Utilizing materials rich in Eastern tradition, such as Chinese ink and ceramics, Chen's artistic practice revolves around capturing the essence of ordinary scenes from nature. Through the lens of postmodernist techniques, he reinterprets existing images, deconstructs original symbols, and reconstructs new visual narratives that resonate with contemporary audiences.
