"My hometown is under the Qilian Mountains in the west of the motherland, and the mountains and rivers in the west are rooted in my blood, and I want to focus on expressing the unique external landscape and spiritual connotation of the west from the paintings." Draw nourishment from the paintings of predecessors, and seek and draw advanced expression techniques from the excellent contemporary paintings. I will strive to form my own unique artistic expression style, focus on creating my own 'western painting style', stick to the land under my feet, and then use my sensitive heart, innovative thinking, and diligent hands to create a 'sign landscape' art world of my own. Guo Zhengying said.
As a descendant of the Yugur people, as a painter from the west, Guo Zhengying is destined to have a unique artistic endowment, his images of snowy mountains, rivers, deserts - figures, landscapes, animals and other images, his majestic and powerful picture appearance has been brightly distinguished from ordinary works, surging with a primitive and uninhibited emotional torrent, containing a kind of pure and thick uncarved nostalgia.
Walking into Guo Zhengying's western landscape paintings, we seem to have walked into the land where our ancestors once ran, and felt the mysterious silence from nature and the tranquility of the depths of the soul, the vast mountains, the vast desert, the magnificent poplars, the ethereal clouds, the lonely long wind... These natural traces of the western mountains and rivers are familiar but unique, and in the painter's brush, they are imagery symbols that gradually fade away from the traditional landscape painting program and have unique local characteristics.
