The vast loess hills, mountain pastures, the bright Mulei River, and the beautiful sun on the sea are intertwined into colorful songs under the painter's pen. "Australian painter Yang Mingshan 100 Oil Painting Landscape Sketch Exhibition • Beijing Station" recently appeared at the Yunshang Art Museum of the Oil Painting Institute of the China Academy of Art, taking people to appreciate the beautiful scenery.
Oil painter Yang Mingshan (1933-2016) was born in Moscow, came to Xinjiang with his parents at the age of 6, graduated from the Art Department of Northwest Normal College in 1957, moved to Australia in the late 1970s, and became an academician of the Royal Australian Academy of Arts. Yang Mingshan is good at recording the moving moments of nature with a concise artistic language, diverse colors, skillful oil painting techniques and a frame of the size of a hand. The grass and trees in his pen, although the light and simple colors, are full of emotion.
This exhibition is Yang Mingshan's national tour of Beijing Station, and the oil paintings and landscape sketches on display represent the highest level of his different periods. Among them, there are 110 small oil painting landscapes and 1 self-portrait. For this exhibition, quan shanshi, a famous Chinese oil painter in his nineties, went to Australia and carefully selected more than 2,000 works to exhibit.
In Quan Shanshi's view, "Yang Mingshan has a very good understanding of the language of oil painting, is very religious to art, loves life very much, and he puts his heart in his art." Yang Feiyun, president of the China Oil Painting Institute of the China Academy of Art, said, "It is a great honor to see mr. Yang Mingshan's more than 110 sketches and landscape paintings, and the small scale has a large realm." From his colorful painting performance, we feel the artist's lofty feelings and wonderful poetry in the face of nature's creation; one after another real and credible scenes, showing the unique charm and full and long charm and meaning of the oil painting ontology language. ”
