活的情趣,不使其僵化;要与自由书写相结合,使两者融为一体。曹建华君的绘画符号已经有个人面貌,有些作品匠心独运,生动有趣。他正在克服前一阶段某些作品中流露出来的语言过分程式化的倾向,不断完善自己的表现语言。从这一点看,他的探索精神也是可贵的。卢沉(中央美院国画系教授)1983年,我与北京画院一些画家赴敦煌,路过张掖。正在张掖文化馆工作的曹建华,陪我们参观,我们由此相识。那时,他才20多岁,刚从西北师大美术系毕业。现在,建华已是甘肃画院的专职画家,经常参加全国性的展览。九十年代开始,专攻山水,潜心营造自己的艺术天地。现代山水画家,除了临摹、研究传统山水技法,一般都经过写生训练,从写景、造景,进而造境。建华也是这么走过来的。建华较早的山水画,以水墨为主,比较写实,有统一的色调,苍苍茫茫,典型的西北风光。如1993年的《陇上记行》。后来转向符号化的造型,以强烈的色块对比为主,更注重画面 Lives of interest, do not make it rigid; to be combined with free writing to bring the two together.

At that time, he was more than 20 years old, just graduated from Northwest Normal University Art Department. Now, Jianhua is a full-time painter at Gansu Art Academy, often taking part in nationwide exhibitions. The nineties, specializing in landscapes, with great concentration to create their own art world. Modern landscape painters, in addition to copying, studying traditional landscape techniques, are generally experienced in sketching, writing landscapes and landscaping, and then create environment. Jianhua is also coming here. Jianhua earlier landscape painting, ink-based, more realistic, a unified color, vast gray, typical of the Northwest scenery.
