Artists Zhao Guojing (赵国经) and Wang Meifang (王美芳)'s Paintings
Zhao Guojing is a Contemporary Chinese artist. He was born in Jingxian County, Hebei Province, in 1950, and graduated in 1976 from the Tianjin Academy of Arts. Gongbi style portraiture is the artist's favored genre. His art has won several national prizes, and his paintings are frequently sold at auction.
Chinese females in gorgeous Chinese gowns appear frequently in Zhao Guojing's paintings, which are very similar to traditional Chinese portraiture ren-wu in terms of mood and technique. Their hair is nicely groomed, their hairstyles are adorned with exquisite jewelry, and the girls' forms are harmoniously etched in the natural sceneries that surround them. Zhao Guojing's paintings are frequently set in parks, gazebos, forests, or ponds filled with luscious flowers or trees.
Little bridges, a small mist on the pond's surface, the pale light of the fading moon - all of these scenes contribute to a unique poetic ambiance. The heroines in his paintings are tranquil and romantic, apart from the hustle of modern civilisation. The artist's purpose is not only to preserve beauty, which he believes is always relative, but also to remind people how vital it is to notice and feel the poetry of life even in the midst of daily problems and troubles.
Zhao Guojing's paintings are an attempt to reassess conventional aesthetic themes through the lens of modernity, giving the female portrait not just form but also meaning. The artist frequently employs classical motifs such as lotuses, peonies, pine trees, and other songbirds to transport the Chinese audience back in time. The figures, however, do not resemble chubby ladies from Tang paintings, nor do they have the elegance of female representations from the Ming and Qing centuries - they have their own particular appeal, they are alive individuals, and not simply lovely, but soulless images. Several of Zhao Guojing's works
Works were created in collaboration with his colleague and wife, artist Wang Meifang. These paintings are distinguished by the precision of their lines, the harshness of their shapes, and the beauty of their color arrangement. Wang Meifang believes that the beauty represented in images and characters is nothing more than the artist's passion for beauty.
