Li Jianyi's oil painting "Afternoon 1" showcases his meticulous and keen mastery of light and shadow. The artist employs pointillism techniques, using calm and warm tones to create a serene atmosphere of the afternoon. The traditional architecture at the center of the composition, with its delicate carvings and stone lions, combines dynamically with the flock of pigeons fluttering in the lower left, creating a beautiful contrast between stillness and motion. The background, highlighted by the red couplets and images of elegant ladies, cleverly emphasizes the ambiance of Eastern traditional culture. This work not only reflects the artist's rich domestic and international perspective but also contains a longing and nostalgia for a pure, slow-paced life.
