The word ‘Pioneer’ refers to ‘the person that first discover or help develop something new, make exemplary examples for others, or pave the way for others to follow’.
Born in the year 1931, Mr. Wenqi He is a well-known post-war artist who is passionate about art education and creation for his entire life. Since 1964, Mr. He started upon his journey of rural sketch creation, thereby discovering that what really embodies the inner feelings is the everyday life that is often overlooked and even neglected. He then turned to devote himself in a large number of hometown scenery and ancient buildings sketches. Cities and towns of all sizes near the Kaohsiung and Pintung areas in which he lives in, hold footprints of his visits, thereby leaving sketches of precious past features of such areas. In particular are the traditional buildings such as tiles, horsebacks, houses, roof ridges and windows of Liudui Hakka villages, as well as everyday tools such as mortars, spring couplets and Wufu paper cuttings or customs are hugely featured in his works. The series of works are also viewed as Mr. He’s most iconic creations in his career.
