chen Yufan b.1973

Chen Yufan is most known for his abstract paintings. Each artist’s creation is attached to a spiritual carrier while Chen Yufan uses more spiritual slices of memory and such memory is a mixture of reality and imagination. Chen applies nearly a rigorous method to focus on the transcription of his observation，analysis，playing，and doubts for the slices. Chen’s “Into One” is a book that nobody can read，constituted by hole-patterns and seemingly little association with original books and language. However this is the exceptional interpretation of Chen Yufan and he does not interpret a book but the difficulties encountered by traditional culture represented by the book，which is constantly interpreted，deformed in interpretation，distorted，and finally lost the original plain and vivid things.

The points he paints are the smallest particles of things. The image composed by points magnifies any negligible details of things. He also applies concealing method to capture fragments of these details to continue magnification and transcription. A preliminary look of “Into One” often associates people with the genes of organism however this is the gene of culture and memory，which Chen Yufan identifies and restructures using his own techniques. He displays the memories of a modern person with unique overseas Chinese family’s background through different perspectives. The disappeared past and reality，the exceptional feelings，complex and unspeakable psychological experience，conveys a personal interpretation of an artist toward Chinese culture.
