"Although charcoal painting is a basic sketch, once you enter the world of charcoal painting, the "black and white" will immediately become a "color" artistic conception! "
"Because the changing light and shadow, the world is a beautiful secret place, and those who have never visited it cannot describe its mystery!"
Many famous teachers and seniors claim that Teacher Yao Zhi is the "poet of light and shadow" because he has created "the classical beauty of gray scale" in the world of black and white. Charcoal painting may be easy to get started, but it is not easy to master it. It strictly trains us to establish multiple levels of gray scale to express the three-dimensional sense and distance of the "object". But when the work must rise to the level of "theme/creation", grayscale becomes as professional as "ink", and it suddenly transforms into the "organism" of contemporary art, with both expression and emotional warmth!
Teacher Yao Zhi prefers "old photos" as the core subject matter of his creation, which is the characteristic of his current creation.Including: historical documentary research and description of local culture/people, industries, life, etc. in the early Qing Dynasty/early Republic of China; but he also loves "children" themes, because innocent childlike interest is everyone's love and memory!
