By compressing his main motif flatly to one dimension, yet it creates magic multi-dimensional visual effects. From the block print of the fifties, the establishment of “Oriental Art Society” in the sixties to the colorful and vigorous oil paintings of the seventies. No matter how the time goes, Wu's works, regardless of composition, style, or expressive forms, always stand at the peak of trend in each transitional point of the old and new. Even though Takashi Murakami’s superflat is popular among the international contemporary art nowadays, we finally realize that in Wu’s flattened magical space has also remained mystically the freshness of time.

As time goes by, the girls on Wu Hao’s canvas never becomes old, and those gorgeous flowers in the memory never fade away as well. At the age of eighty, he keeps using the modern form to think about the Orient and reappears the warm spring of the memory, which makes the memory being preserved clearer and happier and thus turns into the resplendent contemporary today. Wu finds irreplaceable himself from Li Chung-sheng’s edification of the creative elements—orient, ego, modern. His paintings stay the beautiful memory and jumping youth; willfully expose the most passionate emotions inside the heart with a peaceful but untrained position. Though the contents and images of his works may change through time, he always sticks to his ideal and searches for the purity of art. He combines the soft and the hard to pursue joys and colors. Even during the desolate years and among shabby objects, he still can find out the splendor and hope.

The horse racing is intense as Wu Hao’s plentiful creativity. The memory seems to follow the curvet of the horse and finally falls on the most colorful page of life. Impressed by his mother’s embroidery patterns and colors; plus the accumulation of life from traditional New Year’s paintings and paper-cut art in his childhood, Wu integrates these abundant life characteristics and pattern symbols to generalize his splendid and cheerful painting style. So the eternal instant of glory and inspiration have been created. This enchanting track of using the modern form to think about the tradition and then again transforming into the modern from the tradition is exactly the modern performance under the bright colors, which shows that Wu Hao’s works keep the local trend as well as internationalization at the same time. In the plane of seemingly crisscrossed space bursts out the great power and beauty at different space and time.

One, a cluster, an acre, a hectare, before eyes are all blooming flowers, and every single one presents the happiness of the existence. Wu Hao’s paintings of flowers form a strong contrast to his woodcuts of old cruddy houses that were made in his earlier years. Viewing from certain angles, we may find these houses also look like some bushes of flowers and tall grasses. Black lines cut and check against each other in the picture. Invisible flowers seem to be existed in the artist’s dreams; the fruits in the paintings along with the flowers grow into the splendid scenery. Wu uses thin and refined lines to draw the details of petals and leaves. The seemingly well-formed or uniform arrangement is enlivened by different shades of colors. There is a dialogue going on between the colorful roses in the golden vase and their counterparts: persimmons, apples and pears that are shattered all over the table cloth of flowery print. The rich colors are talking, and the interwoven leaf stalks are talking too. The overflowing flowers are done in a full illustration and thus a beauty of thickness and fullness is created, which also serves as powerful invitation for viewers to focus on some parts or details. There are diverse layers in a color. Wu Hao enables to use each color to the perfection and transforms it into the magical brilliant color so that his artwork always can attract viewer’s attention. In addition to his talent, there must be a flash of fire coming from inside of the artist, and insist on using his extraordinary sincerity to arouse the nature of flowers, fruits, man and animals.

The more I look at Wu Hao’s paintings, the more I feel that he is walking in the spring and summer of life. Flowers fly and dance. There is always an interval between this flower and the next, emitting different fragrance. At his 50s, Wu’s brilliant talent and splendid colors fly up to the top of his life; at the age of 80, glory is like a dream, drifting between waking and sleeping; flowers are beyond their appearances but each  is a flowering heart still, blooming the youthful joy and vitality. The flowers open just in time, the peonies bloom earlier in Metaphysical Art Gallery, charming and brilliant, fragrant and graceful. Sincerely welcome you all to see the blossom.
