The cantaloupes in his works are big and beautiful, with bright colors and strong texture. Wu Qifeng, chairman of Xinjiang Artists Association, commented: "Mr. Wang Shichang is a famous flower and bird painter in Xinjiang. He respected tradition, dared to find another way, made innovations and breakthroughs in the application of pigments and the expansion of painting themes, and formed his own unique artistic expression and style. Mr. Wang's works are full of naive and rich life interest and simple pastoral flavor. His resume has been included in China Dictionary of Famous Painters and Calligraphers, China Directory of Painters and Calligraphers, Album of World Famous Painters and Calligraphers, Selected Works of China Artists and China Dictionary of Contemporary Art Leaders. 1965, Wang Shichang bid farewell to Tianjin and went out to Yangguan in the west. When he arrived in Xinjiang, he was attracted by the melon and fruit world here. The sweetness of cantaloupe, grape and pomegranate made him fondle admiringly, and he couldn't help but pick up a brush and splash it on rice paper. Taking advantage of practicing medicine abroad, Wang Shichang extensively visited cantaloupe orchards and vineyards in Xinjiang, made in-depth and detailed observation and research on cantaloupe and grapes, and artistically processed different varieties of cantaloupe produced in Xinjiang. In the process of painting cantaloupe, he refined his feelings into rational sublimation, and then created according to his own aesthetics. Therefore, the cantaloupe in Wang Shichang is both physical and mental, radiant and three-dimensional. Wang Shichang is a painter with a deep traditional foundation and the courage to innovate. He integrated his strong feelings for fruits and vegetables in the western regions into the traditional techniques of Chinese painting, so his Chinese paintings were full of life consciousness. Wang Shichang believes that painting should emphasize artistic conception and poetry, draw backbones, draw expressions and draw figures. After a piece of rice paper is laid, the overall composition, light and heavy density, and primary and secondary importance should be well known. Small paintings should be painted into big paintings, and the small ones can see the big ones, which embodies the connotation of winning more with less and controlling complexity with simplicity. We should not make the situation and momentum smaller because of the small space. A big painting should be painted into a small painting, which should run through the whole process, be small and medium-sized, rigorous, closely related and stand up to the sight. Small paintings are the most taboo, and big paintings are the most taboo. The highest state of composition is simplicity and generosity, with endless unspeakable meanings, which makes people think and think, and then understand. Painting has its own face. If it is always a face, it will make people look bored. Wang Shichang is well versed in it and skillfully combines cantaloupe, grape, pomegranate and Saussurea involucrata into colorful pictures. They get together in love, show their charm, and play the cantaloupe of Xinjiang, which has become a feature of Wang Shichang's paintings, and people can never get tired of watching it. In order to draw cantaloupe well, Wang Shichang referred to the thousand-year experience of Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes murals and made use of his expertise in Chinese herbal medicine. After repeated exploration and experiments, he finally succeeded in developing a "preservation method" for calligraphy and painting works, which made his Chinese paintings bright and never fade. Wang Shichang is mixed with some Chinese herbal medicines (such as pearls). ) into the pigment, and he painted the cantaloupe is very heavy, outstanding texture, full of water, giving people a good visual effect. In order to draw a satisfactory cantaloupe, Wang Shichang had to go through more than 20 complicated processes, just like an embroidered woman's embroidery. Wang Shichang's pursuit of art is unremitting. He believes that it is not enough to draw cantaloupe with strong spirits, but also to draw it with both image and fragrance. He is trying to explore this aspect. Sincere stone opens, and the fruit of labor is sweet. Wang Shichang's paintings and calligraphy works continuously flow to home and abroad, and are collected by Chinese painting lovers in the United States, Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia, Europe, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew bought a Chinese painting by Wang Shichang as a souvenir of his trip to Xinjiang. Many of his paintings and calligraphy works have also been collected by some museums and memorial halls at home and abroad, and his name has been included in various dictionaries of painters and painters at home and abroad. We sincerely wish others a long life. We sincerely hope that his melons will grow fragrant and his paintings will be more beautiful.
