It is one of the most influential art awards in France and an international event that combines academia and exhibitions.

He has been deeply involved in traditional Chinese painting for nearly forty years. As a great freehand painter, he is very skilled in creating imagery paintings. On September 25, 2014, I was invited to the National Museum of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago to hold an art exhibition.

　　Spiritualist School of Painting

　　Text: Literary and Art Critic Zheng Yejun

　　Facing life, facing heaven and earth, facing the universe, facing time and space, everyone must think about their own existence, pondering the meaning of their existence to the universe, pondering the past and present, the east, west, north and south, pondering the changes of the four seasons and the passage of time, pondering the vastness of the sky and the wilderness, pondering who I am and where I am going.

　　A white horse passes by a gap, life is too short, the universe is vast, and boundless. If the mind is too lazy and the mind is not moving, and the soul always walks in place or loses its soul, then life is not very straightforward and monotonous, nor is it very boring and boring. We really live like a crowd and disappear from the crowd, and we really become a drop in the ocean.

　　Life cannot be fleeting! Let the sensation touch your perception, let the senses touch your brain, reach deep into the soul through the beautiful eyes, express metaphysical abstraction through metaphysical concreteness, and stimulate the power of thought. This is the direction of Zhao Yanbin's artistic creation in recent years.

　　His paintings, which are currently being diligently pursued and painstakingly created, are philosophical, dynamic, and contain his thoughts and explorations.

　　Thick and light, bold and reserved, bold and introverted, seemingly vast and hazy, but with a meaningful meaning. The more you observe, the deeper you think. This kind of painting makes your mind move.

　　His paintbrush has such strength, ability, depth, and breadth.

　　His paintings have thoughts, his paintings have souls, his paintings have heads that can be seen through but not through. His paintings are real paintings, big paintings.

　　This person is even more so.

　　I think, so I am here!

　　Looking at these paintings, that moment was very quiet, very distant. Watching painting is no longer just about looking at it, but about thinking. You enter the painting, then jump out of it, and enter a pure world that is no longer chaotic and colorful. You will hear the sound from the depths of your soul, truly feel your existence, and start thinking about life, heaven and earth, and the universe.

　　This world is much larger than what we see. These paintings are meant to convey this meaning.

　　The world, even if it is poor for a lifetime, cannot be seen, let alone go to the edge, let alone the universe. Liberate and stimulate your thoughts, activate your mind, and your world will no longer be the same as the past, just as vast as heaven and earth, and as vast as the universe.

　　Thinking of the leisurely nature of heaven and earth, I alone mourn and shed tears. After reading Zhao Yanbin's paintings, it's not necessary to do so, it's also possible.
