Born in September, 1950, from Wen 'an County, Hebei Province. Looking at Liu's many calligraphy works, we can always get a distinct "orthodox" impression, but I don't know why. Later, I learned that Liu was from Wen 'an County, and I solved the mystery: Wen 'an is close to Beijing and Tianjin, an old place with a long history and profound cultural heritage. Influenced by orthodox culture, Liu's calligraphy art has been handed down from generation to generation with pure techniques. Of course, the meaning of "orthodoxy" is extremely clear. It is difficult for calligraphers to make "book lists" and "small letters". Why is there such a dilemma? The structure of the list is not well structured, and the so-called vast territory and abundant resources are difficult to grasp. Writing in small print is cramped and tied with a pen, which is not conducive to longitudinal meaning. The list is not easy to accept, and the small letters are not vertical, so both the list and the small letters are works that many calligraphers deliberately avoid, because they are "difficult" and easy to "make a fool of themselves". Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, Liu likes to travel in the mountains. On the basis of all the books, he made great efforts to attack the second one, and the attainments of the second one reached the peak! It really takes more effort and time to practice the list book. Learning the list book is not easy. The key is that the basic requirements for obtaining the list are very high: first of all, you must have the ability to master the correct structure of block letters, as well as Han Licangxiong's ink-painting kung fu and Wang Xizhi's elegant and free-and-easy pen. In order to get the foundation of the book list, Liu suffered, fell in love with Lanting, and integrated the essence of pen and ink to make the book list reach a great realm like a duck to water. Look at the word "tiger" in his list, and you will know the great achievements behind the tiger! The tiger-shaped structure is dominated by cursive script, but if you look closely, it is obviously Tang Kai-style internal strength, imposing and neat. The majestic momentum is the result of block letters. Look at the brushwork again, write with rich and elegant brushwork temperament, then transition to European style and fine beauty, and then transition to Zhao Tiyilian's brushwork. One stroke becomes a tiger, but it is a vertical three-body brushwork, which shows that Liu has a good grasp of the essentials of various brushwork and strong integration ability. Look at Liu's word tiger. If you look at the iron plow moving and breaking ground on the wasteland, the depth is right, and the depth is also a skill. It can be said that the pen makes a fateful effort, and the tiger leans on Wan Li.
See the word "dragon" on his book list, which shows that Yi Long is a natural ink master. China's calligraphy, in addition to the power of writing, should also have the skill of vertical ink. Writing has a pattern to follow, and vertical ink is completely spiritual perception. Only by combining calligraphy techniques can we deeply understand the meaning of ink and make the best use of it. Obviously, Liu is a master who knows the meaning of pen and ink. His mind is full of ink, and he will never spill it if he doesn't wave it. The skill of holding a pen and leaving ink can be ten times perfect. The male ink touches the paper, according to the heart, the dragon head is stable, the dragon body is heavy, and the dragon tail is ethereal. Liu writes dragons with ink, which is better than painting dragons with ink. Dragon means that the ink spirit is born, and the ink flies and the ink floats, that is, the dragonfly dragonfly. Look at its ink color flying, you can get the beauty of artistic conception. Therefore, judging from the word "dragon", Liu's ink application kung fu has reached the highest realm of calligraphy: the ink realm has far-reaching implications and is at its peak, and few people pursue it. Liu is not only good at the word list of dragon and tiger, but also good at calligraphy works with "figurative meaning" because of his word list. People often say that people who can write can draw, and books are more difficult to draw than paintings. In Liu's techniques, calligraphy and painting are integrated. His calligraphy works are novel and beautiful. Look at one of his works, Dragon Walking in the World. The word dragon is tangible and intentional, soaring in Wan Li. Dragon Walking in the World lives on the dragon, like a dragon carrying a heavy burden, which shows the beauty of the work. This is a masterpiece of the ingenious combination of calligraphy art and plastic arts, which embodies Liu's good calligraphy creativity. Another flag masterpiece "Tiger" is also the word formation of "Dragon Walking in the World", which changes the cursive word "tiger" from vertical pen to horizontal shop, and the word "tiger" becomes a tiger shape, which is powerful and powerful. This ability to conceive is also the representative work of Liu Yi's interpretation of ink meaning. This kind of figurative calligraphy works is skillful, innovative, fresh and peculiar, and will be very popular in the art investment market, and its artistic value and investment value should not be underestimated.
