Features: Wang Cunde's works draw from a rich variety of sources, blending both Eastern and Western aesthetic traditions while also conducting fruitful research in techniques. However, the most important point is that regardless of which side or ethnic group, despite differences in language, script, customs, diet, clothing, and other aspects, the longing for happiness, the praise for life, the reverence for nature, or the affirmation of all things are consistent. Therefore, the broad masses of the people naturally demand equality, naturally cherish peace, and eagerly seek development, and naturally fight tirelessly, even at the cost of great sacrifice, to pursue and achieve the ideal of truth, goodness, and beauty. Wang Cunde's creative aspirations align so perfectly with the inner desires of the people that he disagrees with racial discrimination, with the strong oppressing the weak, and with promoting falsehood, evil, and ugliness that contradict human survival and development. In his works, he deliberately showcases the beauty of the East, the beauty of the West as seen through the eyes of Easterners, the beauty of the majority ethnic groups, and the beauty of the minority ethnic groups. Each ethnic group expresses the same beautiful aspirations in different forms, allowing viewers to engage in heartfelt communication without the need for translation. Wang Cunde's decision to depict the living conditions, joys, sorrows, and emotions of people, whether they belong to China or Australia, or whether they are from the majority or minority ethnic groups, stems from his principles as a person and an artist. The content of Wang Cunde's works is also extremely rich, including historical figures and stories from China, customs and cultures from abroad, series of life scenes from minority ethnic groups, and the four seasons of beautiful natural landscapes. His works are imbued with a deep attachment to the fine cultural traditions of his homeland, as well as a respectful and humble approach to studying the alternative cultures of the countries where he has resided. Through diligent effort, he has accumulated such a vast body of works—like the stars in the night sky, each shining with its own unique brilliance—leaving modern viewers overwhelmed by their splendor.
