Pursuing Sentiment in Nature-Preface to "Scenery Sketch of Zhang Zhong's Scenery"

Mr. Zhang Zhong is a successful and touching entrepreneur as well as an excellent and tasteful artist. Today, I would like to say a few words about his painting art.

　　 Painting is just Zhang Zhong’s hobby, but his works are extraordinary and amazing. He "stretched one hand to life, the other hand to tradition", adhered to the artistic orientation of "I write my heart, don't open a new look", "walk thousands of miles, read thousands of books", and created a large number of valuable works.

　　 It is a kind of enjoyment to appreciate Zhang Zhong's pen and ink paintings, because these paintings are all sketched on the spot, full of vitality, fresh and moving. He never contemplates techniques, ignores emotions, and makes superficial and small craftsmanship; he never builds a car behind closed doors, emphasizes pedagogy, and formulates formulas. Instead, he pursues taste in the ever-changing nature, seeks out his own expression techniques, and explores his own painting language. He always creates creations in the face of nature, with choices and transformations, to create a state of mind to achieve a blend of scenes. Over time, he finally found a distinctive and unique painting language and expression technique. For example, in the painting "Dali Xizhou Village", he used short lines of different lightness to sprinkle the picture, which seemed complicated, but not messy. It is these short-line combinations that create atmosphere and space, just like the French impressionist feeling. This unique picture composed of "Zhang Bell Lines" brings people the joy of beating brisk, elegant and bright. "Kungfu pays off for those who care about it," Nature gave Zhang Zhongbao a generous and selfless gift.

Zhang Zhong has a unique artistic thinking about Chinese painting, forming his unique artistic style. His basic skills are solid, he pursues a thick and turbulent context, and on the basis of his perception, he breaks away from the "popular voice", but paints with sincerity and naturalness. Speak your own heart. Whether it is expressing the southern water towns, the wind and rain in the villages, the cliffs and the long pine, the willow bank and the clear autumn, he has his own concept, brushwork and ink method. He also absorbed the essence of Western sculpting on the basis of traditional pen and ink, so that the past is used for the present and the foreign is used for the Chinese. Therefore, his paintings are rigorous in shape and precise in structure, such as "Spring Bamboo Shoots on the Market", with vivid pen and ink, simple and smooth. Bright and beautiful, the characters are vivid and vivid, reflecting the spirit and demeanor of the new generation of Chinese farmers.

Many of Zhang Zhong’s works were done in his spare time. His success depends on his perseverance and diligence beyond ordinary people, but what really succeeds is his unique talent, good artistic perception and cultivation, persisting in going deep into life and sticking to himself. The result of the spiritual home. He is an artist who is willing to be lonely, loves nature, loves life, loves himself, and is sincere, simple and full of talent and wisdom.
