In 2008, his works were exhibited at the Zhou Xiao Disaster Relief Exhibition.

In 2008, his works were exhibited at the Disaster Relief Exhibition of Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts.

In 2005, China-US abstract painting exhibition was invited (the participating artists were Li Xiqi, Feng and Yang Yongzhi).

In 2004, his works were exhibited at Beijing Millennium Monument.

His works were exhibited in the oil painting art exhibition "A Litigation" held in Hong Kong City Hall.

The content expressed in this painting is roughly divided into two parts, the sky above and the water below. The sphere presented in the painting plays the role of finishing touch in the painting. From the sphere, we can see all the ideas and concepts expressed in this painting, and these concepts are reflected in the picture through abstract or image techniques. The six-pointed star painted in the sphere expresses the central idea in the painting. Look at the artistic conception of this painting again: the operation of the celestial phenomena is just the opposite of the flow of rivers and flowing water on the ground, which is exactly what the hexagrams in the lawsuit mean: the upper hexagrams are the sky and the lower hexagrams are the water. Tianshui parted ways, and the Jews ran counter to each other and went to court surly. This is the general symbol of litigation in the world.

The meaning of this painting is that everything should follow the laws of natural development and not go against the normal development of nature. Violators will inevitably cause many unexpected consequences. That is, the litigation theory in the Book of Changes. At the same time, it is also suggested that people should not be too angry when they are slightly infringed. They should be good at making concessions, instead of striving for strength, that is to say, they should advocate the idea of "no litigation" to settle their differences, stop disputes and turn hostility into friendship, hoping to calm them down. Even if there is a dispute, we should mediate it in the right way. If there is no lawsuit, there is nothing. If there is nothing, there will be no blame. No disaster, no luck!

Interpretation of "One of Stripping"

The scene shown in the picture is divided into two parts: the mountain above and the ground below. And the ball in the middle plays the same role as the ball in my other works. That is, the "stubbornness" depicted by the sphere is the golden key to interpret this painting. If we look at the "hexagram" painted by the sphere in the painting "Peel One", we can see that this painting is the "hexagram" in the 23rd hexagram in the Book of Changes. The content expressed in the picture: rock weathering, soil erosion. The peeling mountain must be attached to the thick ground, which is the image of the "peeling" hexagram. A high-ranking monarch, like building a house, should consolidate the foundation and cultivate the yuan, and secure the world. Only by laying a solid foundation can he be protected from the storm. The profound significance of the twenty-third hexagram in the Book of Changes is reproduced in the painting: "A gentleman values news, is full of air, and is good at heaven." This is heaven. That is to say, even if some small people in society peel it so crazily, the result is still self-destruction, which is the law. Stripping is an inevitable phenomenon in the changing law, but it is not the mainstream after all, and it will still be punished if it is unscrupulous. The central idea reflected in the painting is also the central idea of "peeling" in the twenty-three hexagrams of the Book of Changes. Some people think that this society is corrupt when they look at some corrupt phenomena in society. When they see an official is not clean, they think that all officials in the world are not clean. This is one-sided and can't see the overall situation. The key problem is that we haven't seen the news, advantages and disadvantages of this natural development law. Since there is a law, it is inevitable that there will be villains to peel it, and it is impossible to peel it. Even though he is peeling, it looks crazy and harmful, but he can't peel the whole country. Part of it seems to be peeling off badly, but overall it's nothing, and he will recover in the end. Not the whole world stripped him, but he stripped himself. This is the law. Skywalker, Skywalker Avenue, only Avenue is not afraid of stripping.

God's wanton daubing —— Young oil painter Yang Yongzhi I know

Text: Chen Yiyi

Last spring, a tall, thin man with a long shawl and a pair of "Ren Dan" beards was quietly listening to other people in the corner at the panel discussion of CPPCC National Committee held in Dianbai. This spring, he attended the "two sessions" on time, or sat in the back row with a low profile. Others say that he is from Dianbaimagang and works as a professional oil painter in Guangzhou. Modesty is my first impression. Later, in May, when some members of the county's cultural and sports group organized a tour of the Three Gorges in Chongqing, it was his "details", such as not forgetting to bring painting tools to sketch the scenery of the Three Gorges on the spot, and finding wonderful moss patches at the root of the ancient wall of Baidicheng, that is, squatting down and taking close-ups with cameras. I, who was also interested in art, paid attention to him from that moment on. ...

Elephant's invisible loud voice

In fact, Yang Yongzhi has made his mark in Guangdong painting. In the words of Yin Dingbang, former vice chairman of Guangdong Artists Association and former vice president of Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts, "Yang Yongzhi is a young abstract oil painting artist in China in the new century!" Indeed, few people use modern abstract and traditional ink to create oil paintings, let alone Guangdong. I'm afraid he is the only one who has found a new way in abstract painting and explored the success of creating "the scenery of new Chinese painting"! The RSD Southern Professional Oil Paintings Group, which was immersed in Guangmei with Xiong Bin and Liu Nian at the same time, was called "New National Studies Oil Paintings" by the organizers at the second Guangzhou Art Fair in early May of 20 12, which became a highlight of this art fair and attracted the interest of many print media. Art Appreciation of Southern TV Station was awarded as "Oil Painting III".

