works description
Shen Guorong's works are permeated with quaint literati interest, It is not so much an oil painting as it is a distant and ethereal song. The picture of his works presents a jade-like warm texture, which seems to be light and strong. This oriental temperament and oriental connotation stems from his injecting Chinese painting style narration into the language of oil paintings, thus exploring an art path of his own .

Author's statement
Among the many trees, Cang pine is the most humane tree. I prefer to paint Cang pine, especially this time Cang pine has become the "protagonist" in my paintings. As the "protagonist", it is not a specific tree, but from my own observation of Cangsong's life style, my own observation of Cangsong's life space, and my own observation of Cangsong's true nature. To paint such a tree is somewhat of a tree that doesn’t look at the tree as a tree. Instead, I want to express the ancient form of Cangsong, the relaxed manner, and the radiant demeanor, while at the same time reflecting a bit of humanistic spirit, such as "vitality", such as "calmness." ", such as "after withering." However, on the screen, this feeling is still difficult to grasp completely, and it needs to be repeated. What is pleasantly surprised is that in the process of painting, I inadvertently discovered that the painted pine has a somewhat dragon-like appearance, and the look of the dragon suddenly brightened in my heart: "Cang pine transforms into a dragon"! As soon as this idea is transformed, there is a sense of entering another dimension, and the painting environment becomes abnormal-the spirit of the loose and the spirit of the dragon are combined and transformed into each other. Combination is a kind of tolerance, and transformation is a state.
