I like Hongzhen’s paintings. At first, it was because of the aura of Jiangnan, which gave me, a southerner who has lived in the north for a long time, a feeling of “reminiscing about Jiangnan”. Now when I look at his paintings carefully, I feel that From his works, we can not only see the beautiful mind of Jiangnan talents, but also understand that he has a broad mind. In the mountains and rivers he painted, there are not only pictures of gurgling streams and winding paths, but also the artistic conception of surging mountains and mountains, so I say that his paintings are: "It is Jiangnan, but it goes beyond Jiangnan." ”——Ye Xiushan
With his writing skills and previous experience, coupled with Ge Hongzhen’s research on natural fish farming, the fish in his paintings are all vivid and natural. Ye Xiushan, an esthetician from the Institute of Philosophy of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, once wrote an article "Depicting a Living World" to comment on his fish (published in "Wen Wei Po PEN"); Mr. Wu Mu, a Suzhou painter, accepted Ge Hongzhen's calligraphy and painting exhibition after watching it. In an interview with a TV reporter, he said: "Bada Shanren is good at painting fish, but his paintings are different from Bada Shanren. Bada Shanren's paintings are very good and of high value. We Suzhou people are not bad either. He (referring to Ge Hongzhen) ) He draws all kinds of fish. Some fish are drawn with thick strokes. It is not easy to draw the feeling of being in the water. Although it is not easy to draw with light ink, he can draw the fun in the water. It should be said that his Painting fish will be very distinctive in the future." Mr. Wu Mu's summary is an affirmation for a middle-aged painter, and it also provides encouragement. We hope that Mr. Ge Hongzhen will continue to work hard and achieve greater achievements. ——Chen Chuanxi
The "scholarization of calligraphers" was advocated by many commentators several years ago. Although there are still many loopholes in the theoretical examination, its starting point is completely correct, at least the growth of Mr. Ge Hongzhen The roads illustrate this. What we want to make a slight modification here is that calligraphers do not have to be "scholars" one by one, but should first maintain their true nature as a "calligrapher", and secondly expand their knowledge, so that their artistic level can be continuously improved and eventually stand out. Looked up to by everyone. --Mao Wanbao
Being able to pass down history in a popular way and pass down Dharma texts to readers in a popular way, I think it adds a spark to the inheritance of human civilization. Mr. Ge's doing this will benefit the present generation. Benefit future generations. ——Wang Limin
Mr. Ge Hongzhen of Suzhou is devoted to the research of Wu School of Calligraphy and has successively published "Zhu Yunming", "The Complete Works of Chinese Calligraphy·Zhu Yunming Volume, Wen Zhengming Volume", "Wuzhong Talent - Wen" "The Life and Art of Zhengming", "On the Wumen School of Calligraphy" and other works, and recently the book "The Guide to the Wumen Dharma Notes of the Ming Dynasty" was published, which is of great significance to the promotion of the Wumen School of Calligraphy. Mr. Ge Hongzhen is both good at researching calligraphy history and creating works. These works reflect his respect for local sages and are his "consistent" pursuit of calligraphy art. ——Zhu Tianshu
