A Study Of The Language Of Light And Shadow And The Expression Of Context In Oil Paintings

The language of light and shadow is an important part of oil painting.When objective objects in life are illuminated and influenced by different light,their shadows will also change,thus giving the objects a different form of beauty.The relationship between light and shadow is interdependent and influential,becoming an artistic element that communicates with the painter and the viewer,a unique painting language,and an important form of expression in contemporary oil painting.Context is a central issue in the history of aesthetic research,and is also pursued as an advanced form in the creation of oil paintings.In the creative process,the rational use of the language of light and shadow helps the creator to observe and portray the beauty of life from a new perspective,and then to explore the deep aesthetic experience of painting,so that the mood of the work can be sublimated.This article will discuss the value of light and shade and its role in creating the mood of a painting,starting from the important element of light and shade itself.This paper is divided into the following four parts.Firstly,it elaborates on the concepts related to light and shadow in oil painting and pictorial mood,and examines the connection between light and shadow and pictorial mood.Secondly,it takes the light and shadow paintings of Western painters as the object of study,and examines how different artists use the language of light and shadow to create the mood of a picture.Thirdly,the theoretical knowledge of light and shade to create mood is applied to practical creation,taking the graduation work "Window" series as an example,and specifically the source of inspiration,the perception of light and shade and mood in life,and the specific expression of light and shade language to create mood.Finally,the thesis is reinforced by an account of his own experiences in creative practice.In the contemporary art world,the language of light and shade is increasingly valued by many painters as an important language of expression in oil painting,and young contemporary painters should also pay attention to the language of light and shade in their creation.
