For contemporary painters, there is nothing more important than whether their works are individualistic. They invest more time and energy into developing their individuality, resulting in an unprecedentedly diverse art scene. In terms of imaginary oil painting, this art book is the second collection of works by young oil painter Zhang Dalin and also a reaffirmation of his artistic individuality. In recent years, he has insisted on his own path, emphasizing the concept of "imaginary shaping" that highlights the active spirit of the subject in his creative consciousness, while pursuing a visual aesthetic that fuses the expressive spirit of Chinese painting with the expressive consciousness of modern Western oil painting.
