Only
in a dream can one visualize the images of serenity, music and beauty
illustrated in the works of Hua Chen. The heavenly women featured in
Chen's luminous paintings exist in a mystical world. Using distinctive
shades of pastel colors, the artist invites you into his own imaginary
world filled with ageless beauty.
Hua Chen was born in 1952 in Shanghai, People's Republic of China. Between
the years of 1973 and 1976, Chen earned a Bachelors Degree of Fine Art
from the Anhui Teacher's University, Anhui, China. He then went on to
attain a Master of Fine Art Degree in sketching, watercolor and oil
painting from the Central Institute of the Fine Arts in Beijing, China.
Chen has earned several titles and awards including Chairman of Anhui Oil
Painting Research Association in China and is a member of the Artists
Association of China.
After relocating to the United States in the late 1990's, Chen's work
became well recognized, resulting in his work being displayed in the
national directory, "Artists of Chinese Origin in North America." His
one-man shows have been exhibited in Japan, Hawaii, China and the United
States.
Hua Chen has been gifted with the ability of creating imagery that
immortalizes the most delicate of subjects on canvas. His rendition of the
female form is sensual but not provocative, making his work welcome in any
setting. Using distinctive shades of pastel colors, the artist invites you
into his own imaginary world filled with ageless beauty. His works are
collected the world over and he has been honored by having his creations
in the permanent collection of the National Art Museum of China.
