In 1987, he was appointed as a member of the Shanghai Art Senior Position Review Committee
for the art profession. In 1989, the gouache painting "Apple" and the oil painting "Peach" and
"Spring" were collected by the Shanghai Art Museum. 1992, the oil painting "Plum Garden New

Zhou Bichu was a famous oil painter and educator in China, and also a pioneer of Chinese oil
painting. He realized that this new and vibrant school of painting in Europe was inspired by
Eastern art and created an epoch-making new chapter of Western painting. The Impressionists
placed special emphasis on artistic individuality, and among the Impressionists, Post-
Impressionists and even Expressionists, all of them showed their individuality and diversity.
Zhou Bichu, while using the technique of juxtaposition and contrast of contrasting colors,
paid more attention to the expressiveness and vividness of fine brushstrokes and dot clusters.
He also pays attention to the integration of dots and lines of literati painting, the essence of
Chinese folk art exaggeration, which makes Zhou Bichu's oil paintings distinctively Chinese
and his own artistic style. In his still life, yellow lemons are contrasted with a cobalt blue
background, which is set off by a throbbing vermilion color and fine brushstrokes of light
purple, giving a sense of transparency and heaviness; in Zhou Bichu's landscapes, pale red is
interspersed with a variety of greens, and the juxtaposition of blue and painting is bright and
fresh. He does not adopt the previous impressionist practice of tracing volume and emphasizing
the relationship between light and dark, but directly uses contrasting combinations of colors to
achieve overall harmony, forming a bright and vivid atmosphere and picture; he does not show
light sources, but has his own luminous effect, such as the "Salangan Village (Indonesia)" and
"Ancient City and Water Town (Changshu)", both of which are rich in such characteristics and
charm.
