Seven Birds

作品賞析

SHEN Jian-Long is skilled at the ink painting of meticulous paintings. In the work, Seven Birds, he paints a female and a male turkey on a fine Japanese silk. Because turkeys have lumps and flaps that change color, they are also called the seven-faced birds. The male turkey in the painting is spreading its wings, showing a strong and mighty look; the female one is more petite and is standing aside. The brushstrokes form thick, thin, light, and heavy effects with lines of different shades, and the coloring reduces the brightness of the color and enhances the rendering of the picture, showing a delicate and elegant tone. The technique of cutting the picture presents a realistic feeling of the two-dimensional space. With a vivid and ingenious composition, SHEN Jian-Long creates a humanistic painting with profound aesthetics.
