The classification of paintings can not only be based on materials and subject matter, but also according to its actual role, some paintings are used for expression, some paintings are used for thinking, and many paintings are used to record and conduct academic research. For example: Leonardo da Vinci's "Vitruvius" and mannequin works.
Of course, the latter receives far less attention than other types of works, but in terms of practical value, Xiao Dai believes that these paintings are the same, and there is no distinction between high and low.
Painting itself is a lonely and lonely work, engaged in academic painting to withstand loneliness, they will hardly enter the vision of ordinary people, which requires that the academic painter really loves the work he is engaged in. The Dutch artist Esther van Hulson is a very, very good academic painter whose main work is modern biology and paleontological painting.
Esther van Hurson was born in 1981, in college to study communication design and scientific illustration major, from the beginning of college, focused on wildlife painting, rich painting experience, let her gradually began to paint extinct paleontology, we can now see dinosaurs, Archaeopteryx, saber-toothed tiger is an academic painter silently created, let people sincerely admire.
In fact, before 2016, Esther van Hulson was as obscure as hundreds of other academic painters, but in 2016, she began to draw an extinct octopus with ink from 95 million years ago, which began to attract attention. It is worth mentioning that the last artist who used ancient ink to paint animals like her was created by the famous paleontologist Mary Anning in 1800.
Esther van Hulson is a clever painter who knows how to get people to notice herself and thus use that attention to support herself in continuing to paint, Esther van Hulson said: "I love animals, these animals are not just a part of this world, and with the exploration of animals, you will find that regardless of their size and form, every animal has its own personality like a human, and this is what I want to express with painting." ”
