Among 21-century artists,female artists gradually arouse people's concern;although their space is still very small,it is delighting.Women are emotional yet sincere.Their inherent maternal complex and sensitive intuition form a beautiful scenery in female painting.
I also used to feel confused among the male dominated artists community.Under the working pressure in the Association,I still have to keep art creation.I should bear all the pressure all by myself…now I take dedication as a delight and painting as an enjoyment.When I am depicting on the canvas,I really feel it is a catharsis of my emotions as well as an enjoyment of my spirits;it is my private world.The women’s nature keeps me yearning for a beautiful life and I like expressing such yearning in my paintings,a little distressed,quiet thinking…
I like thinking independently.I always think how to paint.I like lyrical expression,warm affections and bright colors in Cassatt’s painting.I also like the symphonic color combos in Vladimir Junior’s painting…but I always believe that the way of painting varied with different painters.I insist in pursuing my own style.Over all these years,I have been used to decorative colors to fill in my canvas.With regard to subjects,I always like presenting urban women because I am familiar with urban life.I like the tempo,the clamor and various looks in the city.I have inexhaustible materials for painting here.
There are many scenes worth recording.Walking in busy streets with peers,whispering in cafes,girls resting at shopping plaza,an outing in a sunny day,urban scenery in the moonlight…all pass you by hastily.To capture the moments of life,record the contents of life and feel the meaning of life can all enclose the feeling and understanding of contemporary artists.
Tang Mingzhen’s oil painting Urban Forest·Wall·Girl 178X97cm
While painting Urban Forest•Wall•Girl,I integrated my own feelings of life into the work.In the painting,a gentle girl is standing against a wall at a corner of the forest of high buildings in the city.A beam of light from left side of the wall was shining in the beautiful face of the girl.The girl’s staring eyes and white dress,rough wall surface,cool color tone and vertical composition all tell the living space of urban residents.In my another oil painting Memory Of Autumn,I set the background with golden color of autumn.The warm grey shadow of the trunk suggests the mottled memory of the woman.The woman’s warm-colored stripe dress and red skirt,together with the yellow background form a warm and harmonious color combo.The painting contains my emotional color.I hope the woman’s memory can be as romantic and beautiful as golden autumn.
Tang Mingzhen’s oil painting Memory Of Autumn 130X97cm
Female’s instinct of loving beauty gives female artists keen feeling towards colors.I like the fervent or cold color combos in the painting.The colors conveys female’s rich emotions and pursuit for beauty.
I often think quietly in deep nights.What is my life philosophy?What’s the value of my life?Can my though catch the pace with the times…but cannot find complete answers.Then just move forward with the times.
Although I have lived for tens of years,the future still tempts a lot.I feel it is a completely new world ahead.I can keep pace with the times only by enriching myself continuously to reach the vibrant new world.I would like to improve myself in the life and enjoy the free space of painting with female’s emotions and sincerity.
