可以说在南方的作品中已经形成了属于他自己的比较独特的形式语言特征。
这首先在于他的作品消解了传统绘画在构图上的均衡和稳定，更多地具有一种不平衡感和不稳定感，这样就使画面在单纯的背景上更大程度地存留了更多的空间，从而表达更为充实的个人体验和内心感受。
在有关“孩子状态”的作品里，单纯、强烈的色彩增添了画面的可爱情调，幸福就从此产生了。
——栗宪庭
It can be said that Nanfang has formed his own unique features of formal language.
This is primarily for the reason of the broken of the balance and stability in the composition of his paintings, which presents a strong sense of unbalance and instability and thus acquires great retention of space in the background of pure painting to express a more substantial personal experience and inner feelings.
In the works of “child status”, the lovely mood is addressed by the simple but strong color to produce an atmosphere of happiness
- Li Xianting
南方是上世纪70年代出生的画家，一种平和、宁静的社会环境和幸福生长的经历使他的作品很自然地脱离了五六十年代出生的画家或更早一些的画家在作品中所表达的那种深刻与沉重。
他的作品所关注的焦点并非是传统意义上的重大题材，而是诸如孩童成长等等生活中人们都非常熟悉的人和事，因此他的作品传递给人的是一种亲切、可爱、幸福的感受。画面单纯、优雅，造型上融入了卡通艺术的一些风格特征。语言明确，在色彩运用与画面处理上显现出这个年龄段的画家少有的成熟思索与熟练把握。
更重要的是在一种似乎不相干的戏谑中增添了作品本身的情感表达。

Nanfang is one of painters born in 1970’s. The peaceful and quiet social environment and the well-being growth experience make his works different from the mood of deepness and heaviness expressed by the painters born before 1960’s
The focus of his works is not the major themes in the traditional sense, but the familiar character and affairs of daily life such as the child’s growth to transfer a sense of friendly, lovely and well-being atmosphere. The picture is simple and elegant, the model is integrated with a style of the cartoon features, the language is clear, Nanfang reveals a more deep thinking and sophisticated skills in color application and screen treatment than the painters at the same age.
What’s more important is that emotion is expressed in the seemingly irrelevant joking

南方的油画作品给我的第一印象是非常个性化，不管是画面形式、还是内涵感触、乃至画法技巧都给予观者非常强烈的印象。他的聪慧和功底使他能从容不迫地从当代多元文化观念和日新月盛的技法中提炼出适合打造非常自我的艺术语言元素，真实表现出他既不同于前人，又具有与同代人的差异之处。他这一代没有重大“使命”的巨大压力，画出“自我”才是终极目标。南方的油画已显现“自我”的非常印象，他又把其非常自我的绘画语言渗入他的水墨创作中，使人耳目一新，亮丽而明快，新鲜而丰富。他的油画笔触真实而大胆地显现出他们一代“后生”们的生存状态、审美取向。在新时期宽泛的文化视野中、丰富的艺术形态里，“后生代”们追求的目标更具体、更真实了。他们是真实的，他们也是真诚的，不管是作画，还是做人。因为他们是“后生代”——非虚伪的一代！
——杨维民
My first impression on Nanfang’s oil paintings is very personal. People can get a strong impression from the forms of image to the touch of content, as well as the painting techniques. His intellect and groundings enabled him to refine elements his own art language from the contemporary multi-cultural concepts and innovative techniques, showing not only his difference from the predecessors, but the subtle difference from his peer generation. The generation which Nanfang belongs to has no enormous pressure of the great mission, and their ultimate goal is to depict the ‘self’. Nanfang’s oil painting has revealed a clear image of self. What’s more, he put his own unique painting language in the oil paintings making his works refreshing, bright and crisp, fresh and rich. The touch of his oil paintings reveals boldly and truly the existing status, aesthetic orientation of the epigenetic generation. Their goals become more exact and true in the new era of broad cultural horizons and rich art forms. They are real and sincere not only in their painting but as a man for they are the new generations-the generation of non-hypocritical!
- Yang Weimin
南方的快乐，无所不在。却有那么一种潜在的艺术本体的使命感，使他并不认为艺术只是一场游戏。他纵情自己在各种元素的交织中，钻研艺术的种种维度。
对这一主题不断、深入地挖掘使南方画面中的情感更加纯化，语言更加精熟。
在他的生活中，新的艺术面貌也将自然呈现。而在中国这样一个正在成长的国度中，对以南方为代表的出离于既定时代认识的当代艺术家的具体分析，也将变得更为重要。他们的艺术更代表着这个时代的崭新方向。
-------郝青松
Nanfang’s happiness is omnipresent His potential sense of art ontology make him not think art is just a game. He indulges himself in a variety of mixed elements to study various dimensions of art.
The continuous and deep study on the same subjects makes the emotion more purified and the language more mastery in his painting.
The new art appearance of art would show naturally in his life. Nanfang is one of representatives of the contemporary artists. It is very importance to make concrete analysis on these artists for they know beyond the limits of time. Their arts stand for the trends of the new era.
-HaoQingSong
南方的作品，最吸引人的莫过于内容的趣味性和感情的纯真。在南方的画面里，我们看不到丝毫的张狂与粗野，只有许多能够引起幸福感觉的小镜头——追逐蜻蜓、蝴蝶的小孩子，吃西瓜的小孩子，低下头从两腿中间调皮看你的小孩子……小孩成了南方绘画的主要模特，这正是南方的“狡猾”之处，把小孩子的调皮劲儿、可爱劲儿画出来了，他的作品也就能因此轻而易举地俘获观者的心了。但是能把这种“劲儿”画的出来却是不容易的，或许是为了能够更明显的表现这些东西，南方改变了传统的绘画元素和规则，更多的运用不平衡感和不稳定性，再加上随意而跳动的笔触，这就增加了与读者的视觉互动和心灵互动，让读者自己从作品中读出这些感觉来。鲁迅对美术创作曾有过一段论述，大意是说二流的画家只能画的“像”，而一流的画家却能画出画的背后那些不可名状的感觉。可以说，鲁迅的这段话就是对南方作品的最好评价。
——林松
The most attractive points in Nanfang’s works are the interesting contents and innocent feelings. There are no slightest insolent and unruly in NanFang’s works, but numerous touching catches: child chasing dragon flies and butterflies, child eating watermelon, child bending his head and watching you between his legs… child is the main model in NanFang’s paintings to displays NanFang’s smartness. When you draw out child’s mischievous and lovable spirits, it is very easy to capture people’s heart. But it’s very hard to display this kind of spirit. Maybe in order to show this vividly, Nanfang has changed some elements and rule in traditional paintings. He makes use of lots of unbalance and instability in his painting with randomly beating brush strokes which add up the viewers’ visual and spiritual interaction and allow viewers to get these from the paintings by themselves. Luxun had made some comments on art creation, which mainly means that the second –rate painters can only paint in close similarity, but the first – class artist can draw out those unexplainable feelings. It can be said the comment of Luxun is the best assessment to NanFang’s works.
