"The fine materials, exquisite designs & craftsmenship of Chinese traditional clothing and the classical furniture have been inspiring me and are the objects which I long for depicting. Through the gentleness and beauties of ladies and together with the traidtional costumes, I use the realistic style of oil painting to present my sitters: making them look like to be in a relaxed, elgant and quiet natural world within my painting. Such a representation creates an obvious contrast to the modern impetous living space while enabling my audiences return to their ideal world." Hou Zhimin

Halas Lake is surrounded by snowy mountains, dark green forests and colourful flowers. What a wonderful scenery! Halas Lake is famous for its amazing colour changes of its water: sometimes is jade green, sometimes is sky blue, sometimes is pale blue and sometimes is milky white. These changes can happen within the same day! Its existences are like a piece of art work from nature.

"One can probably paint only what he has profound understanding upon. What I paint is deeply connected with my hometown in where I have spent my life. Nevertheless, I do not simply portray the scenery, but to convey the memory and sentiment buried deep down in my heart. It may stand no competition to other spectacular scenery, but to me, it has special meanings as this is the motherland that nurtured me and witnessed the footprints of my growth."

Wang's works profoundly reveal his affection for the simple life of his hometown. His use of gray expresses his real experiences in there. His works not only fill with his deep feeling but also show his hope towards his motherland.

Ladies depicted in Wu's paintings are always classical and elegant despite their different postures, facial expressions and the compositions of the paintings.
