You think of a person
How much can you cling to it
Day after day
Focus on one thing
Do this thing fine, do it fine, do it perfectly...
▲Oil painting "Confused"
▲"Where to Fly" Oil on canvas 105X60cm
▲Oil painting "Rain Lane"
Every girl in these paintings
All let people feel the vitality of youth
The innocence and beauty of nature
In every gesture of them
Or inadvertently in a look
All show a unique agility and perfection
They are like pure and beautiful flowers
Pure and transparent
These are all from
The hand of Li Guijun
General painters, creative themes are rich and diverse
He is different, obsessed with painting 17- and 8-year-old girls
And a painting is 36 years
How many 36 years of life
But he kept going
Li Guijun
Born in Beijing in November 1964
I have been fascinated by painting since I was a child
In July 1984, he graduated from the Attached High School of the Central Academy of Fine Arts
In 1988, he graduated from the Oil Painting Department of the Central Academy of Fine Arts with a bachelor's degree
He studied under Jin Shangyi and Yang Feiyun
He is a representative of the third generation of classical painting
The drawing skills are on par with the teachers
It is known in critic circles as a representative of neoclassical painting
"Here and Now" oil on canvas, 35X35cm
Localized eye
Mouth local
Localized nose
His pure maidens
In terms of realistic painting techniques
There is always a charm and classicism of an oriental woman
The artistic conception of the work is deep and elegant

▲The work "Meditation"
▲ "Everywhere", 90x60cm oil on canvas
He was born into a peasant family in Beijing
He has been learning to draw since he was 12 years old
All the way from the attached high school to CAAM, in the freshman year
Just with an oil painting "104 Studio"
In Beijing's modern and contemporary Chinese art, it fetched a high price of 7.08 million
This work not only won him the grand prize of "China Youth Art Exhibition in Progress"
It also made him an influential young artist

The work depicts an ordinary scene in the studio, in which three college students, each immersed in their world, the expert comments on this picture conveys the loneliness of the three college students in society and the dilemma of communication, confused and melancholy eyes, the work has a strong surreal style, but there are also experts who believe that this work is empty and without any creativity
Everybody thinks
Follow this line
Li Guijun, who has not yet graduated from college
He has become a millionaire or like Zhou Chunya and Zhang Xiaogang
The big names of contemporary art
▲"Self-Awareness", 35x35cm oil on canvas
▲The Girl and the Dog
▲ "Dragonfly", 132x113cm Oil on canvas
But he didn't go down that path
Rather, it is a return to classical art
The theme of the painting was changed to a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl
Create your own neo-classical painting style
▲ "Flower Season" human body oil painting
▲ Faith, oil on canvas, 110X180cm
▲ "Qingquan" 100cm diameter oil on canvas
Although repainted after the maiden
The price of the works is not as high as in previous auctions
But his technique of portraying the human body
There is a strong and flexible impact
It gives people incredible and dazzling
▲ "Familiar Gaze" 90× 60cm
His brushwork is exquisite and delicate
The character image is flexible, simple and beautiful
It also cleverly uses the image of flowers, birds, insects and fish in traditional Chinese flower and bird paintings
Combined with classic realistic portraits
Create an aesthetic mood full of oriental meaning
▲ "Breathe" 80cm diameter oil on canvas
▲ "Tacit" diameter 60cm
