Chinese oil paintings in the new century, the first face today is the prominent problems brought about by globalization and cultural convergence trend. As a result of the powerful countries in the material and spiritual and cultural products of Western culture caused extensive expansion across the globe, making the country vulnerable after a long history of practice in the formation of culture and cultural patterns and digestion by the exclusion, character and spirit of the pursuit of cultural erosion and assimilation , culture and vitality of living space is gradually lost. At present countries people are from this culture have been created by the convergence of trends has been a single culture is a worldwide cultural crisis, because in the process of economic globalization, the need for regional balance of the diverse culture of human diversity spiritual needs. Maintain and develop regional culture in the era of globalization is important.

Specific to the Chinese oil paintings from the original that is, the West, the school in the West rather than the art of native species, how to face the new situation? How to establish their own art direction? This can not fail to note the two is not new, but in the new situation has highlighted the relevance and role of academic issues, and that is painting the “national character” and “modern” problems.

“National character” is an old has already put forward, from the early days of the introduction of oil painting on people’s attention and discussion. With the localization process of oil painting, China oil painting home painting continuously for how China’s national spirit and national characteristics and strive to explore, after a century of study and practice of creating side has made some positive achievements, these achievements in the early prominent is the medium-term emphasis on the latter subject matter more than content to focus on the exploration of language performance, the results of these should be fully affirmed. However, as the pattern in the world of art to be of Chinese oil paintings with the national character and artistic level of this requirement, there is still a considerable gap. Overall the composition is more than learning, and create less ingredient, more than the characteristics of the West, the Chinese characteristics of small, independent with Chinese characteristics and create a dominant position has not yet formed. Of course, this from the West to the East, from the spirit of the character, content and form of all-round transformation process is not a simple problem that requires a corresponding artists accomplishment enough, the current home of the majority of oil paintings of traditional arts and culture is still not enough depth, the lack of effective research and understanding, in his works often confined to the surface of the traditional symbolic images to copy and interpretation by the inherent lack of a culture of creativity, spirit and more. Nationality issues need further exploration and a more perfect embodiment of the subject has yet to be in the new century, we continue to work hard. It not only affects the culture of the domestic construction, particularly in cultural exchange and competition from the global point of view is even more important, it relates to the international art platform independent Chinese oil paintings to establish the identity and image with the achievements and contributions to world culture.

To this end, China’s oil paintings at home must be a serious depth to the outstanding national study traditional arts, but also the essence of the spirit from the traditional culture and traditional cultural resources to draw nutrition, in order to create a more distinctive style of Chinese folk art and Chinese nation characteristics of Chinese oil paintings art.

The problem of modernity, for us, is the artistic pulse of the times and how to reflect the flavor of the times, and how to have a modern artistic language problems. However, because of modern Western art in the global expansion and influence to how to deal with the problem of modern Western art (including the post-modern art, contemporary art) has become the most prominent problem, in fact, this is an old problem. Introduced in the early oil paintings, reflected on this issue, a number of senior artists to actively promote the Modernist Painting in Western Europe was also controversial, but because of the historical conditions at that time not been limited by the development of modern art in China really 80 start is the mid-20th century, although now is not long lasting but the rapid progress, and today has been synchronized with the West. Of this situation there is controversy in the arts, in particular the recent, as the concept of performing arts so that conflicts of the Chinese modern art has become the status quo and direction of the core of common concern.

It should be said that the choice of Chinese oil paintings at home is difficult business, home oil painting is different from the West and China, the country artist, he must have both the advantages of both and can not be the same, so he must be able to boldly carry forward the spirit of innovation , director of integration between the two, and strive to create a contains a new oil paintings of Chinese and Western characteristics results. To this end, we in addition to the above-mentioned problems, also have to go to the country’s social life, and practical experience and the pulse of real life experience in order to gain the perception of artistic creation. At the same time, the current world in the face of the multiple contradictions collide with each other, can identify one another and backward progress and positive and negative, advanced and decadent, so there is absorbed and exclusion, there is integration and struggle, in the lessons and all other countries of their outstanding cultural achievements at the same time, create reflects the direction of advanced culture, with distinctive Chinese national characteristics and the progress of the times full of spirit “toward modernization, the world and facing the future” Art of Chinese oil paintings. This is our family’s Contemporary Chinese Oil Paintings goal is a glorious historical mission.

New era was put to us, but also a new era, we need to solve these problems, we should live in such a need to maximize our talent, to maximize the creative spirit of the times are happy and glorious. Just as President Jiang Zemin said, our time is “to achieve the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation’s era of the great literary and artistic works is the need of times, it was capable of producing great literary works of the era.” Well, let the great literary works produced in our hands now!
