"Hessing's work resonates with his life experiences from Brooklyn to the Côte d'Azur. His paintings vibrate with color and life, reflecting his unending search for the extraordinary in the ordinary."
Hessing 的作品像一本日记。他是自己人生的见证者。无论是在屋顶、桥上写生,还是深入中国云南、大峡谷的野外之旅,都让他的"户外写生"成为一场冒险。广泛的展览之旅为他笔下的风景、室内景、城市景观与日常物件提供了异域的题材。
1980 年,Karolyi 伯爵夫人邀请他前往位于旺斯(Vence)的艺术家与作家基金会,进行为期三个月的驻留创作。他在那里找到了适合工作的居所与滋养心灵的文化环境。十余年前,他搬到了尼港口(Nice)附近一间更大的画室。
如今他于波士顿与上海拥有长期代理画廊,并在世界各地展出作品。
"In 1972, I decided to dedicate myself to the creation of art that celebrates the beauty around us and the magic in the ordinary."
"我决定将一生献给艺术创作,去颂扬我们身边的美,去捕捉平凡中的奇迹。"
"My ultimate goal is to see the spirit in all things and to express that spirit in such a way that other people will see it, be touched by it, and perceive things anew as a result."
— Jeffrey Hessing
