Selected Oil-Paintings of Luo Gongliu

Mr Luo Gungliu has studied for a long time a new freehand-brushwork oil painting style characterized by spontaneous expression and bold outline in a impressionistic manner. He has expressed popular Chinese tastes with a simple and native style and a way so plain to narrate in his works, which appeal a quality of countryside life, history and earth. Trial on synthetic materials, exercise of wild cursive hand in calligraphy, profited from color application and brush techniques of Northern Wei grottoes, these have laid a solid foundation for him to create large-sized oil paintings in the new style, of which Luxuriant Vegetation is an example.
