Abstract

Murals are attached to architecture and landscape, and are closely linked to people in the environment. Today in Chongqing, designers of public space mural paintings are facing increasing challenges. This paper analyzes the linguistic features of public space and mural paintings in public place, as well as issues related to the creation of public space murals. Through introducing the concept of critical regionalism which can guide the creation of public space murals in Chongqing, and exploring public space mural painting forms which are different from the traditional regionalism mode, this paper aims to clarify the relationships among people, public space and mural paintings.
