1976年任丽君进入上海油画雕塑院，八十年代中期探索自己的路，以女性画家独特的敏锐视觉之灵感，表达感觉得到满满的美，色彩丰富、造型厚重却似轻歌曼舞，画面充满激情，似乎抽象的叙述中又有鲜活的局部装饰感。她的绘画是诗、是歌、是情、是生命张力的啸唤，更是用画笔谱写着母性大爱的一首首颂歌。
Ren Lijun joined the Shanghai Oil Paintings and Sculptures Academy in 1976, explored her own road in the mid-1980s, using the special keen visual inspiration of female artists to express the feeling of getting full of beauty, they are colorful, with heavy modelings but as light as dancing, the images are full of passion, as if lively part-decoration are in the abstract depiction. What she painted were poems, songs, emotions, and the call of vitality, even more, they were carols written by brushes for maternal love.
从政宣写实(老套)到学习欧风正宗，从纪实到捕民族风捉心仪之影，她在半个世纪的绘画探索中发现自我，她的意识里潜藏着视觉形象与音乐韵律并和的美感 。
From old-schooled to learning the European style, from documentary to catching the flashes of ethnicity, she found herself in the half-century art exploration, the beauty of the visual image and music rhyme are hidden in her mind.
任丽君创作的油画画面的塑造力度有交响乐般的宏伟，她打破了固定光线的置入，明暗的调子光与斑块不是光影的自然形成，它是画家用来构成画面因需用而随心所欲，是一种写意的光斑……，这在中国油画中具有中国绘画的视觉美并吸取东西方现代风格和民间艺术的二维半造型空间智慧……。她确实如原上海博物馆馆长陈燮君先生说的是她用一生的心血“呵护了艺术的纯粹”。
The oil painting images created by Ren Lijun have a shaping strength as grand as symphonies, she broke the fixed light placement, the light and dark spots are not formed naturally by the shadows, they are used by the painter to compose the image, they are a type of freehand spots...... This contains Chinese painting's visual beauty of Chinese oil painting and absorbed the contemporary style of both the East and West and the two-dimensional semi-model space wisdom...... She does use her life to "protect the purity of art" as said by the former Shanghai Museum's curator, Mr. Chen Xiejun.
