Xue Linxing, born in 1951 on the west coast of Qingdao, Shandong Province, graduated from the Fine Arts Department of Northeast Normal University in 1982. He is the first painter in Chinese history to be honored at the -----2005 Salon de la d'Ornée de l'Louvre in Paris, and he is the first painter in Chinese history to have a message of peace inscribed by a number of heads of state on his work "The Beauty of Peace". His paintings take historical and contemporary women as the theme, and create many beautiful images by crossing China and the West, giving people an unparalleled beauty for the eyes and even the soul.
Xu Encun, a famous theorist of calligraphy and painting, commented: "Xue Linxing's works have great originality, and their originality is manifested in the oriental line rhyme and charm as the main line, integrating the western skin expression and subtle ups and downs, and delicate changes in color. The coexistence of human nature and divinity, the charm and the charm of form are integrated, so that the advantages of the East and the West for thousands of years complement each other, and the two great rivers of the East and the West converge. “
Xue Linxing avoided the landscape paintings and flower and bird paintings that everyone was happy to choose, and tried to paint figures alone. He said that there are too many people who paint landscapes, flowers and birds in Chinese history, and he may not be able to surpass them, and there are still many blanks in the history of Chinese painting in the painting of ladies. Xue Linxing has always adhered to his choice and devoted himself to the study of ladies' paintings, and he has a different understanding of ladies. He believes that ladies are not ordinary beauties, they all have their own stories, painting ladies should not only be like, but more importantly, to draw the connotation of the characters, through the characters to reflect the background of the times, such characters are real and can feel vitality.
In Xue Linxing's artworks, we can clearly feel his mental journey of exploring how Chinese freehand figure painting can reform and innovate. His continuous comparison and transposition of Chinese and Western paintings, Chinese and Western cultures, and even his achievements in years of creative practice have established his position as a leading reformer in contemporary Chinese freehand figure painting. Through the process of aesthetics, people can get thinking and enlightenment about contemporary life. It is no wonder that Xue Linxing is unique in the Chinese painting world, and his new painting style of integrating classical beauty and modern beauty is a family of its own, and he is praised as the "Oriental Beauty God" by his peers in the painting circles at home and abroad!
