The Image Behind The Mirror—Naturality And Urbanity In Abstract Art

This article hope through the finishing painting at all times as the effect of different "mirror", to explore, city and artists themselves with multiple relationship between painting and nature. Traditional painting has long been seen as open a window, through the painting, we can see more. However this image construction in the present age of the world, people believe that the visual image without hesitation. "visible" = = truth has become the era of visual equation, see what is the most alarming, however, because even saw, sometimes we even see the mother cannot distinguish the truth of their own. American art education scholars terry Barrett differences explain respectively as the Windows and the mirror image of "the window to tell us more about the world and the mirror told us more is about the artists themselves." So I think painting in today should be more transparent as unreal, revelation of latent, be reflected to capture a mirror of nature, people and society internal spirit.According to the time clue in classical paintings are a mirror of the person of different image and look in the mirror, discuss the medium of painting development of reflective and examine itself. From the change of painting style discussion after entering the modern flat mirror until distorted wave broken process, expanding the concept of "mirror", the content of the painting reflects from objective specific naturalism into subjective feeling of modern life and urban society, is the urban "abstract". With the further expansion of this tendency, abstract expressionism painting developed with full attention to our inner feelings, abstract concept also has a growing at the same time, the western philosophy, Oriental zen Buddhism, Taoism, primitivism etc. Ideas are constantly enrich the connotation of abstract painting in the conceptualization development. And after a period of time, painting and from study the inner loop of the heart with pure formalism tripping out; In contemporary art as the breakthrough point of the image elements, through the ages in series with the image space of the painting again through contact with external naturally, heavy expression about comprehensive nature, namely "natural abstraction". And painting elements also spread out from the four corners of the plane, form a kind of pay attention to the overall perception of visual experience.The last part of me from undergraduate to current practice, analyze my style of from concrete to abstract process, and some new tendency. Overall my painting is divided into two directions, the same is I use oil painting in the traditional "dying" bubble to complete work, and I get art reflection attitude too fast and consumption. The difference is a kind of tend to strict production, expressing a kind of urbanization and the contemporary social mechanism; the cold feeling Another tool by hand feeling down a relatively free expression of the concept of natural abstraction.
