"Guowu is a great fellow, whose jovial and observant gaze aroused me when he came to 55 rue de Bellechasse in September 2016. He then presented his work in ink and watercolors, in which, with a perfect mastery of techniques and traditions, he succeeded in using codes and limits of the genre, to create sensitive, tender and playful works. The professor at the Guangdong Academy has kept this flame of freedom, which is the hallmark of great artists. Come discover the variety of his work over the last thirty years, and maybe share my enthusiasm. We are waiting for you !"
