Artist Yu Hanyu
Art style
A reinvention of brilliant jade and gold -Traditional Chinese
Painting
with a focuses on Tibetan glaciers
One of the
defining features of Yu Hanyu‘s
landscape paintings is the atmosphere they create. Mr.Yu's
artistic creation draw their inspiration and theme from the
snow-capped mountains and glaciers of Tibet. Much like how the
prophet Muhammad went into the mountains to find retrospection
and insight, the artist Yu went into the sacred mountains of
Tibet where he found inspiration and breakthrough - it is in
this pristine and harsh environment that Yu came into a new and
elegant artistic style of landscape painting of his own.
Mr.Yu elevates traditional Chinese paintings to an all together
other level by producing the effects of oil painting through
using traditional painting mediums of rice paper and heavy ink.
For his reinventions and breakthroughs, Yu has received many
accolades:
In 1994,
his work
“landscape”
was awarded the silver medal at t
he third International Ink Painting Festival.
In 1996,
his work "Wushan Yun" was chosen as part of the selected works of teachers
and students and featured in the Fine Arts in Taiwan Zhongshan
Memorial Hall exhibition.
In 1997
his works were shown at the Chinese Painting Research Institute Exhibition
Center.
In 2000
an art book titled "Chinese painting and calligraphy masterpiece
- Yu Han Yu”
was published.
Yu Hanyu’s
Landscape Paintings
Tibet is
Yu’s
muse - he is enchanted by the beautiful scenery and bewitched
into repeatedly visiting the snowy plateaus that few people even
dare to tread, all to seek out inspiration in the magnificent
scenery of Tibet. There, Yu spent months to create his works,
two of which titled "snow-capped mountains" and "glaciers”
.
“I’ve always wanted to bring Traditional Chinese Painting to
the world! It is one of the reasons I focus so very much on
color. I chose Tibet's snow-capped mountains glaciers to be the
theme not only because Tibet has not been painted in this way
before but also because Tibet has transfixed me like it has the
rest of the world. Therefore, I feel the artistic style and
thematic content fall together perfectly - the artistic style is
unique and modern, the theme is beautiful and global
- together it is perfectly poised to make a global impact.”
