Just like his dressing style - always in black, Cai Zhisong takes "the fallen dynasty" as his symbol. His historical artistic language has been understood gradually, just like his personal style, exquisite. We can find Cai's sincerity to art.
Based on the fusion of concrete and abstract, Cai Zhisong developed his Motherland Series - Feng, Ya, Song to a new level - Song 9 which cost him two years, with more mature artistic techniques and language. If it is said that Song Series is an embodiment of Cai's artistic skill; then the beauty of Feng Series lays in its simplification of modeling and the conflict between materials. In Ya Series, the vertical scrolls and screens show the dialogue between the artist and his works.
In Motherland Series, we can find Cai's inner world expression. Roses penetrate into his creation. These recent relief sculptures series is a breakthrough of the artist’s language - from transhistorical narration to introspective individual history, from complicated professional language and historical culture abstraction to simple personal expression.
Just like Cai said: " I am the one who is always in uniform motion. Please stop asking me whether I have any new works." Cai is always developing his individual understanding with modern artistic mode, based on native culture.
