+ OVERVIEW

Blue is Chu's favorite for base color, it is the color of the ocean and the sky. It' s decent and poetic, and could create the atmosphere between the worlds. "Door of Opening" created in 1988, is dominated by a blue color palette. By this time, the art of Chu Teh-chun had already transformed from saturated ink and expressionistic strokes of calligraphy into a perfectly integrated form of visual representation. 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.
