Wu Chen (b.1983, Henan) currently lives and works in Beijing and Chengdu. His paintings evoke a miscellaneous array of ‘artist portraits’ and layered references culled from sources as varied as picture handbooks to exquisite illustrations from art history. Layer by layer they undergo a child-like process of distortion and reassembly, causing one to wonder at the morbidity of such a whimsical sense of imagination.
Major solo exhibition include: Therefore, the Lonely God Can Only be the Orphan of God, Magician Space, Beijing (2020); Bad Man Can Also End Up in Heaven, Magician Space, Beijing(2017); Matisse’s Skirt, Magician Space, Beijing (2014).
