The 20th-century British artist Georgina Starr once said: "My work begins in a private place, but the work is not private, my work is open to everyone." ”
The word "private" in this sentence is a pun, not only expressing the artist's own personal, but also illustrating the "privacy" meaning of the work.
Wang Longjun oil painting
However, the meaning of the whole sentence is that the work is created by the painter himself, contains the privacy of the painter himself, or expresses the theme of some kind of privacy, but this "privacy" also belongs to everyone, and the "privacy" in everyone's heart.
So, how did the painter accomplish such an esoteric creative concept? Or in other words, what kind of content scenarios and painting style can make every viewer feel and experience "privacy"?
Here, I will give an example to illustrate that the mainland contemporary painter Wang Longjun, the painting of the woman, makes the viewer strongly feel the atmosphere and atmosphere of "privacy".
In layman's terms, the atmosphere and atmosphere of "privacy" are the same as ambiguity and privacy, that is to say, the whole picture has an erotic atmosphere, close to the "erotic" painting style.
Or it can be said that the atmosphere of "ghostly and gloomy" is very different from the positive, positive, and sunny atmosphere. However, it is worth noting that the atmosphere of the picture is gloomy, and it is not necessary to depict the character image as grotesque and terrifying.
As long as the "light and shadow effect" can set off the gloomy, terrifying, ambiguous and other intimate atmosphere of the whole picture, and contemporary painter Wang Longjun is doing this, the painting style of the whole picture is realistic, and the light and shadow tones emit a melancholy, gloomy, terrifying, and warm atmosphere.
First of all, let's understand the realistic painting style of the painting, whether it is the main body or the background details, it is clearly visible, the woman's posture is plump, and the mature and sexy charm is very strong.
They almost wear white clothes, so that the white and delicate skin looks more real and plump, the original "white" symbolizes purity, but in the contemporary painter Wang Longjun's women, but let the woman's rich and sexy atmosphere more intense,
The woman's demeanor and movements all seem to be vivid. So, why are the women in the picture wearing white clothes? This is not just the painter's personal preference, to satisfy his own "selfish desires" so simple,
More importantly, the use of the white of the main body, and the dark color of the background, forming a sharp contrast, to create a "visual contrast" effect, the meaning of this word is easy to understand, relative to the dark color of the background, the white of the subject, is the bright color,
The woman is the main body of the whole painting, then the image of the woman should stand out in the picture, white can make the image of the woman more distinct, not to mention, the painter uses a "single" white, but also shows simplicity,
Even if the background space is dim and messy, the whole painting is also clearly divided because of the "white" subject, of course, the painter also has the image of the main woman dressed in red clothes, but it is not a festive atmosphere, it is still gloomy and ambiguous,
It is worth noting that women dressed in red clothes exude a feminine, ambiguous and sexy atmosphere that is stronger than women dressed in white clothes, because "red" symbolizes passion and enthusiasm.
This red-hued woman oil painting also shows the painter himself, in addition to the complex of "white melancholy", the strong complex of "red passion",
In addition, it also shows that the woman in the pen of contemporary painter Wang Longjun, melancholy and enthusiastic temperament, can also be said to be melancholy in enthusiasm, this kind of oil painting characters, it is easy to stimulate the emotional resonance of the viewer, fascinating, after all, the character image is also very realistic,
Secondly, we understand the "light and shadow effect" of the contemporary painter Wang Longjun's women's oil painting, we can think that as far as the whole painting is concerned, the light effect at the background is more sufficient than the light effect at the main body, and it has a more "emotional sense".
First, because the background space is larger than the main body's space, the flow surface of light and shadow is naturally more extensive; second, the background space itself is dark-
If the light is not enough, the huge background is pitch black, can not see, not to mention, the background space and the scenery, for example, landscapes, trees, sky clouds, etc., is not "empty and empty", which requires more light;
There is also that the main space is a bright tone, and the light does not matter how much, not to mention, the main woman's facial expression "comes with" emotions, but the background space has no facial expression, so it is necessary to set off the neon through "light and shadow",
To understand a little, if the background of the tone is dim, there is no flexible light and shadow effect, it is equivalent to a bunch of color mud without temperature, such color mud, the scene image created,
There is no "real" to speak of, because there is no temperature of the color mud, it can not set off the atmosphere, no atmosphere of the scene, can not be "real", this is the background space of the light and shadow than the main space of the light and shadow more sufficient reason,
The painter skillfully handles the light and shadow effects of the background space and the subject space of the painting, so that the atmosphere of the character scene of the whole picture is more flexible, and it is easier to stimulate the visual feelings and emotional resonance of the viewer, I personally believe that the wonderful thing about the whole painting lies in the strong sense of emotion, and the woman with a plump body is not the biggest highlight.
