We are already familiar with the history and genre of Western painting, but we cannot include all works with it, especially the young artists of contemporary China, who have long jumped out of the level of imitation and tracing, but after mastering the relevant techniques, they seek an expression of their own
Many critics face a certain confusion when confronted with Wang Yubo's oil paintings, and it seems inappropriate to classify him as realistic, freehand, or abstract. The introduction of him to his contemporary imagery expressionist painters is actually very reluctant.

Based on our past experience, there is no perfect reason to summarize Wang Yubo's rich and changing creations in any genre. But all oil paintings will have the shadow of Western painting, even Western painting has no absolute definition, strictly speaking, it is not necessary.
Wang Yubo's oil paintings are full of deep meaning in their spontaneous composition and strong colors. In particular, those small landscapes and character sketches show brilliant and colorful characteristics. He likes to use warm colors and geometric shapes, informal and inseparable from objects, it should be said that he has his own unique and distinctive face, which cannot be bound and generalized by any kind of sect.
Wang Yubo was born in 1978 in Kaifeng, Henan Province, and after graduating from the Art College of Hainan University, he set up his own art studio in Shenzhen and founded the 108 Oil Painting Commune. He is not following the usual path of art students, but based on a deep understanding of art and the expectation of unremitting exploration, he uses the practice of creation to find and establish his own world and language.

Outside the old city gate 80x65cm
From his interpretation of his own work, you may see this pursuit of his. "For example, when painting "The Old House", I thought that I didn't have to copy it according to the prototype, which would be the same, lacking imagination and emotion.
"I think sketching is not just the ability to solve the basic shapes and colors, but also the search for a certain emotional support and the discovery of the heart."
Isolated city 65X80cm
In the process of painting "Lonely City", he boldly discarded too many irrelevant scene interferences, only painting a calm and simple horizon, a white cloud floating by, and a broken old wall. He uses three elements to construct the picture, get rid of the objective object, which is equivalent to subtracting the burden of having nothing to do with the theme, when people appreciate the work, they will feel the emotional infection that comes from the face, and the spirit of independence after people have experienced the vicissitudes of history, this poetic expression is completely born in the expression between the image and the unlike.

Deformation and exaggeration, especially strong patches of color, became a handy medium for painters. To say that "Night Return" is more representative of Wang Yubo's artistic style, I am afraid it will not be too much: the earthen house, the chai gate, and the fence are expressed in rich flat color blocks, and exaggerated deformations are made, and the warmth and care of human nature are highlighted in the tension. An inconspicuous puppy seems to be the finishing touch, becoming the focus of the entire work, creating a vast living space.
