Relationship Between Ji Dachun Painting Motive And Form Language

With the scope established within the environment of contemporary avant-garde art in China,this study discusses the relationship between painting motive and form language,through an in-depth analysis of artist Ji Dachun.Taking Ji as an example,the reasons for the formation of artists’ personalised art languages and how they establish their own artistic positions are discussed based on the context of China’s contemporary art.Currently,there are few in-depth studies and comprehensive introductions on the relationship between Ji’s painting motive and form language,let alone any summarisation of the artist’s individual artistic development or specialised discussion on the relationship between painting motive and form language.There remains,thus,a room for accommodating academic studies on the artist.Firstly,artistic benchmarks of the works of Ji in different periods are analysed to discuss the relation between painting motive and form language.Then,this study undertakes the following: an in-depth comprehensive investigation into and physical interpretation of the artist’s works;a review of representative works of artists in different periods;and horizontal historical comparisons between Ji and contemporary Chinese artists of the same period.The study was aimed at comprehensively exploring the academic significance and aesthetic possibility of artists’ painting motive with regard to the formation of personalised form language.Psychological model theories were utilised to explain the causes behind artists’ painting motives to attempt to influence the formation of their form languages.Finally,this study also analysed the referential significance of Ji’s painting motive and form language to this researcher’s artistic concept and creation practices.
