The exhibition navigates the evolution of Wen's art throughout decades. The museum's ground floor shows his copies of great paintings in history, a way for him to understand the energy and atmosphere that ancient artists tried to communicate.

Wen was offered a chance to go to Japan in 1991 and conduct cultural exchanges. While he taught classic Chinese paintings and making furniture there, he befriended several Japanese artists. He created paintings and took photos reflecting the influence of Japanese aesthetics, which are also on show.

After returning to Beijing, Wen continued to seek breakthroughs. He researched widely on Chinese history, architecture and handicrafts. And he has tried to form spiritual connection with scholars and artists in the Song Dynasty (960-1279). His most recent paintings on display reflect such effort to leverage his creation to a higher level.
