Abstract
This thesis focuses on the spread and application of neo-expressionism in China. Neo-expressionism is a further development from expressionism. After decades of development, neo-expressionist art has had a profound impact on the exploration of individualization, nationalization and ontologization of contemporary Chinese oil painting. Among the many contemporary Chinese oil painting artists, there are also some artists who have received the influence of neo-expressionism, and through their practice, they continue to integrate Western neo-expressionism with the local Chinese culture and explore the development of local oil painting from their own perspective. The article focuses on Chinese artists' absorption and fusion of neo-expressionism, and identifies how Chinese artists, in the face of neo-expressionism, can eventually form a Chinese oil painting style through conceptual criticism and transformation and the fusion of Chinese and Western formal languages, presenting a more diversified art pattern in China. Neo-expressionism is an important direction that contemporary Chinese oil painting needs to continue to study.
