introduce

With the development of image production and communication technology, cultural landscape also presents a brand-new style. Image is the focus of general attention at present, and its relationship with oil painting art is getting closer and closer. When we pay attention to image art, the key of traditional culture attracts our attention day by day. As China people, we should not only have strong national self-confidence and pride, but also take active actions to improve the quality of China's oil paintings, enhance the competitiveness of China's oil paintings in the process of globalization, and further highlight the distinctive cultural impact, historical penetration and artistic vitality with national characteristics to counter hegemonic countries? Cultural infiltration? . Therefore, absorbing the essence of folk art has become an important part of the development of oil painting art, and some China artists have made outstanding achievements in this field.

Secondly, the development and innovation of China's oil painting is based on folk art.

The innovation of art originates from life. The main features of China's oil painting art should be avant-garde and contemporary. Only innovation can keep this feature all the time, and only innovation can conform to the trend of the times and fully show the appeal and fresh vitality of contemporary oil painting art in China. China folk art is the spiritual wealth left over from the process of civilization, with rich historical and cultural heritage. If China's oil painting wants to achieve innovation, it must be carried out on the soil of China culture. The reason is closely related to the unique values and thinking expression of China culture. In addition, the innovation of China oil painting art is based on traditional folk art.

If China's oil paintings want to achieve innovation, they must actively absorb the nutrition of folk art and make the visual experience as rich and diverse as possible. Only in this way can their aesthetic and artistic values be fully displayed, especially in the case of the continuous development of world cultural integration and the increasing prevalence of hegemonism. Therefore, we must maintain the basic characteristics of China's national culture, otherwise China's oil paintings will not easily gain international recognition and maintain their unique personality because of the lack of a unified national * * *.

The origin of oil painting art is Europe, and it has only been introduced to China for a few hundred years. It belongs to overseas art, and has developed into a unique part of China's national culture after a long period of integration and trade-off. This is also the result of oil painting artists such as Xu Beihong and Wu Guanzhong's exploration of the national road of oil painting art, which has promoted the further development of oil painting art. Therefore, the innovation of oil painting art in absorbing the nutrition of traditional folk art mainly refers to showing national characteristics and aesthetics from the aspects of form and language expression, and more importantly, showing the national cultural heritage and the logical effect of visual thinking. Because of this, the innovation of oil painting art appears in the form of folk art, and its practical and cultural significance is strong.

Thirdly, it shows the influence of folk art on China's oil paintings.

1 on the application of various modeling methods of folk art in oil painting art

The main way to express its unique thinking logic in folk art is the modeling norms of its thinking, which makes the modeling of folk art present various forms. It forms aesthetic feeling visually, which is a form often used in modern art. The visual aesthetic feeling of folk art is closely related to the original art in the initial stage in imaginative modeling. Its shape is not only simple and casual, but also fully demonstrates continuity, aesthetics and originality. On the basis of understanding, it expresses beautiful modeling in a symbolic way. It turns physical objects into plane symbols or abstract lines, which seems to have no logic at all, but in fact it has certain logic, which not only conforms to folk ideas, but also is full of strangeness, with huge deformation and abnormal exaggeration, fully demonstrating the unique plastic arts of the people. Psychologist Rudolf? Arnheim once said in the book Art and Visual Perception:? All perception includes thinking, all reasoning includes intuition, and all observation includes creation. ? Therefore, thinking and vision are very important for artistic creation. Especially in the oil painting art, various forms of visual beauty have been fully displayed. For example, in Wang Huaiqing's works, modal silhouette shows its orthodox side. As for The Banquet, the appearance of its two-dimensional space is expressed by simple carving. Although you can't see the specific details of the objects, according to the specific positions and dynamic characteristics of various objects in the painting, the viewer has a sense of confusion. His works still use plane silhouette modeling, relying entirely on modal silhouette. As for freehand brushwork, it has been fully displayed in Luo Zhongli's works in recent years. His works strive to fully grasp the morphological characteristics through the expression of images, not paying attention to details, but forming a unique style through exaggeration and fantasy. The purpose of the work is to convey the spirit through pure color and avoid being limited by its natural form.

Folk art not only adds charm to modern art in modeling methods, but also is very unique in materials. For example, the production of traditional folk pottery influenced Guo Zhengshan's still life. Pottery belongs to clay embryo, its texture is not only dim, but also very rough, but it has great practical value for a period of folk life. However, in modern works of art, ceramic art has become a unique art form. Through the study of its texture, it fully embodies the unique simple and naive style of folk art.

Oil painting art embodies the meaning of folk art.

The value of a work includes its social value, historical value, aesthetic value, cultural value and artistic value. The promotion of the value of works comes from many aspects, but the cultural connotation of works can best reflect its value. The value of China's contemporary oil painting depends on whether it can represent the national culture of China. Many folk arts are closely related to fairy tales, so its basic framework shows strong implication and imagination. The main feature of folk art is to construct objects through images, express feelings through the expression of the soul, and express their feelings in the description of objects. It is precisely because of this feature that its various forms exist. As for folk modeling in folk art, it shows a specific thinking because it is divorced from the original objective form. In addition, it also adopts the modeling norms of mutual penetration, transcendence of time and space, association and synaesthesia, which shows its specific logical thinking. Folk art not only embodies the image, but also fully demonstrates the rationality of its modeling participation. In China, some artists create oil paintings in this way. In particular, Cao Li's works combine different ways of existence in folk art, and he absorbed a lot of traditional elements in folk art to express his true feelings. For example, his masterpiece The Olive Tree in the Distance, based on the distorted description of the objective form, shows the concrete transmission process of this information through the symbolic use of images such as pigeons and flowers, which not only represents the messenger of peace, but also represents the life that human beings expect, and even more is the helpless memory of the original life. Although the picture describes the actual living conditions of contemporary people, it can show an emotion, that is, the infinite yearning for the simple life on the vast grassland. The substance described in the works is still an objective form, but its form has changed to some extent on the premise of objective form. The deformation it makes belongs to the deformation on the basis of consciousness, absorbs the implication and imagination of folk art, and also connects the objective form with its own thinking. Oil painting art inherits the philosophy of Yin-Yang and Five Elements in folk art..

