Artist: 劉其偉 LIU Chi-Wei (1912-2002)
集「科學與藝術」、「現代與原始」、「感性與理智」於一生的藝壇老頑童—劉其偉,九十齡時曾說:還想活另一個九十年!如此地熱愛生命,三十八歲握住畫筆後,他燃燒散發出的光熱,影響並刺激無數台灣藝文界,普羅大眾深深喜愛劉其偉「保育代言人、原始探險家、人類文化研究者」的多重角色,劉老創造出前所未有、使人感動、微笑的自然視界。
劉其偉的藝術貢獻在於1954年起,引進西方繪畫技巧、理論等譯作入台灣,1959年與張杰、吳廷標、香洪、胡茄等人組成引領水彩藝術發展的「中國水彩畫會」,1963年榮獲中國畫學會第一屆「最優水彩畫家」金爵獎。兩年後,卻因越戰爆發,人人暱稱「其老」(豈老)的他,開始出發探險生涯首站,中南半島占婆、吉蔑、暹邏等古文明,注入劉其偉原始藝術創作、研究中,從此即無法斬斷對全世界原始文化、人類學領域的親臨追求。
二十世紀初之表現主義大師:高更、馬諦斯、畢卡索、克利、康丁斯基、亨利摩爾所發展的原始主義 ( primitivism) 撼動人心,劉其偉堪稱是此一潮流的最佳實踐者!六十一歲著作「菲(律賓)島原始文化與藝術」,獲得該國國家藝術委員會頒贈「東亞藝術文化著作榮譽獎」;七十歲深入婆羅洲熱帶雨林、八十二歲組探險隊再入巴布亞紐幾內亞,復及非洲和中南美洲;畢生著作等身。
劉其偉擅長以半抽象形式,透過想像將現實世界簡化、變形,幻化成原始純真的神秘世界,作品多人物、動植物、與文化保存、生態保護之意念呈現。其繪畫風格,經研究為:具有裝飾、融合、和諧、幽默等特性;劉其偉一生之「野性哲學」蘊含著:掙脫顛沛、困苦生活經驗後的重生,堅持童真無念的開懷,是以他從不介意無傳統學院繪畫背景,換以優秀的日、英語言、理工專業養成,全新奠基、不朽於東方藝壇。

Liu Qiwei, an old urchin in the art world who has collected "science and art", "modern and primitive", "sensibility and reason" in his life, said when he was 90 years old: I want to live another 90 years! He loves life so much. After holding a paintbrush at the age of thirty-eight, he burned the light and heat, which influenced and stimulated countless Taiwanese arts and literature circles. The general public deeply loved Liu Qiwei's "conservation spokesperson, primitive explorer, and researcher of human culture." With multiple roles, Mr. Liu created an unprecedented, moving and smiling natural vision.
Liu Qiwei’s artistic contribution was the introduction of Western painting techniques and theories into Taiwan in 1954. In 1959, he formed the "Chinese Watercolor Society" leading the development of watercolor art with Zhang Jie, Wu Tingbiao, Xiang Hong, Hu Qi and others. He was awarded in 1963. The first "Best Watercolor Painter" Golden Goblet Award of the Chinese Painting Society.

Ancient civilizations such as Champa, Ji Mi, Siam, etc. in the Indochina Peninsula were injected with Liu Qiwei’s original artistic creations, In the research, it has been impossible to cut off the personal pursuit of the world's primitive culture and the field of anthropology.
The expressionist masters of the early twentieth century: Gauguin, Matisse, Picasso, Klee, Kandinsky, Henry Moore developed primitivism (primitivism) that moved people's minds, and Liu Qiwei is the best of this trend Practitioners! The 61-year-old book "Primitive Culture and Art of Philippine (Ribin) Island" won the "East Asian Art and Culture Book Honor Award" from the National Arts Council of the country; 70-year-old went deep into the tropical rainforest of Borneo, and the 82-year-old group explored The team re-entered Papua New Guinea, re-entering Africa and Central and South America; life-long writings.
Liu Qiwei is good at using semi-abstract forms to simplify and deform the real world through imagination, transforming it into a primitive and innocent mysterious world. His works are multi-character, flora and fauna, cultural preservation, and ecological protection. His painting style has been studied as having the characteristics of decoration, integration, harmony, and humor; Liu Qiwei’s “wild philosophy” in his life contains: rebirth after breaking free from the vicissitudes and hard life experience, and insisting on the innocence and joy, so he never Mind if you don’t have a traditional college painting background, change to excellent Japanese and English language, science and engineering majors, a new foundation, immortal in the oriental art scene.
