Abstract

The culture of the southeast region is taken as the focus of research to explore the translation and innovation of traditional boneless painting techniques in the contemporary art context. After a deep investigation of the unique natural environment, humanistic history and art traditions of the southeast region, combined with the theory and practice of contemporary art, the aim is to construct a brand-new graphic system that integrates tradition and modernity. This article first sorts out the historical evolution and artistic features of the boneless painting technique and analyzes its intrinsic connection with the culture of the southeast region. Then, it explores the possible innovations of the boneless painting technique in the contemporary art context, such as the expansion of materials, techniques, and expression themes. Finally, through field research and case analysis, it presents a set of contemporary boneless painting creation methodologies based on the cultural characteristics of the southeast region. Finally, in the process of integrating theory with practice, an attempt was made to construct a graphic theoretical framework with traditional heritage and modern power, exploring new ideas and methods for the contemporary translation of traditional art. The research results not only enrich the academic connotation of boneless painting research but also provide practical references for the innovative development of traditional art in the contemporary context.
