绿色移动 2017

Here we have Wang Xinfu’s 绿色移动, an oil painting made with an all-over approach to applying paint, kind of like frosting a cake. The first thing you notice is the sheer physicality of the paint. It's thick, juicy, and loaded onto the surface with visible strokes, creating a landscape that's less about representation and more about pure sensation. The greens are not just green; they're mixed with yellows, blues, and oranges, creating a vibrant, almost chaotic energy. Look closely at the way the artist renders the sky; it feels less like atmosphere and more like a continuation of the foliage, blurring the lines between earth and sky, reality and abstraction. This painting reminds me a little of Van Gogh's expressive landscapes, but with a contemporary twist. Both artists share a love for thick paint and dynamic brushwork. Wang Xinfu takes it a step further, pushing the boundaries of representation and inviting us to lose ourselves in the sheer materiality of paint.
