Xu tianyi is smart, diligent and hard-working. He has been painting since he was a child, and he has an early talent. During my college years, I studied painting, calligraphy, seal cutting, design and many other fields, and also tried to recruit talents and learn from others. Especially in the field of calligraphy, he is brilliant and has a voice. His rough list of books, Dance in Yunlong, is bold, heavy and boundless, which is difficult to correspond to his age. His works have been selected for various national exhibitions for many times, winning prizes and being collected. Young calligraphers, in order to sit up and take notice in professional circles.

Xu Yi, who is young but not frivolous, is sincere, upright, restrained and modest. He is quick-thinking, diligent in reading, good at summing up and daring to innovate. He has a deep understanding of life, a persistent pursuit of art and a unique experience and understanding of life. Paying attention to "the communication between human and human nature" makes his works have the realm of the unity of mind and matter and the unity of spirit and matter.

Xu Yi's calligraphy follows the shape of the characters, following the trend, and its composition is dangerous. The habit of books is that ordinary people dare not touch, imitate and copy. However, Xu Yi can always do whatever he wants, get rid of danger and work miracles inadvertently. Such as Blue Mountain House, Mianbi, Shede, Yichuan Huaqi, knowing white and keeping black, enjoying yourself and so on. Splash ink in the rapid collision between the pen and the rice paper, brand the mark of the magic pen, and solidify the instant passion into an eternal art. This is a highly dangerous writing style, which can often touch people's nerves and shock viewers. This special writing style stems from his solid and profound foundation and bold and innovative spirit of daring to transcend barriers. Therefore, once his works appear in the exhibition, they are always eye-catching and breathtaking.

A few days ago, a huge calligraphy work named Ling He Yuanji, located in lingyuan city, Liaoning Province, was completed. It was magnificent, magnificent and magnificent. The work is carved on a boulder 2 meters high and 9 meters long. Fang Bi is engraved on the monument, and the magnolia tree is magnificent and elegant. His works have been published and widely praised, and have become the landmark buildings in lingyuan city. The original work is 668 words, with exquisite brushwork, vigorous and sophisticated. It is now collected in lingyuan city Museum and has become one of the important representative works of Xu Yi's calligraphy.

Xu Yi is also rough, crazy and delicate in painting, which shows his extraordinary modeling skills and expressive force, and his comprehensive mastery and application of art forms also makes him have excellent performance. Xu Yi's paintings are extremely thorough, accurate in description, lively in overall rhythm, more skillful in detail description, bold in color and elegant in technique, which embodies the solid basic skills behind Xu Yi's works and the tenacious character tempered by years. The ancients said that "plum blossoms are bitter and cold." He knows his way, works hard and stays up all night. That is, he is good at epiphany and gradual cultivation, that is, he pays attention to pen and ink and studies the charm of pen and ink. Guan Xuyi's paintings and calligraphy works are elegant and unrestrained, splashing ink and dizzy, which shows the height of Xu's paintings and calligraphy.

Xu Yi's understanding of life, art and painting theory is often similar to that of his peers. "Tao is time-based and reason is day-based." His understanding of man and nature, his pursuit of art, his perception of life and his admiration for tradition all flowed between the lines and in his brushwork. I have a deep understanding of various artistic fusion methods such as "the meaning of the book, the freehand brushwork of the painting, the engraved heart and the unintentional plan".

Xu Yi is still young and has a long way to go in the future. He should not only have the merits of "eighteen martial arts", but also have the foundation of inheriting the context and the soul of profound thoughts. "Only by practicing hard, being good at cultivating the mind and understanding the Tao can he be clear."

There is no end to learning, and Xu Yi is proud of his artistic path.
