Teacher Liu Mu's Wuyi Qing tea painting exhibition was grandly opened on December 3, 2020 at the Art Museum of Beijing Academy of Fine Arts. This is another important exhibition of the teacher's paintings. As a student, I have been looking forward to it for a long time, and after watching it, it is like taking a vivid teaching lesson.

Watching the teacher's work made me both quiet and excited. He was quietly recounting the ripples of an old man. The teacher's works give me a very quiet feeling, he is not the kind of painting that is not necessarily strong in the external impact, that kind of work is very popular in modern times, but in fact, it reflects the general impetuous state of the painter, eager for success, trying to become famous overnight. And Teacher Liu, he is not, he is there quietly drawing his own paintings, painting his own feelings related paintings.
Teacher Liu Mu likes to drink rock tea, and he usually drinks tea and chats when he is fine. His state is that a lot of things have been put down. Relax yourself and empty yourself. As a retired teacher at the National Academy of Painting of China, he did not live like many people in the society, and he was not willing to toss and turn. I am excited that the teacher's work is first-class and innovative in the present. I am glad to have Such a Venerable Master as a teacher.
The teacher's work gives me the feeling of being quiet, like the snow scene in the painting, quiet and flat. But there are many flavors to taste. Just like rock tea, it begins to be faint and nothing special, and after entering the throat, it moisturizes for a while, and slowly and aftertastes around the beam for three days. Well worth it. It is slow-onset. Nowadays, many works are very intimidating to look at, and then look at the head.
The teacher's snow scene reminds me of Zhang Dai's "Watching the Snow at the Lake Pavilion", which has a stunning feeling.
Although the text is fresh and elegant throughout, full of pure, clear colors and a cold and lonely tone, like a light ink painting in front of the eyes, it still can't change the feeling of stunning.
Painter Liu Mu spoke
Zhang Dai used seven words of "people in the lake and birds are absolute" to summarize and set off, which was almost stingy. Although there are few words, there is a broad space for aesthetic imagination, which is endlessly evocative to read.
Judging from zhang Dai's style of writing, from prosperity to blandness, it must have made him have an epiphany, making him feel that wealth and glory are just clouds of smoke, after all, it is just a dream.
Only plain and simple is true, and it is the most real happiness that can be touched in the world.

In the red dust, as long as you stick to your own square heart, it is enough. The other disturbances do not need to be taken to heart.
I also feel that only by looking at the prosperity of the world and experiencing the vicissitudes of the world, such as the teacher, can we understand that people who live to the extreme must be plain and simple, and it is also the indifference and wisdom that are washed away by lead.
Zhong Ruqian, former vice president of the Hubei Provincial Academy of Fine Arts and dean of the School of Fine Arts of South Central University for Nationalities
When it comes to the evaluation and positioning of the teacher's paintings, I am not an expert, I am only talking about my superficial feelings.
Teacher Liu Mu's exhibition also held an expert seminar, and the experts said so: Du Dakai, a doctoral supervisor of Tsinghua Academy of Fine Arts, said: "Judging from Mr. Liu Mu's exhibition, his pursuit is more determined, his thinking is very clear, each painting has a deep realm and linguistic thinking, more perfect, it is not easy to do this, it is very powerful!" He is constantly changing himself, so I still have very good expectations for Mr. Liu Mu's future. Professor Tian Liming of the Central Academy of Fine Arts also made a special trip to observe the exhibition.
Both Teacher Liu and Professor Tian Liming are painters of the innovative inheritance school, creating a new sign of Chinese painting, this kind of expression with their own new language, which was not available in the predecessors, is the new after the inheritance. Reminds me of the word no ancients. I thought you were going to look at the new signs, the characters looked at tian liming, and the landscape looked at Liu Mu.
After watching Teacher Liu Mu's painting exhibition, I returned home from the lively state of the festival, and my heart slowly calmed down. The calm of these few days has allowed me to settle down slowly. Combined with the usual teacher's words and deeds to me and sincere teachings, I think about the significance of the teacher's exhibition for me, in this impetuous era, quiet is the realm, and being myself is the painting method.
In this era, information is developed, time is hurried, and everything is short and fast. People's hearts need a little calm and calm, and the times are holding us more and more in a hurry. Where is the mind placed? It's a mental health problem. The combination of the teacher's tea and painting is a meaningful exploration of this problem and has achieved very good results! Many viewers like the teacher's works, regardless of age, they can accept and like!
Teachers often tell us in daily lectures, learning to paint, skills to find something that is connected with their own mentality, clear mind is to paint, not to imitate celebrities or masters, to copy it all, he is him, you are you, it is difficult to do the same.
One flower and one world, to be good at yourself is self, individual, individual is to be individual. Learning from others always has to be digested into oneself. Many people can't get out of learning art all their lives, and it is this problem that they have not opened up in their thinking. It's hard to have a look on your own.
No matter how good the ancients are, they are also the good of the ancients, and what do you have to do with them. Learning is the part of the universal law of learning commonality.
Recalling that I knew Teacher Liu Mu, it was also a coincidence, and even my daughter's name was added "Wen" after Teacher Liu Mu. I like my teacher Liu Mu, but also admire the teacher, the teacher's personality charm, spiritual quality is worthy of my admiration; its approachable, constantly exploring, willing to bland noble and elegant character is worth learning and inheriting!
When the teacher teaches, he will tell me: idealism is painting, spiritual peace and kindness, and the heart is in the tip of the pen. It has a great influence on me, and I have also benefited a lot, after all, painting is a person painting, so the person behind that painting is very important, and his state determines the state of the painting.
The teacher talked about the heart in the nib, not the force in the nib, I always wanted to express how I have kung fu, and used a lot of external forces on the nib. The lines look rough and powerful, but they are actually very floating, and the lines do not enter the heart, do not conform to the heart, so they do not look in place and not tasteful enough. In order to pursue the impact, the picture is always very strong, but the strong has, but it lacks a stable inner. Life is to slowly polish, slowly grow, look at Teacher Liu Mu's refreshed and calm and serene, I still have a long way to go.
Don't worry, take your time! Slowness is the road to art.
