The works are full of atmosphere and lingering charm, the brush and ink are well applied. There are great changes in dry and wet and shade.

Li Yumin’s painting, advocate of romantic charm, value momentum, seek interest, to the deification of the nature level in "I Paint My Mountain with My Ink”. Taking pen and ink as the support, the emphasis on "meaning" is more important than the expression of "writing", not the conventional expression of the law. Build the foundation with the power, rely on the understanding of the bridge, with the creation to advance, the ink and wash to display the mountains of water environment to the extreme. Inheritance of northern and southern landscape context, mobilize all means of the ink, make the brush moist, the ink bright.

Li Yumin landscape art entered a new stage, new milestone, new heights, both in the contemporary Chinese painting circles, or in the forefront of China painting development, can be regarded as one of the few, and achieved gratifying success. Now Li Yumin is still in his prime of life, desire to achieve great success, he also has great potential. I believe, along this road "walk randomly", he will surely make greater achievements in the history of art.

To know Li Yumin is because his paintings attracted me. His landscape works are very personalized, that is new and romantic, I can feel that he has made great efforts in the academic research and development of Chinese landscape painting.

First of all, he developed the ink method of Chinese painting, which is the greatest feature of his works. The innovation is based on Huang Binhong seven ink method on the formation of his personal study "ink set method", put ink and line as a whole; and the creation of a hollow pen line based on Huang Binhong five strokes, use the hollow line drawing dotted line objects, with hollow line drawing mountain and trees, with a hollow ink line splash ink, enlarge the ink block, which is the ink and line.

This in today's China painting circles is his personal unique brushwork, formed new from ancient, personalized and amazing. Second characteristics, his landscape painting is loose and hairy, strong sense of movement, technical research is very high, can do this is very simple. Third characteristics, his composition can be wet and dry. wet very smart, can be moist like spring rain, dry very efficient, like dry autumn. The whole work is imposing, vivid, deep and thought-provoking.

Then touch himself again, he gave me a very impressive impression, not only the big-hearted but also honest and kind, which is a good and well trained painter and good brother, which also confirms the truth of good people good painting. As a result of this study, he must be a good painter, a Chinese painter with potential in the history of the development of Chinese painting.
