The famous painter Mr. Zhao Xianwen recently created the "Danqing Illusion Series Top color paintings - bird's eye view of the Yellow River estuary", which is definitely a major event that has invigorated the Chinese painting world. Its valuable point lies in the in-depth exploration of the origin of art with creative thinking.
Zhao Xianwen was the first painter to express the landscape of the Yellow River estuary. As early as the 1970s, he pioneered a series of Yellow River style paintings, opening up the artistic road of affectionately depicting and recording the Yellow River into the sea. The Yellow River culture has also become the soul material in his artistic creation. In fifty years, he has presented the world with a kind of elephant realm that is close at hand and intends to be thousands of miles away.
The creation of top color painting is undoubtedly a new field of artistic development.
From the initial texture painting and image space, to the ink illusion series of works unveiled in Jinan last year, and then to today's Danqing illusion, after 40 years of searching for the source and seeking the truth, the innovation and creation of four generations of Tuocai painting works has been completed. The Danqing Illusion series of works that are integrated into the Yellow River culture show a kind of cultural imagination and artistic creation that is thick and majestic, ups and downs, unpredictable, and the unity of heaven and man through the use of magical color effects.
A piece of paper spreads the flow of books, and an ink is sprinkled with fantasy.
With a "bird's eye view" sketch instead of a long scroll of ink, the national memory of the Yellow River for thousands of years is independent and natural and clearly recognizable in one "illusion". Behind these works, Mr. Zhao Xianwen will intertwine his reflections on life and his perception of history into the turbulent changes of the times.
It can be predicted from the strong social response of the "Danqing Illusion Series Of Topcolor Paintings - Bird's Eye View of the Yellow River Estuary" that these top color paintings with high artistic value and collection value have continuously enriched and influenced the Chinese painting world while laying their indelible artistic contributions.
