Chen Zhongzhi is good at figures and also draws flowers, birds and landscapes. One of the characteristics of his figure painting is the national style. He is a painter who is familiar with the tradition of Chinese painting. He not only mastered the techniques of freehand brushwork in painting, but also made an in-depth study of traditional painting in Han and Tang dynasties, and applied the indulgence and conciseness of literati painting to the creation of modern characters. Another major feature of Chen Zhongzhi's figure painting is that he combines the strengths of China and the West, and the traditional lines are well combined with western paintings. Shao Dazhao, a professor and art critic at the Central Academy of Fine Arts, once wrote: Since the fifth year? After Xu Beihong, Jiang and others, Chen Zhongzhi made outstanding contributions to the revitalization of modern ink figure painting.

1978, Shi Hu visited Africa 13 countries and published "Sketch from Africa" the following year, which caused a sensation in the national painting circle. Shi Hu's success lies in his creative and cultural courage in combining Chinese and Western painting traditions with various plastic arts, and his careful analysis of Shi Hu's visual schema has the original passion of African woodcut, the capture and misappropriation of cubism and expressionism, and the aesthetic purification of the oriental rhythm of China ink and wash art lines. Shi Hu is infatuated with China ink painting art and China plastic culture. Even in Sketch from Africa, he is full of expressive force and charm of oriental art lines.

Third place Tian Liming.

Among contemporary young and middle-aged painters in China, Tian Liming occupies a decisive position. His position lies in his completely traditional Chinese painting and his refreshing contemporary language expression.
Tian Liming's works are unique and unforgettable. This style is divorced from the traditional boneless method-it is diluted to the extreme and spread to all pictures in order to create a spiritual "sunshine" realm, which is hazy, quiet and quiet. In recent years, the method of calligraphy has been added to the painter's works, which has evolved into a pen-and-ink structure with calligraphy and painting. Tian Liming used traditional pen and ink to express modern concepts, highlighting personal feelings and fantasies, and at the same time made a unique visual interpretation of traditional concepts such as the unity of heaven and man, the doctrine of the mean, tranquility and far-reaching goals. The simple fashion and the calm and harmonious atmosphere between man and nature revealed in the works are not only the painter's personal experience and artistic style, but also the opportunity and portrayal of China's traditional humanistic spirit in the contemporary life situation.
The effect of introducing light and shadow into Chinese painting is unprecedented, and Tian Liming's exploration in this field provides a new possibility for Chinese painting.
