特征1
艾轩风格的最大特点是“借景抒怀”。他画西藏高原景色和孤独的人物，次要 是抒发本身 内心世界的感情，
因而 ，他的作品与其说是西藏风情画，无宁 说是他内心的独白。那么，在这1 幅幅画中，都有艾轩的影子。沉默无语和静静思考，无名的孤独渗透在画中人物的抽象 和画面全部 气氛当中 。独自1 人在一马平川 的草地、雪野、荒原，他(她)们的生活和 大自然，似乎皆要避开观众的视线。在极少的情况之上面 对观众的抽象 (如《冻土带》)也用冷漠和陌生的目光 ，静观这与他(她)们有隔阂的世界。艾轩在写实的物象中寄托了本身 的思绪和感情，他用借景写情的方法，创造出1 幅幅情景交融的、成心 境的画面。
特征二
艾轩风格的另1 特点是他巧妙地把孤寂的抒情性与少许的神秘感美妙地结合了起来。本来，孤独本身即会有某种神秘性，在浩瀚的荒原中孤独，其神秘的意味就更浓。但作者始终不忽视人和自然景色的优美。即使采用奇特构图(如《说不清明天的风》)加强画面不平凡的效果，作者也不遗忘 给观众以审美的满足。所以，艾轩是用美的魅力把观众带进那有宗教情绪和神秘气氛的艺术世界里的。他的画有意味 的意念(如《或许 天还是那样蓝》《说不清明天的风》、《歌声渐远》)，但应用 的是“点到为止”的含蓄手法，似弦上之箭，引而不发，其降服 力和感染力似更为强烈。
特征三
艾轩风格中还有1 点值得特别提起的，那就是他绘画言语 的沉着与精致，这类 绘画言语 的求得，既与制造 的技术有关，又不全是制造 的技术成绩 。他把粗俗的生活往雅里面精心安排，着意推敲。轮廓线的分明，外轮廓的大效果，和由此构成 的空间分割，轮廓内的奥妙 关系(质地感、色调的变化等)……这都使他迷恋和陶醉。但他处理得很谨慎和有分寸，既保有来自生活的感受，又赋予理性的次序 。当然，他尽量避免“做”的痕迹。

媒体推荐
艾轩，1947年出生，如今 是北京画院的油画家。艾轩酷爱中国的古代建筑、绘画、雕塑和民间艺术，除广泛的兴味 外，在绘画的造境上他似乎更钟情于范宽和倪瓒的山水画。
范氏的作品中表达“云烟惨淡风月难雾之状“中的朦胧、宁静和浩瀚苍茫，倪氏作品的“天真幽淡“和意境的深远凝静与艾轩的经历、涵养 与气质较为接近，他从他们的山水画上有所触动和感悟，并结合本身 的艺术寻求 在油画实践中有所探索，也就是很自然的了。他的内心是孤独和凄凉的。这大概决定了他把本身 的视角投向荒凉偏僻的川西地和西藏高原。关于这1 点，他的朋友、画家兼评论家袁正阳有1 段很好的描述：“在此之前，他已数次来回 这些地方。仅仅出现于藏区风情的吸引，他画了些藏民肖像和草原风光。在1 个寒冷的冬天，当艾轩再1 次置身于冰雪皑皑的荒原时，他的内心被强烈地震慑住了。他感到寂静从四面八方向他袭来，他感到远方咄咄逼人的沉默。1 股难言的孤寂感浸透他的全身。他仿佛置身于原始之初，凛冽的寒风掀动着枯萎的野草。冰块在脚下脆裂。从此，艾轩画幅里的那些藏民抽象 和景致开始慢慢地被注入新的意味。

One characteristic
The biggest characteristic of Ai Xuan's style is "borrowed scenery poetry". He painted Tibet plateau scenery and lonely figure, mainly to express their inner feelings of the world,
Therefore, his works it is Tibet style painting, but his inner monologue. So, in this picture, there are Ai Xuan's shadow. Silence silent and quiet thinking, unknown loneliness infiltration in the image of the characters in the picture and the whole atmosphere of the picture. Alone in the vast expanse of grassland, snow, wasteland, he (she) lives and nature seems to avoid the attention of the audience. In the following few situations to the audience's image (such as "tundra") with cold and strange eyes, see this and he (she) have a gap in the world. Ai Xuan expressed his thoughts and feelings in the realistic images, he used the method of borrowing love, create a picture of the artistic conception of the picture, which.
Feature two
Another characteristic of Ai Xuan's style is that he skillfully combines the solitude of lyric with a little mystery. Originally, the loneliness itself, there will be some kind of mystery, in the vast wilderness of loneliness, its mysterious meaning is more concentrated. But the author never ignored the beauty of the human and natural scenery. Even if the use of unique composition (such as "can not say tomorrow's wind") to strengthen the image of the extraordinary effect, the author also does not forget to give the audience to meet the aesthetic. So, Ai Xuan is with the charm of the United States to bring the audience into the religious and mysterious atmosphere of the art world. His paintings are a symbol of ideas (such as "perhaps the sky is still blue" "tell the wind", "tomorrow", but the song gradually far) is the use of "implicit way point", like the arrow on the string, is important to conquer the appeal seems more intense.
Feature three
Ai Xuan style is also worth special mention, and that is his painting language calm and delicate, this kind of painting language, not only with the production of technology, and not all of the technical problems. He put the vulgar life to ya inside careful arrangement, to scrutiny. Contour line of the clear, the large effect of the outer contour, and thus the formation of the space division, the contour of the delicate relationship (texture, color changes, etc.)...... It all makes him infatuated and intoxicated. But he was very cautious and decent, not only has from life experience, given the rational order. Of course, he tried to avoid the "do" traces.

Media recommendation
Ai Xuan, born in 1947, is now the Beijing painting painters. Ai Xuan loves Chinese ancient architecture, painting, sculpture and folk art, in addition to the extensive interest in the built environment, painting he seems to prefer the wide range and Nizan landscape painting.
Fan's works express "clouds" in the fog like pretty bleak to the dim, quiet and vast boundless, Ni's works of "innocent and simple" profound artistic conception and static condensation and Ai Xuan's experience, accomplishment and temperament is close to him from their landscape painting touches and sentiment, combined with his own the pursuit of art has been explored in the painting practice, it is very natural. His heart is lonely and desolate. This probably decided that he put his own perspective to invest in the desolate and remote areas of Western Sichuan and the Tibet plateau. On this point, his friend, painter and critic Yuan Zhengyang had a good description: "before this, he had several times to and from these places. Attract only in Tibetan style, he painted some portraits and Tibetan Grassland scenery. In a cold winter, when Ai Xuan again in the snow covered wilderness, his heart was a strong earthquake outfaced. He felt the silence coming from all directions, he felt far from the aggressive silence. An unspeakable loneliness with his body. He seemed to be in the original at the beginning of the cold wind ruffles the withered grass. Ice at the foot of the brittle crack. Since then, the Tibetan image and scenery in the picture Ai Xuan began to slowly injected new meaning.
