Weilian·ye, famous poet Keats once wrote a poem about dreams, "I do, I'm willing to use my garments in your feet, but I was too poor, in addition to dreaming, nothing; and I have spread my dreams under your feet, your feet lightly, because you are my dream. ”
No fashion artists in oily hair and pointed shoes, also has no character artist glossy bald head or shoulder-length locks, first met Dong He, he wore a seemed obsolete a decade down jacket, glasses cracked corner, a pair of forever sleep awake eyes turning to Francis · when Bacon, glistening.
Francis · Bacon is one of the favorite artist Dong He, with the era's most influential United Kingdom, like the artist, Dong He likes painful look at the world. After 80 artists, he talked with own young artists is not the same as in the same period, he neither cartoons nor small, fresh, but both pity and terror in side of life-nature shows, as if he had been gone the memories left by tracks.
Wu Jin famous art broker had to help people remember Dong He, he said, the names that give off light, could be the next Liu Wei and Zhang enli.
Even in the most difficult of times and has never abandoned art
In 2000, decided to apply for the Central Academy of fine arts of Dong He doesn't know, he opened for up to five years, "the University entrance exam marathon."
In these five years, Dong He has four years of "pass" of the Central Academy of fine arts, but failed each time, because he was not qualified for the English. Close relatives and friends tell him, if you don't get a place at University, just last school on the line. Relatives also abruptly told him that, "since the test for such a long time without pass, probably because of his lack of capacity, the other way, don't waste your time. "But Dong He never wavered, he insisted on going to Beijing, be sure to go to oil painting.
"First chose Beijing because I wanted to see the exhibition, Liaoyang international exhibits almost no, I want to see the master's works. And Liaoyang have no good bookstores, book and many books of the major bookstores in Beijing. "After he heard of the Central University of nationalities do not require English, he was very surprised," and don't English grade schools? "Last year, Dong He entered the oil painting Department of the Central University for nationalities.
After I went to College, he does not mind playing don't fall in love, trying to do work. In 2006, he decided to participate in the Shanghai International Art Biennale, but no money, he told the same dorm roommate borrow 800 bucks, went to Shanghai alone. Remove travel and money to buy works of material, he had almost no money to eat. One day he bought a bottle of big Cola drinks a day. "Because I like this thing, you won't find it hard. ”
Active on college campuses, Dong He looks very different side of her peers, he entered the early "created". In the last year of College, he started with an obvious personal style works of creation. It is based on the premise, still at three o'clock, Dong He contracted a new era dominated by operating young artists Gallery, became the only one in the class in the school contracted with Gallery "artist".
After graduation, in order to uphold the dream of professional artists, Dong He did not like the design into the company as the other students or career change. Friends told him, "you can work during the day at night to do creative, so one can live. "Dong He thought inappropriate," If you get up and running, almost had no desire to work with all my heart. "He had rented a small house in the residential area of the old Studio, also used by copying the works of Van Gogh, who recorded art teaching CDs and selling pictures to earn a living. Dong He kept repeating the words, "If you like it, wouldn't feel so hard."

Dong He collector, famous France film star Sophie Marceau is perhaps the most faithful. 2010 came to China, she went with his new boyfriend, kelisiduofu·bolante came to the exhibition of Dong He, Dong He works as background for France magazine photo shoot Rainbow.

Once signed up with Dong He's former gallery owners, art dealers said Lin song of the century, Dong He wasn't symbolic of artists, belonging to creative artists, which is hard to come by.
Today, Dong He not far from 798 iron Art Studio, here is the place where he works and lives. Bean and his two dogs together and not point, Dong He very satisfied everyday late at night to do his creativity, didn't go to bed until the morning, "was more quiet at night, while drawing easier to calm. ”
Apart from the man himself, Dong He seen in the works of this exhibit a wide variety of animals, such as bears, hedgehogs, ducks, crows, dogs, and so on. In these animals, Dong He likes is the picture of a deer.

