Features: Wu Xingliang's watercolor paintings rarely rely on the novelty of subjects to replace the ingenuity of their conception. Instead, they infuse his unique feelings and deep emotions into common scenes. His works do not focus on large-scale compositions but excel in medium shots, with many close-ups. His watercolors are expressive and unrestrained, much like the charm of Chinese freehand brush painting. His artistic style is simple and rustic, with a full use of water yet avoiding frivolity, revealing a spiritual essence in the interplay of colors. Wu Xingliang is both a watercolorist and a scientist, having led multiple projects funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China, published over 100 academic papers, and authored several scholarly works such as A Illustrated Guide to Chinese Gastrodia. He has been awarded the Provincial Natural Science and Technology Progress First Prize (ranked ) and Second Prize (ranked ) by the Provincial Government. He is a provincial-level expert and enjoys the special allowance for government officials with outstanding contributions from the State Council. This book collects his years of creation and teaching demonstrations in watercolor still life and landscape paintings. The works in the collection are refined, fresh, bright, and poetic, offering viewers a profound appreciation of beauty.
