Features: Mr. Lu Yifei is skilled in Chinese flower-and-bird painting. He excels in meticulous brushwork, boneless painting, combined meticulous and freehand techniques, as well as expressive ink splashing. His depictions of flowers, vegetables, fruits, grasshoppers, feathers, and beasts are vivid and lifelike. Some have compared him to say, "Mr. Lu is the most outstanding all-around athlete among contemporary Chinese flower-and-bird painters," describing his comprehensive and profound mastery of brushwork and modeling skills. Mr. Lu advocates starting painting practice with combined meticulous and freehand techniques. The meticulous style can trace back to the Song Dynasty, while the freehand style can follow the ink paintings of the Yuan Dynasty and even the bold brushwork of the Ming Dynasty. Only after several cycles of refinement and release can one achieve a state of perfection.