On June 3rd, 20 12, the seventh stop of RSD Group's national tour exhibition was held in Zhuhai Daxiangshan Art Museum, and the author finally had a chance to see the creative works of this legendary group. The works of Yang Yongzhi, Liu Nian and Xiong Bin have their own artistic features and pursuits, which have attracted wide attention. Especially in the spacious and dim exhibition hall, the intoxicating red, dark blue, cold yellow and crisp white in Yang Yongzhi's oil paintings are so eye-catching! The beautiful abstract painting made the guests stop and stare for a long time. I appreciate Yang Yongzhi's eclectic and innovative ideas. He dares to integrate ancient and modern Chinese and foreign viewpoints, take all kinds of traditional and modern media, grope in creation, innovate in groping, take a unique road, and gradually establish his own artistic thoughts. Yes, his creativity seems romantic and uninhibited, but it is inseparable from his solid artistic foundation and diligent creation. It is precisely because he traveled thousands of miles away from the ancient Silk Road in the Western Regions to the frozen northland thousands of miles away that he can paint like a god, and restore the splendor of the scenery in the Western Regions and the northland with thousands of miles of color-whether it is alpine waterfalls, floating clouds on ice sheets or red earth, Leng Yue and blue lagoons rising in Ran Ran, with the help of multimedia materials, he has been able to freely change the amazing effect of traditional ink painting like magic, and the landscape paintings in the Song Dynasty are impressive.

When browsing Yang Yongzhi's abstract oil painting Landscape, another master of Chinese painting Xu's landscape painting will always flash in my mind. Mr. Xu, whose works and honors are equally famous, is unparalleled in his familiarity with southern landscapes. After years of hard work, the mountains and rivers, mountains and rivers, sea of smoke and sea of clouds in his works are not the same color, but the panoramic momentum is pounds, and there is no thunder everywhere. This is strikingly similar to Yang Yongzhi, a junior with the same thick accumulation and spectacular scenes. What changes each other is only the color, but the difference is only the creativity. Yang Yongzhi just abstracted the scenery. Elephants are invisible. They are loud and happy. Walking in front of Yang Yongzhi's works, no one will doubt his ability to control colors and his creativity in grasping aesthetic space.

Say goodbye to the noise and hide in the wild.

In the season, that is, the day after the exhibition of RSD in Zhuhai, the author and the editors of West Coast Art, Mr. Peng and Mr. Huang, rushed to Guangzhou to interview Yang Yongzhi. Coincidentally, an interview team from Dianbai TV came from Dianbai's hometown that day.

Before coming, I thought he just chose the secluded old barracks of the army as the studio, but I know that all the people who have been to his workplace are surprised and amazed. It turned out that he also came to join in the fun. He lived in Zhou Xiao Village, Guangzhou, where there were nearly 3,000 painters and many masters and craftsmen. It is precisely because there are many prodigals in the painting world of Zhou Xiao Village that his studio is often crowded with customers, drinking tea during the day and drinking at night. Three years suddenly passed in pushing a cup for a change, and he was annoyed that he could not calm down and create. At this time, a businessman named Li appreciated his talent and painting and asked him why he was depressed and lost his mind. He told the whole story, saying that it was rare to have time to create here, and there were too many external interference factors, so he wanted to find another place. Li, the boss of Dafang, said that he had packed several hills near Huadu and Conghua, where the mountains and rivers were beautiful and it was a good place for painting in seclusion. The two hit it off and went to the scene to have a look. Wow! Surrounded by rolling mountains and dense forests, the scenery is really unique! Because there is a training base used by the Guangzhou Military Region all the year round nearby, the only way up the mountain is through the military camp, and there are soldiers guarding the gate, so safety is absolutely no problem. With the help of his boss, Li, he began to build a shed, reclaim land and raise fish by the lake. He once lived alone in the "Nanniwan" on the mountain for a year.

Nowadays, accompanied by an honest man, A Zhong, Nanniwan is excellent in cooking and driving skills, and has gradually been transformed into a "Kansai Taiwan" mountain villa. I remember a sentence in Shi Shuo Xin Yu: "You don't have to be far away from your heart, but you are surrounded by forests and water, and you have your own wealth. When you think about it in the middle of the street, you think that birds, animals, birds and fish have come to your relatives. " It seems that this is the place to talk. It is said that the big ones are hidden in the DPRK, the middle ones are hidden in the city, and the small ones are hidden in the wild. Although Yang Yongzhi stays away from downtown and avoids the world, his reputation can't stop people who appreciate him from visiting him. On the day of our interview, in addition to another TV media, a hotel owner named He in Sanshui City came to order a big painting from him. There are also two large oil paintings hanging in the studio, which were ordered by the president of Haier Group with a large sum of money. The other party said: pay for the painting and show it here.

