Contemporary Textured Figurative Painting - Water Series No.2
Located in Beijing, CN
textured Figurative painting- Water Series No.2 by He Wenjue
Dimension : 30 x 20cm
Material :oil on canvas
Date: 2009
About Water Series
He Wenjue grew up in Hunan province, China, where the tributaries of the Xiangjiang River surround almost every town. Water nurtures life, and life creates prosperity and hope. In the late 1990s, He Wenjue began to paint inspired by the theme of water, initially prompted by its natural beauty and liquidity.
Unlike David Hockney’s renowned pool portrait series, He Wenjue’s paintings display endless expanse of water. Although the surface of water reflects the intense blue colour of the sky, it does not conceal the energy of the water flow: the combination of blue and black makes the water surface look like a strong magnetic black hole. This image generates in the viewers a feeling of anxiety and concern for the swimmers.
Even though the combative swimmers, depicted by He Wenjue with reference to Lucian Freud’s expressive style, are carried away by the waves and look pale and weak, however, their naked bodies, still illuminated by an obsidian light, rise and fall between the waves.
For He Wenjue, water is a symbol of any kind of living space: the dynamism of the water surface and the unstable nature of the water represent the instability of society in a universal sense, while the swimmers who strive forward represent the individuals who face many difficulties when they are looking for their own place and making every effort to pursue freedom.
About the artist:
He Wenjue was born in 1970 in Hunan Province, China. He received his MA in painting from Jilin Academy of Fine Arts. Member of Chinese Art Association, Member of Chinese Painting Association.The vice-President of Hunan Oil-Painting Association. Research Fellow of Beijing Academy of China Xieyi Oil Painting.He is currently the vice president of Hunan Oil Painting Society, a member of China Artists Association and a member of Chinese Oil Painting Society.
His works have been displayed on exhibitions at“Scenery in Map”ShangHai Solo Exhibition、Solo Exhibition, Frank Schlag Gallery, Essen, Germany、Sense of the Sparkle: He Wenjue Singapore Solo Exhibition, Singapore、Water: Senses of Sparkle, Tang Gallery, Bangkok, Thailand、The 9th & The 10th National Annual Fine Arts Exhibition、The first Chinese Freehand Brushwork Oil Painting、4th Jakarta Contemporary Ceramics Biennale, 6th BICMA ,、Painting the Present, Certosa di San Giacomo, Via Certosa 1 - Capri, Capri, Italy、The 2nd Chinese Oil Painting Biennale, The National Art Museum of China、The Xinjiang International Art Biennial 2014、Ethics as the DNA Art: The 9th Florence Biennale、SEA OF PEACE: Japan-Korea Contemporary Art Exhibition, Incheon Art Platform, Incheon, Korea、Faces and Figures, Germany、East side, Michael Schultz Gallery, Berlin, Germany、Vanhaerents Museum Collection, Brussel Belgium、China...

Figurative Paintings for Sale
Figurative art, as opposed to abstract art, retains features from the observable world in its representational depictions of subject matter. Most commonly, figurative paintings reference and explore the human body, but they can also include landscapes, architecture, plants and animals — all portrayed with realism.
While the oldest figurative art dates back tens of thousands of years to cave wall paintings, figurative works made from observation became especially prominent in the early Renaissance. Artists like Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and other Renaissance masters created naturalistic representations of their subjects.
Pablo Picasso is lauded for laying the foundation for modern figurative art in the 1920s. Although abstracted, this work held a strong connection to representing people and other subjects. Other famous figurative artists include Francis Bacon and Lucian Freud. Figurative art in the 20th century would span such diverse genres as Expressionism, Pop art and Surrealism.
Today, a number of figural artists — such as Sedrick Huckaby, Daisy Patton and Eileen Cooper — are making art that uses the human body as its subject.
Because figurative art represents subjects from the real world, natural colors are common in these paintings. A piece of figurative art can be an exciting starting point for setting a tone and creating a color palette in a room.
