+ OVERVIEW

One major characteristic of Chuang Che’s paintings is contributed to the influence of splashing technique found in many of the works in the collection of the Beijing Palace Museum, in a sense, he has subtly applied the essence of this unique attribute to western contemporary painting. It was his intention to incorporate brushwork of Chinese painting in the creation process of western painting as an effort to introduce a unique style by merging east and west. From an artistic perspective, the eastern elements pertain to a range of contradictive natures of painting such as concrete and abstract, loose and condense, yin and yang, intense and mild, withered and prosperous. As a painter, Chuang Che pays close attention to brushwork momentum, which is considered a critical technique for Chinese painting; nevertheless, it probably did not receive the amount of attention it deserves from the Eastern artists of Western painting.
