Li Jun's Artistic Style

Since 1956, Li Jun's oil paintings have continuously participated in Soviet and national art exhibitions, and many historical paintings such as Liu Hulan and Seven Martyrs who died in 1963 have been collected by the Chinese Revolutionary History Museum. As a professor in the Oil Painting Department of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, he has cultivated many talents with rich experience, and at the same time, he has exerted a wide social influence with a large number of portrait works. He is called the representative painter of contemporary China oil painting by critics. In the early 1980s, he was invited to give lectures at art colleges in Spain, Russia and other countries, and visited and studied at the European Art Museum. In his works after 1980s, he combined China's traditional aesthetic concepts with Russian classical oil painting techniques, forming a distinctive personal style. Many works have been collected by China Art Museum, and many personal paintings have been published. His portraits such as Qi Baishi, Wei Tianlin, Female Body, Russian Farmer, Russian Woman, Professor Richard and Young Woman, as well as his landscape series Birch Forest, have become the representatives of contemporary oil paintings in China and have been widely spread. At the same time, Li Jun's China paintings and calligraphy have been guided by many masters, which is also profound.
