Talking Color-chenjie xu
Over the past period, I have experimented with various painting techniques and materials to explore the possibilities of different styles and emotional expressions.
In this painting of a rabbit, I primarily employed coloured pencils in a childlike style. The subject was observed in a museum housing numerous small animals, which struck me as particularly whimsical and childlike, prompting me to capture it on paper. While creating the artwork, I did not strive for hyperrealism, but rather sought to preserve that sense of innocence and charm. I used bright colours and simple shapes to convey the emotions I felt upon seeing the little creatures.
When creating this illustration, I opted not for complete realism but instead employed simplified lines and vibrant colours to depict the flower’s form.
Transitioning from photograph to painting taught me the art of selective retention and omission. While the original image contained intricate petal details, I retained only their primary shapes, replacing complex contours with fluid lines. This approach yields a cleaner composition.
Through this process, I came to understand that ‘truth’ need not rely solely on detail; it can equally convey sensation through the interplay of colour and the rhythm of lines.
For this painting, I employed acrylics, simplifying the composition into broad swathes of colour to convey the overall atmosphere.
This illustration aims to convey the vitality and dynamism of plants through exaggerated forms.
