The basic expression procedure of peasant painting

There is a saying: Only the national is the world, and the peasant paintings in China, known as "Oriental Picasso", belong to this category. Farmers' paintings, which are characterized by rich flavor of life, naive and simple painting style and positive and optimistic emotions, have reached a completely different artistic realm from professional painters' works. Compared with academic painting, peasant painting is simple, frank and rich, which can better represent the spirit of the times. According to relevant data, there are now more than 50 peasant painting townships in the country with districts and counties as units, and the peasant painting creation team has more than 10 million people. Huxian in Shaanxi, Luochuan, Ansai, Yanchuan, Jinshan in Shanghai, Dongfeng in Jilin and Shengxian in Zhejiang are all places where peasant paintings are very brilliant. In many peasant painting towns, peasant painting is not only a way to express the emotional and spiritual demands of contemporary farmers, but also a means to create economic value and get rich.

Peasant painting, as its name implies, is peasant painting. Folk peasant painters are mostly peasant women. They paint their lives and decorate their homes with brushes after work. Therefore, modern peasant paintings are mostly evolved from peasant kang paintings, pot table paintings and frame paintings, and are native folk arts. Peasant paintings pay attention to decoration, color effect and strong visual impression.

Peasant paintings are characterized by fantastic composition, rich imagination, bold techniques and obvious color effects. Among them, Ansai peasant paintings have also participated in the "French Independent Salon Art Exhibition" and have been exhibited in the United States, Japan, Germany, Austria, the Philippines and other countries, and are known as "Oriental Picasso".

Compared with the traditional oriental freehand brushwork ink painting, the peasant painting originated from the folk is very realistic and has an exaggerated and bizarre imagination. Realistic modeling is often exaggerated and has strong colors. For example, chickens and phoenixes are all colorful, and animals such as donkeys, cows and horses are endowed with bright colors. Strong colors are the release of the enthusiasm of folk artists, from which we feel the irresistible primitive beauty of life.
