The Study Of Su Tianci's Imagery Oil Painting

"Image" is a specific aesthetic category of Chinese classical aesthetics. Here, the "Meaning" and "shape" is no longer presented as an opposition between subject and object, but progressing layer by layer and ultimately achieving mutual integration of the subject and object. "Image" represents a Chinese particular view of the universe and way of understanding. Image painting is a title of Chinalization, which reflects the Chinese artists'understanding and reforming of the alien species. And it can be seen as a specific exploration and practice of painting nationalization and localization. As Shang-hui says, "Image painting is the'I of and 'conversion'of Chinese culture spirit, ethnic aesthetic mentality and regional characteristics toward the heterogeneous arts core."Image oil painting is not only a word of painting appearance and criticism; it is more representative of a series of features on the technique level. Thus, although the author interpretates some related concepts at the beginning of the paper, the focus of this paper is not to research or define such established concepts as "image" or "image canvas". The purpose of clarifying these concepts is to pave the way for the latter narration. This paper is aimed to narrate Su Tianci's thoughts and feelings in exploring nationalization of the oil painting by using "image oil painting".In the late-1940s," Woman in black Image" marked the establishment of Su Tianci's image oil painting style, including the screen technique factors (such as the use of lines, flat coating of color) as well as the spirit and temperament revealed by the characters, all of which make a distinguished difference from traditional Western classical oil painting.The author believes that the true masterpiece of Su Tianci's image canvas style is a series of landscape paintings created in the late-1980's. If Su Tianci in the " Woman in black Image" era was only a protege of Lin Fengmian and was following his pace, Su Tianci has gradually arrived at a casual art state in the last 20-odd years and this art language is totally unique to him. Only up to now can we say Su Tianci's exploration of image oil painting has been successful. His late works are the focus of the author, and it was in his late works that Su has formed an entirely different feature and his unique artistic style has been strengthened and highlighted.
