Du Fu, in his poem "Song of the Lang River," wrote: "What does the color of the Jialing River resemble? It is like cyan black and emerald intertwined.” Cyan black is a color frequently used in Chou Chen's recent paintings. "Yinyi" means fusion, representing the reinterpretation of the ink tones in traditional ink painting using the cyan black color from oil paint. The goal is to create an expression that fuses the spirit of contemporary ink painting with oil painting, reflecting the characteristics of the modern era through a process of creative reinterpretation.
This work primarily continues the spirit of New Ink Painting and creative reinterpretation from the past two years. The compositions mainly feature monochromatic tones, with lines and shapes inspired by various elements of nature, vast universe and mottled traces. During the creative process, various impromptu and free-form techniques such as scraping, smearing, washing, brushing, and dyeing are used to inject idea and structure into the work. The creative journey is like an unknown adventure with ever-changing rhythms. These changes are all reflected in the picture. Through the connections in context, the image sometimes resembles mountains and rocks, and at other times flowers and trees, presenting an ever-changing landscape. In the painting, viewers can see the texture of past years, the instantaneous changes in future space, and the rhythm of the present moment.