Yang Yongzhi's residence and studio were built on a half slope along the mountain. Because the source of Liuxi River passes under the mountain, it has another name: Guanxitai. Except electricity, everything else is original ecology and environmental protection. Lonely and empty mountain, in addition to the assistant Mr. and Mrs. Zhong who occasionally came from Shenzhen to visit, he was accompanied by a German "black-backed" German German shepherd sent by the army and a Belgian "search and rescue dog" sent by the armed police. Two dogs, one black and one yellow, four kittens, two robins, and a group of native chickens are called "paradise" for modern people, and this kind of high sleep is natural. Although it's not July, it's hot outside and the burning wind blows on my face, I don't feel stuffy in his spacious studio. He said that the house is surrounded by thick walls and the roof is bark, which has good thermal insulation. If air conditioning is used, it will be a great waste to the natural environment. I suddenly noticed that there was nothing around the coffee table carved by bare big tree roots. Where did the water for making tea come from and where did it go? After pointing out the maze, we can know that the water sent directly to the teapot comes from the mountain spring, enters the room from the ground, and the waste tea is also discharged directly from the ground-this is the same as we usually receive water from the mineral water bucket, flow the waste tea into the spare bucket next to the coffee table and then transport it away. His drainage design is so ingenious! A green vine is wrapped around the tea table, which makes the brown tea table full of vitality. A Min, the American hostess, was curious: "Is it plastic?" How long is it? "

The cool breeze and bright moon are enjoyed by everyone, but not everyone can enjoy it. In this beautiful villa, everything is quite troublesome, which embodies its aesthetics, as long as people who have been there are lingering. Don't underestimate this humble studio in the villa. People who enjoy climbing the mountain, come to watch the creation, have tea and chat include officers and soldiers, intellectuals and media workers, big entrepreneurs and ordinary employees, civil servants and nearby villagers. In these tea-tasting chats intentionally or unintentionally, he often caught the spark of the collision between Yangchun Baixue and Xialiba people's thoughts, and used it properly to enlighten future creations.

What can a good wife and husband ask?

I asked Yang Yongzhi how this trio came into being. Do these three English letters have other meaning? He said that R.S.D originated from the first letter of Pinyin, representing Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism in China traditional culture. The reason for forming an alliance in this form is to carry forward the traditional culture, take oil painting as a profession, and learn from the teachings of ancient sages and sages, "make a heart for the world, make a life for the people, carry forward the past and forge ahead into the future, and make the world peaceful." When it comes to combination, it is also inevitable by accident. He said that Xiong Bin was the mastermind of this group, and he wanted to find two oil painters with similar interests, whose creative styles were different, but they were Zen-minded, and formed the alliance of "New Sinology Oil Painting". When he found Yang Yongzhi, he was first rebuffed by Yang: "I just moved out of the village, and I'm afraid to bury piles together and hide here to meditate and do some creation, so leave me alone!" When the other party repeatedly looked for him, indicating that this combination has advantages and disadvantages and will not affect the creation, Cai Yang nodded and agreed to "go out of the mountain".

I asked him, "Once upon a time, there was a mountain, a temple on the mountain, and an old monk in the temple." He said. His wife is very understanding and supportive, and often comes up to see him with a pair of children. Speaking of his wife Shao, she really deserves to be a wife. He and his wife are both white. When they were young, they liked art since childhood and were classmates. Maybe people who like art are precocious. They have been dragging their hands since high school. After the college entrance examination, the two lovers separated temporarily. Yang Yongzhi went to Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts, and Shao enrolled in Maoming's e-commerce related major. After graduation, Yang Yongzhi began his career as a professional painter, while Shao went to Shenzhen to do computer typesetting and design work, trying to make money to support Yang Yongzhi's artistic dream. After marriage, Shao, who has a good artistic background, turned to open a gallery and returned to what he likes to do. A relatively large gallery opened in Dafen Village, Longgang. She said that her gallery never sells her husband's paintings, because Yang Yongzhi's paintings are too expensive, costing hundreds of thousands. However, her husband's oil paintings are never unsalable, and often the deposit is collected for half a year, but the paintings are delayed.

I asked Yang Yongzhi again, why did the traditional oil painting, which was originally handy, take the risk of painting abstract oil paintings? He sincerely answered truthfully: First, he should express his unconstrained thoughts and paint traditional things. Objects are almost fixed on landscapes and people ... and will not change much. Only abstract, unbound framework; Second, abstract works of art, that is, benevolent people have different opinions, and wise people have different opinions, so that the viewer can see but not understand. Besides, I have entered the most mature stage of forgetting things.

Yang Yongzhi, who finally got out of his life predicament, has a vast world and is on his way to participate in major art exhibitions and auctions of relevant authorities. I finally understand why he is obsessed with the creation of abstract oil paintings and does not regret his choice in this life-all because there is a true love woman behind a successful man. With a good wife at home, what else can a husband ask for? Interestingly, his children, who are in junior high school and primary school, have also inherited their parents' artistic cells, and they all have a strong interest in painting. In a few years' time, will this Yang family be the "Three Masters"? It's hard to say.

This is the impression that the maverick Yang Yongzhi gave me from the inside out.
