Ye Limei, a member of the China Artists Association, returned to her hometown qiuchang to open a studio
Ye Limei.
Everyone has a hometown in their hearts, and even if they travel far, their roots still tie their homeland. Ye Limei now works for the China Academy of Art, with more and more titles and auras: member of the China Artists Association, national second-level artist, member of the Art Working Committee of the Youth Federation of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, researcher of the Chinese Painting Creation Research Institute, researcher of the China Gongbi Heavy Color Painting Research Association, member of the Chinese Women Painters Association... However, she still wants to return to her hometown, show the beauty of autumn in her hometown with the pen in her hand, and promote the cultural characteristics of her hometown.
Limei is a native of Qiuchang Gaobu Village in Huiyang District, and has made great achievements in the field of domestic gongbi painting.
"To learn is to learn, to learn is to learn, to cultivate is to cultivate." Ye Limei was born in Huiyang Qiuchang, in 2005, because of a rare opportunity to study, but also because of the difficulty of giving up the pursuit of painting in her heart, Ye Limei resolutely went to Beijing to study, studied under the famous Chinese painter Jiang Caiping, and opened the road of dedication to the creation of gongbi painting. Later, she visited and had the honor of becoming a disciple of the flower and bird master Guo Yiwei. Under the guidance and influence of the two masters, she mainly studied the painting of flowers and birds in gongbi, and made great achievements in the field of gongbi painting in China.
Her flowers and birds are full of femininity, just like her gentle appearance, she shows elegance and warmth between her hands and feet, and her flowers and birds are also delicate and gentle. However, in terms of color, Ye Limei can integrate the spicy, thick tones with the boneless painting method, presenting a painting style with warm connotations but without losing strength.
"Everyone has a ancestral complex, and the most meaningful and vital place in my work is my hometown." Ye Limei said that as a cultural person, her hometown is full of cultural construction, and she has an unshirkable responsibility. Nowadays, Qiu Chang's implementation of the rural revitalization strategy is in full swing, and by chance, at the invitation of her hometown, she gladly agreed to return to her hometown to open a studio, paint the scenery of her hometown, and contribute to the revitalization of the countryside.
Every time she returns to her hometown, she gives special lectures and collects creative topics
In August this year, at the Huizhou Tingxiu Charity Association and the Huizhou Tingxiu Charity Foundation 2018 Scholarship and Scholarship Conference, Ye Limei provided a satisfactory work of gongbi painting "Spring Wind Ten Miles" for auction. The work was auctioned off by a local entrepreneur for 1 million yuan, and the auction proceeds were donated to the Tingxiu Charity Foundation as a bursary.
In August this year, after the Autumn Changye Limei Studio was put into use, she brought back her new works from Beijing one by one in batches, mailed over her published works or collections, and gradually enriched the studio. Usually, the studio is open to the public for free, and interested people can come here to see and chat, which has become a local cultural exchange center. Every time she returned to her hometown, she also carried out special lectures to bring baptism and enlightenment to the local people. She said she is eager to let more young people know about Chinese culture and then about their hometown culture.
Recently, Ye Limei has to go to the neighborhood to see when she returns to her hometown, collect creative themes and look for creative inspiration, "There are many bauhinia and Manjushri in her hometown, and she plans to create works with these two flowers as the theme, implying the achievements of hometown construction." ”
"Every time I introduce my hometown of Huiyang Qiuchang to others, I say that it is the hometown of General Ye Ting, and qiuchang has three cultures: Hakka culture, red culture, and overseas Chinese culture." Ye Limei said that if there is more time in her hometown in the future, she must visit the local elderly and be a recorder of "oral history" to form certain materials and preserve the cultures that are disappearing. Next, she will consciously mobilize a group of experts in the art circle to come to her hometown to collect style creation and publicity, with the help of their pen and ink, use the art form of calligraphy and painting to spread the beauty of her hometown, drum and shout for the construction of her hometown, and let the outside world understand the characteristics of autumn.
