侯佳男擅长提出概念,把绘画当作服务于概念的工具,而非目的。因此,他 不会强求于手感、肌理、明暗、形体这些绘画的细节。他会用建模软件得到一些想要的素材,用叠加的丙烯化解数码色彩的单调,把最日常的场景变得平滑而失真,体现出膨胀感和欲望感。艺术家在自己创造的世界里扮演着管理者的角色,以此为基调去构建画面。
侯佳男亦擅长以虚构故事为主要脉络来进行创作,他的作品表现出快餐性、 消费性、娱乐性的冲撞感。“这种具有拉伸感的画面,就像如今不断扩大的欲望,”这来自他作为艺术家的敏锐直觉。侯佳男敏感地捕捉了网络虚拟的饕餮盛宴带给年轻一代的视觉过剩体验,虚拟性和美丽陷阱般的时代特征成为艺术家刻画的重要主题。他的作品中充斥了膨胀的华丽的虚拟视觉场景,在特定的时空传达网络图示看似华丽却脆弱的体验感,呈现了年轻一 代对现代消费主义社会及大众文化的观察与辨证思考。

Hou Jia'nan is good at developing concepts and treats painting as a tool to serve the concept rather than an end. Therefore, he will not force painting details such as hand, texture, light and dark, and form. He will use modeling software to get some desired materials, use superimposed acrylics to dissolve the monotony of digital colors, and make most everyday scenes smooth and distorted, reflecting a sense of expansion and desire. The artist plays the manager role in the world he creates, using it as a tone to build the picture.
Hou Jia'nan also specializes in creating fictional stories as the central vein, and his works present the sense of fast food, consumption, and entertainment rushes. “This kind of image with a sense of stretching is like the ever-expanding desire nowadays," coming from the artist's keen intuition. He sensitively captures the experience of visual excess brought to the younger generation by the virtual feast of the Internet, and the virtual and beautiful trap-like characteristics of the era become an essential theme for the artist to portray. The fictitious picture environment is filled with inflated and gorgeous virtual visual scenes, conveying the seemingly gorgeous but fragile experience of Internet iconography in a specific time and space, presenting the young generation's observation and dialectic reflection on modern consumerism society and popular culture.
