Appreciation of Body Art Paintings

As a highlight of this century, body painting has attracted more and more attention. Is body painting avant-garde tradition or weird? Is it a commercial act or an artistic choice? I believe everyone will have their own understanding and opinions. Because human body painting is human body art after all, and it is naked human body after all. Therefore, body painting, like other art forms, can be divided into refined and popular, advanced and backward, healthy and decadent from motivation, purpose, form and performance. This requires us to distinguish levels, analyze rationally, and discriminate in theory and practice.

There seems to be no clear line between art and pornography, which is difficult to distinguish; Some people use exaggerated methods to induce the audience, which can be seen in their works. Art or pornography depends on the artist's aesthetic orientation and artistic accomplishment. Artists must conform to the bottom line of morality and ethics when pursuing artistic value. A good human body painting with artistic value must be created with a rigorous creative attitude, with healthy content, elegant style, purity and seriousness, high artistic pursuit, only for the purpose of pursuing the highest realm, with the responsibility of improving the artistic accomplishment of the public, with profound and rich humanistic connotation and vitality, fully embodying the author's wisdom and talent, making the audience feel the exquisite art and the beauty of the human body, and giving people beautiful aesthetic pleasure, rather than.

In any century and any country, the creative motivation and appreciation angle of body painting should be based on "perceptual aesthetics". Different times, different cultures, different places, different creative motives, different creators and different audiences all have different aesthetic feelings. From the audience's point of view, some works recognized as art are pornographic to some viewers. In an interview with the media at the Hong Kong Book Fair, Mr. Pang Guohua said: Artists can only grasp it well. As Mr. Lu Xun said, the same Dream of Red Mansions is "the scholar sees the easy, the Tao sees the lewdness, the talented person sees the lingering, the revolutionary sees the full line, and the gossip sees the secret things in the palace".
