從寫實主義發展到專注抽象藝術，查國鈞經歷過艱辛的蛻變，並確立了突出的個人藝術風格。用他自己的話來說，那就是"用抽象主義的語言敍述東方神秘主義的故事"。他的作品以中國文化為背景，將中國甲骨文、金石篆刻、山水畫的潑彩潑墨，以抽象表現主義的方法進行現代化的開拓，呈現出鮮明的個人特質。
精藝軒將在十月份展出查國鈞的紙本彩墨畫題--“混沌世界”。混沌是指無形的，不可見聞，更不可言語形容的。宇宙起源於混沌，人類的精神也源起於混沌，混沌成為人類對體驗的自我描寫。“混沌世界”以山水、煙雲為背景，他將中國傳統繪畫中的潑墨、潑彩、文字、青銅、金石融為一體，互輔陪襯、有情有理、朦朧交織，運用大膽鮮明的色彩和光影表現感受和情感，又始終保持著強烈的東方民族文化特色，查國鈞的作品受到海內外藝術界的好評。
查國鈞現兼任上海大學美術學院油畫系碩士班導師，他于1985年赴美國至今一直從事現代繪畫創作，在美國20多年的生活和思考，使他的畫作逐漸融合了十九世紀末、二十世紀中葉的西方美學，受到法國印象派和抽象主義流派的影響。查現在把時間分配在美國與中國之間，他共有五百多幅作品分別在美國、加拿大、日本、香港、臺灣、歐洲和等地被私人收藏。上海美術館、美國聖地牙哥大學藝術博物館、美國聖約翰大學、美國漢姆蘭大學和美國明尼蘇達大學等多家機構亦曾經為他舉辦個展。
Signs and symbols on oracle bones and ancient Chinese bronze vessels, calligraphic characters on signature seals and stones, abstract displays of ink and colour splashes in Chinese paintings…. all these have been turned into components and integral parts in the paintings of Cha Guojun.
Cha, a veteran Chinese-American painter, describes his paintings as his means of delineating stories of the mysticism of the East through the application of contemporary abstract art of the West. His paintings, strong and distinct in characteristics of their own, are universal yet organically eastern.
The artist has lived, taught and painted in the United States for over twenty years. He is fluent in the artistic language of the west but his ethnic roots run deep. In recent years, Cha often returns to Shanghai to work and teaches a Master of Fine Art programme at the Shanghai University.
Cha has gone through different stages in his artistic pursuit, starting off as a realism painter in Shanghai and progressed onto abstracts after moving to the United States in 1985. He has held numerous exhibitions around the world and hundreds of his works have been widely collected in the United States, Canada, Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Europe.
The paintings in Mystic World, which will be on show at Art Beatus Gallery in October, are embodiments of the symbols and techniques from both the east and the west manipulated and displayed at the will of the artist.
