작품 상세

In this quietly composed fishing village surrounded by water and sky, the rustic setting expressed an idealized landscape. The village houses were painted in a style that demonstrates Chung Chen Sun’s distinct application of western abstraction and ink painting techniques. Influenced by the teachings of Taoist philosophies, his bold and experimental works contain an expressive quality emphasised in the broad and linear strokes, highlighting the interconnection of man and nature. Chung Cheng Sun founded Malaysian Institute of Art (MIA) in 1967. He established the International Contemporary Ink Painting Association in 1982. He devoted his time here and worked tirelessly to modernise Chinese ink painting and to promote the development of Malaysian Chinese culture and facilitate international exchanges. A graduate from Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts Singapore, his works have been showcased in international exhibitions held in more than 20 countries. He is considered one of the world's 100 important Chinese artists and is also listed as being in the top 50 artists by the China National Academy of Fine Arts. His solo exhibition Background was held at Pinkguy gallery in 2018.
