Ma Shunxian is a highly cultivated painter in China. He is not only good at landscapes, flowers and birds, but also good at calligraphy inscriptions. Recently, I saw a batch of his new flower-and-bird paintings, which are elegant in style and catch up with the Song and Yuan Dynasties. Among them, such as "Turning into Spring Rain to Moisten Flowers", "Qiu Linya Collection" and "The Best Time of New Autumn", they have all absorbed the charm of nature and created a real and sensible landscape, which is enough for viewers to enter, linger and savor.
There is no doubt that his painting style belongs to the classical traditional style, but once it is injected into the blood of life, it will glow with vitality, which is rare at present. Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the antique romantic poison has left a wide range of harm. Many antique people do not realize the essence of tradition, but only learn several methods of forming and dying. They don't understand the internal relationship between tradition and the times and the artistic development law of "pen and ink should follow the times" from their lives.
I think this is the most pertinent evaluation of Mr. Ma Shunxian.
