Gongbi painting used to be the mainstream form of the early art world, until the emergence of freehand painting, the debate about the two forms of painting has always existed, some people appreciate the artistic conception of freehand painting, and some people appreciate the rigor and reality of Gongbi painting, and contemporary artists also have different choices, but whether it is Gongbi painting or freehand painting, there is an artist who has to mention, that is, He Jiaying.
We will not dwell on He Jiaying's many titles, and the reason why he is said to be a typical representative of Chinese Gongbi painting is inseparable from his unique painting style. He has not only achieved the transformation of Gongbi painting from classical form to modern form, but also retained the unique artistic charm in classical form, which is quite rare.
Every enterprising painter will not be complacent, especially if he inherits the tradition while hoping to carry forward the unique charm of Chinese painting, and hoping to combine the times with more innovations. He Jiaying is the same, so after continuous exploration and exploration, his works have won unanimous praise from people inside and outside the industry with their timeless and authentic, simple and exquisite painting style, and we can see a kind of poetry in his figure paintings.
He Jiaying's paintings are mainly female, and there are also women with different looks, laid-off female workers, women's directors, etc., but they have a common feature, that is, the unique graceful beauty of oriental women, but also with a faint sadness. In this regard, He Jiaying explained that he is not a person who has experienced ups and downs and cannot paint too tragic scenes, if he only depicts a beautiful woman, perhaps with a short visual enjoyment, but he cannot taste it for a long time, he hopes that his works can express emotions.
Whether it is a writer or a painter who hopes that the work can bring some touch to everyone, He Jiaying is the same, he does not want to criticize anything, preach anything, because the use of painting to intervene in society is too limited, he only hopes to be able to express emotions, let people see a painting to get what inspiration is too naïve, so He Jiaying hopes to be able to use paintings to nourish people's hearts.
Some people commented that He Jiaying's paintings show the beauty of oriental women, there is a kind of tranquility away from the hustle and bustle, as if the heart is also calm, this is the painter's skill, in the freehand painting and the brush stroke to find a balance point, the two styles go hand in hand, can do such a painter, rare, so his "painting fans" are not in the minority, every time you see He Jiaying's works, the emotions will be affected, let people reminisce for a long time.
