The Pure And Rigorous Beauty Of Neostructuralism

Euan Uglow is recognized as one of the masters by the whole field of English contemporary painting after Francis Bacon and Lucian Freud. His paintings not only reappear the characters of classical art—balanced, stable and simple, but also refine the forms and structures of modern art, creating a unique artistic features between traditional and modern art, interpreting the beauty of neostructuralism. The standard and accurate perspective, the visual proportion adhering to still life, the simple and subtle use of color, the anfractuous marks on canvas, and the interesting geometric pattern, these all reveal Uglow’s paintings’ particularity and apparent feature of modern, also show the beauty of neostructuralism which is simple and rigorous while without loss of harmony and elegance.His success depends on his record of the complexity of this real world with his dynamic mind. And this record is also the interpretation of his persistent rigorous attitude and spirit of exploration. This thesis through comprehensive study of an English realistic painter—Euan Uglow, as well as his painting expression and its forming factors, rigorous attitude to achieve sense and painting style in pursuit of ration, magnificent, concise and solemn characteristics and his focus on the rolled time and deeply thinking of the moment or eternity of life, and painters’ persuit of infinite connotation within a limited time, reproduces the world of painting of him and focuses on the analysis of the simple and rigorous beauty of neostructuralism, thus to think rationally about the impetuous academic atmosphere in the environment of rapid development, and to put forward several suggestions about artistic creation by taking Uglow as example to help us hold a more rational and serious attitude towards artistic creation and explore a new form of art.
