Estyle Art Gallery｜Chen Zheng Long

In the old time, bamboos are planted everywhere in Taiwan. The weather is so comfortable and Spring-like, which is perfect for the bamboos to grow. The artist’s childhood memory is enriched by the surrounding bamboo forest. Thus, he particularly feels for the special plants. The appearances of bamboo creates poetic charts overflowing from its moving and stillness in the eyes. The “Between Bamboo Shadows” serial works not only depicts outside images, but brings out the essence of bamboo with the artist’s insight.
Oriental art is usually deeply philosophical. Different ideas are implied between black and white, color and shadows, moves and stillness, and minimalism and abstractness. In the process of creation, everything is unknown, and everything is ever-changing. An artist must learn from the unknown and begin with the ever-changingness and find new representations and expressions at the moment between breaking and establishing.
