Rejecting Reality

In this paper,Cassirer and Susan Lange's theory of symbolic aesthetics as the theoretical support point,which leads to virtualization of pictorial symbols in contemporary watercolor painting performance of this topic,the article elaborates on the virtualization of pictorial symbols The production,the characteristic,the symbolic function and the significance of the application.The symbolic illustration in the painting works is a concentrated expression of the artist's creation of abstract emotions and concepts.As a purely visual art,watercolors have limited means of extending to other forms of art from the ontological language of painting.However,through the intervention of new ideas and the constant adjustment of the picture elements,watercolor painting has become more necessary.The symbol of virtualization is not "substantial" but "conceptual".It is precisely because it is the artist's subjective creation of the objective world that makes the use of virtual symbols have a conceptual intervention in the watercolor creation.In accordance with the law,the virtualized graphic symbols transform the objective facts and refine the features such as contour lines according to the universality of the depicted things.When the viewer sees the pictorial symbols in the picture,according to these general features,he can look for the corresponding points between the icon and the object in the personal experience and the perceived experience,and the virtual pictorial symbol can be directly Translated into the viewer's personal interpretation of the interpretation.Such pictorial symbol encounters each viewer's gaze,resulting in a series of thinking beyond its own,giving it a personal interpretation,expanding the possibility of the meaning of the picture,and at the same time unlocking an expression that exists Common way.Contemporary watercolor art is closely related to the society and the backgroundof the times.Artists should be good at paying attention to and exploring the problems of contemporary society and combining the forms of art.There are not many works of watercolor art with the tendency of virtual social symbolization in many exhibitions at home and abroad.This kind of highly conceptual works enhance people's understanding of the art expression form of watercolor in the realistic subject matter.This kind of symbol with unclear,vague and metaphorical is still in the experimental stage of watercolor painting,which has a great exploration space.Much of the research on watercolor creation in China is still on the traditional body language,techniques,comprehensive materials,and so on.
