in Chinese painting there is a painting called "fine brushwork", in addition to dozens of layers of halo dye color, the more the core of the effort, is to use a brush to outline a very thin and very uniform edge line, called the line tracing. This work set the wrist force and heart as a whole, not continuous Months and years pass by. repair, it is difficult to see the inside of the.

　　A large, graceful attitudes Zi thousands of flowers with the preparation of the real line. The application in metal BaiCaoYuan Chen in the three-dimensional space, the path in the countryside, in the courtyard of the four corner, quietly growth and fall, from the ordinary to the ordinary life, the most humble and weak are brought to the palace level, being tough.

　　From the perspective of the history of art, Zhang Songtao's line of flowers and plants is a modern form of. With carefully designed structure analysis of each of its stalk, each blade of grass, each flower from the artist's life, embodies the inner world of beautiful order. There is a kind of structure of both rich and pure aesthetics, in line outline, is implemented as a metaphysical vision engraved. Thus, the grass at this time, rose to an ontological height.

　　But, "herb" is not an abstract formalism. Enjoy the "herbs" must pay attention to every detail of it. The characteristics of the creatures that bend the wire. It is handmade, and it is a product of a craftsman's work. And grassroots power is in the production of this kind of detail slowly rising.

　　When you first saw several wire grass, you may only feel more interesting; when the next time you see, you may feel that it is touch; but when you next time to see to see more and more, you will imperceptibly by its power dip and over. Songtao focuses his attention on these small unknown life, focusing on the bottom of the life of Pyramid, which is in line with his temperament. This kind of wire weaving requires a great deal of patience and a steady hand to work, so they are postmodern. Strength growth that slow and tenacious in the spread of slowly moving out. This is not the kind of concept of critical power that is not the kind of great amount of visual impact, it is just a meditation type hold that is unknown to the public attention and praise, is the kind of equality from God's eyes.

　　"Corner" is "" herbal line tracing variant of a scene, the field of.

　　There were stones, moss, and even dew. The whole becomes more rich and complex, contains more samples of materials, more visual effects of contrast, more difficult materials processing and convergence technology. It looks more like a complete, compelling piece of sculpture.

　　But I will remember the original "herb" spread: remember that I did in 2012 Songzhuang Art Festival "as is" show, they are not worth mentioning the growth behind the prospect of enormous rockery stone and Jiang Jie pink in Utopia, Fu in the hope of wood tenon beside the well thick, in addition to those watching famous artists and works of eyes, only a few roots, rust......

　　Following the "as is" after the show, Greenfield played in nearly all the exhibitions I planned.

　　In 2015 Datong International Sculpture Biennale, Greenfield began to become less restless. It may be served as the Hubei Academy of fine arts and he is related to the director of the Department of sculpture. The quiet wire became a hot resistance wire! Burned with a crimson walk between the cement and glass snake. A kind of energy is to be injected or revealed, Songtao became dangerous. But "resistance makes energy into light," I wrote in the curator's notes in. In Datong and Yang art gallery open exhibition in the dark, it reminds me of Hanna Ahrendt's "Dark Age" of the people

　　But in Songtao character, such as smart and cool to show their energy and danger seems to be too publicity. So in the 2016 Taiyuan International Sculpture Biennale he came back a little adjustment, transparent glass into high temperature ceramics and concrete, electrothermal gossamer wrapped up, a bit like the surface of the earth began to cool into the history of the rock. The energy in the rock was dancing, formed on the surface of soil and even the growth of moss and real trees......

　　If it is, Zhang Songtao along the hand, structure, material, scenes, energy and spiritual path, from the bushes to us, and to the natural history and philosophy of life, turned away.
