Zhaoming Wu is an accomplished painter and draftsman with masterful capabilities. The charcoal drawings of Zhaoming Wu contain air, light, character and style. He draws with fluency and superb understanding of light and the human form.
The more important point to make here is that at the center is a respect for high purpose in art and for those choices in life which support the understanding, the production, and the teaching of painting and drawing.
The drawings of Zhaoming Wu reveal amazing precision and self-control as well as lightness and certainty of touch. In his works all things seem to resemble each other and look as though they were made of the same substance created by the unifying power of a consummate artist.
