Mr. Zhang Guoping was born in Chongqing, where he spent his teenage years. The straightforward and heroic style formed by the environment and history of the Ba people is still permeated in every corner of the city. Zhang Guoping, who was born and grew up in Si, was contaminated by this folk custom, and naturally developed a temperament shared by the residents of this city. At the same time, Zhang Guoping also has an extraordinary 23-year military career. The infiltration of the environment in which he grew up as a teenager and the experience of this modern version of "Jin Ge Iron Horse" have had an inevitable and potentially lasting impact on Zhang Guoping's painting style.
In addition to thematic creations, Zhang Guoping also has a large number of ** figure paintings and landscape paintings. If the close-range perspective of thematic creation is to highlight the monumental image of the hero's main body, and also show the passionate and heroic side of Zhang Guoping's character, then the portrayal of these ** ordinary characters and landscapes reflects the other side of Zhang Guoping's character: enthusiasm and coolness. He uses such a compositional method to invite the viewer to walk into the situation expressed in the work and share his delicate and specific feelings.
The object depicted in Zhang Guoping's landscape paintings is nature, but it is not just a natural landscape that is intuitively seen, but an "art" created by "searching all the strange peaks to make drafts" and tempering the soul. Not confined to the scenery in front of you, not disturbed by the season, mountains, rivers, grass and trees can be deployed at will, and can be combined as you like. In his paintings, he can not only look down on the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, but also look up at the mountains and mountains of the motherland.
He has been working in the art for decades, traveled to the mountains and rivers of various countries, and watched Zhang Guoping's works, the mountains and rivers are magnificent, quiet and far-reaching. Colorful and elegant. Knowing that he is well versed in the true meaning of painting art, he has a deep perception of life and scenery, and each work is a natural expression of his personal talent and interest.
