How will contemporary oil painting continue?

Hello everyone, I am the director of Chongqing Zhuomei Art Gallery, because our gallery makes quality original oil paintings. Therefore, how to define the development direction of our oil painting in the future and the style of our gallery painting is also a question that I have been thinking about. My idea is to make the appreciation of oil painting popular and personalized.

For example, we have football-style oil paintings, and we have movie poster-like style. There is an unbridled abstraction. What I want to say is that in the past, everyone thought that oil painting was a bit high-profile, and ordinary people would think that it was too academic to understand, too expensive to afford, and had the heart to treasure but did not have enough ability.

Personally, I pay more attention to the value of creation, I appreciate creative artists, no matter what style he is, it is his understanding of life, and it is the interpretation of his soul. So I insist that my gallery only does original oil paintings, and art is ** in life, but also higher than life. I want to let more people know more about my understanding of art and my love for oil painting.

I personally can't grasp the direction of the future style positioning of oil painting, so that oil painting lovers in all fields can have appreciation, but I want to see more artists create beautiful works in life. I also hope to add some Chinese elements to the oil painting, so that the world can see its beauty.

Why use your precious wisdom to find the way to your paintings? You were born with the task of defending oil paintings? The direction of development is not up to you.

Today's China, too impetuous, not pragmatic, art is to shape the soul, but now, to a few people are dedicated to learning, we can't buy art for money, as the so-called, I don't go to hell who goes to hell, no wind and demons do not become Buddhas, as long as we really like art, we firmly believe in our ideas, inherit the tradition, and develop our own things on the basis of tradition.

Every form of pictorial expression has somehow space that has not been explored and discovered. As an art form that expresses emotions and thoughts, reveals the sensory world and the visual expression of things, oil painting always visually shows the connection and touch between the senses and feelings, so as to achieve the expression of emotions. Specifically for Chinese oil painting, the rapid development of contemporary society has gradually formed a diversified pattern of harmony, especially the defense of artistic subjectivity, individuality, and independence, and has developed a frank and direct interaction with China's contemporary, which should be fully affirmed and developed.

In this context, the expression of deep oil painting is particularly important. In the process of integrating Chinese and Western cultures, Chinese oil painting has been pursuing its own unique way of expression. The author believes that in the small exhibition of various art works, there are always some loveable and amazing works or other touches in the colorful works, which impress us deeply and make us think for a long time, and these works can't help but make you want to see them again, making you fall into memories or thoughts again and again.

This is precisely a certain "reality" reflected by the author in his work, which touches or echoes a certain "reality" of the viewer.

1. Oil painting is a kind of painting made on canvas, linen, cardboard or wood board with quick-drying vegetable oil and pigments. Oil painting is one of the main types of Western painting. Chinese oil painting originated 400 years ago, when the Italian Bishop Lima Lead Li Dou and others came to China to preach and bring European oil painting works to China.

2. Oil painting first originated in Europe, and Chinese oil painting first originated 400 years ago in Jianqin, when the Italian Catholic priest Matteo Ricci and others came to China to preach and bring European oil painting works to China. Foreign art has developed into an integral part of Chinese painting, and has gone through a long process of learning, absorbing and growing. It can be divided into the following periods.

3. In the 29th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, Matteo Ricci presented gifts to Zhu Yijun of Mingshenzong included the statue of God and the statue of the Virgin. This kind of fine and realistic painting amazed Chinese oil painters, but they did not give high artistic evaluation, and no Chinese painters followed this painting method.

The process of creating an oil painting is as follows:

1. Frustration is a method of coloring the root tribe pen with an oil brush, press the pen after a little frustration and then lift, such as the reverse front line of calligraphy, vigorous and strong. The difference between the color of the nib and the root of the pen, and the direction of the pen, can produce a variety of variations and fun. The technique of dipping a wide oil brush or fan pen into the color and gently patting it on the screen is called patting.

The shoot can produce a certain undulating texture, which is not very obvious and not too simplistic, and can also deal with brushstrokes or colors that are too strong and weaken them.

2. Kneading refers to the method of directly manipulating two or several different colors on the picture with a pen, and the natural mixing changes are produced after the color manipulation, so as to obtain subtle and vivid colors and chiaroscuro, and can play a role in transition and cohesion.

3. The line refers to the line drawn with a pen, and the oil painting line is generally used with a soft sharp thread, but in different styles, the round head, the school shape and the old flat pen can also outline the thick lines like the strong center of the book. Both Eastern and Western paintings were formed with lines at the beginning, and in the early refueling paintings, they usually started with precise and rigorous line outlines, and in the Tempera technique, the line arrangement method was the main means of forming light and shade.

4. Western oil painting only evolved into a focus on light and shade and body heads, but despite this, the factor of the middle line of oil painting has never disappeared. Slim and bold. The use of neat or casual and repeated staggered and overlapping lines makes the language of oil painting richer, and the treatment of different shapes and edges is very important.

The use of lines in Oriental painting has also influenced the style of many modern Western masters, such as Matisse, Van Gogh, Picasso, Miró and Klee.

In recent years, the development of foreign oil painting creation has shown a trend of diversification and individualization. On the one hand, on the basis of traditional oil painting techniques, some artists have explored new forms and styles of expression through innovation and experimentation, such as surrealism and abstract expressionism. On the other hand, some artists pay more attention to the expression of individuality and uniqueness, and create works with strong personality characteristics through self-expression and emotional argumentation.

Generally speaking, the development of foreign oil painting creation shows a trend of diversification, individualization and technology, and artists continue to innovate and experiment on the basis of traditional techniques to create works with more personality and artistic value.
