从2015年开始，吴少清的作品呈现的是冷静和厚重，不难看出这是一个艺术家蜕变的过程。他探索抽象艺术表达近三十年，三十年的渐悟似乎已突入顿悟境界，看似无象中包含万象。画家的虔诚信仰，融汇在了他的《三界》系列作品里。

《三界》系列作品所激发出来的审美意识既是具象的，又是抽象中蕴含着意象。作品以神秘的线和精致的点为元素，它穿越了时间和空间的界限。他用空妙、奇幻又澎湃的绘画语境，透过自己独特的艺术符号，将一个个灵动浩渺、梦一般的画面呈现出来，力图达到一种澄净玄冥的心灵境界，构筑了一个十分丰富的视觉感官和精神空间。

除了《三界》系列之外，吴少清历年的作品，呈现了他不期的思想轨迹和人文关注。二十世纪90年代，吴少清开始走向西方现代思想的探索。他的艺术触角从时间的深邃，转向空间的浩淼，这一时期作品，日月、星空、光电、宇宙，成了他心弛神往的领域，他用心去表现和感悟自然的浩然之气。在画面上，力求强烈的色彩对比，在用笔上，力求恢弘跌宕，具有神采飞动之感，而浓重的黑色代表了自然的原始力量。二十一世纪初，吴少清逐渐去繁就简，画风变化很大，从这次参展的十多幅作品中，如《萌觉》四联画、《溢景》和《三界》系列作品来看，既有当代写意的趣味，又有着淡淡的禅韵……

他的作品里甚至很难读到城市的印记，他完全是仙野派的，在《幻尘》里你能发现乡野的味道，有着风云突变的壮美。这是一个接地气的艺术家，他留意的是自然界惊变在他内心的萌动，这种气韵感从他早年的画作里就已经特别注重了，只是，他现在找到了灵巧的契机。《溢景》的另一大特色就是它的装饰性，花瓶与流动的气体是互为渗透的，其色彩变化又极为丰富，你可以解读成吴少清正从他以往的凝重中走出，变得更为明快而透明。

吴少清的创作以其独特的风格和思想，受到了评论界及社会的赞誉和关注。美国著名艺术评论家穆齐尔曾评论道“作为杰出画家，吴少清几十年的绘画实践，孕育着虚幻的时空，叙述着独到的感悟”。旅美艺术评论家、国际中国文化出版社社长、美国亚洲文化学院董事会主席赵晓明先生曾经有过精辟的评论“吴少清的作品，真正的欣赏者不仅感受到表象丰富的空间，他的作品富有灵气，变幻无穷，即悠远又强烈，洋溢着生命之力。为欣赏者提供了一种全新的、创造性的、自省内敛的、禅宗式审美体验。”

吴少清说“当我们寻找绘画的本质时就是在寻找自己，画面的空灵、禅意是我的艺术追求。” 在追求韵律上，吴少清有他的独到之处，他始终保持着厚重与轻淡、乖张与收敛之间的平衡，如同自然的一种浑象，你很难判断它的轻重与远近。近些年来，他多次参加了国内和国际画展，作品曾被美国亚洲文化学院及世界各地广为收藏，其中两幅当代抽象油画作品被美国“亚洲文化保存委员会”作为《为未来记录今天》项目特别表彰并收藏于美国国会图书馆亚洲馆。

英文版简介
Freelance artist Shaoqing Peter Wu was born in 1960 in Wenzhou, Zhejiang, China. He graduated from China Academy of Art. He is a member of Zhejiang Chinese Artists Association and a member of World Chinese Artists Association. He was awarded as a distinguished artist by Asian Artists Association of North America. He currently lives in Wenzhou and Shanghai.
His recent collections are titled Origin of Three Worlds, which express a fusion of desire, form and formlessness , a fusion of the Heaven, the Earth and human beings , a fusion of the Universe and human spirituality as well as a fusion of macroscopic and microscopic. His paintings exhibit the uncertain while interrelated connection of truth and illusion in this mystic Universe and his effort to unite the perspectives of real world and the Universe. He explores deeply into the reality and the unseen of human spiritual activities and insists that there must be reasons behind them. With his own artistic language, he manages to deliver Zen Buddhism thinking in his works. Although he is not meant to be a philosopher, he tries to bring people to imagine the relation between the Universe and us, making people focused, liberated and transcended.
His collections Origin of Three Worlds are both specific and abstract. He translates time and space by mysterious lines and exquisite dots, reflecting the flowing, mobile and crystal Universe which is gigantic and sublime. He describes the Universe in such a magic way that he enriches our visual appreciation and spiritual imagination.
His art style changes as he grows. From late 90”s to early 21 century, his works were passionate and avant-garde. But his latest collections are sober and serious. He said, “ The Origin of Three Worlds collections is a part of my painting series Home Return. I find it is more and more important to think in Chinese way while creating modern art. “ Through his more than thirty years of artistic experience, he has successfully built his own religious belief, Chinese classic aesthetic and modern art theories into his collections Origin of Three Worlds.
Chinese American art critic Mr. Xiaoming Zhao, Chairman of China International Press, Chairman of U.S. Asian Cultural Academy, said, “ We can see not only space but also time in his collections. It is this very abstractive time that makes his works unique and alive, offering us a new and creative experience like Zen Buddhists. “ American art critic Musil commented, “ A foremost painter in his field, Mr.Wu has decades of oil painting experience. His abstract paintings present temporal illusion and distinct insights.” Mr. Wu has received acclaim from both critics and the public for his unique style and ideas. In recent years, he participated in many art exhibitions both domestic and abroad and his paintings were collected by U.S. Asian Culture Academy and many other collectors in the world. Two pieces of his abstract paintings were honored by Asian Cultural Preservation Commission for the special project of Record Today for the Future and were collected by Asian Museum of the United States Congress Library.
