There is such an art that you can't classify it by simple beauty and ugliness. It's ridiculous and attractive. This is grotesque art. ..

Grotesque is the morphological feature of beauty and has unique aesthetic value. In contemporary art, it has always been a hot spot cited.

Why can it become the shoulder of the literary and art circles?

Weird art has become a burden to literary and art circles?

A "Hot Blood Guanyin" made Chen Xiaoxuan a leading figure in Hua Dan after zero zero, but what was more impressive than the movie was the poster with peculiar style.

In the film, the feminine painting style and gloomy atmosphere complement each other, and Taiwan Province artist Liu Yilan entered the public's sight with "Blood Guanyin".

Exaggerated to the point where it is out of proportion to the human body, the five senses reveal a little bit of fragility and dig out the deepest thoughts of the characters.

This form of expression is called grotesque art.

Artists reveal the truth of society through the destruction and deformation of objects, and the most common way is to depict the human body in an exaggerated and abnormal way.

Compared with beautiful art and funny art, grotesque art can always bring people a more magical feeling. It is precisely because of this special effect that people constantly pursue and create grotesque art.

Artists distort and abstract the reality, and express their inner feelings in a strange way through the expression of image fantasy, instead of creating in an objective way.

In fact, many China movies now use this grotesque hand-painted as the poster of the movie.

The hand-painted poster of the movie The Road Not Taken is a series of skins painted by artist Yue Minjun.

This contemporary artist, who is famous for his "smiling face", is full of emptiness and boredom with his weird and ridiculous movements and hippie expressions.

Grotesque art has always been on the edge of mainstream art aesthetics, but it has always maintained a steady stream of creative vitality.

This fantastic artistic expression began to appear in China in the 1980s, and this deviation from the officially recognized socialist realism reached its peak in the "China Modern Art Exhibition" held by China Art Museum in February 1989.

It is also very popular in the fashion circle.

The digital graduation show of Saint Martin's men's wear design major takes grotesque art as its theme.

The grotesque aesthetics also has a good performance in film and television works.

The color of pomegranate is one of the best. There are many religious symbols, metaphors and colors in the movie screen, and the interaction between complex scenes and light and shadow brings grotesque aesthetics to the extreme.

The overall shooting style of PS: Lady Gaga's 911MV is to pay tribute to this film. The combination of surreal visual expression and religious elements presents a gorgeous and unique visual experience.

This is the essence of grotesque aesthetics: revealing absurd beauty in strangeness, seeing light in darkness, being depressed and full of hope, and bringing us ultimate gorgeous beauty under this complementary condition.

The difference between grotesque and grotesque?

Weirdness is purely for the sake of weirdness, because it does not conform to the content and loses the aesthetic value of art itself, while grotesque aesthetics truly achieves the unity of strangeness and truth.

The rise of grotesque art is closely related to social environment and historical conditions, and social unrest will make grotesque art more popular.

The manifestation of grotesque art is to reflect the reality of social deformity with distorted images, which achieves the unity of strangeness and truth.

The aesthetic feeling of grotesque art lies in the combination of ugliness and absurdity. We can understand ugliness in absurdity and experience absurdity in ugliness, so that the public can understand social implications from a grotesque perspective.

Weird artistic expression is not only absurd and horrible, but also has no proper restrictions. The public can't appreciate the aesthetic value and the social significance behind it from such an expression, and its strangeness can only be reduced to a simple gimmick.

The emphasis of grotesque aesthetics is to achieve the harmony of the mean, not to go to extremes, not to engage in absoluteness, and to control the degree.

This coincides with the "golden mean" that we have always emphasized, which is not only the dialectics of life, but also the dialectics of art.

"Seeing flowers in the fog" is only beautiful if you can see flowers, and it is called smog if you can't see flowers.

Strangeness is purely a fashion "strangeness", unilaterally pursuing novelty and strangeness in artistic form, and replacing artistic creation with graffiti only shows the darkness and meanness of the work, so it is not beautiful to be so rough.

In fact, grotesque art is an indictment of morbid social reality. They are eager to make people think with ugly images, and they are people's cry for losing the perfect world.

Weirdness challenges our cognition of soundness, beauty and comfort, but it does not provide us with cognitive value, so it cannot be called beauty.

Grotesque is addictive?

Weird art is the destruction, destruction and distortion of normalized things, but readers have a special liking for this strange painting style. What is the magic of grotesque aesthetics that fascinates us?

First of all, the grotesque artistic image shows extraordinary freedom, which can satisfy our inner desire for freedom.

Different from the delicate and dexterous normal beauty, grotesque art breaks the logic followed by the real world and creates a magical world for us.

The moral code that we used to abide by was broken, and the logical order that restricted things was cancelled.

This has greatly attracted the freedom of human rebellion, which is more obvious in the era of increasing social injustice, so the rise of grotesque art is closely related to its era.

The world of grotesque art is so dreamy that we can laugh at and subvert serious things, destroy the order of the material world and even sacred life, and make us feel horrible and funny.

Grotesque art makes the impossible possible. It liberates our repressed hearts and satisfies people's rational desires with their own irrationality. Here, our hearts have gained temporary freedom.

Weird art can also break the normal state of life, bring us a sense of surprise that we can't stop, and let us get the pleasure of being abused.

The world we have seen since childhood is educated and disciplined, and everyone abides by the so-called rules and order. In the long run, it will inevitably be boring.

The grotesque art brings ridicule, epiphany and the instinctive pleasure of exploring evil, which becomes a unique aesthetic that is both horrible and funny.

Weird art depicts serious things in an abnormal way. Although we are familiar with its constituent elements, the whole is contrary to common sense, so it brings us a surprise and a different sense of surprise.

The aesthetics of Natsume's works are more normal.

This artistic image, which breaks through the realistic rules, is both attractive and resistant to us.

In the contradictory cognition, we have a sense of surprise and a pleasure similar to revenge or self-abuse.

Because blind relaxation and blind tension can't make us really happy, but the alternating appearance of diversified emotional experiences of various natures and intensities can make our hearts relax.

The grotesque art is born with a magical effect of forcibly attracting attention and engraving memories.

Because it breaks our daily mediocre and numb life state, it will make us feel unable to stop under this contradiction of curiosity and resistance.

Humans are used to getting pleasure from the chaos, madness and weirdness in the subconscious.

It's like everyone is scared to death by horror movies, but they still can't help but watch them.

Compared with ordinary aesthetic objects, grotesque art can bring us more exciting shock.

Although its manifestation is strange, it can make us think more rationally.

So, do you think grotesque is a kind of beauty?
