Zhou Gang painted
This group of still lifes is painted three times in a month, each time with new feelings, but in general, each time paying more attention to the structural relationship of the picture than the other.
Zhuang Ziyun: Things are inherent, things are inherently possible, nothing is not, nothing is indispensable. When painting still life, the still life we place or see has its value and basis for existence, and there is an inseparable relationship between things and things, and in our pictures, nothing cannot exist, and there is no object that has no value.
Every form in our picture is related to the intangible things in the picture, and only by dealing with the intangible things can those tangible things be valuable.
When you no longer pursue the beauty of the empty picture, just try to exhaustively chase the shape and structure of your picture, not just an apple, a vase. That's when you start really painting still lifes. (Written by |.) Ye Zhiwei)
