Han Mo
China
Mo Han paints with cool colors, more modern than warm colors that are a favorable choice for most of the contemporary oil painters. He pursues mystery and aestheticism to his art. Paintings such as Twilight and Wheat, which show two young ladies dressed in flowing red, immersing in the natural world, present a particular beauty never subjugated by the secular world and far from the primitiveness.
In 2010, Mo Han created a series of works known as Amanda’s Puddle, featuring a simple and innocent girl in a mysterious and dreamlike aura, forging a pure and exquisite visual effect. It brings into sight the difference between traditional aestheticism and modern one in image features.
Girls in Mo Han’s paintings are quiet; they reveal emotion with body, costumes and eyes, reflecting clear and pure expression of emotion.
