BIOGRAPHY:
Born in Zhejiang, China, Hu Chi-Chung immigrated to California in the 1970s. He held several art exhibitions and is one of the May Art Association members.In the early years of his career, he is known for painting horses and teenage girls. His art style is unique combining the brushstroke and natural sand stones to add a more cubical feeling to his art works. "Sand Painting" became the most unique characteristics of the artist.In 1949, he relocated to Taiwan along with the army and continued art creation. In 1955, he attended the shooting championship as a representative of Taiwan and visited the art museums in the west coast. He was deeply touched by abstract expressionist art works and they echoed with his childhood dreams.After returning to Taiwan, he founded the “Si Hai Art Association when he sometimes will paint on flour bags. Later he joined the May Art Association and became of the representatives of Taiwanese modern art movements.Hu Chi-Chung's abstract paintings, at once intricate and vast, evoke what Kandinsky revered in art the Stimmung.Chi-Chung's organic forms, poetically suggestive of animal-life and natural materials such as island-chains, mountains, and caves, express interesting relationships, with fractal-like displays of pattern, between the microcosmic and macrocosmic, the inner and outer realms, and the regenerative double. His use of numerals for titles may point less towards the notion of an ordered sequence and more towards the unnamable, hermetic framework of the artistic process itself.
