Xie Tianzhuo uses traditional painting materials to realize the scenes created in his imagination. He often sketches patches of dark clouds, unorganized scenes reminiscent of scattered hay or overgrown jungles. The "main event" in the paintings is hidden the ever-present strange reality that is revealed. In these scenes, an exhausted, homeless, confused young man is wedged into a corner of the chaos, pacing back and forth yet lost. In his works, we often see mountains and rocks treated in the same fashion as ancient classical painters once did, with the impression left on the artist by the calligrapher's brush readily apparent. For this reason, through viewing his works it easy to reminisce about natural scenes that can be viewed, but can also be walked through or even lived in, yet the spiritual quality of his paintings, on the other hand, has a much darker, even Gothic characteristic. In a way, the choice of a certain media in which to work is somewhat random, yet it must be able to honestly express lies inside in the artist's heart and mind. In Xie Tianzhuo's paintings, we see how choice of media is crucial in allowing an artist to fully express himself. -He Jian (Artist)
