As the critic Fan Di’an said: “During his creative career spanning half a century to the present, especially in the second half of the 20th century, an era of rapid social change and change in China, Jin Shangyi has continuously deepened his With his feelings and thinking about the "theme of man", he also constantly answered the cultural issues raised by the times. Many artistic images created by him are not only the imprint of his personal mental journey, but also reflect the feelings of all those who have experienced history ."
Wang YidongThrough the study of Western classical oil paintings, the distinctive Chinese Features are integrated into the picture, and he has also found his own unique expression method and painting language in the creation, fully expressing the concise summary, bright color, simple and generous style of Chinese folk painting in his works, Formed an oil painting style with oriental charm, which is not lonely and unique among realistic oil painting artists at home and abroad, and has made great contributions to the development of Chinese native oil painting.
Part 2 Chinese Contemporary Art
Wu Guanzhong is a link between the past and the future in the history of modern and contemporary Chinese art. Integrate the modern composition of western art language with the expression form of oriental ink painting, opening a majestic and magnificent movement in points, lines, planes, black, white and gray.
In his self-reported technique monograph "Analysis of Wu Guanzhong's Painting Form·Rush", he explained as follows: "There is a rushing spirit, only movement, movement rejects the material world, rejects the materiality of the world, and the rushing water Abstraction is movement, and flow is for flow. I think, The beauty of flow is the spirit of the beauty I feel from it. I splash ink with a thick brush, and use a large brush that absorbs enough thick ink Pen dripping ink, big beads and small beads falling on a jade plate, first find out the layout of the eight formations, and then thread through the gaps in the stone, and let it flow. The torrent has polished the stone, and the stone is happy in the "circle" clan society."< /p>
In the history of Chinese contemporary art, Shang Yang is a very special and very important figure. Shang Yang’s painting creations in recent decades have been centered around the relationship between man and nature. “Books from Heaven”—books, as a symbol of human civilization, record and accumulate the history and culture of human activities. The mountain is the book of nature, and the book of heaven is the mountain of humanities. Shang Yang said that "Book from Heaven" comes from his 2006 ink painting, which depicts an open book with the words "The distant mountains are shaped like a book from heaven", the whole picture seems to be a dilapidated Rubbings and scriptures are floating in the chaos. At this time, the ink and wash material itself presents an indescribable desolation and heaviness.
He inherits a cultural tradition in painting with his unique language thinking, but alienates the traditional cultural context and brings it into the present. This "Book from Heaven" is a typical reflection of Shang Yang's creative thinking: contemporary, Chinese and my own. Because of this, Shang Yang belongs to the world.
Fang Lijun is the first Chinese contemporary artist to enter a Western art museum. He is a leading artist of Chinese contemporary art. His works Focusing on the relationship between his historical memory and real situation, he focuses on the relationship between individual life and real society. Strictly speaking, it was a rascal at the beginning, and it was more about the individual's living status, but today it considers the status of people, the status of life and the status of reality. The scope is wider and there is a symbolic thing.
Fang Lijun's art is heavy and thick, which comes from his life experience and life experience, from his accurate and accurate understanding of life experience profound expression.
Liu Xiaodong sticks to his own concept of painting, focuses on daily life and familiarity Characters, focusing on the survival experience of ordinary people.
The theme of this painting is the representative of ordinary people in Chinese society. The sense of idleness emanating from the characters is also very characteristic; A moment of the pinnacle of passion, instead he preserves the everyday state of these men. These states, it seems to us, can only be expressed in terms of mediocrity. Mediocrity should not be treated as a special case of history and personality here at all. These mediocrities are the norm and core of history.
Part 3 New paintings of post-70s and post-80s
Over ten years since 2005 , Ma Ke created a series of large-scale paintings of "Top Hardness", of which "Heroism" is a representative one. This series of works juxtapose more images in one picture In the attempt, the painting still rejects the logic of meaning, but it seems to be more story-like and related to real life.
He borrowed four-character idioms to name his works, hoping to form some kind of philosophical expression, which makes it easier for people to think of a certain story or truth. In these works that strengthen the narrative intention, the characters are generally enlarged, looking up at the sky or looking down at the viewer, with a hint of oppression. As he grows older, a sense of history based on personal experience also appears in his paintings.
