Personal data of calligrapher Bai Huibin

Born in Wafangdian, Li Huibin loved painting in middle school, and he was often praised and criticized-because sometimes he couldn't help but steal some strokes in class. 1964 was admitted to Suzhou Textile Institute (later Suzhou Silk Institute) to study arts and crafts. After graduation, I worked as a designer in Liaoning Songsi Factory. He designed beautiful and complicated jacquard satin and colorful printed silk. His works often participate in trade fairs and have won many provincial and municipal design awards. Member of National Popular Color Society, director of Provincial Society. He told the author that the design of the cloth was interesting. Decorative cloth, big flowers and big flowers are more realistic, smart and lively, generous and romantic, while the materials are more abstract and the pattern colors are closer to the West. The design of cloth should have a global view, mainly considering the coordination of color blocks, rather than just painting beautifully one by one. Later, he was transferred to Wafang as a senior engineer, responsible for the design and textile sales of new product jacquard cloth.

After retirement, he applied for the design of exporting gray lights, and he still kept the lights in his living room. That is a dark imitation European desk lamp. When the light came on, the deer on the glass cover came alive.

Three years later, Li Huibin had nothing to do, but the restless old man agreed to a non-profit business: teaching art to old comrades in the community twice a week. It turns out that when he was in college, his teacher was Wu Yuanfa, a disciple of Fu Baoshi, and he was very obsessed with Chinese painting. But over the years, he has invested a lot of effort in arts and crafts design, picked up the magical China brush and devoted himself to the creation of Chinese paintings, which has become a beautiful dream for him.

He told the students that painting should start with meticulous brushwork and then lay a good foundation. Fine brushwork exercises people's meticulousness, accuracy and delicacy. Some people learn to draw quickly, and it seems easy to watch others doodle. I don't know, if you don't have a solid sketch foundation and master lines, shapes, colors and composition, it can only be graffiti. He teaches carefully and methodically, and his students make rapid progress, some of whom have already drawn well.

Li Huibin's exhibition paintings give students a beautiful enjoyment. In order to paint peony well, he went to Heze, Shandong Province, the hometown of peony, to sketch. His peony flowers and birds are accurate in modeling, beautiful in composition, full of gas field and rich in colors. In China, nave's painting "A Garden in Spring" has gorgeous green peacock tails and feathers, while "Spring Flowers Let Birds Screen Open" has elegant pictures and warm colors. The white peacock is quite decorative and unique, which makes the viewer relaxed and happy, as if he had entered a quiet and beautiful nature. This innovative brushwork should be inseparable from Li Huibin's years of arts and crafts skills. Li Huibin's Four Seasons Flower-and-Bird Silk, whose chrysanthemum is not the bleak yellow flower of traditional painting, is a gorgeous red makeup outlined by him, which has the style of "I say autumn is not as good as spring".

Li Huibin's landscape paintings follow the route of northern painting school, and most of them are magnificent mountains, valleys and waterfalls. Among them, the painting method and composition of rocks are innovative, while others combine the freshness and remoteness of Lingnan painting school. In a piece of meticulous painting, Pingshan is far away from the trees, and the clouds are lingering, but there are rich colors and strange peaks and rocks. In order to write the magnificent mountains and rivers of the motherland, the old man also went to Guilin and Jiangsu and Zhejiang to sketch. The most interesting thing is that there are four transparent glass doors in the old man's hall cabinet, but the old man has made four landscape paintings according to the size, so that people can enjoy the mountains and rivers as soon as they enter the door.
