As an important member of Neozoic Artists in 1990s, He Sen, graduated from Si Chuan Fine Art Academy, has been well-known by China contemporary art circle for his strong expressive painting style and the“ dispirited girl” in his artworks. However, after 2005, He Sen became tired of creating the symbolized concept artwork. For that reason, he started new exploration in creation and, at the same time, he continued to improve girl series. Probably, to avoid noisy reality and pursuing for peace in natural instinct He Sen is trying to create art works with theme of traditional images. In these works, paintings of Li Shan, Xu Wei, Ma Yuan and other traditional Chinese artists were borrowed and these images were painted on the canvas. This experiment is like a venture and, maybe, also the certain result of the Chinese culture's development. It has been thirty years since China contemporary artists began to learn from west and in such a long time China contemporary art had not constructed a whole system for itself. The fact tells that committing to western standard is not the right way for China art and artists. China contemporary art can borrow the western art form; however, the core spirit must be derived from China traditional culture. Only that, it can be truly developed and last for a long time. Maybe, He Sen is putting this culture trend into practice. Surely it is need the test of the time.
