Elegant Temperament with Pure Heart

-- Appreciation of Yingrong Pan’s Oil Painting

Nowadays, with fast pace of the society, the spirit gradually decayed within the increasingly rich material. The fine art works can certainly play the role of "Chicken Soup for the Soul", and provide us with some comfort.

Art appreciation and collection satisfy people’s high level of spiritual needs. And Yingrong Pan, a female painter, is the one whose paintings provide us with great artistic enjoyment.

Yingrong's paintings make me thinking of Balthus and Morandi. Maybe she was influenced by them more or less. But she is she. After all, she has her own perspective of vision to see the world, and she also has her own art concept and technique of expression.

Her paintings are simple, pure and elegant. No matter it is still life or landscape, you can fine the composition is exquisite, and sometimes even bolder. You can catch an air of tranquility and beauty, and a kind of leisurely mood from the color arrangment. At the same time, we can obviously feel the pure and mellow feminine temperament in her paintings.

Yingrong is sentimental, but also naturally optimistic on the other hand,because she is full of passion for painting. She only paints what she interested in, especially something small and plain. There are few animals and characters appear in her landscape, because she likes pure expression and embody people’s activities and time by scenery’s change. So she has unique perspective and understanding on houses, barracks and even flowers and grasses. Her fine paintings reflect her pure heart, because she use her pure eyes to read this physical world.

She doesn't like use too much decoration in painting.She always omit many things to make the painting clean and pure. She only believes in what she saw and then imagines freely. Perhaps, you will find some immatureness technically. However, comparing to the hundreds ones who show off their paintings by skills but without deep meaning, Yingrong is rare and pure, and this is her most valuable character. A lot of painters don't understand what they are painting even in the whole life. They ignored the spiritual feeling, but indulge in the state of habits and consciousness assimilated. Not like them, Yingrong follows her independent feelings, will, thinking and judging, which beyond the limitation of manifestation and skills, and expresses how she feels and what she wants by understanding the true essence of the art.

As a talented woman painter, the color relations and composition are just perfect in her works. What interests me most is that, her paintings are not only embody the reality or some kind of abreaction of emotions and ideas, but also show us the the traditional aesthetic interest and character of “the painting is the mind” by pure experience of visual art.

The artist who absorbs the art expression into his own life-style is very lucky. And only the one who is completely immersed in the kingdom of art can gain such luck but also loneliness in another perspective. And as a free oil painter, Yingrong Pan, is just the few one.
