When facing Zhang Jishuang's works, even if you don't understand oil painting, you will be deeply attracted. The uniqueness of Zhang Jishuang's works lies in the fact that they cross the usual mode of traditional realistic painting, and explore a path of their own artistic outlook in integrating the traditional techniques of oil painting and the freehand tradition of Chinese character painting.
Zhang Jishuang's painting style combines elements of realism and romanticism to form a poetic painting language with a unique personal outlook. He is a realist with romantic feelings, and his works exude a strong sense of life, and the atmosphere of peace and tranquility that permeates it is particularly moving.
Zhang Jishuang's works pursue a kind of narrative and documentary, and the narrative of these works does not focus on the plot, but on the authentic reproduction of the scene as an aesthetic pursuit. He focuses on imperfect images, capturing the most authentic expressions of humanity in the random or accidental expressions and movements of those subjects. And this kind of accident is not limited to the original state of the object, in the language of oil painting, he also reacts this kind of randomness and chance to the brushstrokes and the management of form and color. In terms of the treatment of the shape and color of the figures, the painter pursues a kind of sketch-style pleasure, and the vivid spirit and action of the characters on the picture all benefit from this sketch-style delineation, which cannot be obtained by sketching in the studio. The oil paint of his paintings is very transparent, and the free and free brushwork characteristics are fully mobilized, showing the casual and flexible expression of the heart in the shaping of the shapes and colors. Obviously, this casual sketch-style oil painting language is integrated with his pursuit of the image tension of the scene, and it is the original beauty that he pursues without designing the figure and de-subjectively embellishing.
Zhang Jishuang's oil painting skills are gradually maturing, with freehand in sensibility, calligraphy and realism, and the picture is rich in layers and full of colors, showing the unique artistic charm of oil painting. In terms of subject matter, from the early depiction of military life, to the later herdsman theme and thematic creation, Zhang Jishuang is trying to find his own way of expression, and constantly doing various experiments and explorations.
Zhang Jishuang is well aware that as an artist, in addition to a certain artistic talent, he also needs to have a certain cultural and artistic accomplishment, including thinking about life and society, as well as a wide range of knowledge in natural sciences and social sciences. He is now making arduous efforts in two aspects: deeply understanding the spirit and character of art in the practice of oil painting skills, and striving to be a qualified, idealistic, and individualistic naturalistic realistic artist; Strive to learn from the experience of predecessors and contemporary artists, absorb a wide range of knowledge in sociology and natural science, and improve their perception and creativity in life and art.
