Islands have various forms and humanistic atmosphere as a peculiar natural

geomorphology. Our life on them not only affects the forms of islands, but also is

affected by the island forms; islands become wonderful with people and people

experience the wonder of the world on islands. This research paper takes imagery

thinking of “island” as the research axis of landscape painting creation, discusses the

relationship between inner spirit of individuals and manifestations of nature and takes

it to make art creation to describe personal mind. This creation takes Chinese

traditional painting, philosophical thought and aesthetic theory as basis, combines the

observation and understanding in contemporary life, adopts traditional Chinese

painting medium to present own painting style in the expression theme of “island”

and delivers the things saw, thought and understood in landscape painting.

This research paper consists of five chapters. The first chapter confirms the purpose

and significance of this research paper through theoretical discussion of predecessors

in painting as well as the discussions on philosophical connotations and literary

significance behind painting thought. The second chapter discusses the theoretical

basis of “One Island One World” and explores the expression form of theoretical basis

in paintings of predecessors, which confirms theoretical basis for expression ways and

forms of individual creation and seeks for breakthrough direction. The third chapter

discusses the literary connotations of “island” as well as the painting works related to

island, summarizes the creation experience of predecessors and provides references

for individual creation. The fourth chapter elaborates works, analyzes the creation

ideas and skills, describes from four series of (1) Tao is Bodhi series, (2) Five colors

disorder series, (3) Nanshan meeting series and (4) Normalization series to express

the mood of personal creation. The fifth chapter is creation experience, thinking and

expectation for future.

The creation of One Island and One World integrates individual painting language and

constructs artistic conception of self landscape painting through research on ink and

wash creation of four series as well as the observations and experience for nature and

life and the exploration of humanistic thought.
