Archive Label 2003:
Thoroughly trained in both traditional Chinese techniques and modern Western methods and media, Hong Xian here incorporates the brushstrokes of the typical Chinese landscape with a composition inspired by abstract expressionism. The natural forms of the mountainside blend into arbitrary patterns that reflect the artist's inner feeling for nature.
