Reflections on Painting - 2



The artistic concept of thematic paintings of golf courses can be explored from multiple dimensions. It not only involves the collision between nature and humanity but also contains metaphors of society, culture, and philosophy. Through the use of Impressionist light and shadow or the lyrical brushstrokes of Romanticism, Hudson Shaoxia Zhang portrays the golf course as a "utopian" natural fragment, emphasizing the harmony between order and beauty. The artistic concept of thematic paintings of golf courses is not singular. Its core lies in reflecting the complex relationships among human beings, nature, society, and the self through this specific space. Hudson Shaoxia Zhang not only continues the aesthetic tradition of traditional landscape paintings but also, by virtue of the critical nature of contemporary art, transforms the golf course into a "concept container" that carries multiple meanings.
