About


Chinese-born artist Haoran Chen is known for his brooding and psychedelic paintings. His works are not simply capturing the external rational existence, but rather open up a path to his own inner worldly narratives. In the process of his creation, he presents the artist’s own intuition through the filter of his own imagination and alienation. During his seven years of continuous artistic practice, Haoran Chen’s techniques have ranged from realistic and rigorous pencil sculptures to traditional poetic Chinese painting portraits to the contemporary style that integrates multiple layers and multiple techniques in his current works. Relying on his rough color palette, ink splashes and meticulous use of oriental brushes, as well as enriching the layers through mixing, deconstruction, printing,blurring and dip-dyeing, Haoran Chen's works focus on texture and the use of chaotic dark and dirty colors, conveying a sense of calm weirdness, also the ink dyeing processing of his own inner world. Most of the themes of his works focus on pondering about unity and integration and extract narrative from them, demanding immediacy, passion and consideration from.




出生于中国的艺术家陈浩然因为其深沉而迷幻的画作被人所知。他的作品不是单纯描绘捕捉外在的理性存在,而是开辟出一条通往其自身内在宇宙的道路。在创作的过程中,他通过带有自己想象和异化的滤镜来呈现艺术家自身的直觉。在他七年的持续艺术实践中,陈浩然的技法从写实严密的铅笔造像到传统诗意的中国画肖像再到目前作品中整合多种层次,综合多重技法的当代风格。依靠他粗狂的调色与泼墨和细致的毛笔与笔刷使用,以及通过混合,解构,印刷,浸染来丰富层次,陈浩然的作品注重质感和混沌暗色,脏色的使用,传达一种沉稳的诡异感以及创作者对于自身内在世界的墨染加工。他的作品主题多数聚焦于对于归一和融合的思考并从中提取出需求即时性,热情与考量的叙事。
