Chen Jiuteng, a contemporary Chinese painter and founder of “Forest Imagery” landscapes, grounds his art in traditional ink while infusing it with heavy colors and layered textures. In the blank spaces of xuan paper and the resonance of brush and ink, he challenges the brilliance of Western oil painting, weaving Eastern poetics with Western abstraction into a unique visual language. Each work is an unrepeatable moment of feeling—a landscape, yet also a reflection of life.
