He currently serves as the director of the Dayu Art Studio in Beijing.
Teacher Liao Changyu has served nearly 20 years as a People's Congress representative, offering suggestions and proposals to society with significant achievements. From childhood, he was deeply passionate about painting and calligraphy, receiving guidance from many distinguished teachers, developing his own unique style while embracing diverse influences.
He specializes in large seal script, regular script, running script, cursive script, and flower-and-bird painting. Particularly, he has conducted in-depth research and copying 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 script, gaining profound insights. He systematically studied theories of great Chinese calligraphers, absorbing their essence and integrating them comprehensively, mastering the essence of calligraphy. To significantly enhance his art, he extensively read books covering philosophy, history, economics, literature, natural geography, Tang poetry, Song ci, Yuan qu, Ming and Qing novels, the Thirteen Classics, essays, travelogues, and biographies, achieving a good understanding and comparison of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism.
While reading extensively, he also traveled across thousands of mountains and rivers, grasping the essence of nature and integrating it into his paintings and calligraphy works. His calligraphy "each piece has rhythm, each character has soul." His paintings are simple yet vivid, with concise brushwork and profound meaning, evoking the feeling: "one stands before the painting, yet the mind roams within it."
I feel that Teacher Liao’s paintings and calligraphy have truly reached a realm of divine mastery.
