+ OVERVIEW
In the 1980s, Chu Teh-chun had fully used lines, dots, and rough strokes in Chinese calligraphy and painting. The pitching, pause and transition, strokes and brushes in Chinese calligraphy could be found in his works during this period. By the late 1980s, Chu Teh-chun inclined to use natural light in his painting for deeper interpretation and tried to put more colors into picture. He adopted a more extensive and emotional creative way to extend the spirit of Chinese culture. He has also put rich colors into his creative works, which shows affluent and sentimental feelings. "Vibrations lumineuse" created in 1986, is depicted in a dynamic layout with delicate fabric, accurate beauty and extreme expression. The painting shows the jumping rhythm with power. The dots and blocks seemed like symphony performance, integrated with the fluency of Chinese cursive writing and the Western rhythm of visual aesthetic.
