Liu Huaiyong's works
As far as flower-and-bird painting is concerned, Liu Huaiyong has roughly experienced three stages: learning from tradition, learning from nature and learning from nature. Therefore, his freehand flower-and-bird painting is full of learning, pen and ink and charm, and won the essence of traditional literati painting. His paintings have Xu Wei's pride, but they are unambiguous; There are eight great pleasures, but neither cold nor lonely; It is as hot as Wu Changshuo, but it does not wither; It has the charm of white stone, but it doesn't harden.
In a word, the aesthetic pursuit of "brightness, harmony, profundity and naturalness" and the creation of the language world by the masters of past dynasties are the transcendence of "modern thinking" over the "traditional thinking" of pen and ink, and the value of "courage". Contemporary China painters in Liu Huaiyong are good at flowers and birds, landscapes, calligraphy and seal cutting, and attach importance to and actively participate in the research of artistic theory.