Non-cartoon cartoon generation artists
Now after 80 artists are called "cartoons". When Dong He, in cooperation with the Gallery of the new era, also once drew a cartoon works.
He later refused to draw cartoon works, particularly clearly in the cartoon works. "That was too easy, another scene, another face is a picture. ”
Dong He works, see hardly any symbolic, with a lot of young artists meet market and stressed that work with different symbols, Dong He does not want any of his works "symbol properties", "when I was young, exuberant period of creativity, you yourself using symbols to stand, it is a very unfortunate thing. "Dong He said.
Dong He works mostly on the life, death, and remembered thinking, Dong He said that while he and his works are in question, is the answer to the question in itself.
Dong He started when he was at College these grim topic, what he called past "Summary". His or sad or brutal expression of his feelings and thoughts to the outside world. He could not imagine, give the most realistic, most need to understand things, doing very unreal things yourself an idea what it would be. Dong He says, "art is a lifetime thing."
No matter how humor and real-life Dong He doesn't matter, his works always conveys a brutal expression of mildly, perhaps related to the premature death of his mother, maybe it's because he refuses to be fooled in the reality of the so-called "sweet".
Weilian·ye, famous poet Keats once wrote a poem about dreams, he said, "I do, I'm willing to use my garments in your feet, but I was too poor, in addition to dreaming, nothing; and I have spread my dreams under your feet, your feet lightly, because you are my dream. ”
And embrace all dreams of younger artists, like Dong He may also wish to be like in the future, Francis · Bacon, the real "master". However, "because I like, so I do not think hard" before becoming masters, recognized by the secular society, has become less important, important is he's going to be my whole life chasing and intoxicated.
著名诗人威廉·叶慈曾写过一首有关梦想的诗，“我愿意，我愿意用我的衣服铺在你的脚下，但是我太穷，除了梦，一无所有；于是，我只有把我的梦铺在你的脚下，脚步请放轻，因为你踩的是我的梦。”
没有如今时尚艺术家的油头粉面和尖头皮鞋，也没有个性艺术家的油亮光头或及肩长发，第一次见到董鹤，他穿了一件似乎过时了十年的羽绒服，眼镜碎了一角，一双永远睡不醒的眼睛谈到弗朗西斯·培根时，闪闪发亮。
弗朗西斯·培根是董鹤最喜欢的艺术家之一，同这位本世纪最具影响力的英国艺术家一样，董鹤也喜欢用痛苦的眼光看待世界。作为八零后艺术家，他又跟与自己同期的年轻艺术家显得不一样，他既不卡通，也没有小清新，而是将生命天性中既可怜又恐怖的一面示人，仿佛是在已经消失了的记忆里留下了由此通过的痕迹。
著名艺术经纪人伍劲曾让人们记住董鹤，他说，这个将会发光的名字，可能是下一个刘炜或者张恩利。
即使在最艰难的时候，也从未放弃艺术
2000年，一心决定报考中央美术学院的董鹤还不知道，他开启的是长达五年的“高考马拉松”。
在这五年当中，董鹤有四年都“考上”了中央美术学院，但是每次都落榜，原因是他不合格的英语成绩。身边的亲戚朋友都劝他，如果考不上大学就算了，随便上个学校就行。也有的亲戚不客气地跟他说，“既然考了这么长时间都没有考上，可能因为自己的能力不够，换一个方向，不要浪费时间。”但是董鹤从未动摇，他一定要去北京，一定要考上油画专业。
“当初选择北京是因为想看展览，辽阳国际化的展览几乎没有，我想看大师的作品。并且当时辽阳没有什么好的书店，北京各大书店的画册和书很多。”后来他听说中央民族大学不要求英语成绩，他很惊讶，“还有不要英语成绩的学校？”最后一年，董鹤考上了中央民族大学的油画系。
到了大学之后，他不疯玩儿也不谈恋爱，一心想的都是做作品。2006年，他决定参加上海国际艺术双年展，但是没有钱，他跟同宿舍的室友借了八百块钱，只身去了上海。去除路费和买作品材料的钱，他几乎没有钱吃饭。有一天，他买了一瓶大可乐，喝了一天。“因为喜欢这个事儿，你就不会觉得它辛苦。”
在活跃的大学校园里，董鹤与身边的同学显得很不一样，他很早就进入了“创作阶段”。在最后一年高考时，他已经开始了明显带有个人风格作品的创作。也正是基于这样的前提，还在上大三时，董鹤就签约了当时以经营年轻艺术家为主的新时代画廊，成为当时班上唯一一个在校与画廊签约的“艺术家”。
毕业以后，为了坚持职业艺术家的梦想，董鹤没有像其他同学那样进公司做设计或者转行。朋友劝他，“你可以白天上班晚上做创作，这样也能生活下去。”董鹤觉得不合适，“如果你进入工作状态，就几乎没有心思全心全意地去创作。”他曾在破旧的居民区里租了一间小房子做工作室，也曾经靠临摹凡高作品，帮人录美术教学光盘和卖画维持生计。董鹤一直重复那句话，“如果你喜欢，就不会觉得辛苦”。

