Chinese painting is the art of line, the art of water and ink. Therefore, the rhythm of the line and the rhythm of the ink determine the rhythm of the picture and the mood of the picture. Cheerful, agitated, low, high, ethereal, and free are all in the thought of the "line", and the space for the line to express is because of water and ink. However, the melody and charm produced by the line relying on water and ink are not designed or deliberately created, but are natural freehand, and all of these are derived from interesting souls. So painters are basically funny and witty. Flower and bird painters are particularly serious.
Wu Hao's "Listening to the Rain" 138x69cm 2020 Ink
Wu Hao, a flower and bird painter, is a painter who stands on the line and dances, a painter who hides a lot of interest in his soul. Every stroke in his work is a funny story, and the lines in it are like the melody of the dancers dancing. The lines in the picture have twists and turns, setbacks, thickness, virtual reality, priorities, etc., and the freehand paintings of flowers and birds in the free transformation of the "line" have rhythm, rhythm, and pleasant interest.
Wu Hao's "Ode to Lotus", 138x69cm, 2020 Ink
Wu Hao's flower and bird paintings seem to be a few strokes, but they express infinite deep meaning. In this deep meaning, if you taste it carefully, you can find Wu Hao's cheerful mood when creating, as well as the ideas he wants to express. It can be seen in the ink lotus flowers he created that none of the strokes in it are deliberate and contrived, and none of them are designed and arranged. It is simple lines and dot dyeing of water and ink. However, the picture reveals infinite reverie and poetry. These are all from the heart, from the interesting soul of Teacher Wu Hao.
