"Hot Blood" is his work that won the gold medal in the 9th National Art Exhibition. This figure painting with the theme of "Seven Gentlemen" has become a milestone of Han Shuo's Chinese painting creation with its unique expression. It shows the most important characteristics of Han Shuo's figure painting: slightly deformed figure image, dense composition characteristics, concise and euphemistic pen and ink treatment, elegant and profound artistic conception. The lyrical features of Han Shuo's works are not only determined by his pen and ink personality, but also the result of his painstaking management of pictures. Although he seldom paints complex content, the less content, the more difficult it is to compose a composition, especially when there are only a few people or even one or two people in a large painting, and the arrangement of the position can be scrutinized. Han Shuo is best at using the blank part of the picture to create an atmosphere and set off the theme. He often takes the ancient concept of "counting white as black" to the extreme, and the large space not only leaves a lot of imagination space for the viewer, but also adds a pleasing sense of form to the picture. This form of modernity coincides with the appreciation habits of contemporary people, thus forming a visual impact. This explains Klein's idea from another angle: because there is nothing, it is full of power. Han Shuo once said that he likes painting classical themes, thinking that it is a weariness of the noisy life in modern cities and a yearning for a simple and elegant leisure life. His inner ideal will be accidentally discovered in the reading of classical literary works; But he also painted many modern themes, from blood to Song Zhengqi, which reflected the painter's sense of justice and historical responsibility.
Since the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the government has vigorously promoted the creative style of socialist realism, and the main melody works have long been wandering in a relatively fixed mode. Although a hundred flowers blossom and the main melody works also present diversified styles, their characteristics of realism, seriousness and lyricism have never changed. This is especially true for the main melody works created in the form of Chinese painting. Because of the pursuit of realism, he abandoned many technical features of Chinese painting and became a regret or helpless choice for the painter. Han Shuo's extraordinary artistic sensitivity makes his works stand out. The emergence of Hot Blood, one of the best, has undoubtedly added a new paradigm that can be used for reference.
