自古以來，所謂的「香草美人」便為文化史的重要傳統，富含詩人騷客際遇的寄託，並逐漸演變成象徵的語彙。在藝術史上，花鳥也與人物、山水並列，成為中國三大畫科，而能有應物象形、陶冶心性之功。

大觀很榮幸此次邀請到何紅玉女士舉辦在臺的首場個展，其以女性婉約的視角凝觀出另一片天地，為喜好水墨的朋友們展示出傳統花鳥繪畫邁向「古質新妍」的藝術境界。

“The beauty of fragrant grass” has long been a highly praised tradition in Chinese culture. The admirations from the poets and literati scholars gradually turned into symbolic phrases. Through the development of history of art, flower and bird, figures and landscapes have established themselves as the most important categories in Chinese painting.

Daguan Gallery is pleased to have invited artist He Hongyu to present her works in her first solo exhibition in Taiwan. We believe ink art lovers would be able to appreciate her delicate approach to conventional flower and bird paintings in the exhibition “Classical Refinement”.
