Abstract: Since the 1990s, Pu Guochang has been continuously focused on exploring and innovating ink painting art. His creations integrate Eastern and Western artistic traditions with modernism, constantly breaking through and innovating in form and content, forming a unique personal art system.

His works are innocent and free spirited, full of childlike charm, and contain profound philosophy and meaning of life, reflecting the harmonious relationship between humans and nature, and humans and society. Pu Guochang not only has originality in brush and ink skills, but also constantly explores the multidimensional relationship between humans and the world in artistic content. His artistic practice demonstrates a passionate pursuit of life and a profound reflection on the essence of art, injecting new vitality into contemporary Chinese ink art and becoming a model for integrating tradition and innovation.
