Dai Jun paints mainly on flowers and birds, but also on figures and landscapes. His flower-and-bird paintings are elegant in style, with a unique sense of wild beauty and elegance. He emphasizes the natural structure of ink and wash, and the excavation and interpretation of the vitality of natural life. Although he paints the nature of flowers, plants, birds and insects, The world expresses rich, vivid and harmonious humanistic feelings. Because of his profound attainments in calligraphy, his extensive knowledge in epigraphy, stone and seal carving, his handling of dots, lines and surfaces, and his composition of the rhythm of pen and ink, he also has a unique taste and poetic state. It can be said that the meaning is found in every bit. Skill can be seen in every outline, talent can be seen in every flower and grass. Dai Jun's flower-and-bird painting "Sunny Day" occupies the majority of the painting with full-colored, golden sunflower bushes and two chickens nestling together on the grass, like a whisper, full of natural interest and deep artistic conception. "Two Herons on Reeds" depicts an autumn scene with a unique and wild beauty. The painting pays attention to the interweaving of lines, the patchwork of surfaces, and the leaning reeds to express the feeling of wind blowing. The two herons standing quietly look back and stare, as if they have just woken up from a nap. It also seems to be listening to the sound of autumn, with a lifelike expression. Are the mandarin ducks in "Chrysanthemums and Mandarin Ducks" gazing or meditating? She has a cute and playful look, a childlike innocence, and a unique sense of fun. Such a description that pays attention to expressions can only be written by a poet with an innocent heart.
Many times, Dai Jun paints out of excitement and expresses his inner thoughts, so he often paints with a splash of color and works hard to achieve the result. Perhaps because of this, there is the charm of ink and wash that is full of clouds and smoke falling from the sky, and that kind of interest that is not intended to be good but good; as the saying goes, dabbling in writing becomes interesting, and carefree brushwork is what it means. However, Dai Jun's flower and bird paintings are full of interest, rich in poetry and profound accumulation of pen and ink. They come from life and express their own thoughts. They naturally abandon the absurd and empty habits of the so-called traditional literati paintings, and have their own profound and flexible beauty.
