+ OVERVIEW

Flowers was completed in 1982 in the form of a long scroll. Excellent control of brush was used on plum blossoms, orchids, chrysanthemums, bamboo and daffodils. Boneless technique used on the flowers resembles the techniques of Song dynasty with a vivid expression. Light colours enhanced the harmony of the whole work. Sun Yun-Sheng once mentioned that his style is loyal to Wang Xue-Tao’s boldness, which was one of the styles branched out from Zhang Da-Qian’s teachings.
