Catalogue Note:
As early as the beginning of 1990, Zhou Chunya had begun the creation of his "Flower" series. Flowers have been a traditional motif for Chinese artists to express in their works. Zhou Chunya recreates this concept in his "Flower" series. In the work "Branches with Flowers", Zhou Chunya has integrated the language of traditional Chinese painting with western sketching. Most importantly is that he has adopted a totally different technique. He has used the expression technique of liberal strokes, fully demonstrating his bold and broad style of expressionism. In Zhou Chunya's painting, flowers, the traditional Chinese theme, presents charming glory under the aura of Western painting skill, realizing a perfect integration of Chinese and Western painting languages. Additionally, Zhou Chunya's bold color application and his expression mode of liberal strokes complete each other. Both color and composition present a bold and mysterious sense. Such innovative and bold artistic creation has reached an extraordinary effect. In Zhou Chunya's view, form and color of such non–mainstream works align with his disposition. With his "uninhibited traits" he constructs traditional humanistic paintings that are "warm and introvert".
