Renowned for his unique heavy-color landscape painting style. Born in the countryside and having endured a challenging childhood, he found solace in painting during adversity, embarking on his artistic path almost entirely through self-study.
After reaching middle age, he broke through traditional conventions, integrating heavy color techniques with ink wash language. Through the tension of color and experimentation with brush and ink, he reconstructs the artistic conception of landscapes. His works inherit the poetic beauty and lyrical charm of Eastern landscape painting while responding to the visual experiences of Western modern art through abstract forms, free use of color, and a contemporary sense of space. It is this cross-cultural expression that gives his work resonance both domestically and internationally. In recent years, his creations have become more spontaneous, entering a state of "forgetting both the self and the object." His canvases possess both the spirituality and philosophical contemplation of the East and the openness and tension of Western abstract art, forming a unique artistic language within a shared Sino-Western aesthetic context.
"I irrigate my brush and ink with pain, interpret color with joy, and contemplate my inner self through nature—my paintings are landscapes, and are life. Upholding individuality, I interpret a unique art." — Jiuteng Chen
