Abstract

Since the reform and opening up, China’s urbanization process has been accelerating, and urbanization has affected the existence and development of culture and art in a direct or indirect way. This paper analyzes the evolution of contemporary art in urbanized Southwest China from “Local art” painting, to “non-local art” painting, and then to non-easel art, focusing on the subjective and objective reasons for the change in art forms, and examining in depth the contemporary artists and their works in Southwest China. Luo Zidan is a pioneering artist in the transformation of Southwest art from an on-easel to an off-easel form, and his work provides an example of Southwest contemporary off-easel.
