He Duoling is such an artist: He is not only able to detach from all kinds of trends and fashions of today’s art, and devote himself to personal and subjective painting, but also have a lasting, profound and substantive influence on a generation. It became a long, lasting influence that helped forming generation’s consciousness, interests and imagination.
He Duoling’s sketch is obviously much more spiritual than the sensual. His sketches, unlike oil painting he would collect and select materials, are all independent and finished, which are more than exercise. He Duoling puts much attention on limiting the use of the lines and gives his sketches an extraordinary expressiveness by accurately using lines as less as possible.
He Duoling sketched women use as much as possible the line of natural, unvarnished, unpretentious, and edge of light and shadow; and which miraculously put classic and modern, strong and weak, anxiety and peace, introverted and restless together. Therefore the sketches of women are unique and precious of He Duoling’s art, from which it became his origin and destination. |
