SIGNED - INSTINCT AND FEELING: JOVE WANG'S OIL PAINTING (2002, HC/DJ) -GOOD

Description: "...Wang's distinctive style emphasizes color variation and the use of a palette knife to create subtle effects, particularly in non-focal areas. He skillfully sculpts faces by contrasting warm and cool tones while keeping dark pigments rich and translucent. Composition is central to his process; he begins with the painting's structure, followed by color and value contrasts, with brushwork and subject matter coming next. Wang employs a unique blending and layering technique, using thick paint for details like scarves and flowers, which he blends with a brush without losing earlier layers. His organized palette features dark colors on one side and light on the other, allowing for harmonious blends of warm and cool pigments. He often uses a loose grip on the brush for expressiveness and can refine harsh strokes with flicks or his thumb. Wang emphasizes the emotional connection to his subjects, advising, "Don't be too calm when you paint; infuse your passion into it," while maintaining a strong understanding of form. His brushstrokes showcase power and variety, employing thick paint for emphasis and thin paint for depth, resulting in a rich tapestry of textures and shapes..."
