He is a deeply contemplative painter who adopts the lofty landscape concept refined by the Song people and the inheritance of the Chinese landscape spirit, and deeply thinks about the relationship between the art of landscape painting and the secular aesthetic tendencies of the real world. ——This is the well-known painter Mr. Zhang Xiao.

Looking at Zhang Xiaoshan's landscape works, I have to mention his brushwork - the method of painting, the horizontal points full of ink, the dense points of the mountain, the splashing of ink, the breaking of ink, and the dense small ink dots that cover the entire picture.

"Raindrops" is a rice bowl during the Northern Song Dynasty, and The father and son of Mi Youren were created to show the changing clouds and mist between the mountains and rivers in Jiangnan and the confusion of smoke trees. When the "raindrops" reached the hands of Zhang Xiao's painter, they were used to depict the thick majesty of the northern mountains. With his solid artistic foundation and high artistic accomplishment, the painter has given a new cultural image to the raindrops.
▲Zhang Xiao's "Morning Dawn II"
In the art of painting, Zhang Xiao let us see the "real", but also feel the existence of "virtual", let us feel the beauty of the mountains and ravines in his picture, in the sky of the clouds and peaks, in the depths of the rainy mountains, in the presence or absence of mountain colors. Looking at the treatment of the illusory places of his landscape paintings, the smoke and mist are like rain over the mountains, and the air is filled with faint thousands of thoughts.
▲Zhang Xiao's "Autumn Evening in the Mountains"
"When I was a teenager, by chance, I came into contact with painting, and because I liked it, I never put it down. Painting is a lifelong thing, there is no shortcut, no smooth road, no end, once it starts, it is a lifetime. Although this road is very difficult, but also enjoyable, I feel that as long as I can stick to what I like to do, it is a kind of happiness, I will continue to go on, my life, with his end of life. Mr. Zhang Xiao said so.
