Analyzing the Inspiration of ink wash forms on the language of local oil painting creation

Abstract

Ink wash painting, as the primary form of traditional Chinese painting, embodies profound cultural connotations and exerts a significant influence on contemporary artistic creation. As a traditional Western art form, oil painting was introduced to China and subsequently adapted by numerous artists. Through the fusion of ink wash painting and oil painting techniques, the expressive characteristics of Chinese freehand brushwork were integrated with the realistic style of oil painting. This integration has enriched the expressive language of contemporary local oil painting, endowing it with regionalized features and promoting continuous development in the field of modern painting. This paper provides an overview of the "localization" process of oil painting in China, analyzes the intrinsic connections and creative differences between ink wash painting and oil painting, and examines the influence of ink wash forms on local oil painting creation through the lens of specific works.
