Abstract

Artists have long favored oil and ink due to their unique technical languages, creating distinct visual effects in traditional painting. Since the mid-20th century, art movements have challenged traditional concepts and expanded artistic boundaries, enabling diverse media use. This qualitative study focuses on contemporary Chinese art, analyzing the historical and technological evolution of ink and oil painting through literature and case studies. This study aims to compare these media in classic and modern works, assisting artists in selecting appropriate media, inspiring innovative blends, and ultimately benefiting art research.
