As a painter, what I am most worried about is my own aesthetic fatigue, because aesthetic fatigue leads to listlessness in looking at anything, even if it is the masterpiece of ancient painting masters.
Placed in front of their own eyes are not interested, can not find the characteristics of it, and even self-righteously think that their masterpieces are very ordinary, far inferior to themselves,
However, when I copied and imitated it myself, I couldn't achieve such an effect; I created it independently, but I couldn't find interesting inspiration.
Without inspiration, there will be no unique and novel creative themes, so in the end it is still mediocre, and it is also a mediocre generation with "high eyes and low hands".
Of course, as a painter, you are also worried about the aesthetic fatigue of the viewer, because the viewer appears aesthetic fatigue,
I'm bound to be very picky about any work, and I think it's not okay, it's not going to work.
However, some painters believe that the aesthetic ability of the viewer is low, and even lacks aesthetic ability.
I don't know how to appreciate my own work. In fact, it is not excluded that some people lack aesthetic ability and aesthetic ability,
However, most people still have aesthetic ability, this is because the current access to art is very convenient,
There are art museums everywhere in the world, and there are works of art in museums with different styles.
And the quality is very high, which provides people with a good artistic popularization or edification, thereby improving aesthetic ability.
Chen Yanning oil painting
In summary, any painting is rated as a "failed work", or a work that causes people's aesthetic fatigue,
The main reason is still from the painter himself. Aesthetic fatigue is the most common phenomenon for contemporary painters, which also leads to "good-looking products are the same" and "interesting souls are one out of a thousand".
Now to say a very peculiar phenomenon, contemporary painters Chen Yifei and Chen Yanning, their works are very similar,
It should be noted that Chen Yifei and Chen Yanning are similar in age, only one year apart, and the number of years of study is also similar.
It is reasonable to say that there is no one who imitates whom, but the fact is that the oil painting style of the two people is very similar, almost exactly the same.
Chen Yifei oil painting
Therefore, many people first look at Chen Yifei's works, and then look at Chen Yanning's works, they feel that it is not interesting;
Or after watching Chen Yanning's works first, and then looking at Chen Yifei's works, I also feel that it is not interesting, and I am aesthetically tired in an instant, so why is this so?
The reason is that the women's oil paintings written by the two are realistic painting styles, and the modeling design of the characters is classical decoration.
Most of the depictions are women wearing cheongsams playing classical instruments, and they all use very distinct elements of "combination of East and West" to portray the whole picture.
Soft and elegant tones, the background of the picture uses the freehand elements of Chinese painting, giving people a kind of emotional rhythm of "not rushing and not slowing down",
The main part shows a three-dimensional sense of space that is not particularly strong and distinct, of course, the light and shadow effects that oil paintings should have still exist.
However, if we look at the women's oil paintings of Chen Yanning and Chen Yifei from another angle, there will still be surprises.
For example, this is called the same thing, not imitation or plagiarism.
Contemporary painter Chen Yanning's women's oil paintings include women in well-proportioned figures, plump and dignified postures, elegant and noble qipao women, and they are usually three groups and five groups.
Very few are alone, at least two women in the same frame. It is worth noting that the atmosphere of the picture of a single woman is slightly heavy,
The woman in the painting looks dazed or melancholy or contemplative, rarely with a joyful expression; if two women appear in the picture,
Their posture and expression have formed a sharp contrast, but their posture is still very coordinated and symmetrical, and they will not be fat and thin.
If three women or five women are in the same frame, in addition to the different postures,
The atmosphere of the whole picture is also very relaxed and harmonious, they seem to be communicating with their hearts, they seem to be playing and playing, and they seem to be thinking about their own careful thoughts alone.
But do not forget the existence of each other, the atmosphere of the whole environment scene is harmonious and interesting, simply put, the painter places different characters in the same picture,
Creating an atmosphere of common harmony, the viewer sees the advantages of each woman when admiring,
I also felt the breath of the spatial environment in which the woman was located, it was the charming breath, and I was eager to be "in the flowers" immediately.
So why is the whole atmosphere different for different numbers of women's oil paintings?
Or why did the painter deal with the retouching in this way? The specific reason for this is a long story.
Personally, I think that what the painter wants to express is that "the spatial environment reflects different atmospheres because of the existence of people; there will be subtle changes in emotional emotions between people." ”
Such a meaning, but the ultimate purpose is to achieve emotional resonance with the viewer,
In fact, the painter is from the perspective of the viewer to lay out and design the entire picture, which is very understandable,
For example, what kind of psychological state we are in when we are alone, and what kind of state is it when two people are together.
What kind of feelings and what kind of atmosphere are there when three people or a group of people are together, these are all different.
Therefore, the viewer is admiring the oil painting with only one woman and the oil painting with two women,
And when there are three women or even five women's oil paintings, the feeling is different, and the understanding of female charm will change slightly.
As the saying goes, "When the vision is broadened, the cognition is different." "Art has the same magic,
Contemporary painter Chen Yanning's oil painting women also have a common feminine charm, that is, classical elegance, noble and dignified and feminine and not tacky, in addition to the good-looking skin bag, there is also an interesting soul.
