Some people think that Chinese painting.

The essence lies in the ink landscape, a very elegant, showing the temperament of the literati, but most of Huang Yongyu's paintings are thick and colorful, so some people once said that his Chinese paintings are not authentic. But Huang Yongyu didn't take these people and these words to heart at all, his main painting is to study painting, he doesn't paint a painting he is familiar with all day long, he always has to find a way to paint a picture that has never been painted, with unfamiliar skills to explore some subjects, or overcome difficulties, or overcome its color problems, or other problems, sometimes think about it for many years.

In his paintings, lotus flowers are very stylized subjects, but the lotus flowers painted by Huang Yongyu do not give people the feeling of being very high and high, but a very gorgeous and splendid temperament. Huang Yongyu joked: Where do lotus flowers grow from? What is sludge that grows out of sludge?

The picture is very full, that is, the so-called "airtight", this kind of image is basically absorbing Western law and doing a lot of self-processing, and the picture is complicated. Most of them use a lot of color, and the color is intense.

Huang Yongyu's creative characteristics

1. Printmaking.

Huang Yongyu's printmaking makes flexible use of black and white color schemes, with novel ideas and childlike pictures, forming a fresh and bright interest and unique style. Specifically, Huang Yongyu's printmaking style has also changed in different eras. In the 40s of the 20th century, his prints were mainly literary illustrations, biased towards the aesthetics of literature, and most of them were naïve fairy tales and animal worlds.

Until the 50s of the 20th century, Huang Yongyu found a new way and innovatively used lines to form a delicate printmaking language style.

In the 60s of the 20th century, Huang Yongyu's printmaking techniques reached a mature stage in terms of illustration, subject creation and portraiture, showing romantic personal characteristics in the paradigm of realism. Even in the late 70s of the 20th century, after Huang Yongyu's creative focus shifted to ink painting, he could still see the shadow of printmaking in ink painting.

2. Painting creation.

Huang Yongyu's painting style is beautiful and turbulent, and his creative techniques are mixed and matched, including symbolism, fauvism, classicism, realism, and writing based on the slow splash of ink, so his manuscript painting materials are also eclectic, covering ink, oil paint, and acrylic.

Among them, ink painting is the most prominent form of Huang Yongyu's art creation. Huang Yongyu's ink painting began in the 50s of the 20th century, and has now formed his own unique personal style. In terms of brushwork and ink, Huang Yongyu introduced the aesthetic method of strong contrast between black and white in printmaking, and often used a large area of brushwork.

In terms of modeling lines, the central brush of traditional Chinese painting breaks through the conventions, and has its own uniqueness in white drawing and human body lines.

In terms of the structure of the picture, it absorbs Western law, uses more colors, and the picture is intense, enriching the picture with complex colors and large inscriptions. At the same time, literariness is also an important characteristic of Huang Yongyu's paintings. This is mainly reflected in Huang Yongyu's good use of the form of inscriptions, which supplement the picture with inscriptions, and integrate his personal speculation and humor.

Huang Yongyu's works are different from traditional Chinese paintings.

Huang Yongyu's Water Margin character series began to be created in 1987 and completed at the end of September of the following year. It is said that this work is said to be better than Qi Baishi, his paintings are very unique, and this series of works shows his playful side.

In fact, the characters in the painting focus on showing the willful and innocent side of the characters, dissolving the serious and heavy personality of the archetype. This is also what Huang Yongyu wants to express, no matter what the eyes of the world think, this is the case with my paintings.

The painters of that year were all multi-skilled, and they were proficient in all eighteen kinds of martial arts. In particular, woodcarving, which was praised by Lu Xun as a particularly combative art form, is very handy, and Huang Yongyu is also good at it. Fan Zeng and Huang Yongyu had a deep personal grudge, and while criticizing Huang's woodcuts for their lack of connotation and "not good at black and white comparison", they also had to admit that Huang's works were extremely meticulous and "made good use of knife changes".

This shows that Huang Yongyu is indeed outstanding in the use of lines. The importance of line cannot be overemphasized for Chinese painters. In the early 50s of the last century, Huang Yongyu created a set of color woodcut illustrations for the long folk narrative poem "Ashima" of the Sani people, which fully proved his talent.
