The pictures in the text are all works of Dai Yiou
Text, commentary on snow peaks
Dai Yi Ou - these three words you must feel very artistic. When I first came into contact with this name, I was deeply impressed by this dazzling and somewhat literary name.
Knowing Yi Ou was very accidental, and it was introduced by friends Liang through the Network. Of course, it is not the introduction of Yi Ou's name, but his oil paintings. Liang sent me a link in WeChat, with a sentence attached: I have a friend's work, the painting is good! I have been friends with the debutant for many years, he is usually busy with work, and there are few opportunities for small talk, even if it is occasionally a simple sentence or two. Suddenly there was such leisure and elegance, it must be someone or thing that he was very interested in or interested in paying attention to. Liang's attention naturally also aroused my curiosity. When I clicked on the link, the title reads "Appreciation of Oil Paintings on Behalf of Europe". My first feeling at that time was: the tone is not small! A stage name is "Generation One Europe", why, is the level of oil painting representative of the whole of Europe? However, after admiring his paintings, I felt that the small mobile phone screen could no longer carry the outstanding talent contained in the paintings, and unabashedly overflowed into my heart. I confess that I fell in love with these paintings.
In the exchange with Liang, it was learned that Dai Yi'ou was not a stage name, but a real name, the same age as Liang. Since it is a younger brother level, I am not welcome! "Tell me about it." I asked Liang, "That's a must." Liang was very happy, "There is still something to ask you for help?" "Halo, how do you feel like you're going to be in the middle of a "set", "What's the matter?" "Liang is not polite," Dai Yiou is ready to hold a painting exhibition in Haiyang, and the big host will help host it! "It's simple!" In this way, it laid the groundwork for my in-depth interaction with Yiou.
The first time we met was to invite Ichigo to dinner, saying that it was to exchange the art exhibition process, but in fact, it was mainly to get to know each other and express their gratitude in advance. When he saw Yi Ou, he wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses, although he was strong, he was extraordinary, and his eyebrows were permeated with the unique temperament of the literati. It is very polite to talk to people, and the most impressive thing is that I like to laugh, and the laughter is cheerful and sincere.
After introducing each other, I learned that Yi Ou was still a working teacher at Hebei University of Engineering, had studied at the Central Academy of Fine Arts, and was a proud disciple of the oil painting masters Bai Yunhao, Zheng Feng, Zhang Zhe, and Leng Jun. This is still slightly different from some folk painters I usually know, first, he is within the system and belongs to the "official kiln", and the second is the "academic school".
I can't help but have a few drinks during the meal, and although I am not an alcoholic, I like the atmosphere of true feelings. Wine is indeed the catalyst of feelings, and between cups and cups, personality is released and emotions are sublimated. Therefore, "literati love wine since ancient times", as an artist, Yi Ou drinks very boldly, which is very similar to my drinking style, and also makes me further enhance my good feelings for him, thinking in my heart, "This brother I have made up", but the amount of wine in Yi Ou makes me hopeless.
People who have drunk wine together have a good feeling for each other, and the communication is naturally much smoother. In the later period, our interaction became more frequent.
At his exhibition, there are many celebrities in the cultural circles and even political circles, which shows that Yiou's social aspect is very broad, and everyone recognizes him.
The works in the exhibition are combined with realistic and freehand, and the characters and scenes are contrasted with each other. The realism and vividness of the realistic works have made many viewers praise. The one that impressed me the most was Yi Ou's masterpiece "Guifei Drunk", which looked exquisite, as if Guifei was staring at you with affection. From the headdress to the drapery, every detail is exquisite. Yi Ou told me that this was the result of his painstaking efforts in nearly a hundred days.
Yi Ou is very hospitable and often has a small gathering with me in leisure time. Once I was invited to his studio for a drink. Many of his works are placed on the walls and floors of the studio. When he took my son Tong Tong on a tour, he asked Tong Tong which one he liked, and the little guy pointed to a small oil painting called "Fishermen". Without saying a word, he gave the oil painting to Tong Tong and gave it to my big baby by signature. Although the oil painting is small, the painting is very interesting, very suitable for people working by the sea, I have long been optimistic, but I am ashamed to open my mouth, I did not expect my son to help me get it.
YiOu's generosity is well known among friends. Oil painting costs time and material, a slightly realistic painting needs a month, only the cost of paint is one or two thousand yuan, such a high cost, so that the vast majority of oil painters appear stingy, rarely give paintings. The prospect of the oil painting market in Yiou is very good, and many collectors in the circle like to collect his works. The price of his paintings is also very transparent, such as the cabbage he paints, because the painting is well-crafted and has good meaning, and many collectors are lined up to let him create. We also often ridiculed him, "A european cabbage is very valuable, and one will cost thirty thousand yuan." It is such a painting that requires buyers to wait in line, as long as the friend is optimistic, he also unequivocally says "send". This is not nonsense, because I have one, or two cabbages.
Yi Ou is a native of Handan, Hebei, and the oyster brothers Li Zhangjun and Li Mingjun are also from Handan, Hebei Province, breeding oysters in Haiyang and becoming acquainted with me. After I introduced them to each other, Yi Ou has been quietly creating oil paintings for them "Oyster Love". Once, at the two brothers' worship banquet, Yi Ou gave the works he had created for more than a month as a gift to the two brothers, and gave the work "White Dove" to the two brothers' masters, which caused a huge sensation at the scene of the worship. An old chief saw Yi Ou's work and praised it one after another, "Which is this painting, is this not a photograph?" So much like! ”
Yi Ou has a philosophy, since he wants to be a friend for a lifetime, how to do it without showing some sincerity. It is not difficult to understand why Yi Ou has so many elite friends around him.
If you think that Yi Ou can only paint oil, it is too small to look down on him, and his brush strokes and ink paintings have reached a fairly high level. At any time in his car, there was a booklet dedicated to style sketches, and as soon as he stopped and looked at the scene, he began to draw on the booklet, and each page had a different sketch of the scene.
Yi Ou's success as a person stems from his good tutoring. His parents both worked in colleges and universities, and the rich cultural atmosphere from childhood was tainted with his inner bookish temperament. His father's bold and atmospheric genes gave him a manly spirit of heavy love and righteousness. Yi Ou's painting achievements are very high, with the guidance of famous teachers, eager to learn and understand, inheriting the techniques of oil painting and traditional Chinese painting, and developing on this basis. He is not only a painter but also an art theorist and educator, and has long been committed to the research and teaching of art theory.
At present, Yiou's biggest goal is to sprint to the membership of the China Artists Association, and he is stepping up his creation to participate in national competitions and exhibitions! We look forward to this post-80s university associate professor and young oil painter to be able to move towards a more brilliant and brighter future on the road of art!
