Liu Xinhua, stage name Liu Lang, said he liked Jin Yong's old naughty boy. Free, no door, no sect, no teacher, but everyone is their own teacher. I often talk about life with ridicule. It is believed that what is true is the first, and that there is truth to have goodness and beauty. True heart is the dojo, free to be at ease, real to live, and to do what you like with your heart. Painting is painting oneself, and there is a kind of painting in any state.
He said his teacher, Liu Mu, had always told him to "be himself" and did not teach him how to draw by hand. All that is taught is the mental method. Not a technique.
He said: Painting is a subconscious thing, subconsciously it is to paint with feeling, think about that painting, I don't know what's going on.
He likes to draw with a brush, and he doesn't distinguish between Chinese ink paintings. Just draw with a brush. He did not deliberately do any calligraphy, he said that he was amateur, only focusing on the tip of the pen, keeping the feeling of the tip on the paper. The tip of the pen wanders in the bottom of his heart, from the line of his tip swimming, constantly growing and expanding, stringing time and space together, connecting people and things, and also smashing the void of the mountains and rivers and the earth into a mess of sand...
In the paintings he draws casually, it seems that people are not human, things are not objects, and the characters are not distinguished, but they all seem to have life, and they are all laughing and cursing. There is no stylized image or depiction of realistic nature... He has no tricks, no tricks, no hanging marks.
He said that he is the original painting of modern society, likes the "original ecology" likes innocence and decay, he does not have much pursuit, likes to be idle, he often says that he paints "scattered paintings", a scattered sand, there is no rigorous theme and structure, some are confused. I remember when Hu Lancheng showed Zhang Ailing his thesis, Zhang Ailing said that such a strict system is not as good as disbanding, so Hu Lancheng disbanded the article, he said that driving all things like an army, it was better to let everything disarm and return to the field, all the way there was laughter.
He's not a man of too much rigor.
He said he used threads, liked the feeling of moments, not stylized, like looking back at the twilight inadvertently. He likes to write heavily, the lines are old and thick, when the line is on the line, when the end is over. Stop and go, do whatever you want, and the line moves as you please. The astringent writing reveals the original message, and the penmanship implies the affirmation of Picasso, the idleness of Matisse and other Western modernist masters, and the stroke is dipped in cultivation, talent, personality, and state of life, pointing directly to the human heart.

His shapes seem to be marked by paper-cutting, stone carvings, dramas, New Year paintings, folk art and even children's paintings. He said that he likes the original simplicity and wildness of the spirit, but the picture should be fresh and fresh, like small fresh meat, and cannot always show people with old-fashioned style, like a greasy old man. He broke the traditional shape of pen and ink and focused on building a new aesthetic style.
Liu Xinhua said that he often wakes up early and closes his eyes to see various symbols and colors, and comes out of thin air. That's where he comes from.
He said that most of the successful people in history are off the ordinary path, and many people are forced to go to the non-mainstream, and the result is that it has become.
Qi Baishi said "similar or not", And Huang Binhong said "absolutely not similar". What is right or wrong in painting? Where is the "wrong"? Right where? What does "never resemble" mean? When the flowers are smiling.
When Master Miaoxu of Mount Qingcheng said to him, "You should have no place to live and give birth to your heart", he understood...
It turns out that sentient beings are Buddhas, and it turns out that they are sufficient.
Yes, he said he was willing to get closer to art and be willing to hide on the edge.
Mr. Xinhua does not seem to belong to this painting world, he is a primitive person in modern society, a primitive painting, and his art is what he is alive, not class, not class, not fixed. Just himself.
Whether there is a law or not, it is like his painting and life with emotion.
