Unique ingenuity to prove time and space, good at making wonderful silhouettes outside the dust
——Remembering the famous artist Liu Helong
In the contemporary art world, Mr. Liu Helong and his works are all isolated and dusty. Why? Because of his artistic walking posture and the presentation of his works, he is different, which is amazing and outstanding in front of him! As an independent artist, while deeply studying professional standards, he also strives to get out of the "general" expression of innovative talent, use his own perspective to explore the relationship between art and the world, tap into new artistic ideas, and refresh the influence of Danqing that has never been seen in ancient times!
His artistic thinking has the depth of the sea, the loftiness of the clouds, and all paintings are not superficial laying out, but the profundity of the dialectics of time and space outside the painting. By the way, when watching his work "Years Like Songs", you can see that the years have quietly carved out the heart song of time and space that cannot be extinguished in the silence of the thousand autumns! He uses the way of montage to structure the superposition and change of space in the painting, near, medium and far triple space, so that the past, present and future have a platform for carrying in the painting. The Buddha said that the past mind is unattainable, the present mind is unattainable, and the future mind is unattainable. Liu Helong said that the impression that was unobtainable in the past was so, the impression that could not be obtained now was so, and the impression that could not be obtained in the future was so. The Buddhist evidence lies in guiding and letting go, and Liu Helong's "Years Like Songs" focuses on making people feel eternal gratitude for traveling through time and space!
"Years Like Songs" uses a unique "silhouette" artistic strategy to explore and express temporal and spatial feelings from a philosophical point of view, which is slightly different from the Buddha's belief. Because faith lies in the heart, philosophy can not be separated from the actual experience and feelings of life, all sentient beings, living in philosophy in the posture is more, the most need for the philosophical painting of "Years Like Songs" to give real inspiration and warmth: the past, present, the future, can be because of the sea of stars like the journey superimposed, become our majestic posture in walking time and space! With hills and valleys in his heart and mountains and rivers in his pen, Liu Helong uses the independent thinking of independent artists to shape paintings and images, virtual and real, time and emptiness, so that the philosophical connotation can be transformed into a positive force for life through the refinement of painting! This piece has a unique ingenuity, which can enlighten the public, from the past to the present, from the present to the future...
Liu Helong constantly uses calligraphy and painting to communicate the relationship between people's hearts and the world, which has traditional cultural feelings, such as the big ink lotus pond he painted, a school that is often afraid of the early autumn wind and the poetry that people do not know. There are also unique allegorical worldly wisdoms, such as his painting "The Thinker", which has become a realistic masterpiece that reflects the contemporary world because of the depth and brilliance of "Yu". The silhouette method is applied to pure fire, and the silhouette of the "thinker" is in stark spatial contrast with the "Star-Spangled Banner", which is the self-assertion of "freedom", while the "thinker" points to the question of "what is freedom". Let people see more and more taste, the more taste the more they feel the connotation!
Unique ingenuity to prove time and space, good at making wonderful silhouettes outside the dust. At a time when the world is unpredictable today and there are storms everywhere, the work "Thinker" has a creative style of magic realism, writing about the identification and thinking of international relations and how human society should dominate! Once born, it is a posture in the sky, making this work a magnificent feat for the painter to walk alone and save the world! Artistic thinkers can paint with the tao, no exception, unique ingenuity, real and true!
