The rough brushwork/strong colors/bold composition form a unique artistic style. The lack of delicate carving and over-emphasis on the shape of objects makes his works more childlike and brings aesthetic enjoyment to the viewers. Hu Yichuan's oil painting style can be summarized in a few words: simple, thick, heavy, clumsy, spicy and powerful.
Jane means simplicity. The structure of his paintings is simple and grand. What is rare is that it is simple but not simple and empty. Simplicity has a very substantial connotation. Coarse means rough, especially the brushwork is very bold and decisive, and it is done in one go. , and is good at using short and thick strokes to express the inner feelings; heavy means using thick colors in the brush, and the shape has a strong sense of volume and weight; clumsy means that the shape and use of the brush are childish and innocent, without any slick habits; spicy means The colors are strong and the brushwork has a raw beauty, without that creamy tone; power is strength. He said: "When music becomes the roar of everyone, it can produce great power." His prints are the roar of the masses, and his oil paintings are like rap songs. They are not "karaoke" for brothers and sisters.
He grasped his personality very early, and once he grasped it, he held on to it. No matter what others said or criticized, he always persisted.
Hu Yichuan has a famous saying: "Be honest in life and naughty in painting."
Revolutionary literature and art does not mean that the artist’s true temperament is ignored, nor does it mean that he or she does not need the freedom to create and imagine. The key lies in whether he or she is a revolutionary. Just as Lu Xun said: What flows from the blood vessels is always blood. The purpose of "naughty" is to achieve freedom and true temperament. You cannot be "naughty" between true and false. When it comes to choosing between true and false, Hu Yichuan is not careless or "naughty" at all.
We have been in contact with each other for several years in the Luyi Woodcut Working Group. The reason why the woodcut works he created in that era can be passed down is because those works are blood, flesh, life, living, and life. Art. That's why his art is so touching.
"Style is people". Authentic, sincere, and simple, Hu Yichuan is not only true to art, but also true to his conduct as a person. His character and paintings are consistent.
