The work elaborates

Zhang Yongsheng's abstract paintings, the colors are mottled, strong and saturated, and the picture Light and color are intertwined and transformed into each other, presenting a peculiar visual effect, giving a strong and perceptual aesthetic characteristic. However, this seemingly perceptual visual language actually originated from the artist’s very rational thinking—he infused life experience and creative passion into the material language, repeated deliberations, layer upon layer, and made it beyond the eyes of people. Spiritual power.

I use the "Tao" thinking to create abstract painting paths

My creative thinking in painting comes from right The perception of "Tao", I understand that "Tao" is the origin of the development and change of everything in the universe, the law of operation in the development and evolution of a thing, and the embodiment of the essential phenomenon of things. The phenomenon of painting cannot deviate from the laws and laws of Tao. In the process of creating the "Light and Color" series of works, I fully used the principle of "Tao", rationally sorted out the path of the phenomenon of painting, and determined that the essence of painting is "visual" and "color". The relationship manifestation of the phenomenon. And through the medium of "light", the color is transmitted to the human visual nerve center, which gives the human brain a color visual response. I use the visual law of "light and color" to create, and rationally think about the color visual path of painting, conform to the color rhythm of the picture, and complete the "light and color" series of works one after another, so that the picture of the work is presented. The visual effect of natural form, harmonious color, overall picture and structure just like natural charm. I have constantly discovered the peculiar phenomenon of the "illusion" and "color and light" that color has on vision. Through the exploration of the "color and light" phenomenon, I have gradually discovered the law of the effect of "color and light" on vision, which has increased my interest in painting. Enthusiasm and interest in exploring a phenomenon from its essence. I create paintings from a personal perspective, as far as possible from my own cognition, direct experience, and expounding the expression of painting, so as to exclude the influence of painting theory, and create purely individual paintings that show the special phenomenon of abstract painting. It also reflects the unique expression path of the essence of "light and color" painting.

Zzzz11 My abstract painting creation is based on the process of painting under rational thinking. In the first step, I use abstract thinking to find the inner logic of things, explore its laws and reveal its essence; in the second step, I express and present the core of things obtained by abstract thinking in image thinking.

started by combing the concept of abstraction, and determined that "abstraction" is the separation of its appearance, and the process of refining its essential laws. And determined "light and color" as the viewPerceive the essence of art, and then use simple natural cognition to explore "light and color" in depth. And determined the path of in-depth and detailed exploration of the essential phenomenon of "light and color". Observed and understood the relationship between "light and color" from the perspective of painting, and created nearly 300 abstract painting series.

I hope that through the exploration of the essential visual laws of color, humans’ intuitive description of light and dark, light and shadow of objects, and an in-depth exploration of the visual abstract path of "light" and "color", to find a new expression path for "light" and "color" . I use all the methods I can use, as far as possible to use the strong contrast changes produced by the "monochrome" color, express the rich visual effects of the creative picture, look for the visual and intuitive law of "color", and explore an unknown and my own work. The visual path system of "light and color" of abstract painting.

observes and understands the relationship between "light and color" from the perspective of painting. This expression of "light and color" is a complete process that conforms to the law of development and evolution of everything in nature. The "color and light" phenomenon captured by

in the painting process continuously guides me, they disturb my visual nerves, and take my soul to think and feel. I seem to have seen an unknown illusory world. This world is art. It is true, illusory, and wonderful.
