"For me, colors say a lot of things and I use a lot of colors. So when I see such paintings with only black and white, I found it really amazing," she said.
"It's so big and it's very successful to do such a big piece of work. It gives you a lot of emotions," she added.
Etienne Dekimpe, coordinator of an exhibition focusing on China held in 2007, liked the paintings very much, saying that "it's monumental art in a monumental place."
"Standing in this building with Mr. Xu Longsen's paintings, we have a feeling that as human beings, we are too small and we have to hold respect for nature," Dekimpe said.