Often it is not only the tradition that infiltrates the accumulation of folk art, but also the spirit nurtured by the times, which embodies the contemporary nature of oil painting art and makes the contemporary oil painting art in China more dynamic. From the beginning of its formation, folk art should not only inherit and apply the original ideas and concepts, but also pay attention to the dialectical materialism philosophy's recognition of life in its development process. In ancient China? Harmony between man and nature? Thought is a spiritual force produced by human beings in constant coordination with nature in the long-term development. Dialectical philosophy system and folk art with Yin-Yang and Five Elements as the main body, whether it is the images related to marriage and childbirth or their image combination, belong to the symbolic images of Yin-Yang philosophy. With regard to Yin-Yang and Five Elements, the commonly used five elements have become the main rules of color and modeling in folk art, which are widely circulated among the people. The sharp contrast is the so-called yin-yang contrast, such as the contrast between black and white, which can be called yin-yang color. The concept of yin and yang belongs to the main idea of philosophy, which has been deeply rooted in the minds of our people. Even in modern art, we can easily find the shadow of this philosophical thought. In the process of applying this ideology, some artists don't show it directly, but show it in other ways, and the expression is very implicit. However, many artists have directly applied this concept, including Zhang. He combined the ideas of Yin-Yang and Five Elements, and boldly combined them with symbolic colors in folk art, mainly including black and white and blue, yellow and red. In his works "The Gate of Shaoyang" and "The Promise II", many material forms are deformed to some extent, and Yin and Yang, the sun and the moon are transformed into each other. On the basis of the active use of traditional symbolic images, modern ideas are linked with the original folk art style, resulting in exquisite and gorgeous pictures. These symbols and conceptual arts, which are divorced from the real natural form, come from the people and fully show the profound heritage of folk customs and primitive culture, and are the cultural roots and attributes of a nation.

The art of oil painting embodies the original functional significance in folk art.

Because the formation and development of folk art are closely related to folk activities, it has always retained its original significance in its circulation. Besides being a work of art, more importantly, it has great practical value. These folk arts that have been preserved to this day fully show the primitive nature of human beings and their unremitting pursuit of survival and reproduction. In the process of oil painting creation, a large number of artists began to re-study the primitive nature of human beings and actively revealed the disadvantages of industrialized society and its serious impact on human survival. These artists not only explored the artistic methods preserved to this day from a single angle, but also reflected many current social phenomena in depth and ideology, and showed the harmony between primitive nature and human beings, which was a profound reflection on traditional culture. Due to the continuous development and progress of history, the traditional culture and art of our nation are changing with each passing day. However, in some remote areas, its original ideas and concepts have been well preserved. It is the precious spiritual wealth of the whole nation, permeated with knowledge of astronomy, geography, faith, literature and art, philosophy and history. In China, folk art has various forms and rich contents. Because of its primitive form and thinking form, it can describe the innocence of human childhood and turn human beings into? Inherent personality? Show it and make it last forever. At present, art is an art that constantly reproduces human childhood. On the basis of exploring and simulating folk and primitive art, it reproduces the natural nature of human beings. For example, ceramics, paper cutting, stone carving, New Year pictures, statues and so on. , never divorced from the original cultural concept, has been associated with it. Although there are slight changes in form, what it wants to express is repeated. It is practical and provides nutrition for people's spirit. For example, Wang Yidong's Silent Snow and Lucky Day fully combine the dyeing and paper-cutting arts in folk art. These arts are mainly manifested in folk patterns of survival, reproduction, blessing or auspiciousness. When they appear in the picture and are associated with the original wedding scene, their meaning is further strengthened. Luo Zhongli is the most prominent in pursuing the constant reappearance of the same theme of folk art, and his works describe primitive human nature most directly and profoundly. For example, regarding the works "Busy Farming Season" and "Mother and Son", through freehand modeling, many fertility goddesses are emphatically described, and they are symbols of Mother Earth. Through this description, the worship of primitive reproduction is fully demonstrated. As for the description of the nearby environment, it also quotes the actual folk life scene, showing a simple life interest and coordination with the nearby environment. In the process of drawing lessons from folk art, artists often adopt a primitive way of expression, which also reflects the eager pursuit of modern people to return to nature.

Four conclusions

Although contemporary art and folk art are different in artistic field, they still have some characteristics, mainly reflected in the expression of color and philosophical thoughts. In addition, they all pay more attention to the simplicity, generalization and simplicity of artistic expression. Compared with other arts, there is much more communication and infiltration between them. When imitating folk art, contemporary art should not only absorb the essence of its aesthetic logic thinking, modeling and vision for artistic creation, but also actively explore its deep meaning and actively promote its integration with traditional culture to show its unremitting pursuit of the prosperity of human life.
