A few days ago, Yu Shenghong, a 66-year-old painter in Suzhou, created 36 cartoons during his stay at home, reflecting the humorous and interesting life pictures of the people of Sioux City during the national fight against the epidemic, showing the steadfast leisurely and self-deprecating romance of Suzhou people. "This is the leisure and calmness unique to Jiangnan culture." Yu Shenghong told the Modern Express reporter.
The cultural heritage of Suzhou people and the romantic poetry in their bones were vividly displayed in his pictures when the epidemic struck. Under the epidemic, during the time at home, Yu Shenghong used a paintbrush as a lens to capture the happiness of Suzhou people he observed in the anti-epidemic life, "I believe that we will soon defeat the epidemic, I use myself as the protagonist in the painting, use the perspective of 'old naughty boy' to directly dialogue with the audience, convey the happiness I see, and also let everyone see the true appearance of Suzhou people in the epidemic life. ”
It is reported that Yu Shenghong is good at taking root in ordinary life and likes to capture inspiration from ordinary life scenes. The comics are all about life, the fat old lady is his wife, the little rabbit is the daughter of the rabbit, and the neighbor who helps each other buy vegetables is his neighbor.
Yu Shenghong, 66, painted oil paintings when he was young, and five years ago he decided to create comics based on himself. He especially admired Feng Zikai, who also constructed his art through such an artistic concept, and he used painting art as a carrier to superimpose the unique aesthetic interests and lifestyles of the contemporary public, and clearly penetrated into the tendentious artistic pursuit.
"Even if Feng Zikai lives in a difficult era, but seeing Feng Zikai's paintings can still feel the beauty of life, I also hope that in this special period, I can use my paintings to convey the beauty of life, to show everyone the romantic side of Suzhou people who are not arrogant and impatient in their bones."
