观国亮书法作品,风格独特,气韵生动,笔势雄奇,行笔奔放自如,布局巧拙相参,章法疏密得体,具有当代书法时代新风,是一位不可多得的书法家。
--沈鹏(原中国书法家协会名誉主席、当代著名书法大家)
姜国亮的书法是广东的一张名片。
--欧阳中石(原中国书法家协会顾问、当代著名书法大家)
飞白之书为书圣王羲之所创,确切地说王羲之是集大成者,因为他的飞白之书既非空前,亦非绝后。姜国亮先生在其草书“龙”字中飞白运用可谓达到了随心所欲而又不逾矩的地步,笔墨神来,龙吟墨海,昂首奔腾的神奇形象令观赏者为之品味。观者与书者的思绪共振是书法艺术的魅力所在,这在姜国亮先生的书法中得到充分的表现。此外,姜国亮先生草书“虎”字,亦是形神兼备之作。其飞白笔法的运用足见其书法已达炉火纯青的高度。“虎”字第二笔的撇,最后一笔的长竖,斑驳之状酷似大写意中国画虎尾的斑驳。姜公此“虎”字结体修长、微曲,更具“猛虎雄踞松峰,啸傲万重青山”之态。字的神韵其实是人的精神及艺术审美观的再现,胸有豪情,笔呈神韵,是书法艺术家终身修炼方成正果的追求境界。姜公的“龙”与“虎”两幅佳作堪称当代书坛珍品。再观姜国亮先生所书《般若波罗蜜多心经》,可见姜公隶书功底之深厚。该作章法如珠玑匀布、格调高古,非具心如止水的定力难以成就。其字体为隶书,用笔方圆兼备,笔画沉实,线条遒劲厚重,多有魏碑笔法显现。粗壮横画中寓有灵动,竖画中也能拙中见巧,由此形成了自己的书法特色。同时姜国亮先生的书法碑帖融合,入古出新。其用笔苍劲老辣,线条独特,书法雄强奔放,章法自然(见本文附图的伟人《沁园春·长沙》及李白《早发白帝城》)。特别在草书的创作上极尽变化,并随着书写内容,进入笔墨神驰,一任自然,具有极强的视觉冲击力,从变化的线条及节奏中给人以共鸣,形成了鲜明的独家书风。
--张源(中国书法家协会理事、著名书法评论家)
刘佑局先生高度评价姜国亮先生的书法:书有法道,且有创意,意者乃为其传统,意者乃为出新,两者兼之,可成大器。书龙者甚众,独亮兄别有一番新意,其结构变化动感极强,且运笔自如,乃为上品矣。
--刘佑局(广东华人书法院院长、当代著名书法评论家)
中国八达岭新长城组委会书画评审团高度评价姜国亮先生的书法:真正体现了现代艺术家对中国诗词、书法文化的传承及发展。书法既承袭了古文化的神韵精髓,又具个人风格,雄强奔放,灵动飘逸,一气呵成!特别是在伟人《沁园春·长沙》的创作上,浩然之气,跃然纸上,观书作,读后如临画境。“风华”二字风华尽显!
--摘自中国八达岭新长城组委会书法入选通知
我看过很多书法家的书法作品,一位书法家的发展过程无非是临帖、悟帖、出帖三个阶段。很多人花费几十年,甚至倾尽一生临习法帖,但依然笼罩在某家某帖的影子下,可见出帖的困难程度。但姜国亮的作品无不反映出自己的风格面貌。他的作品中能看到历史大家的笔韵,却是水到渠成的形成了一种新的书法风格。我认为这是当代书法发展过程中的一次升华。
书法的传承需要姜国亮这样的艺术家,需要这种具有时代特征的书法样式。他的书法既遵循传统,敢于创新,又在符合审美的基础上进行开拓。希望姜国亮能够坚持自己的方向,创作出更经典的作品,为书法的发展起到表率作用,引领书法的发展。

--Deng Guoqiang (Senior Cultural Relics Appraiser and Researcher at the Palace Museum, Beijing) praised Guo Liang’s calligraphy for its distinctive style, vibrant energy, bold and dynamic brushwork, free-flowing strokes, skillful yet unforced composition, and harmonious spacing. He noted that the work embodies the new trends of contemporary calligraphy, making Guo Liang a rare and exceptional calligrapher.
Jiang Guoliang, the renowned contemporary calligrapher and former honorary chairman of the China Calligraphers Association, is a hallmark of Guangdong’s calligraphy.
