The painting of reading Kai Yu always gives people a
dignified, thick, steady and detached feeling, which is the impression I get
from interacting with him. Kai Yu is honest and courteous, modest and committed
to public affairs and dedication. In art, he has an air of personality and he
belongs to an artist who is "handsome". He is intelligent, savvy, diligent,
solid and willing to study. In art, he does not play smart tricks. He does not
take shortcuts. He is honest and sincere.
In the wave of Chinese painting, he made clear his
artistic pursuit by his knowledge accumulation and artistic accomplishment
instead of blindly catching up with others. He not only paid attention to the
landscape of the landscape, but also dealt with the scenery of the mountains
and rivers. He dealt with the effect of the far sighted and near view very well
and well, with exquisite writing, ink and rules, which indicated that he was a
very successful and educated artist.
In his landscape painting, Kai woo did not pay
attention to what the picture depicted, and the painter's mind was to contain
all things in the world, so as to be free and free. His landscape paintings do
not require the reproduction of objective natural landscape, but the sparks
produced by the impact of painter's emotion and reason and natural landscape.
It is more beautiful, more attractive and more shocking than natural scenery.
The accomplishment of a painter directly determines his artistic achievements.
The reappearance of art and pursuit of performance, and the pursuit of
reproduction due to the art of expression form a great feature of painters.
In recent years, he is strengthening his style. But
he understands that the formation and perfection of style is a natural process,
which is closely related to his own life experience and comprehensive artistic
attainments. So he not only striving to pursue, but also treats it with the
normal state of mind, his works are mostly painted with painting, with poetry,
calligraphy and even the seal in his works. "Outside the painting"
and "infinite interest" provide readers with adequate aftertaste and
imagination.
At the same time, these are expressions of the
author's personality and distinctive style. Among the landscape painters in
Guangzhou, there are few such cultural awakening, and Kai Yu is one of them.
The roots are deep in the soil, but the spirit is very modern. Heavy, weak, not
for physical service. Retreat from the impetuous "fire" of the
society and return to the higher realm of "Zen".
