Chu Teh-Chun (1920–2014): Bridging Eastern Tradition and Western Abstraction
Chu Teh-Chun was a visionary artist who masterfully fused the lyrical beauty of traditional Chinese painting with the expressive power of Western abstraction. Born in China in 1920, he trained at the Hangzhou Academy of Fine Arts before relocating to Paris in 1955. Immersed in the vibrant European art scene, he was profoundly influenced by Abstract Expressionism while maintaining a deep connection to the fluid brushwork and poetic landscapes of Chinese calligraphy. This synthesis resulted in dynamic, atmospheric compositions that evoke both energy and serenity.
