Painting Style
I have never taken professional art education. Little knowledge about painting I have.
The followings are my paintings style.
1. The shapes bring me a lot of inspiration
At the beginning of a work, drawing shapes. The shapes bring me a lot of inspiration, I feel it is like an association game.
Based on my experience of technical drawing, I regard shapes as a basis of painting inspiration.
In addition, setting a theme, talking a client, which also bring me a lot of inspiration.
In this way, painting at random.
2. Leaving impressive works or sceneries with a memory
I have practiced painting a lot, but it is still hard to paint a beautiful work.
But sometimes I can do it after watching impressive works or sceneries.
So when finding an impressive work or scenery, closing my eyes and leaving it with a memory. Stopping to look at an object with silent. Just as if I were a photographer.
This is my ordinary for painting.
3. Painting what I found there
Looking at white wall at night, sometimes I find something there.
Also being tired, sometimes I find something there.
I rush painting them rapidly.
These phenomenons happen suddenly.
What I found leaves in a memory, and it erases after I paint it.
Even completed the work, I don’t forget what I found.
I cannot understand and explain why these phenomenons happen, but it is clear that my works that I painted in this way often receive a high evaluation.
Now I cannot imagine my works evaluated without this way.
Painting in this way is hard on my body, however it helps me to do a good performance.
There is one more way. What I found does not always leave in a memory.
Sometimes I find something in my brain suddenly and I paint it very rapidly.
The painting is one of a kind. It inspires me an idea of lyric, music and novel.
Used material
Painting with acrylic paint on cloth, wall, canvas and so on.
