Mr. Chen Shaoping has been engaged in watercolor creation for more than forty years; He has held many personal watercolor exhibitions in the United States, Taiwan Province Province and Chinese mainland, and left a deep impression on the audience with his unique modern style. He is an influential and famous watercolor painter in contemporary China.
Since the late 1950s, Mr. Chen Shaoping has always attached great importance to the discussion of color and form. He studied the new visual expression of Impressionism and thought that color was one of the essential characteristics of painting. He carefully understood the characteristics of western modern art and the evolution of its artistic concept, especially after 1984, when the other party asked about beauty, his artistic vision became broader; I have discussed the forms of expression with Di Picasso and Kandinsky's lyric abstract works many times, and learned creative nutrition from them. Although Mr Chen Shaoping is eighty years old, his artistic thoughts are very active. Every time I visit Mr. Chen, he always tells me that he has his own unique views on the new trend of painting at home and abroad, and his artistic thoughts can be said to be avant-garde and advanced. I think part of his creative vitality comes from his modern artistic concept. His understanding of art can be examined from the perspective of art history and modern art at home and abroad, while he himself is a little higher, creating new watercolor art with modern artistic concepts.
If the abstract expression in his works comes from his study of rich color expression methods in western art, then the imagery characteristics in his works are caused by his grasp of the aesthetic spirit in China traditional art. How to unify the aesthetic spirit of China traditional art with the idea of western modern art in watercolor painting creation is an important subject that Mr. Chen Shaoping has been thinking, exploring and practicing repeatedly. In the 20th century, in the creation of Chinese painting, the so-called combination of Chinese and western has been discussed, trying to find a way to inject new blood into Chinese painting to promote its development, although their emphasis is different. Watercolor painting is a foreign art. How to make watercolor painting have both modern artistic spirit and new aesthetic form, and China's artistic charm is a question that Chen Shaoping thinks about and a new visual problem that he wants to create in China's contemporary watercolor painting.
China's traditional artistic aesthetics and artistic spirit are different from western traditional aesthetics and art in that they imitate, reproduce and be realistic about objective things. China's art pays more attention to the expression, freehand brushwork and subjective spirit, and attaches importance to the artistic conception creation of image expression, thus forming the charm of oriental art.
