This research starts from the discussion of the styles of lines in images, discussing the importance of expressions of lines as imagery styles, and analyzing how those artists with blazing styles make paintings by using techniques of chirography. Besides, I’m going to explicate the application of chirography in my artistry，explaining the modeling of pure lines and how to combine images by different forms of lines, and I will also emphasis on the “velocity” and “quality” of chirography in this research.
The research explores the evolution of chirography from the analyzing of “eighteen methods of drawing”. In order to stand out above the thousands upon thousands artists, it’s important to have unique individual style of chirography. We will be submerged without special styles，no matter how great skills of painting we have.
In my artist’s statement, I divide my works into two series: the first is “The image of landscape”. In this series I try to depict images of landscape in my heart. The second is “The perception of life”. In this series I describe my feelings about daily life and use special styles of lines and another creative element: it’s a half-automatic technique which I name as “shrink skill”. This skill is very similar to splash-ink or splash- dyestuff and can cause textures of lines during the process of shrinking and depositing. We can control the tint of Chinese ink or the flowing direction of pigments, and use it on various expressions of figures with hand-made lines. I will do more researches on this skill and develop it as a more mature style.
