Mysterious and magical charm
Painter Du Baocai abstract paintings look and feel
Shao Dazhen / Wen is colorful, dazzling, inky, rich, meteorological, ever-changing... The paintings of the painter Du Baocai are very artistically appealing. The friend who recommended him introduced his artistic experience and creative process, and I was very touched and vaguely felt the mysterious content hidden in his paintings - the mysterious charm, or the mysterious beauty, the mysterious color, the mysterious power. Du Baocai's works "Wuxiang", "Wuji", "Wuwei", "Ban Ruoshan", "Change" and so on, all have a mysterious atmosphere. The mysterious forces involved in this mysterious meteorology may be supernatural or invisible. However, it was firmly grasped by the painter Du Baocai, and carried out artistic reproduction, mastery and use freely. As a painter, it is very rare to be able to find a form suitable for expressing objective scenes and subjective objects. Therefore, he has unlimited space for expression, as much as he can swing, as much as he can express...

The painter Du Baocai's paintings are abstract, figurative, and even imagery. But in general, it should also belong to the category of abstract art. Art is a reflection of life, and abstract art is also a reflection of life, even more intensely. As far as artistic expression is concerned, the forms should be diverse. This is the blossoming of a hundred flowers. As an individual person, the existence of human beings will encounter many twists and turns or ups and downs in specific lives, which is a valuable asset. though. This is often too cruel for artists. I remember that the painter Du Baocai painted a painting called "Spirit". He paints dragons and horses, alluding to the spirit of dragon horses. Compared with other paintings, this work is more concrete, especially the shape of the horse, which reminds me of the images in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", which is very fairy and has positive energy. It is this spirit that can be understood as the spirit of Chinese, or the spirit of the nation. This is the indomitable spirit of courageous struggle. Du Baocai's mysterious and magical charm may come from this.

We know that it is human nature to love beauty, and it is the nature of art to be innovative. The reason why people need art is not only to embellish life and cultivate sentiments, but also to have more inner spiritual needs; In the realm of art, it is the choice of every artist to pin down their ideals and express their spiritual appeals. Then, what kind of artistic picture to choose, what kind of artistic realm to create. In the art world, there have always been many factions, and there are many opinions and disagreements. There are countless realists, idealists, abstractions, and so on, each with its own theory or even system. But there seems to be a consensus for everyone, that is, the source of artistic creation comes from real life. The spirit of artistic creation feels the inspiration of the two worlds of the guest, rather than imagining it out of thin air and relying on subjectivity. Although my understanding of the trajectory of the painter Du Baocai's life is only a few words, I also seem to have found some reasons why he expressed himself in this way. There are often many uncertain factors in life. We speculate, we doubt. We meet it in a dream. These are non-concrete, abstract. They seem to be closer to the definition of art.

Our literature and art have always advocated a realistic approach to creation. Realism in the field of painting is realism. In the primary limit of art appreciation, Chinese readers generally tend to realistic works, but with the accumulation of knowledge and the improvement of understanding, people's appreciation tastes will also change. People's demands on material and cultural life are constantly increasing, abstract and impressionistic. Works of surrealism, Dadaism and other doctrines are also increasingly accepted and followed by a wide range of readers. About abstraction or abstract art. We have been discussing and trying in practice for many years, and it is still controversial. Controversy, even struggle, fierce ideological struggle from different fields with artist ontologies. However, the topic or content of the discussion has changed, from the initial debate on the value of the existence of abstraction to today's more in-depth discussion of the gains and losses of abstract art. From the general trend, it is completely negated to abstract art, or to enshrine abstraction as supreme. It is used to deny realism or realism, which is less and less common. Abstraction has become an aspect of the world's diverse art landscape. Its original ideological sharpness has been greatly weakened, and more as an artistic style and genre to adapt to the needs of society.
