Features: Oil painting, as a heterogeneous culture transplanted from the West, has played an irreplaceable role in the long development of Chinese oil painting since its arrival in China. Until today, in the diverse and fully prosperous 21st century, Shanghai, a city renowned for its open spirit and magnificent attitude of "embracing all rivers," has always been a unique force in its pioneering and innovative contributions. The development of Chinese oil painting is influenced by the general trend of world cultural development while also being constrained by the intrinsic characteristics of local culture. It carries the genes of Western cultural development but must survive in the unique climate and soil of Chinese cultural development.
