Since her debut in the 1980s, Yu Hong has become well known, and so far, her reputation has been circulating in the art world for more than 40 years, and she also has too many labels, "big sister", "works so far no one has surpassed", "genius girl".
▲ Painter Yu Hong
Born in Beijing in 1966, he entered the CAFA Oil Painting Department in 1988 and is now working as a teacher at CAFA, while also working on his own creations. From the first national art exhibition in 1986, he has been exhibiting solo and group exhibitions for 34 years, and many works of art have been treasured by artists.
Most of the works are collected by private collectors at home and abroad.
In particular, this sketch she painted in 1984, "David".
A big guy is a big guy
This David at the time
Successfully appeared on the cover of art textbooks in colleges and universities across the country
Recognized as "the best David in the history of the Central Academy of Fine Arts"
For 36 years, no one has surpassed it
Localized eye
The ear is connected to the hair locally
Bottom of the nose and mouth
Read the local details
The Great Painter really can't calm down
Delicate brushstrokes, lines are stuck in place
It's like a living David standing in front of your eyes
Reminiscing about the creative process of "David"
This is an assignment when Yu Hong was in college, when the college required training to paint plaster, so he chose to paint David, the purpose of creation is: David may be a classic, first of all, it is a classic work of Michelangelo, and the other is that it is very complex, very exercise their skills.

The painting took her a total of 4 weeks
In fact, before Yu Hong,
Xu Bing once painted a painting called the best sketch in history, "David"
But this record was later broken by Yu Hong

At that time, in terms of painting skills, Yu Hong could be said to be stronger than many people, including Liu Xiaodong, who later became his lover.
For more than 30 years, Yu Hong has created more than one, from the transformation of the city, to the establishment of the family, to the birth of the child... Now that yu hong is a top figure in art, people say that Yu Hong is the "big sister" and "strong woman" of the Chinese painting world, but Yu Hong says that she is an ordinary painter.

People sighed and wondered why Yu Hong could arrange the time of teaching, creation, marriage, and having children so well, but Yu Hong said: As long as you want, time is squeezed out, and time is your best arrangement.
From the beginning of the creation to the birth of Yu Hong's daughter, people began to expect Yu Hong to create a daughter, but she said: Her daughter's biggest advice is not to be an artist.

Reminisce about the road of oil painting creation
Everything I paint is expressed from within me
In that era, I was the same as all college graduates, very anxious, not knowing how to develop in the future, what to draw.
Now more rational, want to know what I paint, the theme of my painting has not changed, it is all about the shortness of life and the fragility of uncertainty, all my series and subject matter are about this, never changed.
Yu Hong's oil painting has a strong sense of color
The works pay attention to shape, composition, and color matching
Each painting is full of story
Although the brushstrokes of the work are not very delicate
But the realistic portrayal of space is deep, and the thinking is clear
It's all about the sensitivity, fragility of human nature,
Stories of dignity, diaphragm, helplessness, sincerity and love...
Each picture is vaguely permeated with a narrative atmosphere of immersion in the heart
She draws mostly on scenes of life, the brevity of life, the weaknesses of human nature, and so on. See everything with your own eyes and create.
For example, this painting "Witnessing Growth" is based on the background of her and her young daughter's growth as two generations, and the child is like a blank piece of paper in front of the artist. It is almost impossible to know the final result in front of the picture, and it is impossible for parents to decide what kind of person their children will become in the future.

Reminiscing about the road of red marriage history
At that time, Yu Hong was also recognized as the flower of the Central American School, many male students in the school fell in love with her at first sight, she was also targeted by Liu Xiaodong, a poor boy in the Central American Annex, and also stalked and chased after her, at that time, Liu Xiaodong was still a poor northeast baby, no money and no appearance, probably because of the thick skin and finally succeeded in picking up Yu Hong.

Yu Hong and Liu Xiaodong
In the eyes of men
Yu Hong is beautiful, generous, talented, and virtuous
It's perfect
For example, she is a perfect wife and mother, but more importantly, she is an artist, and the critic Shang Hui is even more spicy: "Without Liu Xiaodong, she may be more perfect." ”
Previously, it was also rumored that Liu Xiaodong and his wife Yu Hong were divorced
In fact, people are still fine
Don't worry about people
For decades, Yu Hong has not quarreled with Liu Xiaodong, she said that the quarrel is too tired, you are willing to do whatever you want, "I am not a very clingy personality, and I will not be spoiled; Liu Xiaodong is a person who loves to be spoiled, she is our family's child." ”

For her work, others asked her: What skills do you have in painting? Yu Hong said: I am not a person who loves art very much, I just hold a learning mentality, there is no special skill in painting, this is just the accumulation and summary of the usual.
Study art
First of all, you have to like it
The industry is actually very bitter
If you don't like it, it's hard to stick with it
If you want to be an artist, you can be an artist
Don't want to be when there are ten thousand reasons
