TAIWANESE watercolorist Chen Yangchun fuses techniques of traditional ink-wash painting and oil on canvas to produce works that are poetic and dreamy.
Known as the "ambassador of watercolor," Taiwan-based Chen is holding a solo exhibition titled "Love and Beauty" at the Liu Haisu Art Museum through next Tuesday.
His subjects are wide-ranging, from religion to daily life, including a small harbor in Taiwan and a fishing village in Malaysia.
Chen, who has been painting in watercolor for five decades, says he is considering opening a studio in Shanghai, noting there are many old residences of celebrities and scenic suburban water towns that make ideal subjects.
"Now I am considering of opening a studio in Shanghai, as there are so many former residences of celebrities and the canal towns in the suburbs, which are a perfect theme for watercolor paintings," says the artist.
Chen has exhibited and lectured widely around the world. Six years ago he established the Huayang Award to encourage young watercolor painters.
Date: Through April 17, 10am-4pm
Address: 1660 Hongqiao Rd
Tel: 6270-1018
