**The works of the group are indeed looking at Western paintings from afar, looking at Chinese paintings up close, another outstanding feature is transparency, the slimy oil paint is woven into a transparent new outfit, the translucent effect is a unique style of Chinese rice paper, and the wind color that is unattainable in the West. **Qun's abstract paintings are not constrained by the concrete images of distant and near-sighted scenes, and he strives to pursue a far-reaching sense of space and the rhythm of concrete brushwork, which is the fullest play of depth and imagery.

SwarmsBorn in 1920 in Baitu Town, Xiao County, Anhui Province, in a family of doctors with cultural Xi, he entered the National Hangzhou Art College in 1935 to study Western painting, and graduated from the National Hangzhou Art College in 1941 (today's China Academy of Art). In 1945, he taught at the Department of Architecture of Nanjing ** University. In 1949, he taught at the Art Department of Taipei Normal University. From 1951 to 1955, he taught at Taiwan Normal University. In 1955, he settled in Paris and engaged in painting. He became a French naturalized citizen in 1980. In 1997, he was elected a life member of the Academy of Arts of the Académie Française. **Mr. Qun is one of the famous overseas Chinese artists today. He died in Paris in the early hours of March 26, 2014, at the age of 94. In May 1956, he saw a retrospective exhibition of the year after Starr's death at the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Paris, which had a great impact on him and became a turning point in his painting. He particularly appreciates Starr's sensibility, his free-flowing approach to painting, and the transparency of his images. It was the best modern exhibition he had seen since he arrived in Paris, and he was deeply moved. His inspiration to the ** group is the free attitude of painting. "Free-spiritedness" is so precious and difficult in painting. Free-spirited, it can make the picture lively, but overdone it can be brutal. 
Freedom but just right without losing connotation is a state pursued by art. Through the divine friendship with Starr, the creativity of the ** group was activated. Starr inspired the ** group, and he resolutely abandoned the classical realism style that he had already mastered, got rid of the constraints of the image of objects, and plunged headlong into the exploration of abstract art. 
He believes that abstract painting can better express the language and ideas of personal poetry on the picture. So he gave up figurative painting, and no longer painted tangible landscapes, flowers, birds, plants, and people. He expressed his dreams, outlook on life and feelings for the universe in abstract pictures. 
In France, the first group of people felt the true meaning of Western painting on the one hand, and further experienced Chinese aesthetic ideas on the other, and finally created a free and lyrical abstract painting with a unique style. His paintings are brilliant in color, blurred in light and shadow, and lead people into a world of imagery that transcends objective entities. **Although the group adopts the form of oil painting, it has won the essence of Chinese art, and has achieved the realm of self-integration with self-forgetfulness. He has successfully combined the two artistic traditions of the East and the West, especially the Chinese elements that make up the first group of paintings, making his paintings richer and more profound, presenting a poetic meditation on the world and a space that transcends the world. 
Although Qun has been in France for 49 years, the influence of Chinese culture he has received has not been reduced by the changes of time and space, but has more nourished his painting life. He feels that as a Chinese painter, he has the responsibility to carry forward the culture and history of his own nation. Literature can be translated, but painting cannot. Therefore, it is necessary to make one's works so that more people can appreciate and understand them, and not only retain the advantages of Chinese culture, but also absorb the advantages of other cultures. It is precisely because of this that the ** group is deeply respected by the French painting world. 
*Since the group switched to abstract style, it has entered the mainstream society of modern French painting with the momentum of breaking bamboo, and has become a new link in the chain of art connecting the East and the West. His creations are rooted in two cultures, but they have only one intention: to construct them with moving colors, and to let the paintings speak through their own wholeness and free brushwork. It can unite the body and mind, as well as space and light, as well as warmth and life. 
In Paris, ** Qun's works are created one by one, and he is far away from those popular schools, concentrating on Xi and creating a poetic natural space. Like any other Dutch, French, or Spanish painter, this Chinese painter calmly joins the ranks of world-class painters, freely expressing his feelings and venting his profound understanding. ** In the courtyard of his studio in Paris, he planted the common Chinese bamboos and cypresses, and he had two books that he could never finish reading in his lifetime: the whole Tang Dynasty poems and the whole Song songs. Chinese poetry is subtle, abstract, and cultural, and the artistic conception it creates is exactly the artistic conception he wants to convey in his paintings.
Wu Guanzhong once to"The big strings are noisy like torrential rain, and the small strings are like whispers".Describe the rhythm formed by the rhythm of the lines in the ** group of works;The interlacing and movement of dots and lines, combined with the light and darkness on the screen, form a melody that is like musical notes, which is rapid and slow, high and low. On the whole, the works of the first group are closely related to natural phenomena, especially light, and these are impressions that have been reflected on by the artist's mind.
The French art critic Piercabana once wrote:"Real paintings come from memories. "
* The group is a profound way to describe the past that makes him the most dazzling. It shows that the ** group's attachment to this world, the fragrance of this world, these lingering popular Xi, and those worldly disturbances are all the objects he wants to capture. **The group depicts the transparent air, cool water, wandering winds, rapid turbulence and early snow in nature. On the picture, there is often a pale rose-colored morning light or a fiery red sunset, and the light mysteriously wanders and jumps in it, which is the **group of works full of vigorous vitality**. He uses an exaggerated and lyrical approach to express a strong and timeless impression, which is at once dreamy and dramatic.
