Features: Lai Chusheng excels in calligraphy, seal carving, and painting. He is skilled in all four styles of calligraphy—regular script, clerical script, cursive script, and running script—and is particularly renowned for his clerical and cursive scripts. His regular script inherits the legacy of Zhong Yao and Wang Xizhi, with a spacious and unrestrained structure and rich variations in brushwork. His seal script is heavily influenced by Wu Changshuo and Deng Shiru, characterized by thick, rustic, round, and seasoned brushwork, with a vertical structure that avoids the habit of tilting horizontal strokes. His running and cursive script draws inspiration from Huang Daozhou, Ni Yuanlu, and Wang Feng, and is also influenced by Pan Tianshou. By exploring the essence of renowned masters, tracing their origins, and blending, integrating, and reconstructing, he enhances the rhythm of emotional expression. His clerical script begins with Deng Shiru, Jin Nong, and Zheng Lan, then draws nourishment from Han Dynasty steles. Through his research on Han bamboo slips, he uncovers the key techniques of brushwork in clerical script, shifting from steles to Han bamboo slip clerical script, thus creating multiple styles in his clerical script creations.
