1. Artwork Identification
This atmospheric oil painting by Liu Delong captures an expansive seascape or icy terrain rendered in swirling strokes of white, blue, and soft violet. The composition draws the viewer into a boundless horizon where sky and sea (or snow) dissolve into one another, blurring the line between water, cloud, and ice.
2. Artistic Style and Influences
Executed in a style that merges impressionistic spontaneity with gestural abstraction, the work demonstrates Liu Delong’s sensitivity to natural movement and mood. His loose brushwork, luminous palette, and evocative texture recall Western seascape traditions as well as Chinese literati ink wash aesthetics—translated here into oil.
3. Historical Context
Liu Delong’s work participates in a broader tradition of contemporary Chinese artists who explored the expressive potential of oil paint while remaining rooted in a philosophy of observation and internal reflection. This painting likely emerged in the late 20th or early 21st century, reflecting an increasingly global sensibility in Chinese modern painting.
