Features: Wu Guannan's way of thinking about art and his perspective are unique. He integrates his life experiences and discoveries into the text of his paintings. Compared to works deeply rooted in traditional principles, his "method of no method" brings vitality and freshness, even a lively and vivid sense of form. In contrast, works deeply rooted in traditional principles often suffer from unavoidable choices of principles and a lack of liveliness, resulting in a lack of organic wholeness in art, especially a lack of the vividness and relaxation of genuine perception and inspiration. Therefore, Wu Guannan's works have their own advantages. Unshackled from the constraints of principles, his brushwork, ink application, and color composition always adhere to the overall artistic structure, subordinate to emotions, and are constrained by temperament, thus achieving spiritual freedom and artistic freedom. Wu Guannan consciously explores and establishes the conscious style of his flower-and-bird painting art, which is undoubtedly a valuable and courageous exploration. He is creating his own artistic language and style, creating his own art, while also participating in the construction of the modern form of Chinese flower-and-bird painting in his era.
