What are the characteristics of Xu Wei's painting style?

Xu Wei was born wild and uninhibited, but he made great achievements in painting, calligraphy, poetry and drama. His freehand ink-and-wash flower-and-bird paintings are bold and unrestrained, informal, concise, with more ink and less splash, less color, distinct layers, and the reality and reality are vivid. He also integrated vigorous brushwork into his paintings, which brought out the best in each other and gave people rich imagination. Xu Wei's ink-splashing freehand brushwork of flowers and birds is unique. His flower-and-bird paintings are not influenced by different schools, and they are bold and creative. His freehand brushwork, whether flowers or flowers and birds, is a stroke of a pen, and everything is between similarity and dissimilarity.

Xu Wei's Flower Poems

When planting flowers and trees, the painter used various pen and ink forms, such as hook, dot, splash and pat, to depict graceful peony, beautiful crape myrtle, sparse bamboo, aloof frost chrysanthemum and clean cold plum, and stretched the phoenix tree and plantain by nine feet and five feet respectively, straight out of the painting, without beginning or end, as flat as grape flowers and rain. His ink grapes, with strings of fruits hanging upside down, are fresh and tender and vivid. The lush leaves are made of large pieces of ink and wash, and the style is sparse and elegant, which represents the style of Xu Wei's freehand flowers. The movement track is rich, and the strokes are different in light and shade, brush strokes, size, dryness and wetness, and density. Mo Yun has improvisation and non-repetition, which shows the strongest abstract expressionism in China's paintings. This is not a general description of the object, but an artistic process, which makes it contain some internal temperament and spirit, and then makes the viewer feel immersive. The pumpkins and chrysanthemums in Xu Wei's paintings, in one go, drive away ink like clouds, with great momentum, and at the same time control the pen and ink properly, with great changes in light and shade, density and dryness. In the ink method, there are both randomly infiltrated ink halos and properly controlled shades. Although Xu Wei claimed to be a "play brush", he vividly conveyed the different nature and charm of flowers and fruits with freehand brushwork. Only a small part of its picture of the phoenix tree is painted in ink, which is reminiscent of the towering phoenix tree. As Weng Fanggang said: "The paper is only one foot, and the tree is only a hundred feet. Why are you wearing this green forest? " . I'm afraid I'll be so arrogant that I'll be booed by wine songs in the middle of the night With his delicate brushwork, Xu Wei created an open aesthetic world for the appreciator between similarity and dissimilarity.
