Abstract:

Mr. Fan Di'an in his Chinese Art in Ecological Changes of Images figuratively regards the image resources in
contemporary art creation as "image ecology". Chinese contemporary art cannot avoid the problem on how to use image resources. The
overflow of public visual image resources has reminded Chinese contemporary artists of reinforcing the attempt and exploration of
painting language and then surpassing the "image" quality. They should not abandon the pursuit of "painterliness", but reveal the
power of painting art through its own formal language, modeling, and color of painting.

Key words: image ecology, painterliness, visual language
