Evaluation of Mr Wu jiantang by the propaganda department of China news network;

The great Chinese dream era needs Mr. Wu Jiantang as an artist who advocates hard work, is brave in pioneering and dedicating! We also look forward to Mr. Wu's dedication to a new artistic feast for contemporary Chinese painting and calligraphy circles!

At the same time, I saw the capitalized person behind the painting. The charm of Mr. Wu's twisted strip painting lies in that his works incorporate his magnificent life, rich cultural background and sharp edge of thought, as well as the sensibility and passion of the writers and artists, which are permeated with bright colors of the times and rich life breath.

"Literature and art are the clarion call of the times, which can best represent the style of an era and lead the trend of an era." Generations of literary and art masters are not only "masters" who inherit Chinese excellent traditional culture, but also "big coffees" who carry out new cultural creation with heart, emotion and hard work on the basis of solidly inheriting tradition. Because of them, Chinese excellent traditional culture can not only stick to the "root" and "soul" of China, but also continuously integrate into the times and people, and the Chinese context can be passed down from generation to generation for a long time because of their efforts.

"Spring Treading"

Mr. Wu Jiantang is a famous artist who is deeply involved in the field of twistling painting. He regarded twistling painting as the flow of life all his life, and he worked hard in the painting art garden. While inheriting the traditional art of twisting strips, I deliberately pursue individuality, artistry, appreciation and sense of the times, and integrate various artistic styles into my own works.

Appreciating Mr Wu Jiantang's works makes people feel that every flower, grass and leaf in his paintings is a world, and they are full of poetic interest. His paintings not only contain traditional bone strength, but also blend the rich colors of western paintings, giving people a comfortable aesthetic feeling. Especially in twisted strips, his works reflect its unique artistic features.

In terms of subject matter, his twisted strip paintings are bold in color, and add scenes and things that people like to see and hear everyday, thus breaking through the limitations of traditional Chinese painting. In composition, he pays more attention to the creation of expressive and narrative space. In the technique of expression, he not only realized the line drawing in traditional Chinese painting, but also added freehand brushwork in an eclectic way. Emotionally, he highlights his inner elegant and peaceful aesthetic state of mind. Gradually formed his elegant and free-spirited, majestic, natural and harmonious painting style.

Many people in the art circle spoke highly of Mr. Wu Jiantang, and thought that he had drawn the essence from Chinese painting and western painting and transformed it into an artistic work embodying modern aesthetic ideas, and was an artist with high artistic attainments in contemporary China.