Ouyang Zhongshi (former advisor of the Chinese Calligraphers Association, renowned contemporary master of calligraphy) noted that the art of Feibai (flying white) was created by Wang Xizhi, the Sage of Calligraphy. To be precise, Wang Xizhi was the ultimate synthesizer, as his Feibai style was neither unprecedented nor unparalleled. Mr.Jiang Guoliang’s application of Feibai in his cursive script "dragon" achieves a level of spontaneity within established boundaries, where brushwork flows with divine inspiration. The majestic image of a dragon roaring through ink seas captivates viewers. The resonance between observer and creator’s thoughts embodies the charm of calligraphy, fully manifested in Mr.Jiang’s works. Additionally, his cursive script "tiger" demonstrates perfect harmony of form and spirit. The application of Feibai technique reveals his calligraphic mastery reaching consummate perfection. The second stroke’s slanting line and final vertical stroke’s mottled pattern resemble the speckled tail of a Chinese freehand painting tiger. Mr.Jiang’s "tiger" character features elongated, slightly curved structure, embodying the image of "a mighty tiger perched on pine peaks, roaring through myriad green mountains." The essence of characters reflects human spirit and artistic aesthetics. Possessing heroic passion and conveying divine charm through brushwork represents the lifelong pursuit of calligraphers. Mr.Jiang’s "dragon" and "tiger" masterpieces are considered treasures in contemporary calligraphy. His cursive script "Heart Sutra of Prajna Paramita" showcases profound clerical script mastery. The composition resembles evenly distributed pearls, with an ancient elegance achievable only through calm, focused mind. The characters combine square and round brushstrokes, featuring substantial strokes and powerful lines that exhibit Wei stele script techniques. Robust horizontal strokes conceal agility, while vertical strokes display ingenuity within simplicity, forming his unique calligraphic style. Mr.Jiang Guoliang’s calligraphic works masterfully blend classical traditions with innovative expressions. His brushwork radiates rugged vigor and distinctive lines, creating dynamic compositions that harmonize with natural flow (as exemplified by the attached images of Li Bai’s "Qinyuanchun: Changsha" and "Early Departure from Baidi City"). Particularly in cursive script, he achieves remarkable variations, allowing his brush to dance freely with the content, resulting in visually striking works that resonate through dynamic line rhythms. This unique style has established his signature artistic voice, captivating viewers with its fluidity and expressive power.
Zhang Yuan (Council Member of the China Calligraphers Association, renowned calligraphy critic) commended Mr.Jiang Guoliang’s calligraphy: "Calligraphy embodies both tradition and innovation. While tradition provides the foundation, innovation breathes life into it. When these two elements converge, one achieves greatness. Though many have attempted dragon calligraphy, Mr.Jiang stands out with his unique approach. His compositions demonstrate remarkable dynamism, and his brushwork flows with effortless mastery—truly a masterpiece of the highest caliber."
--Liu Youju (President of Guangdong Chinese Calligraphy Academy, renowned contemporary calligraphy critic) The Calligraphy Review Panel of the China Badaling New Great Wall Organizing Committee highly praised Mr.Jiang Guoliang’s calligraphy: It truly embodies the inheritance and development of modern artists’ engagement with China’s poetry and calligraphy culture. The calligraphy not only inherits the essence and charm of ancient culture but also possesses a personal style, vigorous and unrestrained, graceful and ethereal, completed in one breath! Particularly in the creation of the great man’s "Qinyuan Chun Changsha," the majestic spirit leaps off the paper, and viewing the work feels like stepping into a painting. The two characters "Fenghua" are fully displayed! --Excerpt from the Calligraphy Selection Notice of the China Badaling New Great Wall Organizing Committee I have seen many calligraphers ’works, and the development process of a calligrapher generally goes through three stages: copying models, understanding models, and breaking away from models. Many spend decades, even a lifetime, practicing calligraphy models, yet still remain under the shadow of a particular school or model, highlighting the difficulty of breaking away. However, Jiang Guoliang’s works all reflect his unique style. One can see the brush rhythm of historical masters in his works, yet they naturally form a new calligraphy style. I believe this represents a sublimation in the development of contemporary calligraphy.
The continuation of calligraphy requires artists like Jiang Guoliang and styles that embody the spirit of our times. His work not only adheres to tradition but also dares to innovate while expanding boundaries within aesthetic principles. We hope Jiang Guoliang will persist in his creative direction, producing more timeless masterpieces that serve as role models for calligraphy development and guide its future evolution.
—Ouyang Zhongshi (former advisor to the China Calligraphers Association, a renowned contemporary calligrapher)
