Catalogue Note

"Literarily speaking, Chu The-Chun is an archaeologist and also a romantic person with a rich imagination. Chu does not convey the meaning of his work straightaway to the viewer. Instead, he let us stand in front of his works with beautiful subjects and elements of life to think, contemplate, enjoy and read. The landscapes are infused with the painter's own emotions and life experiences. Chu transmits his thoughts on the universe to us, where we could clearly see his passion and love for life."
