How is the space processing method of Chinese painting different from that of Western classical oil painting?

The methods are as follows (Chinese painting on the left, Western classical oil painting on the right): 1. The expression methods are different, China uses scatter point style, and the West uses perspective.

The expression of Chinese painting has its national traditional characteristics.

In terms of perspective performance, he has his own special processing method. He not only follows the basic principles and laws of perspective, but does not stick to the general rules and laws.

That is to say, the painter can break the visual field of focus perspective to capture the scenery according to his own creative intention, so that the content expressed in the picture is more comprehensive and vivid.

This is the scattered point perspective method of Chinese painting.

From the perspective of artistic expression, after getting rid of the shackles of scientific rationality, scatter-point perspective has a more unique artistic space expression and leaves more artistic space for painters and appreciators to browse.

This is one of the characteristics of Eastern painting.

Western traditional painting is different from traditional Chinese painting. It is characterized by the pursuit of objective rationality, the true and ideal representation of objects, and the revelation of visual reality.

The development trajectory from Renaissance classical painting to Baroque painting, realism, neoclassicism, romantic painting, and then to impressionism painting has formed the performance characteristics of mainly reproducing real space, and truly reproducing

Real space serves as the purpose of painting expression.

2. The philosophical views of space processing are different. China is based on the idea of ??unity of nature and man, while the West is based on the theory of imitation.

The fundamental difference in space creation between Chinese and Western paintings lies in the different thoughts and philosophical views of Chinese and Western painters.

Western painters use and rely on color, light, and perspective when describing landscapes to create true nature.

The birth of the philosophical concept of "imitation theory" became the basis for the creation and development of Western realistic painting.

Chinese painters understand the world based on the philosophical view of "harmony between man and nature" in Lao and Zhuang's thoughts, and use this as an ideological basis to create art.

3. The expression techniques are different. The West tends to be more delicate and realistic, while the Chinese are more freehand.

Western oil paintings, like the shapes of Western figures, inherit the unique characteristics of the West, that is, a strong three-dimensional sense of space.

Oil painting has a very high pursuit of the spatial level of objects. The angle of the painter, the size, height, distance and light of the environment, and even the reflection and refraction of the object on the surrounding environment, etc., are all required to be delicately expressed.

, which is also a realistic expression of oil painting.

The pursuit of spatial hierarchy in oil paintings is based on inviolable scientific theories, just as everything in the world has its own unchangeable and irreplaceable laws.

For example, objects are visually larger when they are near and smaller when they are far away; for example, if a reflective object is placed on the table, it can not only reflect the surrounding environment, but also project itself on the table.

In terms of spatial level, the pursuit of perspective in traditional Chinese painting is often based on the principle of "scattered perspective", that is, the principle of "far and near method".

Traditional Chinese paintings often use "scattered perspective" in expressing natural scenery. Green mountains, green water, birds, green plants, colorful flowers and figures in natural scenery rarely follow the scientific principles of "near large, far small" and "near bright".

The perspective principle of "far and dark" gives people the impression of a random painting, with characters out of proportion, the center of the picture unable to be found, and a lack of layering.

Extended information: Exchanges between Chinese painting and Western classical oil painting: With the advancement and evolution of the internationalization of society, academic and cultural exchanges between my country and Western countries have become increasingly closer.

Oil painting technique is a new painting technique for China; traditional Chinese painting is also a brand-new painting technique for Western countries.

In order to promote the continuous improvement and innovation of painting technology, countries should teach each other modestly.

However, oil painting and traditional Chinese painting belong to two different art cultures. In the process of harmonious integration, scientific principles and visual beauty must be adhered to.

Artistic attempts at painting techniques can achieve the purpose of innovation, but arbitrary use will have counterproductive effects.
