+ OVERVIEW
After decades of exploration and consideration, one could see that the brilliant and flaming colors in Chu Teh-chun's painting expressed his iercest sentimental sources. Delicate with dexterity and passion in harmonious, this is his constant pursuit of the language expressed in the painting. The changes of lights, the flow of wind, and the alternation of seasons have permeated in the scenery of his painting with uncertain charm. His abstract painting taken from the natural light and shape has depicted a scene combined with imagination and realistic world. In Chu Teh-chun's late works, the lights, whether magniicent red or dreamy blue, lashing from the painting have given out a shining dazzling brilliance like the jewelry glistening in the chaotic universe. Chu Teh- chun is good at creating a romantic dreamy world by breakthrough the partition between time and space. This piece of work was created in 2000, and the picture is tinted with a warm tone, composing with lines, splashing ink spots and blocks luently winding together. As color-performs the expansion of the theme and emerges the artistic conception, by the deinition of this masterpiece - Flaming Dusk, a profound meaning of traditional Chinese philosophy is clearly matching the artist's thinking. Through his painting, Chu Teh-chun has inally conveyed the most profound ideological connotations between human and the nature, which is his ultimate pursuit.
