Chen Yingjie 陈英杰


Chen Yingjie was born in 1991, Guangdong, China. Having graduated from the Raffles Design Institute in Singapore, Chen lives and works in Shunde District, Foshan City. Chen Yingjie (aka. Hua Tunan) is committed to easel painting, large-scale murals, on-site practice creation and installation, in the practice of street graffiti art, through different media, he explores the combination of traditional Chinese ink painting and Western street graffiti art, and strive to find a balance between the two contradictory and antagonistic cultural forms to break free from cultural shackles, and establish a new personal artistic language. Chen embodies a range of surging emotions with his tactile and dynamic compositions. Abandoning the paintbrush used in traditional Chinese ink paintings, the artist utilises spontaneous body movements in his creative process and adopts splashing and spraying techniques illustrating his own interpretation of a contemporary Chinese landscape. 

陳英杰,1991年出生於中國廣東,居佛山順德,畢業於新加坡萊佛士設計學院。

藝術家致力於架上繪畫、大型壁畫、現場行為創作和空間裝置,通過不同的媒介,探索中國傳統水墨畫與西方街頭塗鴉藝術的結合,力求在兩種矛盾且對抗的文化形態間找到平衡,掙脫文化束縛,建立全新的個人藝術語言。他拋棄了東方傳統水墨畫中使用的畫筆,轉而利用自身隨意的肢體動作,採用潑濺和噴灑的創作手法,藉此詮釋出陳式的當代山水意境。
