Main experience

Work "every day"

Sun Yumin likes painting since he was a child. After graduating from junior high school, he joined the propaganda group and began to paint portraits of Chairman Mao.

1970 because of her painting expertise, she entered the cultural center. While completing the task of promoting painting, she became a teacher. While tutoring students, she also tried various painting techniques.

1977, Sun Yumin was successfully admitted to Luxun Academy of Fine Arts. Four years of hard study laid a solid foundation for her, and her unyielding personality made her choose meticulous painting that was not popular at that time. For her graduation writing, she gave up the rest of winter vacation and went to remote rural areas to experience life, capturing every detail from life and establishing a creative theme of rural primary schools as usual. In order to deal with the "blackboard" on the screen, she tried to use lines, pens and ink, and at the same time took the wood grain of the blackboard as the key object. She first put the wood block with bright wood grain under the silk, rubbed it with white wax, and then found out the lines with ink. The white blackboard image appears where the white wax is left. She also applied oil pastels to the pictures, vividly depicting many real details, such as the old and gorgeous blackboard in rural primary schools, which greatly enhanced the artistic appeal and found her own artistic language. "Everyday Up" became the graduation creation of Luxun Academy of Fine Arts in Grade 77, and Sun Yumin also established his own artistic style of meticulous and light color.

Work "Autumn"

After graduating from college, Sun Yumin was assigned to Liaoning Painting Academy to engage in professional painting creation. From 65438 to 0982, Sun Yumin went to Beijing to attend the figure painting creation research class of the Chinese Painting Research Institute of the Ministry of Culture. Here, she can listen to the teachings of many masters, and Pan Zi's high hopes for revitalizing China's meticulous painting have had a far-reaching impact on her. Sun Yumin, calm in appearance and stubborn in heart, devoted himself to artistic creation with the spirit of hard study and hard struggle. "Quiet Birch Forest" won the Excellent Works Award in the 60th Anniversary Art Exhibition of China People's Liberation Army, and was also praised by Pan Zi.

Sun Yumin's works are full of good wishes for life and the world. She prefers those creative themes that are positive, lofty and just, and expresses her inner yearning for truth, goodness and beauty with poetic descriptions. 1985, influenced by the spirit of women's volleyball girls, he created an oil painting Autumn, which expressed the spiritual world of China women's volleyball players' exploration, thinking and pursuit with a moment when a woman's volleyball player held the ball with both hands and bowed her head in meditation. The picture composition is concise and concise, and the inner world of the characters is vividly expressed with highly summarized and refined line shapes. This painting won the first prize in the "International Olympic Sports and Art Competition", which is the first time that a painter from China won a gold medal in this competition. In this way, Sun Yumin boarded the International Olympic Conference Center in Barcelona and accepted the award certificate signed by IOC President jacques rogge.

Work "Three Women"

When Sun Yumin was widely praised for her elegant, fresh, poetic and romantic artistic style, she was deeply dissatisfied. She is worried that her paintings are too beautiful and familiar, and her skills and styles slowly fall into a fixed format, thus losing the ability of artistic innovation. 1989, Sun Yumin, a 4-year-old child, entered the advanced class of Chinese painting department of Central Academy of Fine Arts and began to create and study portraits. 1990, she once again entered the Central Academy of Fine Arts to attend the workshop of Kayama Matazo, a professor at Tokyo University of the Arts. Her vision was further broadened and she noticed the problem of modeling structure. She draws nutrition from the creations of Paul Cézanne and Modigliani, and also draws lessons from China's classical modeling methods, but still does not give up the beneficial nutrition from folk art. 199 1 year, she applied her simplified and deformed brushwork to household names, created the work "Three Women" depicting the images of Qiu Jin, Zhao Yiman and Soong Ching Ling, and participated in the first China Art Exhibition; 1994, her "Green Tea" vividly described the inner temperament of three female painters and won the excellent works of the Eighth National Art Exhibition. From 65438 to 0996, she took one of her friends as a model and created Zhuo Ru, which skillfully revealed the inner psychological activities of the characters and vividly showed her works. Her works participated in the invitation exhibition of female painters in China.

