和海峰缘起河南大学一起教书，俺们宿舍就在对面，看到屋子里堆满的油画框就知道这是位画画的哥们。于是，一起聊天喝茶抽烟成了生活中必备的一件事。至今仍然最怀念坐在他画室里聊天的场景，自由洒脱，只有对艺术的感悟和追求。

　　I got to know Hai Feng since we both teach in Henan University. He lived in the opposite dormitory. Seeing the room filled with painting shelves, I concluded that he must be a man of painting. Then, chatting with tea and smoking has become an essential part of our life. Even today I still cherish the scenes when we chatted in his painting studio, feeling free and easy, only with the perception of art and pursuit.

　　海峰画《风陵渡》期间经常一起坐下讨论，从细节、风格到手法、装裱方式。在这段时间里，那间小小的画室里挂满了宋代绘画，对线条、色彩和形式的极致追求令人折服，在海峰的创作和追求里，正如曹新林老师所讲：“把写实放在一个虚幻的空间里面，实与虚的一种对比，又跟文化对接，对写实和古典，对于东方和西方，他都有足够的思考”。海峰说：风陵渡这张画你是全部过程的见证者。的确，和认真的画家在一起是一件快乐的事情，没有杂念和功利心的思考、工作亦是绘画的本质之一。

　　In the days when he painted “Fenglingdu Ferry”, we often sit and discussed together, from the details and style to the approach and mounting methods. During this time, the little studio was filled with paintings of Song Dynasty with impressive lines, colors and forms. In the creation and pursuit of Hai Feng, as Mr Cao Xinlin once said “ Putting realism in an illusive space, forming a contrast of realism and imaginary and connecting with culture. He has enough thought in realism and classicism, in East and West.” Hai Feng once told me: “ You are the witness of the whole process of the painting “Fenglingdu Ferry”. Indeed, it’s pleasant to stay with serious painter, without distractions and utilitarian thinking, working is one of the essences of painting.

        从默默无闻的拼搏到现在的成果离不开执著的追求，细腻、敏感和坚持，对东方绘画精髓的解读让他只能做个画画的人。海峰经常说自己不过是个手艺人，的确如此，在最初的几年里，工资基本都转变成了画册和颜料。每个人都有条属于自己的路，这位好兄弟找到了，坚持了。现在，那间不到20平方的小屋变成了宽敞明亮的大工作室，越来越多的展览等着他，越来越多的人从他的画里得到感动、享受快乐，对于一个艺术家而言，真是一件幸福的事情!

　　From unknown to the public fame, his achievements are inseparable from his spirits of persistent pursuit, exquisition, sensitivity and adherence. The interpretation of the essence of Oriental painting makes him a painting people. Hai Feng often said that he was just a craftsman, but indeed, it is true, in the first few years, his wages are all transformed into pictures and pigment. Everyone has his own way and Hai Feng found it and persisted it. Now, the little studio with less than 20 square meters is changed to a spacious and bright one. More and more exhibitions are waiting for him and more and more people are moved by his paintings and enjoy happiness from them. For an artist, it is really a happy thing!
