Most of the paintings of the painter Lin Yao appear in the form of flower and bird paintings, and his works are mostly freehand, but there are very few brushes. From the perspective of theme, plum, orchid, lotus, bamboo, peony, kapok and other flowers have been painted, and among them, the large freehand bauhinia is the most distinctive, with the reputation of "the first bauhinia ink painting", which is favored by flower and bird painting enthusiasts, and is my favorite painter.
Lin Yao's bauhinia flowers, or gorgeous, or rambling, or pure, or aesthetic, or delicate, or swaying in the wind, the style is graceful, ten thousand styles, can paint the time when the flowers are withering, the bauhinia branches bloom, the vitality of the exuberant vitality, creating a peaceful, warm, joyful, joyful "lively" and dynamic artistic atmosphere, setting off the brilliant picture effect of thousands of purples and thousands of reds, creating the "flower world" in the painter's mind, so that the viewer can feel the red and bright branches of the bauhinia flowers blooming to the cold. Want to compare with plum blossoms" charming style.
Lin Yao's bauhinia paintings, composition is more common "diagonal" composition or "half-angle" composition, a cluster of flowers in the painting, a cluster of leaves, also have guests and masters, in the work of stability to see the odd coincidence, in the opening and closing of the picture to seek stability, coordination, quite a state of swaying in the wind.
With the pen, the center is the mainstay, the petals and flower buds are more ticked, less rendered, and strive to write clearly, although the flower branches are sometimes ticked, but there are many boneless methods, the lines are sharp and old, and the long lines at the dead branches are even strong, just like the ancient Gaoshi, the bones are not flattering.
In the use of ink color, Lin Yao is mainly bright and strong tone, the contrast between ink and color is particularly bold, large pieces of ink and small pieces of color form a strong contrast, ink breaking ink, color breaking color, water breaking ink, water breaking color, alternate use, the picture is full of tension, flexible and rhythmic.
As for flowers and leaves, Lin Yao painted with different senses of color, trying to abandon the similarity.
Lin Yao's bauhinia works depict the enthusiasm, unrestrained and festive nature of bauhinia flowers, show the different temperament of bauhinia flowers, and create the "flower world" in the minds of painters, both the brush and ink charm of traditional freehand paintings and the style of traditional literati paintings, and cater to the aesthetic trend of the times, integrate into the weather of the times, have a distinct atmosphere of the times, and can bring beauty to the viewer.
Bauhinia this theme in the past generations of painters rare, the current domestic ink to express bauhinia painters are not common, traditional flower and bird painting, plum, orchid, bamboo, chrysanthemum, peony, lotus and other paintings, there are models can be referenced, emulated, in the face of a less mature painting subject, the painter needs to have the courage to innovate, from this point of view, Lin Yao's painting practice is of exploratory significance.
We hope that painters will establish their own artistic style as soon as possible.
