身为中国美院副院长、造型艺术学院教授，王赞的作品以往常常以大尺幅出现在各个展事上，也只有在那种阔大的公共空间中才能显示出这些作品撼人的视觉力量，《辛亥七十八祭》、《1923年——冰心》、《血浓于水——白求恩》等等，作品往往命题感、使命感极强；此后，王赞又行走于狭小画室之外，把视线投注在少数民族的生活和风俗上，作品《高原红》、《眷念可可西里》中的人物硬朗、粗犷和张力，让你感到这就是海拔5000米以上的生命。而本次在杭州恒庐美术馆举办的展览，画家似乎更愿意向观者展示他更新的探索，即更趋于“崇真”、“尚趣”的文人写意品格。《春色上罗衣》、《梵树落菩提》、《瀑落风满涧》等等这些新作，与其说是充满了梵音禅意，还不如说是作者对传统文人画另辟蹊径的实验。

As Vice-President of the Chinese Academy of Fine Arts and Professor of the Institute of Plastic Arts, Wang Zan's works used to appear in large-scale exhibitions, and only in that vast public space can they show the striking visual power of these works, "The Seventy-eighth Festival of 1911", "Bingxin 1923", "Blood Thicker than Water - Bai Qiu" En and so on, the work often has a strong sense of proposition and mission; after that, Wang Zan walks outside the narrow studio and focuses his attention on the life and customs of ethnic minorities. The characters in his works "plateau red" and "nostalgia for cocoacili" are tough, rough and tense, which makes you feel that this is life above 5000 meters above sea level. In this exhibition held at Hangzhou Henglu Art Museum, the painter seems more willing to show the viewer his renewed exploration, that is, the literati's freehand character of "worshipping truth" and "advocating interest". These new works, such as Shangluoyi in Spring, Bodhi in Sanskrit Tree and Man Jian in Waterfalls, are not so much full of Sanskrit Chan, but rather the author's experiments on traditional literati paintings.
