The life of Chinese painting is the expression of the language of brush and ink, at this point, Yang Bo realized very early, and for a long time the cultivation of Chinese brush and ink as a very important part of his daily study, so we look at each of his works on the arrangement of points, lines, surfaces, the level of ink color, the strength of the line, the handwriting of brush and ink are very good, he is very outstanding among young painters. This exhibition is a project of the Youth Innovation Support Program of the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles, and it is the establishment of this project that prompts Yang Bo to concentrate on creating such a batch of masterpieces, which is very rare. ”

Mr. Li Yi. Mr. Li Yi, vice president of Li Keran Painting Institute, professor of Renmin University and famous artist, said: "Yang Bo is a young man who is unwilling to be left behind, and his motivation comes from his love and practice of art. At the same time, he can also be content with loneliness, and can maintain the original intention of creation as always, and the sense of tranquility and long-distance conveyed by his works is commendable. Every time I see his new works at the exhibition, I can see the true character of his excellent traditional Chinese culture. ”

Mr. Zhou Fengjun.
Mr. Zhou Fengjun, consultant of Anhui Artists Association and vice chairman of Anhui Chinese Painting Society, said: "Yang Bo still has a certain talent in painting creation, and his personality can also sit still and keep this loneliness, so he has taken a more correct path from the beginning of his study of painting." Later, coupled with his own diligent research, he also developed a self-awareness of Chinese painting, and slowly formed his own brush and ink language. I hope that his future will continue to be down-to-earth and walk on thin ice!”
Director of Guangzhou Artists Association and Vice Chairman of Shenzhen Artists Association
Mr. Ma Shunxian.
During the exhibition at the Shenzhen Oriental Art Museum, Mr. Ma Shunxian, director of the Guangzhou Artists Association and vice chairman of the Shenzhen Artists Association, said: "I think Yang Bo is very fortunate to be born in such a scholarly family, and he was able to receive a very orthodox Chinese painting education since he was a child, so we can see his understanding of tradition, his understanding of the poetry of the Song people, and his understanding of the depth and connotation of the picture, which makes his works different and gives the tradition a new look." Therefore, from the treatment of waterfalls, steps, and houses in his paintings, you can feel that he has the atmosphere of the times. In the elegant transmission of the style of the picture, you will find that his treatment of his own aura is also unique, and the charm and depth of his heart are very worthy of all of us to experience, from his paintings, you can see the elegant beauty of traditional landscape painting, that kind of culture, that kind of elegance, and you can also feel that our contemporary people have an understanding of landscape painting, and an expression of innovation, so from his paintings, I feel that he has both tradition and novelty. I think it's very rare for an artist of their age. Today, when you see so many of his works of different sizes, you can feel that he has a very strong ability to control the picture, which is very worthy of our professional platform to study, and there can be more collectors to pay attention to such outstanding young people. Today's exhibition is also a young artist support project of the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles, and I think it is very commendable that it can be held in Shenzhen, and it also brings a breath of fresh air to our art world in Shenzhen. ”

Mr. Zou Ming, a distinguished researcher of the Chinese Painting Professional Committee of the China National Academy of Painting, a professor of Shenzhen University, an honorary professor of the Repin Academy of Fine Arts in Russia, and a famous artist, said in his speech: "I am very happy to see Yangbo's "Standing Mountains and Rivers" series of exhibitions exhibited in Shenzhen. Energetic appearance, Yang Bo's works I think have such several characteristics, one is a deep family history, his father Mr. Zhou Fengjun is also a famous painter, in the special life experience of that year, his father in our generation, as a very outstanding artist, won a lot of respect in the professional painting world, in this point I think Yang Bo is deeply influenced by his father, for him from childhood to the present, the subtle influence is far better than going to a university, this influence is inherited in the bones, it is very valuable; The second point is Yang Bo's paintings, there is a heritage of traditional Chinese painting, and there is a breath of contemporary ink painting, we look at his subtitle, Chinese landscape painting creation new expression, "new expression" I think this word is used very well, there is his personal thinking, we as people engaged in art, it is very important to have a spirit of free thinking, to have a kind of love complex, in this point, I think Yang Bo is very natural, but also very vivid. Yang Bo and I used to paint in Moganshan, I saw a young man, in such a difficult environment, how to paint a state, I think it is very valuable, there are today's achievements are not easy to come by, I hope to keep it. At this moment, I think of a gentleman who pays attention to a "copy" when talking about Western paintingAnd Chinese painting pays attention to "enlightenment", the enlightenment of consciousness, which is very different from Chinese painting and Western painting. This "enlightenment" is his spirituality, his spirituality includes a lot, including our people engaged in painting enlightenment, awakening, enlightenment, in this level of enlightenment has many meanings: enlightenment, self-awareness, society, life, nature, then this point requires wisdom, in this regard, I think Yang Bo is a wise young painter, so I think their paintings are terrifying, the future can be expected!”

Ms. Zhong Fanfei.
Ms. Zhong Fanfei, Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors of Shenzhen Oriental Ginza Group and Founder of Oriental Art Museum, said in her speech: "The artist Zhou Yangbo studied at the ** Academy of Fine Arts and the Chinese Academy of Arts. Whether it is a huge work on the first floor or a variety of works in the exhibition hall on the seventh floor, it not only highlights the great atmosphere of Chinese landscapes, but also conveys the new style of contemporary landscapes. He has long embodied the deep and mellow quality in the creation of landscape painting, and he has shown a good traditional cultivation with pen and ink, and at the same time, he is a painter who can be content with loneliness, which is not easy to achieve, and it is rare to achieve these achievements at a young age. As the second stop of this series of exhibitions, Mr. Zhou from the Hebei Literature and Art Center to our Oriental Art Museum, and then to the Gansu Provincial Art Museum next month, I believe that Mr. Zhou's works can conquer the majority of calligraphy and painting lovers with their strength, so that everyone can feel the prosperity of contemporary landscapes. As the organizer, we are willing to make a modest contribution to China's cultural undertakings and deliver Chinese beauty to the worldIn this exhibition, several of Zhou Yangbo's works are specially presented in the same way as contemporary installations: the purpose is to allow the audience to get closer to the picture and feel the charm. The exhibition location is also quite ingenious, he will "landscape" to the lobby, close to people's side, better "down-to-earth", better into the surroundings of contemporary people, into the world of young people, so that more young people feel the vitality and appearance of traditional landscape works. 【Wonderful tidbits】
