Xu Chenyang has been working in the field of figurative painting for many years. personal style. Of course, the most important thing is his unique painting language. During his study and work in Japan, Chen Yang realized the importance of unique painting language, and fortunately established his own painting language.

Despite some changes later, the background color of the language has never changed, which Let Chen Yang's figurative paintings distance from various styles of realistic oil paintings. The distance made Chen Yang stand out, and also made him extremely lonely, but he was not cynical, but was very calm and content with loneliness until the recent outbreak.

Chen Yang not only abandoned herself He has tempered the painting language for decades, and bid farewell to the figurative painting that has been in business for a lifetime. Chen Yang entered the field of abstraction, and created purely abstract works directly without bypassing imagery and expression. This great change came so suddenly that it was a little startling, but it was the inevitable result of years of being alone. If you don't break out in silence, you will perish in silence. Chen Yang also chose to explode, which is the inevitable choice of an artist who has undergone major changes unseen in a century.
