Painting is sometimes very abstract but very real

The presence of a camera

Let us see all the details in the picture

And painting can make us see different stories

An artist from the United States

Mark Tennant

Mark Tennant

Mark likes to use painting to capture moments of life

From the circle of friends or around him are the materials he created

From life and beyond life

Macburn is a very serious painter

The 75-year-old has been painting since he was 19

In 56 years, he has accumulated a solid foundation in painting

Especially in painting female human bodies

Women's vitality is blooming with youthful vitality in his works

Mark Tennant graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the Maryland Institute of Art in Baltimore and a Master of Fine Arts degree from the New York Institute of Art in New York City. In 2008 and 2009, he served as Chair of the Fine Arts Graduate Drawing Department at the San Francisco University of the Arts, where he has served as an instructor since 1998. His paintings have been exhibited twice at the Salon d'Autumn in Paris, among other exhibitions. He has taught museum reproduction courses at the Louvre in Paris, the Metropolitan Museum in New York, and the Legion of Honor Museum in San Francisco.

In the long-term traditional art creation

Mark is just an ordinary art professor

And his change in painting began with "playing"

Do not stick to the restrictions of subject matter

Mark begins to try to know the world of young people

From body oil painting to scene description

At the age of 75, he also managed to blend into the circle of young people

Some people envied his creativity

Others envy his innovation

It is said that young people like to indulge in feasts and feasts

Mark also began to understand this life

Fascinated by youth and urban cultural expression

Start with a smartphone

Mark looked through the life photos shared by each of his friends

The development of the times

Everyone is not as restrained as he was when he was young

Rich living environment also makes people very active

The same way of creating

The creative theme of the great reversal

Let Mark resonate across the network

More than 400,000 fans Like call

The 75-year-old painter became an "dishonest" fashion art old man

Combining traditional creation with modern theme

Suddenly let people accept a fondness for stuffy art painting

Painting is sometimes the output of emotion

This will touch the audience more

Mark's paintings are ordinary and very special

Lack of detail in all works

Especially the description of facial features

It's even more "mosaic"-style

It's like I haven't finished the painting

Deliberately only to emphasize the state of life of the characters

Show it lightly and happily in his pen

"Youth" is now the main theme in his writing

Put art into life

We can see the truest "private life"

No trace of performance

Material selection through social media

Any scene in Mark's pen could be drawn

Ordinary but the most impressive "People who eat melons"

An oil painting that is both stuffy and modern

Mark painted it as the closest art to ordinary people

A lifetime of artistic learning is expressed with drastic brushstrokes

Both the characters and the background are almost indistinguishable

But it is extremely ingenious in spatial composition and color composition

It highlights the existence of characters and reflects the complexity and diversity of environments

This all reflects his strong painting ability

Draw art young

We are inheriting the most traditional art

Play and create

Fun artistic creation will exist all around us

Different artists have different ways of creative expression

And the person who falls in love at first sight should be the one who suits his heart most

Feel young life in the eyes of a 75-year-old man
