Liu Zhengxing's artistic understanding
Artistic inspiration needs artists' enthusiasm for life, while the way to express it requires good sensory stimulation. Nonetheless, the genuine sceneries are always more lifeful than the artificial art works.
The unique and inspiring stylistic language comes from real life instead of imitation and even copy of one artist's signs.
The appreciation of art works is full of vagueness and illusion. The art, featured in multi-cultural integration, requires the artistic creation to be a mixture of multi-cultural elements. It is as an outstanding man in one field is unlikely to master the knowledge of only one field.
The art requires persistent pursuit, learning, accumulation and creation. Only with his most familiar technique, an artist can convey his sensibilities to the paintings within the shortest time.
The symbol of art is simplicity. An insightful artistic thinking conveyed by simple expressive techniques is great transcendence to the reality.
If one could do one thing persistently for several years or even for several decades with no concerns about paying back, no matter wealth, social status, or any material gains, this one thing must bring him great happiness and satisfaction. This one thing can only be art, and nothing else can do.
The art is creative repetition while the skill is simple one. (Zhu Qingshi, an academician of China Science Institute and president of university of china science and technology once said, science is the study of the objective world irrelevant to the ideological world, and it can be repeated while art is the study of the objective world through subjective consciousness, and cannot be repeated.)
Artists should be good at discovering, appreciating and create beauty. The key to an artist is discovery while a scientist focuses on invention.
An artist should have his own language signs and features. One feature is more important than one thousand edges.
All theory is grey and green of life and creation.
Artistic works can never surpass nature, and only be closer to nature.
