On the banks of the sparkling Tongli River, the buildings, trees and three famous bridges on the shore: Jili Bridge, Taiping Bridge and Changqing Bridge, are reflected on the river, and Weng Kaixuan puts his easel on the sand and stones on the shore, capturing the passing moment.

The fragrance of books is elegant, looming in the calm gray and white, one after another bridgehead water towns, cultural landscapes, one after another. Zooming in to see those local subtle expressions, the principles of modeling and the treatment of brushstrokes, are freehand. A few concise strokes can express the relationship between the body. More importantly, it can convey the artistic conception. “Yi” refers to the “intention” of the spirit, the heart, and the psyche. This is Weng Kaixuan, member of the China Artists Association, director of the China Oil Painting Society, president of the Chongqing Oil Painting Society, and second-level professor of the Sichuan Academy of Fine Arts, the landscape oil painting “Ink Tongli Series”.
