I. Introduction
As a unique form of expression in the field of art, abstract oil painting often transcends the limitations of the objective world, and arouses the audience's deep inner resonance and reflection through the abstract expression of color, shape, line and other elements. In the history of art, abstract art has always played an important role, subverting and challenging the traditional concept of painting, and opening up a new world of artistic creation.
Abstract oil painting is becoming more and more prominent in the field of art. Compared with traditional realistic painting, abstract oil painting pays more attention to the independent use of artistic elements such as form, structure and color, and emphasizes the expression of emotions and artistic conceptions, making the works more connotative and abstract. Through unique creative techniques and forms of expression, abstract artists break the limitations of traditional painting and explore the possibility of expressing subjective emotions and inner experiences, thus creating a unique artistic language.
II. The Emergence and Aesthetic Background of Abstract Painting
As an important revolutionary movement in the history of art in the 20th century, abstract painting completely subverted and redefined the traditional concept of painting. It was born out of a challenge to the realistic way of depicting it, an attempt to explore a deeper artistic expression through abstract expression. The development of abstract painting can be traced back to the early 20th century, with the rise of a series of modernist movements, artists began to try to abandon the traditional methods of objective expression, and turned to a more abstract and free way of creation.
In the course of the development of abstract painting, a series of representative art schools and master works have emerged. For example, Russia's "Suprematism" was proposed by Kazimir Malevich and emphasized the influence of simple geometric shapes and pure colors on art, the "De Stijl" movement in the Netherlands, led by Piet Mondrian, focused on the simplification of forms and the standardization of constitutive principles, and the French "Abstract Expressionism." Expressionism) was advocated by Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning and others, emphasizing the direct expression of emotions and inner experiences, as well as the exploration of the artistic conception of the picture.
Abstract painting is closely related to a particular era, reflecting the social, political and cultural changes of the 20th century. Between the two world wars, abstract painting became a way to oppose traditional authority and values, showing the artist's response to the social turmoil and uncertainty of the time. The rise of abstract painting is also closely related to the development of modern technology, psychology and other fields, and artists try to explore the complexity and diversity of the human inner world through abstract expression.
The aesthetic background of abstract painting has far-reaching significance, it highlights the importance of artistic elements such as form, structure, and color, and emphasizes art as an independent language and means of expression. In abstract painting, artists pursue the direct expression of inner emotions and artistic conceptions, trying to break the limitations of traditional painting and open up new fields of artistic creation. Through the aesthetic exploration of abstract paintings, people can better understand and feel the deep meaning contained in works of art, and experience the power of art to human aesthetic enjoyment and spiritual enlightenment.
III. The expression of artistic conception in abstract oil painting
In abstract oil painting, artistic conception is the emotion, thought and meaning expressed by the artist through color, line, shape and other elements, and it is the spiritual resonance and emotional resonance generated by the viewer when appreciating the work. Abstract oil painting, with its abstract and non-figurative expression, provides artists with a broader and more free creative space, enabling them to create colorful, deep and charming artistic conceptions through various artistic elements.
First of all, color plays a crucial role in abstract oil painting, which is not only the visual basis of the work, but also one of the important means of expressing the artistic conception. Through the selection, collocation and use of colors, the artist creates different moods and artistic conceptions. For example, warm reds, oranges, and yellows can convey enthusiasm, energy, and joy, while cooler blues, greens, and purples often convey calm, deep, and introspective moods. At the same time, the changes in light and shade, contrast and saturation of colors can further enrich the expressiveness of the work, leading the viewer into the emotional realm set by the artist.
Secondly, lines are often used in abstract oil paintings to express abstract concepts and emotions. The position, length, thickness, and straightness of the lines can all convey the artist's inner experience and emotional expression. Sometimes, the interlacing, overlapping and extension of the lines creates a unique sense of rhythm and dynamic beauty, which makes the work full of life and expressiveness. Through the arrangement and combination of lines, the artist can create a variety of forms and structures, triggering the viewer's in-depth thinking and perception of the artistic conception of the work.
In addition, shape is also one of the important elements to express the artistic conception in abstract oil painting. The size, proportion, and layout of the shapes have a direct impact on the viewer's understanding and feeling of the work. Simple geometric shapes or abstract symbols are often used to symbolize specific emotions and thoughts, guiding the viewer to associate and interpret them in the work. Artists can create a unique artistic atmosphere through the deformation, repetition and change of shapes, so that the works present a rich variety of expressions and connotations.
IV.i.a.
In abstract oil painting, emotion is the heart and soul of the artist's creation, and at the same time, it is also a bridge between the viewer and the work. The source and expression of emotions are of great significance in abstract oil painting, which not only reflects the artist's personal emotional experience and inner world, but also touches the audience's heart and triggers emotional resonance through the work, so as to realize the emotional communication between the artwork and the viewer.
First of all, the source of emotion in abstract oil painting can be the artist's perception and reflection on various elements such as life, nature, and society. Through the observation and experience of the world around them, the artist may internalize the emotions he feels, such as joy, anger, sorrow, and joy, into artistic elements such as colors, lines, and shapes in his works. Through the refinement and transformation of emotions, the artist integrates his own emotional experience into his works, making the works a carrier and expression of emotions.
Secondly, the way in which abstract oil painting touches the viewer's heart through emotional resonance is mainly reflected in the viewer's perception and understanding of the work. Due to the non-figurative nature and diversity of abstract oil paintings, the viewer often needs to rely on their own associations and imaginations to understand the emotions and artistic conceptions expressed in the works when appreciating the works. Elements such as colours, lines and shapes in the work evoke deep emotions in the viewer and provoke them to think and perceive. The viewer may feel sad, happy, shocked, or calm because of the emotional atmosphere presented in the work, and this emotional resonance makes the work no longer limited to the artist's personal emotional expression, but an emotional resonance experience that can touch the hearts of many viewers.
Finally, the key for artists to incorporate personal emotions into their works and resonate with the viewer is that they need to express their emotions through artistic techniques and formal language. Artists may use the chiaroscuro of colors, the undulating changes of lines, and the staggered combination of shapes to convey their emotional experience, so that the work is full of vitality and emotional tension. At the same time, the artist also needs to leave enough room for imagination and thinking, so that the viewer can find their own emotional resonance in the work, and stimulate the deep emotional resonance and resonance in the heart.
