Yihui
has actively participated Beijing’s art expositions and become
a regarded young artist in recent years. Just like herself, her
Yihui Oil Paintings always surge the youth vigor and beauty, showing
the thriving force and unique charm. Flower is an important subject
in her painting, along with figure and animal as well, she put
more regards on view and realization of feminine lives when created
the conceptual idea of flower’s words, the paintings were filled
with aura of girl’s room.
Yihui’s
creative motive usually expresses her particular artistic realization
on feminine lives other than many artists. She intends to draw
wide audiences, therefore, she put an emphasis on the popularity
and general interest of all levels by painting’s appearance.
The intention of art and itself is to meet people’s aesthetic
demand, so the conceptual idea in her JianJia series, successfully
established a general visual enjoyment and function of publicity.
For Yihui Oil Painting and its function, the artist needs to resolve
the repetition and popularity of conceptual idea with great deal
of practice. Suppose if the painting is excessively depicting
a frigid and isolated idea, blindly pursuing individual artistic
sentiment, the result certainly will betray the general interests
and the aesthetic faculties, then art work as the spiritual wealth
is difficult to accept, thereby, hardly to implement social faculty
and collection value of Yihui Oil Painting.
Her
works have taken on Chinese delicate poetic forms, the spiritual
connotation of intellectual female, the graceful and meticulous
cultural character, indicates an apotheosis of perfect association
of cultural heritage and Yihui Oil Painting technique, I believe that’s
why she’s adored both by the mass and collectors.
Trace
the origins, I found the important reason was quite related to
her particular growing era. In 1980, Yihui was born in Tianjin,
a well educated (new generation) . Most of the generation lived
in a good condition and fortunate place, not having to reconsider
the history or suffer the sorrow, the excellent condition was
just given by the history and society.
China’s
economy develops in a rapid growth since it opens to the world,
as well as the culture steps into a new stage, the diversity of
culture has developed forward. In the period of 1970s and 1980s,
the coexistent of diverse and traditional culture. Along with
the expanding and increasing demand on culture entertainment,
the tendency on purchasing art works gradually emerged. Either
the depiction (to raise the slender fingers, the charming look
by the table ) by Xia Junna or the work (to enjoy beautiful flowers,
sing by leaning gracefully) by Yihui, all truly reflected the
cultural character of the feminine artists from 1970’s and 1980’s,
we might find out many reasons in the huge cultural field, however,
the most influential reason should be the current social popularity,
the orientation plays an important role in this common customs
of art, the poetic character of art works are fairly similar to
the pop music . Therefore, art works began to cater to the demand
on recreation, she put an emphasis on emotional expression and
visual effect, laid particular stress on life style and feminine
regard. with this cognition, to parse the exertion of conceptual
idea in of Yihui’s flower words, we may find the convictive reply.
I
have no attempt to elaborate the detail of her painting’s appearance
but like to discuss how she associates literature with art on
literal side. Generally reviewing on Yihui’s instinctive exertion
of literal idea in Jianjia series, the depicting subjects include
figure, animal, plant, climate and scene (space). Flower words
are depicting the natural matters, for instance, represent spring,
summer, sunshine and wind of climate; emotion, thought, eyebrow
and face of figure; flower, leaf, cat and dog, lark of plant and
animal; shade, screen and couch in girl’s room. The integrative
exertion of techniques create a girl’s room in which is graceful
and aromatic, melancholy aura. Meanwhile, fill with the parting
sorrow, gentle, elegant and penetrative emotion; as well as a
sort of cosmetics and jewelry. So the slight interest appears
from her beautiful painting at all time. Although it varies from
broad ones, forms a more sensational scene. Well associated of
motion and still is the unique state in Yihui’s Jianjia, she
is not in pursuit of difference and transcendence, but focuses
on painting’s delicate changes, converging and reform, especially
the tiny shift of same idea, that excellent performance can be
seen in her art works, Jianjia – flowing dew in the morning,
Jianjia – close to cloud, Jianjia – meditative autumn.
Yihui’s
works are adored and collected abroad, another character is winning
by goodliness, she employs the repetitive forms of flower words
with esthetical manner, image and conception, to present the fairness
of nature and life, accordingly praise people’s beautiful mind.
In works of Yihui’s, she lays a stress on depicting the flower
and exertion of conceptual techniques, but rare conception on
society and politics; such as, ‘ living with the ignorance of
the world ‘, the conception of world is almost nothing. At the
same time, the further analysis on various conceptions in her
works, we found they are aroused by feeling and flourished by
manner. Thereby, it’s alike a hazy, graceful and sentimental
space which is full of aromatic breeze. The creation of such a
conceptual technique, define the overall sensibility and extending
to small part as well.
She
unifies these elements harmoniously to produces a great deal of
poetic Yihui Oil Paintings. Her painting seemingly appears a sort of
emotional release and depicting subject, in fact, she pins her
hope on it. I recognize that with the source of Chinese traditional
philosophy and the deep influence of graceful poems, she completely
expresses the conception by means of association and reference.
The major idea of Chinese traditional poem is expressing spirit,
however, ‘reason of affection’ is the idea in Yihui’s work.
She gives priority to adopt the subject on regarding people’s
life and experience, it’s just like the returning essence of
literature and the expression of real selfhood. As a result, Yihui’s
flower words formed the unique ‘Cai’ genre, with painting’s
arrangement, technique, color and conception, they allow the paining
more elegant and splendid. You will be hardly tired of seeing
it at the whole or separately. Flower as the subject in paintings
with the feminized and gentle character. Her Jianjia series truly
described the romantic thought of intellectual female. Such a
fresh feminine view delivers a new aesthetic impression which
is changing the similarity of all kinds in current art circle,
we won’t be so tedious of art. Artist fully pours the poetic
character into the paintings, much more close to the individual
sentiment.
Adoring
beauty is human nature. Esthetical art forms are medium to evoke
to people’s emotion, to make the viewer get into the esthetical
enjoyment. Her painting like natural singing poem, fresh and graceful,
lofty Pattern and rhythm, lasting charm and aesthetic feeling.
Anyhow,
principal characters in Yihui’s Jianjia series, aura of girl’s
room, emotional scene, feminine regard, and people’s sensibility,
composing the human connotation. We hope Yihui create works with
enthusiasm at all time, always deliver her aroma like the flower
in the painting.
