张少石，1951年生于河北易县，是我国当代著名画家，尤以写意花鸟与工笔虎画闻名。他自幼受家风的艺术熏陶，与绘画结缘，早期受过名人指点，系统的学习美术知识和基础。而后他正式拜入齐白石弟子、国画大师娄师白门下，研习大写意花鸟，由此成为“齐门”一脉的重要传人。
青年时期的张少石曾投身军旅，在西北地区度过了三年的军营生活。这段经历不仅磨砺了他的意志，也深刻影响了他的艺术道路。正如他所说：“军旅生活是我足以享用一生的宝贵财富，不仅影响了我本人的性格和追求，也影响了我的艺术品质和艺术风格。”军人的坚毅与豪情，为他日后创作中“虎”的形象埋下了情感的种子。
结束军旅生涯后，张少石继续追随李可染、娄师白等艺术大家深造，在长达三十余年的艺术探索中，逐渐形成了“工笔写意相得益彰，动静结合以墨传神”的独特风格。他的作品既有传统的笔墨功底，又充满现代审美意趣，在传承中不断创新。
在题材选择上，张少石尤其钟情于画虎与花鸟。他笔下的老虎形态各异，上山虎、下山虎、雪中虎、卧虎……无一雷同。为了捕捉虎的神韵，他常去动物园观察写生，甚至借助影像资料反复研究虎的骨骼、肌肉与动态。他创作的《百虎图》长卷达三十米，形态生动，构图严谨，被其师娄师白题跋誉为“可誉以虎王之称”，张少石也因此得名“虎王”。
除了虎题材，张少石在大写意花鸟方面也成就斐然。他继承齐白石“似与不似之间 ”的美学理念，喜用鲜艳明快的色彩描绘牡丹、紫藤、菊花、芭蕉、小鸭、蜜蜂等物象，画面鲜活生动、雅俗共赏，充满童趣与生机，他笔下的作品稚而不俗，艳而不娇，为中国花鸟画注入了新的活力。
张少石现为张少石艺术舘舘长，张少石艺术研究会会长，中国书画研究会理事、北京陶然书画院顾问、北京文房四宝堂艺术顾问、一级画师。几十年来，他始终在艺术道路上孜孜不倦地探索，将生命体验与自然感悟融入笔墨，作品不仅展现技艺的精湛，更传递出和谐、温暖、包容的人格魅力。
其作品多次在人民日报，解放军报，文艺报，及原来各大军区军报报道，作品遍布海内外，被各大博物馆收藏，作品丈二疋《雄风万里图》被中国人民革命军事博物馆收藏
他的艺术，是工笔与写意的交融，是动静之间的传神，更是人与自然、笔墨与心灵的对话。在传统与现代之间，张少石以自由而真诚的创作，站成了画坛一棵独具风骨的大树。
Zhang Shaoshi, born in Yi County, Hebei in 1951, is a renowned contemporary Chinese painter, particularly famous for his freehand flowerand-bird paintings and meticulous tiger paintings. Influenced by his family's artistic atmosphere from a young age, he developed a passion for painting. In his early, he received guidance from famous artists and systematically studied fine arts knowledge and fundamentals. Later, he formally became a disciple of Lou Shibai, a master of traditional painting and a disciple of Qi Baishi, to study large-scale freehand flower-and-bird painting, thereby becoming an important successor of the "Qi School.
In his youth, Zhang Shaoshi served in the military and spent three years in military camps in the Northwest region. This experience not only tempered his will but profoundly influenced his artistic path. As he said: "Military life is a precious treasure I can enjoy for a lifetime; it not only influenced my own character and but also my artistic quality and style." The perseverance and passion of a soldier planted the emotional seeds for the "tiger" imagery in his later creations.
After ending military career, Zhang Shaoshi continued to pursue advanced studies under art masters such as Li Keran and Lou Shibai. During over thirty years of artistic exploration, he formed a unique style where "meticulous and freehand techniques complement each other, and movement and stillness are combined to convey spirit through ink." His works possess traditional brushwork foundations and modern aesthetic charm, continuously innovating through inheritance.
In terms of subject matter, Zhang Shaoshi is particularly fond of painting tigers and flowers and. The tigers under his brush take various forms—tigers going up the mountain, tigers coming down the mountain, tigers in the snow, crouching tigers none are. To capture the spirit of the tiger, he often goes to zoos for observation and sketching, and even uses photographic materials to repeatedly study the tiger's bones muscles, and movements. His created long scroll "Hundred Tigers Painting" reaches thirty meters in length, with vivid forms and rigorous composition. It was praised by his teacher Shibai in the colophon as "worthy of being called the King of Tigers," and Zhang Shaoshi thus earned the nickname "Tiger King."
In addition to tiger theme, Zhang Shaoshi has also achieved remarkable success in large-scale freehand flower-and-bird painting. He inherited Qi Baishi's aesthetic concept of "between resemblance and non-resemblance," and enjoys using bright and cheerful colors to depict peonies, wisteria, chrysanthemums, plantains, ducklings bees, and other subjects. The paintings are vivid and lively, appreciated by both the refined and the common people, full of childlike innocence and vitality. His works are but not vulgar, and bright but not delicate, injecting new vitality into Chinese flower-and-bird painting.
Zhang Shaoshi is currently the director of the Zhangoshi Art Gallery, president of the Zhang Shaoshi Art Research Association, director of the China Calligraphy and Painting Research Association, consultant of the Beijing Taoran Call and Painting Academy, art consultant of the Beijing Wenfang Sibao Hall, and a first-class painter. For decades, he has tirelessly explored the artistic path, life experiences and natural insights into his brushwork. His works not only demonstrate exquisite skills but also convey a harmonious, warm, and inclusive personal charm.
His works been reported multiple times in the People's Daily, PLA Daily, Literature and Art Daily, and the military newspapers of various former military regions. His works are across China and abroad, collected by major museums. His 12-foot-long scroll "Majestic Wind Over Ten Thousand Miles" is collected by the Military of the Chinese People's Revolution.
His art is the fusion of meticulous and freehand styles, the conveyance of spirit between movement and stillness, and more importantly a dialogue between man and nature, brushwork and the soul. Between tradition and modernity, through free and sincere creation, Zhang Shaoshi has stood as a uniquely tree in the art world.
