Painters use traditional language, but what is shown is the feelings of modern people, from the beginning of the emergence of paintings, how many painters in order to inherit and innovate and explore, the painter who can not be mentioned in modern times is Mr. Li Keyan, after he left, I don't know how many people sighed, whether "Li Family Landscape" fell, fortunately Li Geng did not let such a thing happen.
Li Geng is the son of Li Keyan, from a young age by his father's words and deeds, as the saying goes, strict teachers out of high disciples, there is such a master and father of course will have more opportunities to learn than others, and Li Geng is a diligent and studious person, in addition to following his father to learn, he has also copied and learned Qi Baishi, Huang Binhong, Shi Tao and other previous masters, and has practiced solid painting techniques.
As the son of Li Keyan, he will certainly receive more attention and comparison, Li Geng not only inherits the Li family landscape, but more valuable is that he is also exploring a new painting language and looking for his own artistic path. Li Geng has studied at home and abroad, but always believes that the spiritual soil of local cultural creation, but returning to the local area does not mean copying, but combining with the spirit of the times to give new artistic value.
Li Geng's "Mahler Symphony Ink Space Composition" series of works is his representative works, combining music and painting, full of rhythm and dynamic at the same time imposing. Since its inception, this work has aroused strong repercussions at home and abroad, because it has interpreted a new art form with the concept of local culture, which is a perfect combination of oriental charm and contemporary atmosphere, and the praise is overwhelming.
Artists of different eras shoulder different artistic missions, and perhaps the expression of art is different, but they all have the same pursuit, that is, to push Chinese painting to a new commanding height. Therefore, Li Geng's painting style will not be a copy and paste of his father Li Kejian, but a fusion of his own understanding of modern art forms, forming his own art style.
Li Geng's landscapes not only have the essence of "Li Family Landscape", but also have their own emotions and thoughts. His landscape is an unmodified landscape that has not been artificially transformed and is also the ideal landscape in his heart. What do you think?
