Chinese painting is a form of expression with unique artistic characteristics and cultural connotations, and the concept of creation pays attention to quiet and far-reaching, pen and ink interest, and the environment is outside. However, the core of art cannot be separated from the grasp of "form, meaning, and god" and cultural thinking, and is known for the internal refinement of pen and ink, the simplicity of form, and the richness of meaning, and it is also reflected in the height and difficulty of art. The landscape, flowers and birds are interesting, and the level of lush meteorology is the crystallization of the melting of the national culture furnace of the past generations, which is both an artistic experience and a new subject of art. Throughout the history of Chinese art, artists in different periods and different regions have different experiences and perceptions of form and god, but what is common is the true expression that is faithful to the heart, which is called "the creation of foreign teachers and the source of the heart", which is an emotional and artistic way of expression. For the contemporary painting world, how to make "pen and ink with the times" how to inject fresh vitality into traditional forms, how to face the new topics created by Chinese painting, etc., is a historical responsibility and mission. In this regard, the paintings of contemporary painter Mr. Zhao Gang can feel a deep and thick sense of paleness, and the overall coordination and proportion of composition and color can catch people's hearts. This is not only a visual beauty, but also a kind of spiritual improvement and rejuvenation of the painting situation and situation it creates. In his artistic career for decades, Mr. Zhao Gang has adhered to the creative concepts of "pen and ink are contemporary" and "integrating ancient and modern", and has always run through his creative practice. He is committed to the inheritance, innovation and development of traditional techniques, and pursues them on the never-ending artistic road, so he has a unique view of artistic creation. In his writing, the landscape has ups and downs, the mountains and clouds are heroic; there are also the beautiful spirit of the mountains and rivers, and the pursuit is the majestic atmosphere and artistic conception. Inheriting the ancient law spirit of traditional landscapes, but through the innovation, change and experimentation and creation of pen and ink techniques in artistic concepts, he has formed a broad vision and novel appearance in art. In the painting of flowers and birds, Mr. Zhao Gang uses lyrical interest and aesthetic cultivation to integrate the artistic conception, spiritual realm, state of mind and charm, and the rich details and visual effects expressed by his artistic techniques transform the inner world into visible forms and achieve a higher level of spiritual sublimation. Here, we bring together Mr. Zhao Gang's masterpieces of calligraphy and painting and recent new works, and together we can appreciate his unique poetic rhythm and refreshing artistic atmosphere.

Painting Dao Jing yan vivid rhyme - remember the famous painter Zhao Gang
The appreciation of Chinese painting has an extreme beauty that comes from "fine research". The world's Danqing, only the exquisite Fang Miao, only the study of Fang Xiao. Watching the paintings of the famous painter Mr. Zhao Gang, the most exquisite quality. Hua Zi and elegant painting style can always give people the breath of books living next to the shallow water of reed flowers. Ink does not hurt its gods, beautiful but not lose its elegance, the most elegant and popular good quality, into the home decoration barrier, painting to carry the road of ancient and modern continuity!
From the perspective of the breadth of the painting subject, Zhao Gang has a broad and versatile creative talent, and all phases can be Bo Danqing, through poetic shaping, forming an elegant charm. Whether it is flowers, birds, landscapes have the connotation of enduring taste, the more you look at it, the more you taste it, and the more you read it, the more mysterious it is. Literati painting is not only elegant and elegant, but also full of wisdom, and the achievement of pen and ink can be seen in Chenghuai, rejecting all smoke, allowing for happiness, pleasing to the eye!
Draw a pool of ink lotus to listen to the wind and rain, and the boneless painting method is handy. Splashing floating incense around the curved shore, it is poured into a circular shadow to cover the pond. Full of vitality, full of Zen rhyme. Non-fear of autumn wind early, drifting over the reincarnation! Wise men draw lotuses, always so if, a flower a world, a leaf as it comes! I like to linger in his ink, because the virtual reality is born, and the paintings of near and far can always make people see clearly, and they can not stop the color, sound, fragrance and touch. From this, it can be seen that Zhao Gang's painting is an introduction to self-evidence and self-realization, which leads people to read the Heart Sutra, and the heart has no obstacles, and there is no terror! Inside the painting is a well-studied technique, outside the painting is culture, so the shape of the god, of course, can dominate the hearts of the people!
His works of flowers and birds always have the beauty of the spirit and the truth of sex. It is the artist's expression of blessing bamboo shadows and poetic thinness with literati cultivation, and it is also the shaping of blessing plum blossoms into sleep. Painting like his people, Yajun as a vine, of course, is the spirit of grabbing objects and elephants, and the appearance of plundering objects. Purple Qi Donglai Is mysterious, in the form of Ji, in the form of Xiang as a god, in both forms and gods, especially in the gods!
Landscape creation is also an important subject for Mr. Zhao Gang to express the cultivation of literati. His landscape works have the values of the source of the heart in the creation of foreign teachers, and firmly believe that the teacher is not as good as the teacher, so the painting comes from nature, the meaning is formed from the heart, and attaches great importance to the connotation management of literati painting, and finally can be shaped by the bone method with the pen, freehand out of the East Cliff Fu Fu Cover Light Fog, west peak Zhengrong spray spring of the object pictogram!
Then rendered with ink, reworked with green for paving, can become a day of clear and beautiful, the charm of the elm wind is vivid. The color is not covered with ink, the ink is not covered, the layers are clear, and the dust is not dropped. The painting style is as clear as if it has been washed with water! Swimming in such a landscape, you can see that the spring water is full of four zezes, and the summer clouds are full of strange peaks! There is also the autumn moon Yang Minghui, the winter ridge shows the cold pine! Beautiful artistic conception, wonderful scene, landscape is rich in cultural pattern, but also has philosophical qualities. Here is a pleasant place to stay and always live and travel!
The painting is exquisitely studied and vivid. Zhao Gang painting is a practice, a multi-discipline of spiritual, cultural, and artistic practice. To repair the painting, to paint like its person. Virtuous wind crossing, virtue cultivation, painting realm this is the highest!
