张新权的风景画在风格上十分成熟,很有学院风范。中国油画在风景题材上的表达,在很长时间内是写实主义的,客观叙事的比较普遍。从而使风景画只有题材性而无主题性,主要问题是缺少主体对风景客体的独特感受和理解。在语言上以自然为取法比较多,艺术家的主观精神少。张新权的风景艺术是属于新一代风景表达型的,他在艺术上的特征是注重自己对风景的独特意识,同时追求语言本身的独立价值和地位。
——邓平祥
The landscapes of Zhang Xinquan are quite mature and academic in style. Chinese landscapes, over the years, are realistic and narrative at large, and they are filled with stuff, rather than themes. The main cause for that might be the lack of unique perception and comprehension of sceneries by artists, who tend to focus on nature itself rather than express their own subjective perception. The landscapes of Zhang Xinquan, however, belong to a new style, which are expressive with sceneries. His style lies in his unique understanding of landscapes, and his pursuit of independent value of his artistic language.
