Chu Teh-chun: The Unexpected
“Blue is the most spirited colour in nature, it is filled with poetic subtlety as well as all-encompassing amiability, blue belongs to all life, and the earliest life was born from blue – in the ancient oceans.” – Chu Teh-Chun “In 1990, Chu Teh-Chun moved to a large studio in Vitry-sur-Seine, just outside of Paris….
Chu Teh-chun: Crossing
“His handling of colours to represent elements of light and dark were seamlessly executed in Crossing (lot 334) – appearing for the first time at auction, this is an iconic example created at the height of Chu’s mature period. The free and uncontrolled brushstrokes wielded on canvas are all crafted with great skill and precision,…
Optimism: Happy New Year 2025
“The paintings of Chu Teh-Chun dated between 2004 and 2006 present images that convey more to the viewer than the artist’s personal preferences or the pursuit of a more dynamic style. Rather, Chu examines each work in the hopes of further developing their uniqueness individually. Through the utmost strikingly abstract landscapes, the viewer is able…

Chu Teh-Chun: Tender Memories
“The pastel blue background in Tendres Souvenirs (Tender Memories) resembles the fleeting past, and the various overlapping brushstrokes placed on top are reminiscent of the artist’s happy and carefree experiences. Various shades of blue are used to denote the big and small events in his life, and the blackish brown colour blocks at the bottom…
Franz Schubert: Trout Quintet
“Chu Teh-Chun once said that “Kandinsky’s creation of abstract art drew inspiration from Cézanne theories on painting, which in turn came from musical expression”. Elan dans l’inspiration perfectly encapsulates this impression, where the musicality of Chu-Teh Chun’s art is on fully display. As a classical music enthusiast, Chu has always been deeply entranced by music,…

2Cellos: Benedictus
In Douce quietude A…, Chu used free, uncontrolled brushstrokes to draw high, rugged mountains in the middle of the painting, creating a powerful image. He puts a lot of emphasis on the fluidity and movement of the brushstrokes. Flowing brushstrokes are developed from Chinese calligraphy and feel automated and spontaneous. Comparing this piece of work…
Martha Argerich Plays Beethoven
“Chu created a series of artworks in the 1990s that explored shadows and light, forms and colours, as he began to shift towards inner explorations, which the artist described as “roaming among my memories.” … The painting presented here, is a large-scale work from the series that epitomizes the artist’s fluidity with light and masterful…
Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater: Revelations
“Line is an important element in painting; it composes the forms and demonstrates the brushwork of an artist. Chu’s brushstrokes are rapid and ever-changing, with varied speeds, weights and rhythms. Lively and energetic, Chu’s brushwork scales the image like a dancing snake. He once said, “I am from the East, and there are a lot…

Chu Teh-chun: Plurality (2003)
“…Nature is absorbed into the artist’s thought and then undergoes refinement, and it is the power of the artist’s imagination, his sensibility, and his inner character that are revealed on the canvas.
