His work focused on the structural logic of the mountains. He called these patterns 'dragon veins.' In works like Landscape after Ni Zan and Green Peaks under Clear Sky, he avoided decorative effects. He preferred the austere style of the Yuan dynasty masters. Wang used a dry brush to create a sense of physical mass. His compositions often appear fragmented or modular. This creates a rhythmic movement across the paper.

Modern collectors appreciate the intellectual rigour of his compositions. His paintings do not rely on bright colours or realistic detail. Instead, they offer a study in form and balance. Pieces such as Streams and Mountains without End provide a sense of order. They suit quiet spaces. The restrained palette of ink and light washes makes these prints versatile for contemporary homes.
