Primarily a representational, figurative painter, Shenho Hshieh makes story-driven images of people in their private and vulnerable moments. These individuals, known well to the artist, are often portrayed with subtle expressions, occupying a closed-off, interior environment. Shenho incorporates symbols and exaggerates geometric shapes to emphasize isolation and intimacy. Inspired by genre paintings by artists such as Johannes Vermeer and Edward Hopper, the artist desires to give voice to ordinary people by portraying experiences in their daily lives.
