Cao Changsheng: Graduated from Tianjin Academy of Arts and Crafts, studied at the Graduate School of Chinese Art, is a member of Tianjin Artists Association, and is a painter in Jia Youfu Studio of China Academy of Arts.
Over the years, Cao Changsheng has created a large number of landscape paintings with the theme of Taihang Mountain, and has gone deep into Taihang Mountain for many times, and has created a number of sketches with his personal feelings for Taihang Mountain, exploring the broad and majestic and profound spiritual connotations of Taihang Mountain, and creating a number of sketches with the breath of Taihang Mountain life and full of the author's spiritual feelings.
Cao Changsheng's landscape paintings embody a kind of natural feelings and landscapes, and the physical image, composition pattern and meteorological context in his landscape paintings are all based on the state of nature. Perhaps he thinks nature is the most harmonious and wonderful. Perhaps he had never thought about this in the first place, but it was a subconscious instinct, and there was a love of nature in his bones. He transforms his love of nature into the form of painting through refinement, and his landscape paintings present the spirit of natural ecology, exuding a natural disposition of ease, blandness and leisure. What comes out of his heart is the praise of the nature of nature and the beauty of nature, and his emotions are completely immersed in the state of natural beauty. The Spiritual Tao is based on the beauty of nature and returns to the beauty of nature. The smoothness and integrity of it, the enjoyment and sustenance in it, is completely a realm that blends with nature, without embellishment, without pretense, and is vain in truth and purity. Out of pure heart, in the way of nature, beautiful in simplicity. What kind of thoughts and feelings is that he treats the heart of nature as a child's love for a mother?! I thought that man's heart knew it, and that his instincts would have such an emotion for nature. For nature is the mother of us human beings and all living things, and everything about the mother is beautiful and wonderful.
