La série de ville de monsieur Xucheng ZHAO, découvrir le chemin de mon nouveau style d’art de la Chine, je vois et senti le charme de peintur à l’encre contemporain de la Chine, je trouve un autre Mondrian par la ligne et la couleur de ses désins, l’expression de l’eau et l’encre m’amène dans une image de nouvelle ville de la Chine.

Le président d’invertissement d’art de credit Suisse Rogger André

    我被赵绪成先生的艺术创作深深吸引。这是我第一次看到如此富有现代气息的中国水墨。赵先生用画笔描绘了他对现代大都市的感悟。它们的色彩是如此迷人、炫目和鲜活。我非常欣赏。

——欧中经济开发委员会主席 管德庚

Je suis vraiment attiré par les œuvres de Monsieur ZHAO Xucheng. C’est la première fois pour moi de voir la peinture traditionnelle chinoise qui est si moderne. Il exprime son sentiment sur les métropoles avec son pinceau. Les couleurs chez M.Zhao sont charmants, éclatantes et vives. C’est un régal.

    赵先生的都市系列有别于飞天系列的飘逸灵动之神圣，用稚拙浑厚而坚定的线条和氤氲的墨韵光感表现出都市之于人类真实的存在感，以及越来越迅速的城市化发展所带给人们的高昂激情与空虚失落的两重生活体验。题材无论从天上到人间，赵先生都是用一种以小观大的方式表达自己的宇宙心灵和淡然的人生态度。

——北京798艺术区当代艺术策展人 杨璐

Different from the Feitian’s elegant spirit, Mr. Zhao’s cityscape series are created with thick lines, planes and diaphanous ink style to display the reality city presents to mankind and the two different life experiences of ecstasy and frustration the ever-changing city brings to human life. Whether the theme is heaven or earth, Mr. Zhao always uses a way of observing the big from the small to portray his universal spirit and calm attitude towards life.

Curator in Beijing 798 Art Zone

    赵老师的作品，十分注重于营造城市特有的光色视觉，并且着力在画面上以相对规整的色块和层次丰富、浸洇浮动的色彩组合成的“力态”和“情态”的互补结构，从而以一种极具创新意识的、既有对立冲突又深蕴和谐、既富有哲理又充满激情的动态结构产生出巨大的张力，让人们可以从中意会出城市的旋律和格调。这是一种用笔触和图形建构的城市，幻化出独具魅力的意境。

——华夏日报编辑 苏静

Mr. Zhao’s work emphasizes the composition of city light, focuses on color-blocking and rich layers and immerses flowing colors combined into a balance of “strength” and “emotion”, bringing an awakening of innovation. The inconsonant but harmonious, thoughtful but passionate structure creates enormous tension, allowing people to experience the melody and style of the city. This is a city created by brushwork and graphic construction, illuminating its unique charm.

    赵先生都市系列作品中光与影的结合可谓传统与现代的一轮时空。传统的彩墨线条与斑驳的块面组合追觅着都市发展的光与影，横竖畅神，笔笔达意。画面中的笔触分而为色，合而为墨，以墨作色，乃达众色之本。这批力作将带着我们一起游弋霓虹灯光下璀璨的文明，画中夜色，如明月之通透，不闪不耀，光照千秋！

——北京798赵绪成艺术馆艺术总监 尹冰

The combination of light and shadow in Mr. Zhao’s cityscape collection creates a both traditional and modern world. Colored ink lines and speckled block compositions follow developing cities’ light and shadow, freeing spirit and meaning in every stroke. The brushwork in the picture can be separated into color, joined into ink, using ink to color, is the height of coloring. This collection will take us on a journey under the bright neon lights, into brilliant modern culture. The night scenery in the paintings shines like the moon, casting a hue on time.

Yin Bing

Art Director of the Beijing Art Museum of Zhao Xucheng

    绪成道兄所作都市境象，足以真切的感受到画家之艺术实践完全得益于个人内心之体验，这种鲜活激烈具有挑战性的艺术梦境，在其独特的图式世界里得以充分之显现。在其作品中极富创造性之材料运用，极富动感的笔触，极富开放之布局，构成了和谐的交响。

——戊子冬於钟山食砚斋  宋玉麟

Brother Xucheng’s cityscape paintings makes people feel that his practice in art is completely derived from his emotions and experiences. The fresh, intense and challenging stage of art is fully exhibited in his unique world of paintings. The creative materials, strokes full of movement, innovative construction in his works compose a symphony of harmony.