与苏菲·玛索在798共度一天
在董鹤的收藏者中，著名的法国影星苏菲·玛索可能最忠实。2010年来中国时，她特意带着自己当时的新男友克里斯多夫·伯兰特来到董鹤的画展，以董鹤的作品为背景为法国杂志《虹》拍摄大片。
2009年，苏菲·玛索曾经在上海买过董鹤的两幅作品，《危险，失重》和《谁将为你点燃烛火》。苏菲·玛索在中国只买过两个年轻艺术家的作品，一个是现在已经得到成功运作和市场认可的年轻艺术家陈可，另外一个就是董鹤。
董鹤从当时代理自己的画廊那里领到钱之后，并不知道是谁买了自己的画。直到一年以后，苏菲·玛索主动联系到董鹤，并希望以董鹤的作品为背景，请他为自己安排拍摄地点。
董鹤在当时自己签约的世纪翰墨画廊，按照苏菲·玛索的要求，以自己的作品为背景，安排了杂志的拍摄，并与苏菲·玛索和克里斯多夫·伯兰特在798度过了一天。就在前一天，董鹤还激动得睡不着觉，见面后让董鹤觉得惊奇的是，苏菲·玛索除了询问很多关于作品的问题以外，也问了很多董鹤个人的问题。和苏菲·玛索交谈中，董鹤得知，《危险，失重》和《谁将为你点燃烛火》就挂在苏菲·玛索家一进门的玄关。

2013年9月10日，董鹤的个展《你只剩下画笔》在798的Hi小店开幕。这是董鹤的第一个个展，据Hi小店工作人员介绍，展览开幕的当天，就有一半以上的作品被卖出或者预售。
你只剩下画笔》展出了董鹤自2009年到2012年以来的二十余幅作品，涵盖人物、动物、风景等多方面内容。曾经与董鹤签约的前世纪翰墨画廊老板、艺术经纪人林松说，董鹤不是符号化的艺术家，属于创作型的艺术家，这是很难得的。
如今，董鹤在距离798不远的环铁艺术城有一间工作室，这里也是他工作和生活的地方。和他的两只爱犬豆豆和不点在一起，董鹤很满足，他每天深夜做创作，直到早上才睡觉，“晚上的时候比较安静，画画时更容易心静。”
除了关注人本身，也能够在董鹤本次展览的作品中看到各式各样的动物，如熊、刺猬、鸭子、乌鸦、狗等等。在这些动物中，董鹤最喜欢画的是鹿。“不知道为什么，画鹿的时候就会比画其他动物顺手，画完了也会特别高兴，”董鹤说，“无论是在东方还是西方，鹿都被赋予着很多美好意义，有灵性、善良、聪明等等。”董鹤也画了各式各样的鹿，在这次的个展中，也有一幅关于鹿的作品，画面中，董鹤把鹿的头进行拆分，依次悬在一个透明的正方体之上，画面背景的处理也让很多人好奇他的创作方法，董鹤为这幅作品起名叫做《鹿的灵魂》。

卡通一代的非卡通艺术家
如今的八零后艺术家被称作“卡通一代”。董鹤在与新时代画廊合作的时候，也曾经画过一批卡通类的作品。
后来他拒绝再画卡通类的作品，特别是带有明显符合化的卡通类作品。“那个太简单，换个场景，换个表情就是一张。”
在董鹤的作品中，也几乎看不到任何的符号化，跟很多年轻艺术家迎合市场而强调作品的符号性不同，董鹤不希望在自己的作品中有任何的“符号性质”，“在年轻的时候，创造力旺盛的时期，就用符号把自己拘泥住，是一件很可惜的事。”董鹤说。
董鹤的作品大多是对生命、死亡、存在和记忆的思考，董鹤说，他和他的作品在提问的同时，本身也是问题的答案。
董鹤在上大学的时候就开始挑衅这些严酷的话题，他称之为对过去的“总结”。他的一些或忧伤或残酷的表达，源于他对外部世界的感受和思考。他不能想象，放弃最现实、最需要深刻体会的东西，去做一个构想中很虚幻的东西的自己会是什么样子。董鹤说，“做艺术是一辈子的事”。
无论现实生活中董鹤有多幽默和无所谓，他的作品总会传达一种对于残酷的婉转表达，这或许跟他母亲的过早离世有关，或许是因为他拒绝被蒙蔽在现实所谓的“甜蜜”中。
著名诗人威廉·叶慈曾写过一首有关梦想的诗，他说，“我愿意，我愿意用我的衣服铺在你的脚下，但是我太穷，除了梦，一无所有；于是，我只有把我的梦铺在你的脚下，脚步请放轻，因为你踩的是我的梦。”
与所有怀抱梦想的年轻艺术家一样，董鹤或许也希望将来成为像弗朗西斯·培根一样的，真正的“大师”。但是，在“因为喜欢，所以不觉得辛苦”面前，是否成为大师，获得世俗社会的认可，已经变得不再重要，重要的是他将要穷尽一生地追逐与陶醉。
