Chu Teh-Chun (1920-2014) was born in Baitu, China. His expansive imagined landscapes of rolling color had increasingly led him to be considered among the elite of China's most illustrious modern painters. His broad expressive brush strokes illicit vast unexplored landscapes that are illustrated through a deeply rooted consideration of the traditions of Chinese painting and calligraphy. Nature unfurls within Chu’s canvases by distorting the viewer's expectation of horizon and perspective. His poetic expression of natural expanse uncovers new realms of the abstract form and in doing so conjure an alternative interpretation of the medium and its capabilities.
