Tian Chen

Resonance of form and spirit, make space, let resonance, evolve - this is the essence of Tian’s painting approach. Like in sailing, he keeps his mind open to the interplay of the elements and the situation, and surfs with the moment. Tian is an active member on sailboat racing teams in the South Bay.

Tian likes a quick, spontaneous approach. Loose, elusive work gives his collectors a chance to relate to his paintings based on their own mood and vision, in order to feel and see something different every time they look at his paintings.

His art is a poetic infusion of distant antiquity revisited in the future. Through his vigorous studies in academic classic paintings in his early years, Tian has traveled far beyond the influence of historic style. His inherent sensitivities have evolved through his cutting-edge industrial design work.  He uses his medium to give life and form to a more expansive vision.

Throughout his life, he has continued to evolve and expand his artistry by studying under master painters.  His artworks have been collected by many international private art collectors.

Tian currently gives lectures on oil and watercolor painting and lives in Los Angeles, California.
