在我们急剧的城市化进程中，负载于乡村城镇的记忆，已经成为漂浮的、无所附着的剩余物，但也越来越明显地纳入到于艺术家个人的创作和想象之中。而贺丹的绘画艺术具有一定的代表性。
Amid the rapid process of urbanization, memories of the villages or small towns are fading out. They are floating in the air with no root but are seen more in the creation and imagination of artists. The works of He Dan can be the representative in this perspective.
贺丹的绘画总是以人山人海的簇拥和虚置的景观来给予来呈现的。他在这些繁复的排列和描绘中，直接表现了众生在陌生而充满诱惑的城市碎片裂痕里，所形成的困惑、木讷、紧张，甚至一时满足的狂欢场景。这是从现实性的时空中寻找历时性和共时性的记忆，并测度着现实的变化，折射了文化记忆对我们未来人生的潜在规约。同时，在时代背景或人物命运的变迁上，他总是自觉地将个人感受嵌入到曾经的历史与时代的环境，使观者能够通过他个人的记忆来审视过往的集体记忆。这既是重构集体记忆的艺术转化方式，也是对我们文化记忆即将消逝时刻的一种追认与命名。
The paintings of He Dan feature packed crowds and unreal settings. Through these complicated layouts and depictions, he demonstrates the confusion, numb, nervousness, and the ephemeral ecstasy in carnivals arisen from the strange and tempting fragments of urban life. It is the attempt to seek the memory of diachrony and synchrony in the real time and space and measure the evolution of reality, therefore reflecting the implicit restriction cultural memory poses on our future lives. Meanwhile, in the depiction of the lives of people from different times, he always puts himself at the position of the history and time background of then and guides the audience to reflect on the collective memory through his point of view. This is both an artistic transformation to reconstruct the collective memory and an acknowledgment and eulogy to our fading collective memory.
而现代化对我们与其说是一个场景，不如说是一种隐喻的显现。熟悉的乡镇、熟悉的历史、熟悉的生活细节和个人的成长环境，作为珍贵的个体经验和地域文化的记忆，在文化全球化如稗草生长的时代里，已经有意无意地成为人们保有“本真”，抗拒“格式化”的重要资源，以及安全感的根柢。
For us, modernization is a metaphor rather than a concrete scene. The once familiar town, history, life details, and one’s upbringing, as valuable memories of personal experience and local culture, have consciously or unconsciously become the important resources for people to keep their “originality” and to resist “conformity”, as well as to secure their root and serenity of mind.
