About Work

I’m enchanted by the fields and forests in these paintings as I walk past them. When I take a closer look, the color blocks abstract the trees that resemble rocks existing for eons. When I admire them from a distance, the trees stand out on the dark background and become so figurative as if I could touch them. In addition to rhapsodizing about the excellence of each painting, I’m amazed by his consummate skill with the golden ratio (which reminds me of Mark Rothko). In Mr. Chan’s paintings, the viewers experience not just great art, but also an inexpressible, implicit, reserved and profound language of Chinese poetry emerging from utter tranquility, as well as an atmosphere of secluded escape.

The paintings of Chinese-French artist Chan Kin Chung have been unanimously praised by Eastern and Western art critics. Chan's realistic paintings mainly depict everyday life and natural scenery. He observes objects in a contemplative and tranquil manner, expressing his unique style of solemnity in his works, which also reflects his contemplation of life and aesthetic ideals.