    赵先生的画作张力十足写意并不失传统，缤纷色彩的光影交替中流露出中国城市建筑的现代感，充满了生命力。在传统的国画技法中融入西方绘画的体积感、空间感和光感，把中国画的神韵和西方绘画的客观表现相结合，赋予古老的国画新鲜的题材和表现手法。

——资深设计师 孙冀

Mr. Zhao’s paintings have a strong tension while not losing the traditions, city buildings in modern China are portrayed with life in the projection of exchanging colors. Combining western painting style of stereoscopic, space, and light with traditional Chinese painting skills, he integrates the charm of Chinese art with the objective performance of western paintings, giving ancient Chinese painting a fresh theme and technique.

    大面积的色块，粗线条的写意，画风犀利，色彩浑厚，突破传统水墨画作留白、渲染之桎梏，堪比当代中国的印象派塞尚。

——资深自由评论  杨宏伟

The splashes of color, energetic and swift brushstrokes break the traditions of leaving white on paper and rendering to the limit, comparable to the impressionist master Paul Cézanne.

Yang Hongwei

Senior Critic

    我们不得不佩服赵先生在艺术上的杰出天赋和豪迈气概。在整个中国画坛普遍平庸化、柔糜化的今天，他竟然用中国传统水墨表现现代都市夜景中的声、色、光、电。这是史无前例，前无古人的。他先用坚定的线条和墨色作大面积铺陈，再用饱满、粉亮、炽热的颜色在黑底上营造华灯初上的绚丽和流光溢彩的车水马龙，既给人以强烈的视觉冲击又给人以强力的心灵震撼，既富有装饰性，又不失绘画性和艺术内涵。“流光溢彩”、“光怪陆离”、“玫瑰的夜”等都是其代表。这种大胆的创意有别于刘海粟的逸笔泼彩，刘先生是基于一种随机的放肆，赵先生是基于科学与严谨之上的奔放与洒脱。当然这种严谨又不同于李可染的无微不至和小笔点彩。他是一种更具“丈夫气”的放笔直扫，是一种豪迈与开阔。这种墨彩图式与黄宾虹先生的浑厚华滋有交集但又走向不同终点，黄先生主要是在水墨的“其小无内”中挖掘做出了杰出的贡献，而赵先生则主要是在水墨的“其大无外”、“墨彩对撞、幻化”中做出了杰出的贡献，创造出了崭新的、开放的中国画新图式、新内涵。

——江苏省国画院评论家 刘筱

We have to admire Mr. Zhao's outstanding talent in art and heroic spirit. Different from today’s mediocre paintings, he unprecedentedly uses wash and ink to display the sound, light, color and electricity of modern city night, opening a new way in art creation. He first draws the contours with strong lines and ink, and then creates brilliant and dazzling night streets with bright colors on paper, decorative without losing artistic value, giving a strong visual impact and a spiritual shock. Paintings Brilliant Glow, Dazzling Lights, Rose Dream are representative of this style. Comparing to Master Liu Haisu’s free and casual style of splashing of color, Mr. Zhao’s bold and magnificent paintings are done based upon meticulous and scientific planning, while different from Master Li Keran's detailed and small stippling. His paintings are very powerful and bold, indicative of his “Machismo”. The style of ink and color paintings by Mr. Zhao and Master Huang converged but to a different end. Master Huang made a great contribution to the continuation of Chinese traditional painting, embodying the philosophy of "small with no inner", while Mr. Zhao has always served as an innovator to pursue the style of Ink Startles Colort in the most ideal way of “big with no boundary”. The pursuit of ink and color by generations of the finest Chinese artists, is ultimately realized in Zhao's work, and in his contribution to the modern renaissance of Chinese art.

Liu Xiao

Critic from the Jiangsu Provincial Chinese Painting Institute

    赵绪成先生赞美雄强、豪迈、生辉、壮丽，甚至是梦幻、狂野。他拒绝平庸，拒绝重复，拒绝不痛不痒，他总是情不自禁的以坚定、率直、挺拔的线条、墨块的骨架，完美的处理着那些几乎使人窒息的颜色，大块而狂野，率意而潇洒，那浓厚而梦幻的涂兰，深沉而性感的红漆，炫目而耀眼的桔黄，天鹅绒般神秘的黑，蓬勃而富有生命力的绿……那真是一席墨彩丰富的盛宴。

——江苏省国画院评论家 刘筱

Mr. Zhao Xucheng praises power, boldness, brilliance, magnificence, even fantasy and wildness and he refuses mediocrity, repeat and superficiality. With firm, blunt, straight lines and structure of ink block, he spontaneously demonstrates a most manipulation of ink and bright, wild colors blocks, showing a feast of colors. What a amazing ink startles color!

