Features: "A sword forged over ten years." Chen Liang has persistently followed his own path, "learning from nature and finding the source within." He has studied the works of masters day and night, constantly gaining insights, combining his observations and experiences of nature to gradually form his unique artistic style. His craftsmanship is profound, his techniques comprehensive, and the landscapes he creates are deeply thought-provoking. The landscapes in his paintings seem not to depict a specific region but rather interpret the shared essence of landscape painting. The first impression of Chen Liang's paintings is vibrant and bright, but as you delve deeper, you will find that within the powerful (qi), everything is graceful and alluring. When you step into the depths of his paintings, you can experience the artist's thoughts, hear his heartbeat, and appreciate the poetic beauty revealed through the gradual layering and unfolding of the work. It is the harmonious unity of yang's vigor and yin's subtlety, an artistic realm of ethereal elegance and tranquil stillness, encompassing the essence of "Zen" and the artist's inner "pure land."
Chen Liang's paintings are clear in their primary and secondary elements, interweaving realism and abstraction with rich layers. He skillfully employs various artistic techniques to bring his ideas to life. In composing his scenes, he may progress from near to far, layer by layer, or move from far to near, gradually deepening the perspective. He even focuses on the central part of the painting, allowing it to naturally fade out toward the edges. His detailed depictions of specific scenes showcase his high level of abstraction—sometimes emphasizing mountains and rocks, other times trees, houses, or often using mist and flowing water as themes. By incorporating the depth-of-field technique from photography and the lighting techniques of Western painting, his works break free from conventional styles, brimming with talent and creativity.