200 1, Sun Yumin was transferred to Tsinghua University Academy of Fine Arts as a teacher. She devoted all her time and energy to teaching and training talents.

In 2006, her Smoke Clouds participated in the Beijing International Biennale. In 2007, based on a badminton player, she created the Olympic theme "Ball", focusing on the color of China and the spirit of China. Now, Sun Yumin, who has reached the age of destiny, has extended his creative tentacles to people and things around him. For her, the materials are at hand and there is no need to ask for them. At this time, skills, modeling and color all retreated to a secondary position. She uses skills and means without showing any trace, and pays full attention to depicting the inner world of the characters. She still uses poetry and ideals to explore and carry forward the beauty that originally existed in daily life.

Female consciousness

As a wife, mother and artist, Sun Yumin often shows a strong female consciousness. This is not only reflected in a series of themes she chose, but also in the themes she tried to express-self-esteem, self-love, self-improvement, self-reliance, and the spirit of tolerance, understanding and sacrifice of maternal love. The female perspective makes her creation more delicate and pays more attention to details. This spiritual connotation makes Sun Yumin even seem out of touch in today's society, but she sticks to her ideals and beliefs with tenacity and practices her artistic pursuit in school work and artists' studios. Sun Yumin is far away from Shang Chao and noise. She hardly sells paintings, and most of the works in the exhibition are in her own hands. She smiled and said that these works are like her own sons. "I really don't want to exchange my son for money!" Moreover, whether participating in exhibitions or donating works, every painting was created by her heart. She cherishes her works as much as her feathers, because she regards artistic pursuit as her ultimate goal in life, and money is only the means to realize this process. Because of this, she strives to be "indifferent" and indifferent to her ambitions. For her, the process of artistic pursuit itself is happiness.

artistic style

Characteristics of works

Sun Yumin's meticulous figure painting works, with its profound spiritual implication, elegant colors, concise brushwork, vigorous lines and vivid changes, show the aesthetic orientation of attaching importance to interest and seeking simplicity in Chinese painting and her good thinking and maturity in pursuing high style. Sun Yumin's meticulous figure painting has a high academic level and artistic character, and has a distinct national spirit and oriental artistic charm. Sun Yumin once said: "The simplest is the most impactful."

be adept in

Sun Yumin is not only good at portraying the spiritual world of characters, but also deliberately pursues the tendency of elegant colors, concise modeling and prominent line consciousness in art, and has been along this road, forming her unique style and temperament. Over the years, meticulous painting has a tendency, that is, meticulous painting means pursuing the complexity and delicacy of painting, while heavy color means richness and color, resulting in vulgar works and low style. From this point of view, Sun Yumin's paintings and her choices are really well-intentioned, unique and remarkable. As Zhang Yanyuan said of Wu Daozi, "Everyone is close to hope, but I am far from it." Wu Daozi pioneered the style of "sparse body", which is his genius.

Spiritual taste

Sun Yumin's portrait art has creative value in inheriting tradition and embodying modern spiritual interest. Portrait painting has a rich and precious tradition in both China and western painting. In the west, portrait art has a lofty position, because it is difficult to pursue calm and mental state portrayal. However, China's figure painting has always been vivid, and he has accumulated a lot of experience since Gu Kaizhi in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Ren Bonian, a modern painter, is a talented portrait painter. Sun Yumin, on the other hand, is a painter trained by the modern art education system. After strict training, she combines Chinese and western styles and has a solid foundation in realistic modeling. But what makes her outstanding is that she dares to surpass, grasp the characteristics and take the spirit directly. For example, her painting "Mr. Penz" is a successful model, with vivid description and both form and spirit.
