Chen Chien-Jung

Chen Chien-Jung was born in Taipei,Taiwan in 1972. He graduated from the Fine Arts Department, Taipei National University of the Arts in 1995, and acquired a master’s degree from the Graduate Institute of Plastic Arts, Tainan National University of the Arts in 2001. Chen bagged the Golden Prize in Drawing from “The 11th International Biennial Print and Drawing Exhibition R.O.C.” in 2003. He is also the winner of “The 10th Visual Arts Prize of Li Chun-shan Foundation” in 2007. Chen’s paintings are unique, for they suggest a kind of “specious ambiguity”. While the structure of his works is often enhanced through architectural elements and drawing lines, painting qualities such as patches and drips of color paints are also applied to suggest abstract beauty, or to dissolve and deconstruct the previously constructed structure.
