In his first solo exhibition in the U.S., Chinese painter Chen Wenguang presented four monumental paintings that were created using oxidized mineral pigments along with silver and gold leaf at the Dillon Gallery in NYC. The techniques employed by Chen date back to the Tang Dynasty (618-907) in China but are reintroduced through contemporary presentation. Chen’s work has been featured in several Chinese institutions, including Daiichi Museum, and his recently acclaimed solo exhibition at the Guangdong Museum. Chen completed his Masters and Doctorate of Arts Degrees from the Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music.
