Lai Ming is a man of culture and an all-rounded painter who masters various kinds of painting such as landscape, flowers and birds, portrait, brushwork, etc. He is skilled in the expression of feelings in his works, ink and colour splashing. In his paintings, flowers, birds, insects and fish which live in forest, river and stream are added with feelings, fun and vitality. The painter is particularly good at peacock painting. The special bird from the South becomes glamourous in Lai’s portrayal. The painter also likes painting pines and eagles, whose images are accurate and vivid. The perfect combination of ink and colour has promoted Lingnan painting of flowers and birds to a new level.
Lai’s landscape paintings are filled with deep and strong feelings, which create landscape of natural and personalized beauty. Lai’s ink landscape paintings are well-known for its expression of feelings and mood. These works release generous momentum through a delicate and lingering mood. The painter makes good use of water, ink and colour, inherits the special techniques of the Lingnan School and improves them for more outstanding artistic effects. It is extremely difficult to grasp the appropriate use of flowing water, splashing of ink and colour, but Lai easily masters the technique, and creates excellent and interesting paintings with it. Such paintings that emphasise the effects of water, ink and colour are no different from general freehand paintings of landscape, but are even richer in the characteristics of southern scenery, showing the highly perfect art skills of the painter.
