The exquisite revival of aesthetic essence — Exploring Wang Xijing’s portrayal of dance figures – Sun Ke

Wang Xijing is an outstanding contemporary figure painter, who has continuously created unforgettable works for decades. For a figure painter, he has always maintained strong creativity and improved his artistic level through continuous creation and exploration, which is indeed commendable. In the early 1980s, he began to paint historical subjects, And received favourable reviews.

His paintings are broad in subject matter, court figures and even African women and children, full of compassion and love. Not long ago, I saw his paintings of dance figures, unique, extraordinary, both form and spirit, very vivid. After watching the feeling, Wang Xijing’s dance figure works are a great harvest of contemporary figure painting, with distinctive brush and ink colors and outstanding aesthetic feeling, which makes people feel the painter’s painstaking pursuit of artistic beauty. Worthy of attention and research.

This series of dance works embodies the aesthetic pursuit of art, so that the audience can get aesthetic pleasure, noble emotions, and comfortable mood. To achieve the return of the essence of artistic aesthetic spirit. His dance figures series works can highlight the pursuit of aesthetic goals, which is a breakthrough in the style of The Times.

This group of dance figure works of Wang Xijing can be said to inherit the artistic tradition of Mr. Ye Qianyu and have his own style. It is not an exaggeration to say that Wang Xijing’s dance figure art inherits and develops the excellent tradition of modern dance figure painting represented by Ye Qianyu.

In the current Chinese painting art in the face of Western modern art trends, as well as relying on scientific and technological means for fine production of the phenomenon of challenges, Wang Xijing’s art is a very successful answer, We can see that Chinese painting art is not afraid of the wind and rain, and more prosperous.

Looking at Wang Xijing’s paintings, I feel that he has been pursuing the beautiful and dynamic depiction at the same time, and it is rare to grasp the beauty of the dancer’s expression. The expression of spirit is an important aesthetic requirement of Chinese painting, which was made clear from the time of Gu Kaizhi. The expression of spirit should include the spiritual interest of the work. The original works of Wu Daozi can not be found, but the “Eighty-seven Immortals”, “The Night Revels of Han Xiza” and the portraits of Ming Dynasty collected in Nanjing Museum are clear evidences. Of course, both form and spirit are our requirements for painters. The success of Wang Xijing’s dance figures lies in this.

In terms of artistic expression, this batch of dance works are not only dynamic and flexible, but also very characteristic in terms of ink techniques. It is not too much to describe them with bold and vertical, exaggerated and moderate, dripping ink color and superb techniques. The dances of different nationalities have different styles, different movements, different rhythms, and different costumes, which give him extremely rich room to play.

Those dancing, rotating colored dresses dazzle the viewer, but also give the painter the opportunity to show their skills. This is where Wang Xijing’s painting charm comes into play, combining line with surface, creating virtual reality, shape by meaning, and phase by heart, which is the successful embodiment of the combination of the freehand spirit of pursuing intention and realistic skills in Chinese painting.

Wang Xijing’s dance figure art selects the different dance positions and costumes that are representative of various ethnic groups in China as well as those in Europe, America and Africa. It fully demonstrates the beauty of dance art, and more incisively and vividly plays the skills and charm of Chinese ink art. It is also a valuable harvest of contemporary Chinese painting art.
