216 - Painting

Liang Zuo has consistently pursued a refined and elegant literati painting style in recent years, integrating the panoramic compositions characteristic of Northern Song dynasty landscape painting. His works are serene and ethereal, distinguished by a purity and sophistication in brush and ink. Using only ink, he outlines and textures with delicate washes, evoking a sense of vast and elevated atmosphere. His subtle use of soft brushstrokes and pale ink is masterful, resulting in compositions that are rich and full, imbued with the charm of “mist veiled in silk.” The viewer is drawn into a dreamlike tranquility. Though his ink work is light and understated, it does not lack expressive power. Within the meticulous brushwork lies a sense of natural ease; within the deep and majestic mood, a clarity and elegance emerge. Liang Zuo’s art brings a fresh vitality to contemporary ink landscape painting. — Professor Zhang Jie China Academy of Art 左倞同学依存近年来追求的清淡雅致的文人画格调，结合北宋山水画全景式构图，作品清雅淡远， 笔墨脱俗，以纯水墨勾勒皴染，意境高远开阔，虚毫淡墨运用得体，画面饱满，有“雾锁纱笼”之意趣， 给人一种迷蒙静谧的感受，其皴染虚淡却不失表现力。笔墨细腻中见散淡，意境苍浑中见清逸。对当代 水墨山水画注入了新的活力。 — 中国美术学院教授张捷
