The prints wide range of topics, ingenious, flexible layout, style fresh, bright and full of decorative flavor and local interest. late style tends to simple, subtle and more important form of beauty. representative of the Spring Zhao algae Selected works quiet people, cultural influence of Chinese traditional family by painting teachers in primary and secondary age and the father of the writing of prescriptions, calligraphy and Chinese painting of a keen interest in school began to imitate his father, a prescription, practice calligraphy, calligraphy in primary school, to participate in Competition often rewarding. As with many Orthodox families, Zhao algae childhood love of art at first opposed by the family and stop, and good, although his father always scolded him, still an interesting experience fresh in my memory: the twenties and thirties, , raw black too busy to wash hands to hand wipe the matter. He repeated this copy, over time, from grinding beans on hand a large cocoon, talking about this, Zhao spread hands, still strong in this cocoon stay in the palm of the hand, as an eternal remembrance.

Tracing the source, Zhao algae wood complex story from an interesting beginning: Zhao algae junior high school art teacher is the Shanghai Art College graduate, he taught painting, teaching students carved stamps, bamboo is also engraved on the students to write couplets. Zhao pedicure Daoke algae tried it with a piece of Seed .1947, 16-year-old Zhao algae admitted with beautiful dreams of Suzhou Fine Arts College. where he was a hungry heart a shock: the principal Yan Wenliang Roman Homes office, he first saw a wood carving knife set. . The University of dreams.

stirring black and white woodcut yo, to the mother-side foot-washing water, to the mother feet. all know this is short-lived reunion, the reunion of a long day does not know, still do not know what the next time. Jane, but such a strong emotional expression has been complicated by the technique does not need to speak. This is the work of Zhao favorite one, he then copied several times, variant. an audience, did not understand the American political context in which the elderly mother's feelings for this move, a Swiss artist thought this piece from the separated East and West Germany. Art Without Borders, the reason is because the feelings of common humanity, is not fool people, you clearly do not move at precisely say that they moved, the work can be seen inside one. feelings can not make any false. >

idea is to open the key of life

breathe around their own things, and some experience can be directly formed on the screen. We said, 'ideological and artistic', 'thinking' first, 'art' in the post. with the eyes to observe with the thought it will not skip the wonderful life chromatic woodcut performance objective was not only blunt the copying phenomenon? how to sublimate the theme, also reflects the nature of life and spirit of the times it? Zhao after repeated scrutiny, careful observation of life, to experience life bit by bit, the final absorption of Chinese traditional paintings, illustrations and civil New Year's characteristics, in accordance with the plot to start mapping, which combines different time, different space scenes, simplifying complex shapes, simple shape enriched, natural and vivid seasonal harvest will be the grand unification in a screen to form a new performance form. screen bright festive colors from traditional folk painting, black background enhances the decorative treatment, a strong sense of the screen, showing a strong traditional Chinese flavor, to solve the problem of content and form, thereby creating a unique language.

By now he was still learning calligraphy, painting, decades has not been broken. currently involved in a to a maximum of: do not step in place, the next step will be able to reflect, we can give you a lesson. happiness.
