胡永凯的画使我很感动,他继承的不只是一种常常被人误解的所谓“形式”,而是一种令人温暖的,内在的,发人深省的东西。一个较为鲜明的中国风格画家的作品是很容易感觉到的,它既跟人民、土地、风俗有关,也包括了民族的品味和脾气。永凯的画是南方人,江南人温暖而深情的作品,温和的人情、水乡,幽静的小阁楼,明洁的木窗格子……孕育这些作品的产生。胡永凯是一位学术性的画家。我没有见过、也没有听过他自己对自己有过渲染,总是说去年画了什么,今年画了什么,明年的计划如何如何,谈的都是工作,我很敬重这种态度。永凯的色彩精密深邃,是他的大特色,是他驰骋的广原,也见出他博闻的本领。明显地他有一副好胃口,凡是有益、有用、好看的,他全吞下。 I was impressed by Hu’s paintings, which he inherits not only as a so-called “form”, often misunderstood, but as a warm, intrinsic and thought-provoking thing. The work of a rather distinctive Chinese painter can easily feel that it is related to people, land and customs as well as the taste and temper of the nation. Yongkai’s painting is a southerner, Jiangnan warm and affectionate works, mild human, water, quiet little loft, Ming-kai’s wooden lattice ... ... conceived these works. Hu Yongkai is an academic painter. I have never seen or heard of his own rendering of himself, always saying what was painted last year, what was painted this year, what the plans for next year will be, and the work to be done. I respect this attitude very much. Yongkai color sophisticated deep, is his big character, is his gallop Guangyuan, also saw his proficiency skills. Obviously he had a good appetite, all useful, useful, good-looking, he swallowed.
