There are 5 art giants in the modern Chinese painting world, namely Qi Baishi, Xu Beihong, Zhang Daqian, Li Keyan, Fu Baoshi, these painting masters should also be familiar to everyone, of which Li Keyan is the most "expensive" landscape giant in today's art market, "Li Family Landscape" has created a myth that 5 works have been auctioned for more than 100 million yuan, and "Li Family Landscape" is now also a successor, that is, Li Keyan's son, Li Geng.
As the second-generation heir of the "Li Family Landscape", Li Geng definitely did not rely on his father's name to build his popularity. Since the age of 3, Li Geng has shown extraordinary artistic talent, naturally Li Keyan is also very happy to see his son's talent, so from the age of 3 Li Geng began to learn to practice pen with his father, began to practice ink painting at the age of 6, practiced watercolor painting with Huang Yongyu at the age of 7, and won the gold medal in the national children's painting competition at the age of 9, and had the reputation of "prodigy" in that year.
Li Kejian's landscape painting is a modern Chinese painting classic that no one can surpass, Li Geng is naturally also influenced by his father, not only landscape painting, flowers and birds, characters Li Geng have not been ignored, seeing that his son can learn the Li family landscape techniques to the fire, Li Kejian is very happy. In 1993, Li Geng's personal calligraphy and painting auction in Japan reached a 99% turnover rate, with a turnover of 18 million. It caused a huge sensation and was praised by the industry as the next Li Keyan, that is, the next giant of the painting world.
And Li Geng also lived up to expectations, many times in France, Britain, Italy and other countries around the world to hold a personal exhibition or Li family landscape exhibition, in a very short period of time to enhance their influence in the art world, Chinese painting giant Huang Yongyu once publicly said that Li Geng from childhood with a clever nature, not only inherited Li Kejian's style, more fortunately he did not completely copy Li Kejian's style, but retained his own style, which is very valuable. Chinese painting master Fan Zeng also said that Li Geng was very remarkable, because he created his own world.
Although he bears the name of "the next Li Ke dye", Li Geng does not shrink back, nor is he proud, but he is constantly improving himself, constantly expanding the influence of "Li Family Landscape", and the artistic composition of the son of the master flowing in the blood, which is incomparable to many descendants, so Li Geng's works will certainly create a sky-high legend in the future, and we will wait and see.
