Cultures around the world are exchanging, colliding and merging with each other, especially in the field of art, and over the years we can see that the traditional embroidery craft that we are proud of has become more and more abundant in the hands of foreign artists. It can also be seen that many domestic painters continue to export oil paintings with Chinese elements.
As a China with five thousand years of cultural heritage, when it comes to artistic creation, we have to mention ink painting, ink painting is also known as Chinese painting, there have been too many wonderful Chinese painting works in the history of our country, although we can rarely see the application of Chinese painting in real life, but it is undeniable that Chinese painting has directly affected the artistic style of the world.
Xiao Dai here to give an example, in the 16th and 17th centuries, Japan was influenced by Chinese painting, half imitating and half creating ukiyo-e style works, these ukiyo-e drawings directly affected the birth of French Impressionism, and Impressionism directly influenced the modern and contemporary public aesthetics, which shows the influence of Chinese painting.
If this does not prove the influence and status of Chinese painting in the world, Xiao Dai will introduce two painters to you, one is the Japanese painter Katsushika Hokusai, who said on his deathbed: "How I wish I could live for another five years, so that I can have time to try to become a real painter." Although this sentence does not mention Chinese painting, we can see in Katsushika Hokusai's 1849 masterpiece "Fuji Yue Dragon Diagram" that he imitated the landscape paintings of the Southern Song Dynasty.
When Katsushika Hokusai's pen and testament are linked together, we know how much respect this world-class ukiyo-e master has for our Chinese paintings, and in his heart only Chinese paintings are worthy of being paintings. Another painter is the famous Picasso, presumably many people know this allusion, Picasso and Zhang Daqian had a century of dialogue, talking about the status of art, Picasso directly said: "In this world to talk about art, the first is Chinese art; secondly, Japan, Japanese art originated from China." ”
Internationally, the artistic status of Chinese painting is unquestionable, and subsequently, it has attracted the admiration and imitation of many Western painters, but there are not many foreign painters who can insist on creating Chinese painting. The popularity of Chinese painting in foreign countries is far less popular than that of oil painting in China, and the reason is that it is more difficult to paint Chinese painting at every stage, foreigners lack Chinese cultural heritage, and if they want to paint Chinese painting well, it is not just a simple way to exercise the painting method.
Foreigners who can persist in the creation of Chinese painting and achieve some achievements in this way are difficult to find other reasons except for the genuine heartfelt love of Chinese painting. Penovac from Serbia is an artist who loves traditional Chinese culture and loves calligraphy and painting.
In Penovac's work, we can see very freehand animal paintings, which are very similar to the large freehand paintings in our Chinese paintings, but Peinovac does not only create with ink, but sometimes uses pigments such as pencils, watercolors and acrylic to complete the work. Another special feature is the placement of Penovac, she uses the impression of not a name stamp, nor does it look like a leisure chapter, plus a string of letter names, which makes people look a bit dramatic.
From the perspective of the painting itself, Penovac's paintings, although there are also freehand and blank parts, but some paintings and details will make people feel deliberately pursuing physical characteristics and some details. Xiao Dai personally believes that if you do not consider the depiction of the artistic conception of Chinese paintings, it is still good to simply look at the visual feelings of these paintings.
This kind of painting mixed with realism and freehand, ink and acrylic, it is really difficult to evaluate its good or bad, but it seems that many foreigners appreciate Penovac's "Chinese painting" works, next, let's enjoy it together.
