Features: Liu Zonghan's works embody a cultural lineage rooted in ancient traditions. The landscapes he paints are imbued with poetic naturalism. His compositions are grand in scale, with a majestic and harmonious, presenting a spectacular modern landscape painting scene and the maturity of a bold and imposing style. In his depictions of mountains and waters, the artist captures the most captivating elements in a panoramic manner. Through simplification, subjective control, emotional infusion, and technical refinement, he creates a magnificent and awe-inspiring realm, sweeping away the traditional "corner" and "half-side" approaches in landscape painting, as well as the sparse and desolate remnants of mountains and waters. This is the most outstanding quality of Liu Zonghan's works. With his creations, he strikes a powerful chord of the era's spirit, making significant efforts to transform traditional Chinese painting. As a result, he has reaped mature artistic achievements. By combining external aesthetic forms with internal structural elements, Liu Zonghan has established his unique textual landscape paintings. They are simple, rustic, natural, and moving, conveying a profound cultural depth while expressing modern aesthetic sensibilities. In conveying specific aesthetic forms, they reveal his vision, ideals, and pursuits. Especially his original brushwork language—“Vegetation Cun” (plant texture)—adds vitality and endless meaning to his works.
