As one of the most influential contemporary Chinese ink artists, Lan Zhenghui has established a cornerstone for the Structural Expression of "Heavy-Ink-Wash"with his unique large-scale paper painting style of Mianshuxie. His artistic pursuit focuses on the exploration of a universal aesthetic structure that draws from the fusion of multicultural integration. His works are treasured by important museums, galleries, and private collectors around the world.Structural Expression is the essence of Lan Zhenghui's Heavy-Ink-Wash, and life consciousness is another important spiritual core of his work. What exactly is the essential role of art? It is this question that has permeated Lan Zhenghui's lifelong pursuit of creative exploration. In Lan Zhenghui's view, good art should not be constrained by external expectations. Society should not demand what artists focus on, critique, or praise certain things, because this would lead artists to functional expression, hindering their pure artistic expression. In Lan Zhenghui's eyes, art is to show the value and significance of life itself.
