The refreshing works of Zhang Zhizhong displayed in front of us often have a kind of artistic charm and spiritual world unique to the painter
A part of them is contained in the picture. The author's deep feelings for the objective object he wants to express. It seems that what the painter is pursuing is not only a technique and brushwork rich in national characteristics, but also a profound concept as advocated by ancient Chinese artists: "the spirit of wind and strength is at the top, and the beauty and function are at the bottom". philosophy. I noticed that all his masterpieces often deliberately pursue a kind of inner beauty of charm and imagery. The same lotus, whether in the wind, under the rain, in the clear autumn, or destroyed by frost, or colorful, or withered and desolate, can all bring people an artistic feeling with its own charm and character. ——Feng Mu
Zhang Zhizhong has not forgotten that he is a Chinese painter. He studied calligraphy, poetry, Confucianism, Taoism, martial arts, and traditional Chinese medicine, all in order to find the soul of the Chinese nation. These traditions surged in his heart, and combined with the methods and effects of printmaking, they greatly enhanced the charm of Zhizhong's works. I don’t know what other people think. Anyway, I sweated on the tip of my nose after reading his paintings, and a cool breeze of excitement raised goosebumps on my back, just like when I listen to the master’s music, I feel like I can’t reach it and can’t scratch it. The same excitement as hitting an itch. ——Han Meilin
