Liu was influenced by the calligraphy style of Nanping, a famous Confucian scholar in the late Qing Dynasty, and received the biography of his teacher Chen Zhenchuan. In addition, his painting style is different from that of Guan Shanyue and Li Xiongcai, the main disciples of No.2 Middle School, and he is unique among Lingnan painting schools.
Painting with books is full of vigor and vitality.
Liu Zeng said in "Preface to Painting Collection": "The teenager is a learning period, printing a book, writing the scenery really, and reciting Tang poetry and Song poetry diligently, which makes Mo Yun refined at the bottom of the pen." Liu won the true meaning of the homology of painting and calligraphy. His paintings have no intention of inheriting the re-rendering of Lingnan painting school and the technique of hitting powder with water, but deliberately seek momentum with composition, see the charm of writing, and reflect each other with pen and ink. No matter the middle, the side, the oblique and the reverse, it can penetrate the back of the paper, and it is the forerunner of Lingnan painting school to consciously return to the tradition of pen and ink. His works, such as landscape painting "The Whole Picture of Song Guming" and flower-and-bird painting "A Thousand Miles Map", are vigorous and concise, and they are bold and colorful in Mo Yun, showing everyone's atmosphere. No wonder the executive vice chairman of China Artists Association commented in "Liu Hua Ji": "Liu Jiaoshou's rich and meticulous brushwork is really rare in Lingnan painting school."
Mr. Liu Lao, who is old, told the author that he repeatedly studied the axe chopping of Ma Yuan and Xia Gui in the Southern Song Dynasty and the ink splashing method of Wang Qia in the Tang Dynasty, trying to make his works more incisive and create a new page for Lingnan painting school.
The bone pen is linear.
Mr. Chen once said: "Composition is the most important part of painting, which belongs to the aspect of formal beauty, the organization of lines, the coordination of forms and the distinction between light and shade." Every morning, Liu has to learn the "old lesson" of practicing pen and ink from the teacher, and master the strength, weight, density, movement, dry and wet changes of brush lines skillfully. Like his teacher's works, most of his paintings are mainly lines and few rubbings. In giving full play to the expressive force of lines, sometimes he uses a pen to disperse the front to enhance the sense of vicissitudes and richness of the picture. His work "On the Nile" won the "Asian Art Award" in South Korea. It is depicted with bold lines and has a strong writing atmosphere. His new work "Uncle Peak" and "In Full Bloom" has brought the tension of lines to the extreme, whether it is thin double hooks or bold and boneless. Whether it is thick red cotton or light green bamboo, the lines can be harmonious and unified.
Nature gives love to teachers.
Mr. Chen believes: "Sketching is the basis of painting. You can sketch, and then there is something in the picture. " He practiced the artistic life of "reading thousands of books and walking Wan Li Road" all his life. Liu learned from his teacher. He said in the Preface to Pictures: "After moving to North Borneo, it took more than ten years to build a China University on the mountain. The children became brilliant and carefree, so they traveled around the world, visited exhibitions and gave lectures, and spent the second stage of middle age." Middle-aged, he traveled more than half the world, traveling, giving lectures, collecting ideas and creating. The local customs and thousands of mountains and valleys of nature have become colorful ink paintings. He painted the Grand Canyon of the United States, the Egyptian pyramids, Niagara Falls, the malta island in the Mediterranean, Mount Malaysia, Mount Huangshan and Tiandu Peak. Use the brush and ink of traditional Chinese painting, and then return to China to paint my hometown in my later years. In June 2006, the masterpiece The First Peak in the World, which was officially collected in the Great Hall of the People, was his new work after he went to Mount Everest in the Himalayas to experience life. This painting is magnificent and distinct, and it has a sense of awe for the Chinese nation.
The Return to China Complex in Innocent Children
A brush and two clean hands, standing on a three-foot platform, spread Chinese culture to all parts of the world, which is a portrayal of Liu Jiaoshou's life. It is Liu's long-cherished wish to return to Lingnan, a famous overseas Lingnan painting school. In front of the bamboo garden where he lives, the author saw a couplet: "Birds are bosom friends, and pine and bamboo are my home". The temperament of a scholar can't help but remind people of the poem of the mentor Chen: "The western hills don't enter the poetry, and it rains and snows when it rains. There is no other wish in life, so I have to be a painter in the south of the Yangtze River."
Liu often says to people, "I have been on many boats in my life, but there is no such thing as a thief boat." He is indifferent to fame and fortune, loves China and pays attention to the development of Lingnan School of Painting. It is no wonder that Chen Yongqiang, director of the Lingnan Painting School Memorial Hall in Guangzhou, said in the article "Yan Xin Cao Chun Dyes Chunyang-Salute to Mr. Cao Chun": "Artistic creation is the expression of individuality, and style establishes the connotation of individuality. For example, Lao Tzu said that water is good for everything and has a better future. " In April, 2007, Liu held a charity bazaar in Macao to raise education funds for Macao workers' children's schools, and raised a total of 365.438 billion yuan, all of which were donated to the schools, showing his master style.
His works are of little value, but now he is very old and there is still no corruption; He has lived abroad for 50 years, not afraid of anti-China forces, and has gone through hardships to promote Chinese culture; He was already enjoying the infinite scenery abroad, and he resolutely returned to China alone at the age of 70. ...
