Li Donghui rambles on Li Donghui painting chicken.

Mr. Li Donghui, Zhao Yanren, shenyang military area command freehand brushwork flower and bird painter. I like painting since I was a child, and my artistic quality is outstanding. I insist on studying art. He joined the China People's Liberation Army, served in a certain department in shenyang military area command, and engaged in military art activities in his spare time. Later, he was selected to be sent to the graduate class of Chinese Painting Department of Central Academy of Fine Arts, and graduated from 1987, which greatly improved art education. During my school days, I studied under Li Keran, Dong Shouping and other masters, specializing in freehand brushwork of flowers and birds, and explored my own style. In the meantime, I listened carefully to my special lectures at school many times and became a unique student at that time. His calligraphy was inspired by masters such as Qi Gong and Liu Bingsen, and his pen was dignified and natural.

Since then, Mr. Donghui has often participated in various artistic activities in the capital, and we have more and more opportunities to meet each other. Through discussing artistic viewpoints, creative experiences and planning large and medium-sized artistic activities, I have learned more about him. It is not difficult to understand that Mr. Donghui loves to draw chickens when he is growing up. Chicken is the longest-lived poultry in the history of China, and it is also one of the most used painting materials in history. The ancients compared the habits of chickens with the moral norms of the world. "Korean Poetry Biography" said, "The first person wearing a crown was also a writer; Far away, Wu also; The enemy dares to fight before, and he is brave; Tell me, be kind; The vigil is not lost, and the letter is also. " They all focus on the most distinctive physical and temperament characteristics of chickens, and have always been considered as good painting materials.

Mr. Dong Hui was born and raised in a farmhouse. He contacts him every day and observes him from time to time. He naturally loves Sri Lanka. Among the many painting materials of Chinese painting, chicken is a painting symbol that brings light and joy to people. Usually, painting a chicken needs to solve two problems, one is to turn vulgarity into elegance, and the other is to turn reality into emptiness. The two complement each other and are indispensable. Turning vulgarity into elegance requires a comprehensive, historical and cultural grasp of this performance object; To turn reality into reality, it is necessary to shape the various manifestations of chicken in a non-conceptual, artistic and personalized way. Mr. Dong Hui solved these problems perfectly in his artistic practice. In his golden rooster image, the author's love for life and warm feelings are included, which highlights the vitality and has a strong flavor of the times. In his mind, Jinji is not an ordinary poultry, but spiritual and human, which is a reflection of the times. His works are filled with natural interest of frankness, innocence and simplicity to varying degrees, burning the passion of life and expressing the author's good wish to exorcise evil spirits and send blessings. Mr. Donghui has been painting chickens for 20 years. In his numerous works, his love and passion for life are injected, which reflects his cognition and perception of objective life. One work after another, taking both form and spirit into consideration, the author's thought, implication and modeling realm are thought-provoking and inspiring. His works won awards in major exhibitions at home and abroad, were published in newspapers and periodicals, and were collected by well-known art institutions.

Mr. Dong Hui is cheerful, honest, young and enterprising. In addition to painting, he devoted a lot of energy and time to the planning of large-scale artistic creation activities and the curation of national painting exhibitions, which contributed to the successful operation of a series of large-scale exhibitions and made great efforts for the artistic activities of the country and the masses. In recent years, the national exhibition "Let the world be full of green" has been launched one after another. Planning and creating the 100-meter scroll "Long March 25,000 Li" to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the victory of the Long March, China Painting and Calligraphy Art Exhibition; The famous works of traditional Chinese painting and the first works of the 80th anniversary of National Defense University were well received by the industry. He is currently a member of China Artists Association and executive vice chairman of China Artists Association.
