Among the theme of traditional Chinese painting artists, He Sen convey the spiritual distance through the traditional painting, presenting the farthest and the closest distance. Like the ancients, the painting producer He Sen expressed his emotion by every single move in a time of carefree, and the completion of the work also means the integrity of catharsis of artist. During the process on handling the same work, He San and the ancient artists found the common pleasure of hand-painting even though they live in different time. As a researcher on painting, He Sen uses a contemporary approach to demonstrate and view of painting again, whether it is a connection to the same work by using different approach, or a representation to intercept part of work like a dragonfly skimming the surface of the water. He Sen’s subversive recreation shows the tireless and diligent pursuit of principles of painting.
After “City Girls Series” have been widely recognized, He Sen expressed a clear view in his new work: sociality is only one part of properties, providing a new way in thinking and observing for society and history to make art work through the times in order to achieve eternal.
