On the afternoon of March 18th, Professor Li Yong, a famous painter, Chinese artist, vice president of the Shandong Provincial Chinese Painting Society, deputy director of the Character Painting Art Committee of the Shandong Provincial Artists Association, former dean of the School of Plastic Arts of the Shandong Academy of Arts and Crafts, and famous young painters, members of the China Artists Association, members of the China Gongbi Painting Society, zhang Zhimin studio painter of the China National Academy of Painting, director of the Chinese Calligraphy and Painting Artists Creation Center, and first-class calligrapher and painter Zhang Qinzhi walked into the cultural horizon and discussed the art of calligraphy and painting with Liang Hongwen, chairman of the board of directors of the China Network Shandong & Cultural Vision Network. Stroll through the Chinese Art Space and splash ink in the Cloud Studio, leaving behind ink treasures.
The aroma of tea is quiet, the water vapor is thick, and the guests cook tea and taste tea in the tea room, and the years of experience are told between talks and laughter.
Cha Bi, the three of them visited the China Art Space together, where many famous artists and ink exhibitions were listed, which was beautiful.
Chairman Liang Hongwen also invited two painters to the editorial office of the two networks to read their paintings over the years. Professor Li Yong knows his old works very well, when and why he wrote them, Chairman Liang Hongwen lamented that Professor Li Yong's early works also have unique meanings and are very amazing.
Subsequently, several people moved to the Cloud Studio, only to see that the studio was already full of ink and stones, just waiting for the two painters to splash ink and show their style.
Just as the so-called "square inches, can accommodate all things", Li Yong's painting style is like this. Professor Li Yong graduated from Shandong Academy of Arts, studied at the Central Academy of Fine Arts, worked in Shandong Academy of Painting for 20 years, and then returned to campus again, becoming a teacher in Mountain Craft, it can be said that Professor Li Yong has an indissoluble relationship with the college. Therefore, his paintings are also like "colleges", diverse, inclusive, taking the strengths of each family, and integrating tradition and innovation, and the aesthetic characteristics of The East and the West.
In his early years, Li Yong saw many German neo-expressionist prints and oil paintings, and his painting language was quite influenced by Western art, but his works were mostly based on traditional culture, and the classical atmosphere was rooted in his pen and ink like a shadow, but he was not bound by tradition. This time, what he did was a ridiculous, playful, "unorthodox" and "sketch-style" literati painting.
Only to see him take ink from the pen, the pen walks the dragon and snake, swinging freely, in a few strokes, the mountain stone will suddenly appear, an old man leisurely fishing on the shore, the idyllic and peaceful meaning of the rhyme jumps on the paper. Professor Li Yong said that in the current society, most people are impetuous and cramped, and the pen and ink is actually the expression of the painter's spiritual world, and it is precisely in this way that he expresses his yearning for the natural, light and leisurely life in the painting, and pins his spiritual appeal. The pen and ink book is ruthless, and the lover is all by people. Li Yong said that this is his "sincerity" to art.

Zhang Qinzhi is good at landscape and water, and in his early years he was born in oil painting, and only fifteen years ago he began to turn to Chinese painting. Therefore, compared with traditional landscape painting, his paintings are very unique in their picture composition. The mountains are magnificent, the sea of clouds is vast, but the ancient pines in the mountains are dashing and natural, and they are slightly embellished with colors such as flower blue and ochre, adding a few traces of fireworks and pastoral mood to the slightly dull ink-colored landscape.
Zhang Qinzhi said that landscape painting is actually not too particular about composition, and it is necessary to "boldly paint" in order to generate brush strokes and show the spirit of pen and ink, and composition will limit the painter.
