Source Heart Method - Presenting a boundless realm

Thirty years is only a short moment in the long river of Chinese culture and art, but for artists who are committed to their hearts, 30 years is not only the accumulation and precipitation in the process of artistic exploration, but also the development process of the artist's personal language from embryonic to mature. Perhaps due to the influence of Western painting education in his early years and the permeation of Oriental art, Liang Liansheng had already integrated Eastern and Western art concepts as early as the 90s of the last century, reconstructed the aesthetic concepts in the traditional and contemporary contexts in the expression of his works, and creatively developed an artistic style with the beauty of the times.

Among the hundreds of works displayed in the Liang Liansheng Art Museum, the art forms involve Chinese painting, oil painting, watercolor, porcelain, etc., whether it is the combination of Chinese and Western lotus winds, or the ancient feelings of landscape imagery, all permeated with his unique artistic philosophy. Liang Liansheng said: "Art is emotional, while technology is rational, and I don't agree with the same way to complete all works. Painting pays attention to the depiction of gods with objects, and the subject of my painting must first move me, and the art category serves my ideas and creative desires. ”

Over the past 30 years, Liang Liansheng has been following his inner emotions and desires in his creation, using dots, lines and surfaces to express what he thinks, and using light, shadow and color to support his aspirations.

"I am a painter of this era, so I want to reflect the aesthetics of this era, and the tradition needs to be inherited and carried forward, and it also needs to be improved and promoted, and I think this is the mission of the current painter." Therefore, Liang Liansheng adheres to the romantic poetry of traditional Chinese painting, and also accommodates the ultimate beauty of sunset art, and this unique painting style has been widely recognized and praised by the public and industry insiders.

With the Dutch intention - to reach the feelings in the heart

In 2018, Liang Liansheng created a huge 17-meter-long and 7-meter-wide "Lotus Flower in the Sun" for the main venue of the SCO Qingdao Summit, which attracted much attention, which officially reflected his integration of Eastern and Western art. In the work, the lotus flowers and lotus leaves are bold, the dots are delicate, the lines are criss-crossed, and the blocks are intertwined, with a strong oriental color.

The whole picture is based on tradition, integrating the division of space, light and shadow and communication in Western painting theory, and the unique treatment method makes the ink form add the heaviness of oil painting, making the picture more tense and deep. Liang Liansheng said of the conception of the work: "Chinese culture is very particular about allegories, including homonyms, metaphors, etc. The harmony between the Netherlands and traditional Chinese culture symbolizes peace, unity and cooperation. Painting this work is also a deep blessing to the motherland. When I was creating, I added warm and cold changes on the basis of traditional techniques, and used the combination of the focal perspective in the concept of Western painting and the scattered perspective in Chinese painting, so that the picture was full of choice and rhythm. ”

Liang Liansheng loves lotus, and he believes that lotus flowers are an important part of his art system, and this part carries the sincere feelings of the painter and the unique emotional expression of the world.

Enlightenment of art - the road to Danqing

The artist's artistic outlook is always conceived in the era in which he lives, and Liang Liansheng's works are inseparable from his life experience and experience. In the 80s of the last century, for the sake of his beloved painting career, he gave up a relatively comfortable lifestyle and resolutely embarked on the road of ascetic pursuit of art. When talking about his experience and creation, Liang Liansheng said: "A good work of art is composed of many elements, including the artist's thoughts, feelings, experiences, and even his ups and downs. The art presented in this way has a story and a temperature. ”

It is this insistence on painting that makes his inner desire to create a good consolation, from mountains and rivers to rivers, from cangmu to lotus sunflowers, he depicts all things with the most sincere emotions, and pursues the lofty and magnificent artistic realm with a rebellious style. As a practitioner of Eastern and Western art, Liang Liansheng has been moving forward in the realm of combining tradition and contemporary, with his unwavering creative beliefs.
