 Wu Dakai’s influence in the industry is remarkable. The excerpts from the 2024 industry art short review are as follows:

 Wu Dakai's works are a kind of cultural reflection. The peculiar scenes and mysterious images painted by the painter are not only the product of his own language talent and artistic sensibility, but also the result of contemporary people's concern for survival. In this regard, this ethereal and elegant artistic style is not an active and spontaneous evolution of the art form, but the product of "concepts". Undoubtedly, all of this allows the painter to stand in more dimensions of the plane space. Come up and examine the background, characters and overall atmosphere of the work, so as to achieve an insightful effect. It can be said that what Wu Dakai completed was an experiment of "putting new wine in old bottles".

He strived to "learn from the ancients" and "learn from nature" in his works, which are both good at ink painting and landscape painting; It expresses beautiful style in a precise way, and can also express grand momentum with free and unrestrained pen and ink. Wu Dakai's paintings pursue the change and unity of color and ink, line and point, outline and dyeing, the harmony and moderation in density, and the implicit and profound beauty of artistic conception. From his works, we can see his high cultural accomplishment and artistic level. His paintings, with their graceful and meticulous brushstrokes, reveal a free and elegant and rich and elegant rhythm. The artistic conception of his works is rich and profound, and the wonderful way is natural. Wu Dakai insists on sketching natural landscapes, using his keen brushwork to capture natural phenomena, and using affectionate brushwork to express the beauty of nature.

 Wu Dakai is an artist who has been working in the field of landscape painting for many years. His Zen snowscape landscapes not only inherit the essence of tradition, but also show unique artistic charm through innovation. Each of his paintings is like the philosophical concept of "mysterious and mysterious, the door to all wonders", leading the viewer into a profound and Zen world. In Wu Dakai's paintings, the snowy landscape presents a lofty and tranquil temperament. The mountains in the picture are covered with snow, as if nature is covered with a layer of pure silver. The cold pines stand tall, and their branches are covered with crystal snowflakes. They sway in the cold wind, as if they are telling the secret language of winter. The temples and monks hidden in it add a touch of mystery to the picture.

 Wu Dakai is good at using color to create the atmosphere of the picture. In his snowy landscape paintings, monks in cassocks and the red walls of temples become a bright color in the painting. This brightness is in sharp contrast with the surrounding black and white snow scenery, which not only highlights the theme of the picture, but also gives people a strong visual impact. There are also compositions of scenes such as monks climbing high and looking into the distance, and old men fishing in boats, which not only create a deep Zen feeling in the picture, but also bring endless space for imagination to the viewers. In addition, children often appear in Wu Dakai's snowy landscape paintings. These children were playing in the snowy scenery, and their laughter added a touch of life to the silent mountain forest. The depiction of these children's images not only makes the pictures more vivid and interesting, but also allows viewers to recall their own childhood memories and feel warm and friendly while enjoying them.

 To sum up, this kind of Zen experience allows us to find a moment of peace and tranquility in our busy life, and also gives us a deeper understanding and understanding of life...
