Art Criticism
Before the ancestors started writing, they used symbolic images to record things. Therefore, pictographs are pictographs, pictographs are words, and words are written. It can be seen that pictographs and texts are a primitive tool for recording, communicating and communicating human feelings. Painting is a process of derivation and optimization, as well as the origin of art. For thousands of years, the achievements of our people’s efforts and explorations on the artistic journey, such as the bright stars in the sky, can be described as the generation of geniuses, and set an example for thousands of years. Nevertheless, the sea of art is endless and each has its own merits. Forms change from infinite to infinite, and painting does not necessarily depend on one. The most touching part of art is the devotion of the author’s true feelings, which can shake the hearts of the audience. Therefore, no matter what method of painting, realism or freehand brushwork, concrete or abstract, it is nothing more than expressing feelings with pen and conveying voices with color. It is impossible not to hinder the presentation of the true meaning of art.
Yu Suzheng, a painter from the other side of the Taiwan Strait, is a good lover with pen and color. Last year’s exhibition at Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Art in Japan, I first saw his works depicting the ancient town of Shuixiang series. A lively passion poured out from the pictures, bright and strong colors, jumping and flying strokes, inadvertently capturing the vitality of a sunshine transmission. She did not deliberately manage the style of houses and alleys, and did not intentionally restore the objective features of the scenery. Instead, she paints her own true feelings with strong colors and casual strokes, which is her unique feeling and solitary voice of the foreground objects, and is the key of her works to stir the heartstrings of the audience. Obviously, Yu Suzheng’s paintings have gained inspiration and resources from the post-Impressionist style of painting, which can be confirmed by the strong color blocks, dancing lines and the processing effect of the plane in her works. But it is different from Van Gogh’s distorted shape, Cezanne’s block structure, and Gauguin’s decorative arrangement. It can be seen that she borrowed the resources of Western painting and was reduced to her own vocabulary.

In addition, Yu Suzheng’s series of ancient towns and water townships is characterized by strong folk customs and festive festivals. Jumping strokes and colorful colors, such as singing and dancing, swirl in a sunny space, reflecting the author’s pursuit of happy life and love for life. Another feature of Yu Suzheng’s painting language is her thick painting method. This kind of thick painting method seems not to rely entirely on brush painting, but with the help of a knife to create an interesting relief feeling in plane painting. This kind of painting feature is most vivid and vivid, especially in her flower series. Compared with the theme of ancient town scenery, her flower works are more pure and simple. The flat background of the large color blocks highlights the flying of petals and leaves. What is more peculiar is that the lining of the mesa is also made up of petal strokes, which makes the whole painting present a kind of flowing vitality, which is the distinct personal characteristics of Yu Suzheng’s paintings.
In addition to oil paintings, Yu Suzheng often writes in ink and calligraphy, which is also a kind of practice to express the nature of mind. It is known that she also lingers in music and Piano art, so her paintings also contain the rhythm and melody of music. The artist’s skills and concepts come from many aspects of cultivation. The artistic fruits of his efforts over the years are closely related to the artist’s mentality, personality and concern for the surrounding life. Apart from being active in exhibitions at home and abroad, Yu Suzheng has been traveling frequently across the Taiwan Strait in recent years to build a platform for cultural and artistic exchanges. Her achievements and contributions are all indispensable links in her knight-errant artistic life.

Heart flying colour and self-leaping merit
A Record of Yu Suzheng, a Famous Painter
Nowadays, when people appreciate oil paintings, they usually get two kinds of feelings: One is disdain, the other is ignorance.
The disdain stems from the fact that oil painting is developing towards surrealism. It is so realistic that there are only techniques left and no need to look at them. Understanding oil painting and sliding towards the direction of surimpressionism out of reality, painted like nothing, chaotic, no one can understand.
Oil painting is originally beautiful, but surreal and super impression are gradually destroying the traditional aesthetic value of oil painting. If there is no oil painting explorer like Yu Suzheng, to explore new techniques of oil painting with grounding spirit and emphasizing aesthetic pursuit, oil painting will really be “far away”. Yu Suzheng’s oil paintings do not go beyond the extreme of shape and oil color to realize the artistic beauty between art and reality, which makes people see clearly and comfortably. Yu Suzheng’s oil paintings have returned to the world of fireworks and gained the public’s favor again.
See Yu Suzheng’s “Flowers” series of oil paintings. As far as modeling is concerned, she absolutely avoids the Surrealist vulgar structure and introduces the plastic techniques of “likeness and dissimilarity” in Chinese painting, so that the flowers have the carelessness of flowers without losing their temperament. Let the leaf have a slightly leafy form, without missing the vitality of the leaf. Flower arranging utensils are not the real form of life, but the true alteration of art.
It is undeniable that Yu Suzheng introduced Chinese painting techniques to transform the drawbacks of oil painting modeling too realistic, and realized the survival graft of Chinese painting between “miracle and similarity”. Yu Suzheng’s artistic exploration has achieved a very high quality practical effect, making her a skilled artist in China and the West, so that her works are elegant and popular, beautiful and moving, and become a new fashion in the era of oil painting pioneering.
Appreciation of Yu Suzheng’s Oil Paintings
As far as the shape is concerned, Yu Suzheng’s oil paintings have a remarkable success. She boldly transplanted the sculpture technique into the series of works of Flowers, and used the sculpture sense to make the pictures show the ornamental effect standing out on the paper. Flowers, whether red or white, are like knife carvings, prominent on the paper, reach out and pick up, making people have the impulse to bow down and smell their fragrance.
Yu Suzheng’s oil paintings reflect the sculpture sense, just like the popular stereo paintings, which stand out on the plane, so that people can see the mood in which it is difficult to distinguish between inside and outside the painting.
However, her sculptural oil paintings, and everywhere is sculptural texture, flowers are protruding sculptural form, leaves are flat. Leaves are flat and flower arrangers are sculptured. Appreciate Yu Suzheng’s oil paintings, sometimes like a mountain trip, sometimes like Linchuan, the sense of space conversion is always like a dream. This is the mystery and reality of Yu Suzheng’s oil painting space. The artist seems to be a bridge between dream and reality. She constantly leads the viewer to change their thinking between dream and reality, so that people can enjoy her paintings, not only beautiful, but also fantastic.
In Yu Suzheng’s artistic practice, the oil brush is not only a flat brush, but also a carving knife that can depict all things in the world. The success of carving is due not only to her excellent technique of using brush, but also to her profound means of coloring. Another series of her oil paintings, Town, is an outstanding expression of the profound skill of oil painting.
In the works of “small town”, Yu Suzheng constantly emphasizes the flowability of oil paints. She tries to reconstruct her feelings about the world by changing the old method of creating atmosphere with “color blocks” in oil paintings.
She paints a wall with color. The color is flowing, so the wall is divine. She dyed a road with color, and the color was rolling, so the path became clear, and the green bricks were like waves. People traveled in paintings, such as driving clouds and sails, were very beautiful. Flowing colors give Yu Suzheng’s paintings a sense of life, which is the dark motive force for them to live again in people’s hearts. It is Yu Suzheng’s artistic pursuit and accomplishment to let oil painting reproduce the glory of history and the moving of life.
The heart leaps and the deepest realm of achievement becomes itself. Because of the deep cultivation of traditional culture and the careful exploration of Western oil painting, Yu Suzheng embarked on the exploration of Western painting with Chinese artistic conception. Obviously, her explorations are meaningful and successful, because her explorations are recognized and her artistic achievements are respected.