Liu Xiao

Critic from the Jiangsu Provincial Chinese Painting Institute

    从画展中我们可以看到江苏的画家对生活的热情和对中国画变革的努力。比如说从赵绪成早期的《小巷您早》到现在的《流光溢彩夜南京》都是紧贴着时代的作品，以前也是紧贴时代的，这个精神是继承的。这种探索，必然会出现高峰。但是这个探索还在继续当中，赵绪成的现代南京，是一个新的开拓、新的探索，而且他还起到一个示范的作用。

——美术评论家 李松

From the exhibitions of the painters from Jiangsu province, we can tell the passion for life and the striving for the revolution of Chinese painting. Take Zhao Xucheng’s early work Good Morning, Lane and his present work Spectacular Night Scene in Nanjing as examples, they embody the spirit of contemporary events. The ultimate achievement is inevitable with this kind of discovery, and it is still unfolding. The modern Nanjing of Zhao Xucheng is original and adventurous, exemplifying his new style.

Li Song

Fine Arts Critic

    比如中国美学就存在很大的问题，理论上有所创新基本上都是画家，中国美学理论都是为聪明人准备的，就是这些人学这些东西决不能按部就班，这是顿悟型的，一下子就通了，一通百通，这是一个很有意思的现象，但是我们必须去追求通，如果不通我们就有愧于这个时代，从这个角度我非常支持也非常拥护赵院长提出的理论命题，而且用这个理论命题推动时代发展，我觉得这也是赵院长的一个贡献，不但用作品来推动这个时代，而且用理论来推动，呼应这个时代。

——南京大学教授、博导，著名美术家 潘知常

There exists a big problem in Chinese aesthetic, and theoretical innovations basically always go to the painters. Chinese aesthetic theory is right for the smart artists, they never learn things step by step but mostly by enlightenment. Once you master one, you master all, which is a very common and interesting phenomenon in Chinese culture. It is our mission to pursue the innovation of art creation, and it would be the biggest regret we ever could have if we had not tried. And i wholeheartedly support and advocate Mr. Zhao’s original theme and theory, Mr. Zhao made a contribution to the development of Chinese painting both by his works and theories, echoing the era.

    赵绪成，我们从1988年以来就讨论水墨画的超负荷问题。赵绪成是敢于喊口号的，因为他确实是相当超前的、相当活跃，这跟他们的文化大省地位相关，画这批画，星光灿烂、灯火通明。我觉得艺术的禁区，我这个画种可以不去涉及，但如果我们不去实践，那是我们最大的失策。我们这批画家要不在这方面下功夫的话，以后就没出息。这次画展，赵绪成画新的内容，看到这个效果我很感动，我说好，继续努力，特别好。我们不能说这个禁区我不能动，这个口号我不能实现，我就画文人画、就画小品画、就画变形画、市场画等，我觉得江苏这些画家的着眼点远远比一般画家高。他的思维、对现实的认识、对艺术的理解，他所需要采取的手段，如何一步步达到、引导后进、引导年轻人，不管在画院贯彻好，还是在学院贯彻好，他的思考是一个实际情况，针对中国的当前实际。所以我看画展，特别高兴。作为一个领导，与他不是领导思考的问题就不太一样，既要保持艺术的超前，同时又不脱离中国的本土。

——中国画研究院院长 刘勃舒

We have been discussing with Zhao Xucheng the problem of the proliferation of Chinese Ink and Wash painting since 1988. Zhao Xucheng is well qualified to pontificate on this issue because he is very active, with a modern mind, influenced by growing up in a huge culturally developed province. His glittering and glamorous paintings, in my opinion are controversial in the arts field. It is okay if I am not involved in this discussion, but it would be the biggest mistake we ever could make if we had not tried. We certainly will be worthless if we do not exploit this opportunity. I am deeply touched when viewing the works with new ideas by Zhao Xucheng in the exhibition, and I say, it is very good, keep on striving, it is fabulous. We could not paint the works of the Southern School, Xiao Pin Hua, transform painting or market painting just because we are denied access to this field nor fulfill the objectives. I think the painters from Jiangsu province are much more broad minded than those from elsewhere. His concept, reinterpretation of reality, profound understanding of the arts and the methodology in the final achievement are to educate and guide the young generation. His new ideas go well with the current situation in China. It is important that we spread his ideas both in the academies and colleges. That is why I am so happy to support the exhibition. The way he thinks as a leader, varies from the way he thinks as an ordinary person, which is to internationalize the arts, while not losing sight of his home country.
