Chinese contemporary realism oil painting

Abstract

In 2004, Beijing Realism Oil Painting was initiated and established by three Chinese artists. With the development of this school, these artists changed its former name to Chinese Realism Oil Painting, published their realist Declaration and decided to organize a yearly works exhibition since 2005. Until now, they have successfully organized nine exhibitions. Their realist works were warmly received by the public. Being somewhat exotic, oil painting not only occupies an important position in the genre of the West but is also flourishing in China. The establishment of the Chinese Realism Oil Painting marks a new development in realist oil painting in the 21st century in China.
