Lin Feng's artistic creation, with flowers, grasses, insects and fish as the themes of its performance, with its light coloring, outlines the subtle world authenticity, and in the subtle place, between the light and the light, it shows the exclamation and emotional expression of the surrounding things. The exploration of the artistic conception of Chinese flower and bird painting is to show a vast and distant realm in a small and refined landscape, the imagery is subtle, but the charm is long.

The realm of painting, the nature of the heart
Text/Zhao Long
Art has always been a trance feeling, since the emergence of art in human civilization, no matter what the reason, what position people have always carried a personal subjective feeling when depicting art; Art has thus become a way for people to look at the world in their hearts, and the expression of content is naturally our sustenance and expectation of the world.
This sense of trance is especially evident in Chinese painting, Chinese has always been painted with sensibility, and although painting consciously and unconsciously mixes political and indoctrination in the middle of development, the premise of this doping is still based on feelings. Cao Zhi saw Luoshen standing in the water in a trance through the Luohe River, and this feeling was written in the famous chapter of "Luoshen Fu", and Gu Kaizhi made this water and light intertwined, and the feeling of out-of-body soul uses a "Luoshen Futu" to concretize its image.
This is not only a fantasy, but also a witness and monologue from the heart. There have been huge differences between Eastern and Western painting since the day they were born, one is heavy rationality and one is heavy sensibility, one is a meticulous imitation of reality, and one is an elaboration of the inner world of the self; The reason for this can indeed be said to be many, the most important thing is that the world view is treated differently, the understanding is different, and the emphasis is different.
But the development of modern art so far, the East and the West seem to have called for meaning, one is biased towards the depiction of reality, the other is more and more deeply in the heart, this has been revealed in literature, the West gradually into the world of personal emotions, the East gradually into the social reality. As the most suitable Chinese painting, it is naturally the expression and catharsis of personal emotions, although this kind of nothingness is sometimes elusive, but this kind of subconscious venting of feelings that hides the true dew is an ineffable meaning that cannot be expressed with rational analysis.
Since Dong Qichang divided the paintings of the northern and southern sects, the "gradual cultivation" of the southern school and the "epiphany" of the northern school represent the way of understanding painting Chinese, and at the same time reflect the way of perception of life and the world. Whether it is gradual cultivation or enlightenment, what is inseparable is the accumulation of feelings and the enrichment of personal experience as an object of life.
In Lin Feng's paintings, his works have a large area of white space, the flowers are light and elegant, there is a vigorous vitality in the quiet, far from looking like flowers blooming in the twilight, this hazy and specious feeling is the most direct, most subtle and precisely the most difficult emotion brought to us by Chinese painting.
Because it is not limited to the viewer's personal emotions, but it is necessary for you to look at this painting to generate self-consciousness, the examination of your own inner world, the release of self-emotion, and the understanding of your own life; The so-called external teacher creation, the source of the heart is not to let you contemplate the mind of the painting, but to make you feel the heart of the self.
