Chu Teh-Chun Reflection on Works on Paper

Chu’s work on paper reflects his passion for ancient Tang and Sung poetry, script and intelligentsia painting. In presenting the artist’s script, aboard his paintings on paper, the exhibition brings along this trinity that, within the Chinese tradition, is inextricably coupled. The linear mark-making and layering of Chu’s work reflects the dynamic rhythm of his running script, and his ink washes square measure predominately dead in black, however, square measure highlighted by the occasional use of red or inexperienced. This putting use of colour is echoed in his gouache and oil work, that generate sources of sunshine at intervals a dark and region natural setting.

Chu Teh-Chun began his creative coaching at National Academy of Fine Arts, Hangzhou. Instead of ‘Westernising’ Chu’s technique, it inspired him to find ‘abstract’ parts at intervals his own Chinese painting tradition. He developed his own rhetorical language, melding his coaching as a trained worker and a painter to form works that elaborately coalesce each medium. His paintings, that square measure vivacious and choked with movement, were heavily influenced by the sturdy brushstrokes of the calligraphically line and have a profound sense of depth, poetry and music.

Although predominately abstract, Chu’s work employs the dramatic movement and varieties of imaginary landscapes. These landscapes don't appear frozen in an exceedingly specific place, however, draw upon Chu’s in-depth travels to the city, Vietnam, Sri Lanka, Egypt. Oil works together with ‘Untitled’, 1970, apply the normal vertical stress of Chinese genre with a suggestion of a looming mountain within the high corner of the image. This before long dissipates at an all-time low of the painting wherever solid reality filters into wild, suggestive brushstrokes, abstracted light-weight and shade of colour.
