The reason why fishermen paint.

Because fishermen's painters love their island and their work and life, they take the sea as the driving force, associate with their own environment and life in their creation, and express their simple thoughts and feelings with vivid thinking. Starting from the real image of objective things, they are bold and creative, bold and exaggerated, with strange ideas and rich imagination. They use brushes to reveal their true feelings about life and their deep attachment to the sea, and their works exude a strong "fishy smell". These works of art full of marine flavor have distinct regional characteristics and life flavor. For example, many fishing nets, seagulls and marine animals can be painted on fish. These things are cleverly combined and interwoven into a shape with folk characteristics, and the form is very novel. Another example is that fishermen need many tools to catch fish and crabs. Fisherman painters can interweave the characteristics of different times, different spaces, different viewpoints and various objects, and can also paint all the things they are interested in in in one picture, so that the picture has great living capacity. There is no limit to modeling, bold imagination, bold deformation and bold exaggeration. They often focus on their own feelings and can look up, down, up and side in the same picture as needed, which constitutes the unique modeling mode of Zhoushan fishermen's paintings.
