Chuang Che: Solo Exhibition in National Art museum of China displays Chuang Che’s painting style that infuses the essence of Chinese calligraphy strokes into Western oil paintings. This fusion of the East and West resulted in his own unique style. He once said that “Through daily contact and experience, the brush strokes and script variations in calligraphy have now become a part of my creative soul. What I want to do is to rediscover the original nature of calligraphy. Wouldn’t it be truly magnificent to use the strokes of the running cursive to depict the mountains and rivers?” (excerpt from Cheng Chang-sheng’ s The Modern Chinese Painting of Chuan Che art review) The running cursive techniques for forceful/subtle, dense/sparse, ying/yang, thick/pale and dry/wet were inter-mixed with each other to create a new kind of Chinese landscape painting. The unique perception of the mountains and rivers within his mind were given shape on the canvas to create a sense of unlimited energy between the heaven and earth.
Chuang Che’s solo exhibition at the National Art Mseum of China in Beijing was with the theme of “One with the cosmos through brush strokes.” After Chao Wu-chi and Chu Teh-chun, he will surely become the next grand master of Chinese abstract art.a
