A Narrative Study Of Figurative Painting Space

Space as a symbolic language plays an important role in painting artworks.With the increasingly diverse use of space in modern painting,space no longer exists only as a background;artists use creation to interpret their psychological world and use space to express the spiritual world,so we can say that figurative painting space brings new forms,new experiences and new meanings to narrativity.In modern art,the artist is no longer limited to simply stating an event that happened at a certain time,but expresses emotions and resonates.Edward Hopper,an American realist painter of the early 20 th century,used his own artistic language to express the real emotional life and spiritual state of contemporary people,reflecting his unique artistic thought.What is fascinating about his works is the hidden themes and narrative style in his works,where every constituent element of the picture is permeated with emotions that transcend the dimensions of time and space.Tim Eitel,one of the famous artists of the Neo-Leipzig School,attempts to break the boundaries between two and three dimensions by combining personal life experiences with aesthetic concepts through a simple overall structure,creating an abstract,deeply emotional space,emphasizing narrative and searching for a state of dialogue to convey profound reflections on contemporary life.Both have their own characteristics in terms of their environment,expression and painting language,but their use of the narrative space of painting is of great significance to the development of contemporary art and deserves deep consideration and research.The first part is an overview of the narrative nature of figurative painting space;the second part is a detailed analysis of the silent and detached narrative atmosphere presented by the visual space in Hopper’s case works;the third part is a detailed analysis of how Tim Eitel The third part is a detailed analysis of how Tim Eitel presents a narrative atmosphere of silence and solitude by constructing the pictorial space of his works.The fourth part is a reflection on the narrative nature of space.
