A painter from the Chinese department of Beijing Normal University, with his unique style and identity as a literati, has a close relationship, and his interpretation of his works cannot be rigidly deconstructed in some ways that use illustrations and hopes for the meaning of the text, he is implicit in his thoughts and emotions. From the perspective of life experience, his pen "Snow Fragrant Plum First Primrose", in the characteristics of pen and ink, does not overemphasize the rich changes in ink color, and the kung fu on his pen and line gives people more enlightenment than ink, in terms of ink and brushwork: the use of lines and ink is more clumsy, and the strength of the pen penetrates the back of the paper, which is most pleasing to the eye. The ordinary scenes such as snowflakes, birds, plum blossoms, and mountains and stones in the painting are not external objects, but the painter wants to use people's experience in nature, so the realm of flowers and birds in his pen expresses the spirit of surprise. And this is also the charm of Cai's ink literati paintings, transcending the objective world, breaking through the shackles of long-term pragmatism in art, and improving the imitation of nature and the expression of the external world to the spiritual world of the expressive painter.
Admire "Gentleman An Poor Man Knows His Destiny", with the method of painting flowers and birds with "Chinese and Western fusion", taking material composition purely from traditional Chinese styles, but with the Western painting method that emphasizes light and shadow and three-dimensional realism, it fully expresses the three-dimensional sense of the bird's tail and back, and also uses ink color to express the texture of the stone illuminated by light. This work places the bird and the pomegranate together in a real natural environment, a silent, free natural state, so that the bird is vividly painted, and the painting is a sense of pleasure. His "hebi" painting method is obviously different from previous paintings, although a great compromise has been made in the painting, as far as possible to retain and integrate the techniques and elements of ink painting, to adapt to the aesthetic taste of the East.
The refinement of ink brush and ink also requires a long-term artistic practice, which is refined in aesthetic judgment and a high degree of aesthetic consciousness, and the final achievement depends on the artist's emotions, talents, philosophical vocabulary, and the understanding of the world and life. Painter Cai Maoyou believes that in order to make the works highlight the most important and fundamental quality of freehand flower and bird painting - spirituality. In this picture of flowers and birds he made, the compositions overlap and overlap, outlining bamboo leaves in thick ink, and then smearing them vertically and horizontally with thick and light ink, and the blocks and lines are interspersed, and the banana leaves are written on the paper. In order to better set off the atmosphere of the picture, the painter dots the birds at the intersection of banana leaves and bamboo leaves, and the thick and colorful colors are particularly eye-catching, and they are in strong contrast with the thick and light ink colors in the painting. The whole work not only has the distribution of flowers and birds quite ingenious, the extreme sparseness and density, the hidden and exposed magic, the backlight of the ink bamboo is accurately expressed by the color change, showing the subtlety of Cai's ink flowers and birds.
