but also does not lose his unique style as an excellent watercolor painter.
Li's artistic path is not smooth. He does not belong to the traditional academic painter. He teaches art in the Academy of Fine Arts now, but he didn't come from the Academy of Fine Arts. His harvest today stems from his long-term tenacious self-study and clever talent. It is not difficult to imagine its ups and downs, and this is particularly commendable. I believe that with the passage of time, with the continuous enrichment and enrichment of his life experience and artistic experience, his artistic achievements will be further improved!

Take you to the Sound of Flowers.
-Appreciation of Li's oil painting "Flowers" series.
In the series of works "The Sound of Flowers Blooming", the author praised the life tension of flowers in the form of close-ups, and showed its unique personality details in the ever-changing flowers with smooth and affirmative strokes, which seemed to be mumbling about the feelings of flowers sprouting quietly in their hearts. On the other hand, the color of the background space is bold and vague, which forms a strong visual shock with its mottled and ethereal dream effect and the flower theme full of the painter's life performance. Spontaneous and in-place brushstrokes and slightly exaggerated morphological expressions present simple and vivid fashion elements, and in the crystal light and shadow, they play the song of life, showing YueYang's strong, unrestrained and passionate aesthetic taste.
The author named this series of works "The Sound of Flowers Blooming", which itself contains a kind of poetic romance that is difficult to define and imagine. Does the flower have a sound? If so, what kind of sound would it be?
Sound of spring! That unstoppable vitality, that budding youthful vitality, that meticulous, gentle and soothing voice, like a whisper between lovers, is long and charming; In fact, in the world, everyone is a flower, with a blooming process and a unique flower language. When we listen to the sound of flowers, we are not only discovering and praising the beauty of this individual life, but also recalling a beautiful moment of our youth.
An essayist put it well: "A person is happy to hear the sound of flowers blooming. Because the moment of flowering can fully show the most secret but also the most beautiful side of things, let you experience surprise and pleasure, and enjoy the beauty and eternity of poetry. " It is through wonderful pictures that Mr. Li conveyed to people the joy and touch when listening to the flowers bloom, and touched a long-lost breath of time.
