Art Review:
Qi Yan's world of flowers and birds is rich, plain and wonderful. She uses her own aesthetic views and expressions to create many artistic images. The flowers and birds in her paintings have a certain amount of realism, but they are not purely objective depictions of natural objects, but re-creations after a high degree of condensation. It seems to be casual but contains a simple atmosphere, in the natural subtlety contains a masculine spirit, vigorous and simple, concise and simple brushwork, full of interest, pen and ink indulgent and bold, majestic and majestic. Her ability to harness the brush and ink, and her ability to harness freehand techniques is amazing. Qi Yan is a celebrity in the world of collecting, a household name, and her name will surely go down in history forever, and there is no doubt that her work will soar in the future. A new chapter of Hanmo's brilliant score, Qi Yan will definitely be famous all over the world, and his painting will be passed on all over the world—— (Fan Zeng commented)
Artistic Value:
The painter Qi Yan is an artist who combines the strengths of many people, and is good at re-coloring landscapes, flowers and birds, and is both fine and proficient. Influenced by Qi Baishi's art since childhood, and passed on by Master Li Kuchan, his works have distinctive Qi school art characteristics, inheriting the creative techniques of Qi Baishi and Li Kuchan, and making important contributions to the inheritance and promotion of Qi Baishi's Chinese painting art. Later, he studied under Jiang Guohua and Li Baolin, and was guided by the famous painter Liu Haisu, which made Qi Yan's painting skills a qualitative leap, the icing on the cake, and added another guarantee to the value of his calligraphy and painting collection!
Qi Yan's calligraphy and painting artistic conception is far-reaching, extraordinary, thick and heavy, majestic and compelling, and at the same time integrates the techniques of Shi Tao, Bada, and Wu Changshuo, absorbing the strengths of others, deeply cultivating and researching, and finally forming his own unique artistic style in terms of freehand flowers and birds, landscapes. In particular, her eagle series works inherit the essence of master Li Kuchan's eagle painting, and integrate it into the contemporary painting style to form the characteristics of contemporary new eagle works. She has participated in major art festivals and academic exchange activities as a representative of art inheritance for many times.
Qi Yan's calligraphy and painting is currently very successful and very typical Qi school painting art, with high academic value, artistic level and collection value!
