Zhou Chao's noble spirit of paying attention to landscapes, flowers and birds, studying calligraphy and painting, being studious and enterprising, not afraid of hardship and fatigue, striving for self-improvement and perseverance made his fellow travelers feel admiration. He studied under many famous painters and painters and was trained by them to create many beautiful Chinese paintings. Secondly, Zhou Chao is also a generalist. He inherited the essence of a hundred schools of thought and was full of innovation. He absorbed many artistic essences such as Chinese painting, oil painting, water lantern pastel, meticulous painting, calligraphy, etc., and organically integrated various artistic expression techniques into his works, making his works flourish from ancient times to the present, making bold attempts and explorations in his creation, and forming a set of his own artistic painting language on the artistic road.
Zhou Chao's landscape paintings are also very individual. The representative work "Time in the Deep Mountains of Yun Qi" was selected in the "First Shandong Landscape Painting Academic Exhibition", which stood out among the themes of landscape painting of China Northern School. He has become one of the most famous landscape painters with appreciation potential since 1970s. On the basis of learning from the ancients, nature and nature, he devoted himself to the innovation of landscape painting and endowed his works with poetic artistic conception. Pen and ink are the true embodiment of landscape. Zhou Chao's pen is arbitrary, and his works emphasize emotion and ink, which makes people always stay in the realm of nothingness and tranquility, making people feel boundless, deep and quiet, but at the same time, it is heavy and colorful. When the pen fell on Yun Qi, the ink turned into smoke, seeking the mystery of Zen and the spirit of life between reality and existence. Even a blank space is a wonderful place.
Zhou Chao's flower-and-bird paintings, like the fragrance of the four seasons, make people stop and linger. The season has a melody here, and flowers and plants have a lasting appeal here. His flowers and birds bring a natural rhythm when we rush about in high-rise buildings and foggy life. This natural rhythm, without distinction between ancient and modern, is the sublimation of the mind into a realm of greater self. We heard the natural footsteps passing through time from swaying branches and blooming flowers, and felt simple and touching feelings through the superimposed symbols of civilization. These symbols passed through time and were stained with the imprint of time.
Zhou Chao's paintings, whether landscapes or flowers and birds, give people the first impression of beauty, with a lonely and elegant rhythm and a sudden look back, and rhyme in it. He did not blindly seek innovation and change, but returned to the original artistic spirit-describing beauty, expressing beauty and making the mind interesting with nature. Along the way, I completely integrated my emotional concept into my artistic creation. The concise and free language endows her works with profound artistic connotation, which makes her works become the "spiritual home" of modern aesthetics. This is rare in today's painting world.
