What is the development trend and current situation of contemporary oil painting in China?

In the hundred-year history of China's oil painting, through the pioneering, accumulation and promotion of several generations of painters, realistic painting has made remarkable achievements. Realistic oil painting has always been the mainstream of China's oil painting and occupies an important position in the history of China's oil painting development. Under the background of economic integration, information globalization and cultural diversification in the world today, oil painting art is experiencing a fierce collision between old and new values, old and new ways of thinking and old and new cultural concepts. While expanding the field of artistic development and producing artists' creative talents, there are also many puzzles in painting concepts and artistic practice. Today, we are working hard to create China oil paintings with China characteristics, the spirit of the times and personal characteristics, consciously build China oil painting school, and strive to make contributions to world art. There are many artists engaged in realistic oil paintings in China, with a wide range of art lovers and collections. However, from an academic point of view, the development of realistic oil painting in China still has a lot to study. For example, the definition of the concept of realistic oil painting, the painting function and realistic way of realistic oil painting, the problems of humanistic character and spiritual quality in realistic oil painting, and the problems of realistic oil painting and reflecting social real life are all worthy of our in-depth discussion.
