Lin Mao, President of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, Delivered a Speech
Lin Mao stated that over the past twenty years, the "Chinese Realist Painting School" has gathered more than thirty representative artists with strong capabilities in China, and numerous outstanding and classic artworks have continuously emerged. The goal of the establishment of the "Chinese Realist Painting School" is to establish a high-standard Chinese contemporary realistic oil painting. It respects traditional culture, emphasizes the humanistic and rational spirit, and pursues the perfect quality of paintings. Upholding this concept, the "Chinese Realist Painting School" closely follows the changes and development of contemporary society, constantly enriches its language forms, adapts to new social aesthetic needs, examines life and nature from an Eastern perspective, and proves the eternal value of realism in terms of rationality, morality, and aesthetics through persistent artistic practice. Moreover, it has made outstanding contributions to the creation of theme paintings in the new era, demonstrating broad development prospects and vigorous vitality.
Yang Feiyun, one of the founders of the Chinese Realist Painting School and the Dean of the Chinese Oil Painting
Institute of the Chinese National Academy of Arts, delivered a speech.
Yang Feiyun believes that realism is not the goal of realistic painting, nor is it the end of painting. Realism is an irreplaceable expressive force and a highly vital carrier of painting language. In this era of images, although some social functions have been taken over by images, the spiritual aesthetic function of figurative painting is irreplaceable. The Chinese Realist Painting School insists on using figurative visual art to observe the spiritual world of contemporary society. In the multi-dimensional pattern of contemporary art, it retains an irreplaceable territory of expression. He expressed gratitude to all sectors of society and academic peers for their attention, support, encouragement, and criticism over the years. He also stated that he will use high-quality painting language to depict the Chinese people well, and represent Chinese aesthetics, Chinese emotions, and Chinese spirit.
Jin Jun, the curator of the Art Museum of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, delivered a speech.
Jin Jun mentioned that the Realist Painting School is an important art group representing the achievements of oil painting language in the new era. Since its establishment, it has been active in the Chinese art circle for 20 years. With their exquisite skills and profound insights, and a humanistic sentiment of cherishing life and paying attention to reality, the artists have presented their delicate and rich observations of the world accurately and artistically.
At the same time, the Art Museum of the Central Academy of Fine Arts is renowned for its rich and diverse collections. The permanent exhibition of the museum's collections, the section on modern Chinese art, showcases many classic representative works of realistic oil paintings that mark important nodes in the development of modern Chinese art. The holding of this exhibition precisely forms a beneficial dialogue with the historical collections of the museum, allowing the audience to more intuitively feel the close connection between the Realist Painting School and the inheritance and development of Chinese realistic oil painting.
Gao Gao, the deputy curator of the art museum, served as the host.
The Chinese Realist Painting School has gathered representative artists with strong capabilities in China. Upholding traditions and being brave in innovation, it has won extensive attention and support from all sectors of society and has become a distinct banner in the Chinese oil painting field. The display of classic works in this exhibition is the best testament to the artists' tireless pursuit of excellence.
The exhibition will last until January 5th, 2025.
