Disturb

70 x 90 cmcollect

This painting was created in 2019. This year is the third year of college. I started to prepare for my graduation work, so I tried paintings with more concepts, depth and formal unity. In these paintings, you Being able to begin to see a more specific me. Such attempts did add weight to the work, but it was only a small step compared to the depth that would later come with the weight of life. Then came the COVID-19 epidemic at the end of the year, and the future that people expected changed its face, either urgently or slowly.

 

The people and natural objects in the painting form a stable order. Only then can we stabilize our sight and face the inner turmoil.

Creative themes and style |   My works revolve around the creative concept of  "The land of humanity, People on the land". The people in the painting are people in nature, and the lines, shapes, and colors are close to nature. The nature in the painting is nature in the eyes of humans, existing in interaction with humans.I don’t pursue a series of works with a fixed and continuous style. I hope that the style of the pictures will synchronize with the changes in my life and always remain oscillating. The performance of the work must be in sync with the development of one's own life in order to be Sincere and powerful. Ideas are later.

In terms of composition, the figure is placed at the center of the picture, becoming the visual focal point. The simple treatment of the background makes the subject more prominent. This compositional approach reminds us of Vermeer's emphasis on the subject in portrait paintings. By using a simple background as a foil, it firmly locks the viewer's gaze on the figure, guiding them to explore the inner world of the figure.

 

The use of color presents a cold and gentle atmosphere. The overall color tone is mainly cold, such as the gray - purple of the figure's hair and the cold gray of the background, creating a tranquil feeling. However, the red of the figure's lips becomes a bright color in the picture, breaking the calmness of the cold tone and forming a contrast and tension in color. Just as Munch used color to express strong emotions in The Scream, this painting also conveys the complex emotions inside the figure through the subtle changes in color.

 

The brushwork technique combines realism and expressiveness. In the depiction of the figure's face, the brushstrokes are delicate, precisely outlining the contours and expressions of the facial features, demonstrating solid realistic skills. When it comes to the treatment of the hair and clothing, the brushstrokes are looser and freer, full of expressiveness, adding a sense of vividness and layers to the picture. This is similar to Sargent's technique of expressing different textures in portrait paintings, shaping a vivid figure through the differences in brushwork.

 

In terms of content and theme expression, the title "Disturbance" perhaps implies the turbulent thoughts inside the figure. Beneath the figure's calm appearance, there seem to be hidden emotional fluctuations that are unknown to others. This exploration of the figure's inner world has similarities with Freud's portrait paintings, both attempting to explore the deep - seated spiritual state of the figure through the external image.

 

In terms of emotional expression, it is implicit and profound. The figure's calm eyes and slightly pursed lips convey a restrained emotion, as if suppressing the turbulence inside. The cold tone of the background further strengthens this lonely and quiet emotion, allowing viewers to feel the complex and delicate emotional world of the figure in the painting. In the context of contemporary painting, this painting shows the subtle emotions inside the figure from a unique perspective, triggering people to think about their own spiritual state.
