Wu Zheren's paintings do not care about the East and the West, in my opinion, his creations in Germany have always been between sensibility and reason. Just like the Zen monks who built a garden, first moved a few carts of stones, rolled up their sleeves, and used the power of the flood to throw themselves into a vacant lot at will, and then flipped up and down, opening the bow left and right. When the garden has its original size, it sits down to light a cigarette, meditates hard, manages rationally, and the garden is immediately accomplished.

Wu Zheren's works use uncontrolled sprinkling methods and very expressive colors and tones. I think this ingenious combination is rather the figurative and abstract informal position of painting and its time from the "second modern". Wu Zheren cleverly selected the words between them, consciously reflecting the differences in aesthetics, thus evolving into a new visual world.

Wu Zheren's works are full of innocence, original and natural atmosphere, and he uses new painting materials to achieve a non-deliberate visual tension of texture materials. It alludes to the effect between the pen and ink in traditional Chinese painting, and the effect between the controllable and uncontrollable after the touch of ink and rice paper, inadvertently revealing the oriental spirit in Wu Zheren's bones.

Wu Zheren's works have their own unique expressions in the face of solutions to new problems in the field of painting internationally. The work does not have the German expressionist style that we think of as a concept, but the painterliness of the current society, personal life, and unique perspective after interacting with the history of art. He alienated the human image and the human storyline, and used some iconic things of the real world to convey and pin his own fantasy imagination. As magical and transparent as it appears in a dream. The works are thick and innocent, and they are extremely artistically expressive.
