Currently, he is the director of the Beijing Dayu Art Studio.
Teacher Liao Changyu has served nearly 20 years as a People's Congress representative, offering suggestions and making contributions to society. From childhood, he was deeply passionate about painting and calligraphy, learning from various distinguished teachers and developing a unique style while also mastering other techniques.
He specializes in large seal script, regular script, running script, cursive script, and flower-and-bird painting. In particular, he has conducted in-depth study and practice of large seal script, Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi’s running and cursive scripts, Yan Zhenqing’s regular script, Zhang Xu’s and Huai Su’s great cursive scripts, achieving profound understanding. He systematically studied the theories of major Chinese calligraphers, absorbing their essence and integrating them fully, thus deeply grasping the essence of calligraphy. To significantly enhance his artistry, he extensively read books on philosophy, history, economics, literature, natural geography, Tang poetry, Song lyrics, Yuan drama, Ming and Qing novels, the Thirteen Classics, essays, travelogues, and biographies, and gained a solid comparative understanding of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism.
While reading extensively, he also traveled across mountains and rivers, comprehending the essence of nature and incorporating it into his paintings and calligraphy works, resulting in calligraphy that “each piece has rhythm, each character has soul.” His paintings are simple yet vivid, with concise brushwork conveying deep meaning, evoking the feeling that “when one stands before the painting, one feels as if wandering within it.”
I feel that Teacher Liao’s paintings and calligraphy have truly reached a state of divine mastery.
