白俄罗斯的夏天

Summer of Belarus

中国画

Chinese painting

136cm×68cm　2016

提起白俄罗斯，人们总会联想起身材高挑、美貌过人又博学多识的美女。正因如此，白俄罗斯的夏天更显热情似火。作品汲取没骨画法，辅之西画光影之所长，塑造了身着民族服装的白俄罗斯少女动人的神韵。人物造型严谨、色彩淡雅明快。少女迷人的微笑，令人过目难忘。

People often associate Belarus with tall, slim, beautiful and scholarly women. Perhaps that is exactly why its summers often feel so passionately hot. The artist employs a Mogu technique [ink paintings without outlines] which complements Western-style shadowing to model the figure of this charmingly touching young Belarusian woman wearing ethnic clothes. The artist's portrayal of the character is rigorous, while the colors he uses are calm, elegant and alive. The enchanting smile of this young girl is quite memorable.
