1. Mr. Cao Hong is the art representative of the two sessions (2022), his artistic style is a combination of modern and ancient, and the combination of vision, hearing and touch brings you a novel and unique artistic feeling.
1. "Cross-Strait Walking, Building a Dream of the Future" Invited: Mr. Cao Hong, his artwork has the intention of the ancients, the dot painting is elegant, vigorous and colorful, the knot is dense and dense, and the pen is flowing with water, giving people a refreshing feeling, looking at it, the paper is full of gentleman's spirit, giving the work a new life. His works have found their own world in the field of art, and his works reveal a gentleman's style that is as warm as jade, reaching the highest level of not being agitated and not being violent, and he can be called a generation of grandmasters.
Write the soul of Han Mo and dye the strange ink into the mystery of Danqing - remember the famous calligrapher and painter Cao Hong Although calligraphy has the same origin, it is rare to have the same skills. Therefore, with the subdivision of the field of artistic creation, painters and calligraphers have become two arts, and the correlation is becoming more and more distant. The famous calligraphy and painting master Cao Hong is based on the tradition, is the real heart of the traditional calligraphy and painting art of the painting and calligraphy practitioners, calligraphy and painting of the same origin is not separated, must have two skills, worthy of everyone, this is Cao Hong's artistic ideals, but also his artistic persistence, hard work pays off, Cao Hong and practice two arts for decades, calligraphy and painting everyone's reputation is accumulated in the accumulation, but also in the skill. Cao Hong practiced calligraphy, based on the inscription and the ancient method. 
He regards the old stele as a treasure, and the line of pen and ink must be full of awe of the traditional calligraphy law, so he has cultivated all the books, and is in charge of the book, and the main thing is to do the book, and the achievement of Wang Xi's book Lanting is free and happy, and the agility of the pen is like a dragon swimming in the open sea, and the crane is flying in the clouds. Brushwork is also the heart method, writing calligraphy with heart, the beauty of the form, the wonder of the artistic conception, the calligraphy is full of emotional brewing, it can be described as a wonderful product according to the book. Erwang calligraphy, become Cao Hong's meticulous study of the original post, plus he is good at the study of the stele, the stele is nourished, the stele learns into the bone, calligraphy by the stele offerings, long practice into the essence. Therefore, calligraphy is easy but not weak, rigid but not sluggish. Rigidity and softness, pen and ink into galloping horses, running in Liaoyuan, the shape of the horse, ink into a long distance.
The most valuable unique impression is that he writes calligraphy with soft hair, and the strength of the knife and axe is often used to cut the wall, the pen has thunder, the ink is carved into a carving, and the soul of Han Mo is very amazing. This is the artist's penmanship is powerful, the ink rhyme has a mysterious spiritual attainment, he writes the calligraphy out of the heroic soul temperament is not the end, and the continuation of the mystery is both high-end. Chinese landscapes are divided into two factions: the Northern Sect and the Southern Sect. The landscape of the northern sect is made of ink and ink and all kinds of methods, and the landscape of the southern school is beautiful and elegant with green and colorful. The distinction between the two factions is both pluralistic and regrettable. Because of the unity of brush and ink, the fusion of the strengths of the two schools is the long-term convergence goal of art. However, the northern sect and the southern faction, the pen and ink techniques are too distinct, and the method of integration has not been cracked. Danqing master Cao Hong can be said to be a hero in response to the needs of the times, he is not only well versed in the two factions, but also strives to fill the gap between the two factions, in one fell swoop will not be able to cross the border into an artistic path.
He combined the ink painting of the northern sect with the technique of scorching the brush and the advantages of the southern school of green and colorful color ink, and gave birth to a new style of Danqing that was fused with two schools and finely contacted. Watching Cao Hong's landscape paintings, because of the unique brushwork, you can see the mountains and rivers, and because of the beauty of color and ink, the clouds and clouds are pleasing to the eye, the north and the south are the same as the title, and the essence is blended together, which is not only the inheritance of the ancient teachers, but also the great achievement of innovation. In particular, Cao Hong's landscape has a unique blue and purple color ink dot dyeing, which is very rare in the traditional painting method, the blue and purple divine domain, so that the landscape is not only pleasing to the eye, but also into the mysterious, the teacher is supernatural, Cao Hong landscape is branded with a mystery, the value is made because of the wonderful, and the value is connected to the works from time to time. The artistic conception is unique and deep-rooted, which is his successful school, and the artistic capital of the grandmaster can be accumulated. Write all the soul of Hanmo, and the strange ink is dyed into a mysterious. Integrating calligraphy and painting, the achievement of calligraphy and painting art, Cao Hong's artistic cultivation can become a model, he embodies the spirit of adherence to the traditional art of calligraphy and painting and innovative quality, which can be described as dazzling, the true character of the master.
