An Artist in Pursuit of Truth | Chinese Artist He Hongzhou

Painting Truth — He Hongzhou "The pursuit of truth is an enduring topic in painting. In an era filled with reverie and color experiences, I can only grasp the sense of 'truth' from the state of the people I see." — He Hongzhou In painting, Western and Chinese styles are indeed vastly different. Western painting seeks the truth of the picture; painting is painting. In contrast, Chinese painting pursues "Yijing" (artistic conception). Besides painting, poetry, calligraphy, and seals are all integral components. It is a unique form of comprehensive art that fuses poetry, calligraphy, painting, and seals into one crucible. Therefore, in terms of style, Western painting is like the plot of a drama, while traditional Chinese painting is the realm of poetry, each possessing a distinct cultural temperament. He Hongzhou is an artist who pursues truth, and I admire him deeply. He pays particular attention to all kinds of people he sees with his own eyes. Whether in creating historical or portrait paintings, He Hongzhou repeatedly ponders and studies them. Once any small, expressive detail of psychological value is captured, he will do his utmost to express it fully. If you like this video please subscribe to this channel Thank you for watching !
