Chu Teh-Chun

Chu Teh-chun's works are really some kind of natural release and a poetic dedication which is dithering and ardent, not restricted by those theories, rules and limitation of visions. By using the persuading lines, he makes his vivid characters appear from his inexact paintings as well as perfecting his fantasies and imaginations.
It is really surprising that there is no perspective of the way westerns use lines, he sees things from distance, and then he creates multiple points, and makes the superposition of which and different arrangement of multi-angle appear, in his works.
In 1999, he was honored French Art Academician of France which is the upmost glory ever received by Chinese artist in the international art field. Chu Teh-chun made just a few lithographs. But it's because of Hoke Art's entrust that this respectable artist brought these 8 poetic styles into the world in his eighties.
