Abstract

Painter Chen Han sheng has resolutely chosen the path of realistic ink figure painting. He explores an artistic language suitable for self-expression through sketching, drawing on traditional landscape and flower-and-bird painting ink techniques for figure painting. With the sentiment of a literati, he experiences life, pays attention to society, shapes the spirit of the times with traditional brush and ink, and thus explores an academic and artistic path in realistic painting.
