Art is a sacred pursuit, it is also a pursuit full of hardship and struggle. I deeply appreciate the challenge faced by an artist, because my wife is an artist. Often times, an artist needs to struggle in loneliness for years or even decades without any reward or recognition . lt is like walking in a long, dark tunnel without seeing the light for very long time. Mr, Nie is such a traveler in solitude. However, instead of giving up, Mr. Nie fought like a true warrior. Using paint brush as his weapon, Mr. Nie created an artistic world full of amazing beauty.
Mr. Nie’ s oil painting s are characterized by bold colors, free form, and a unique style that is different from anyone else’s.His work combines elements of impressionist masters such as Van Gogh and Monet with the creativity and freedom art, showing a deep contemplation of life with rich colors and romantic lines. Of Mr. Nie’ s oil painting Modern Divine Comedy,the ln ferno uses subdued colors to show distorted human figures struggling in pain, and the paradiso lays bare the emptiness of a decadent materialism societyon a background of flowing gold.
This thoughtful work serves as a vivid sculpture of the modern society, a sculpture built with brush and paint. The Thinker of Rodin is character sitting on the Gates of Hell. The oil paintings of Mr. Nie are colorful reflections of the vanity and darkness of a materialism society like the striking scenes in the Gates of Hell. Mr. Nie himself is the Thinker sitting a top the Gates of Hell, facing the struggle of life, and lighting up the world with unwavering spiritual pursuit.
