Biography 简历
CHEN DONGFAN (b.1982, Shandong Province, China)
Chen Dongfan obtained his B.F.A. from the Total Art Studio of China Academy of Art, Hangzhou in 2008. Since 2014 he has lived and worked in New York and Hangzhou. His recent exhibitions include: Chen Dongfan: Long Past Dawn, Pirates and Poets Whistle in the Dark, Fou Gallery, New York (2020); Chen Dongfan: Forgotten Letters 2020, Platform China, Beijing (2020); Chen Dongfan: Sanctuary, The Yeh Art Gallery, New York (2020); Chen Dongfan: Heated Bloom, Inna Art Space, Hangzhou (2017). In 2011, the artist participated in Art Basel Liste. In the same year he also participated in a residency project in Torre Canavese, Turin, Italy.
Chen Dongfan has actively participated in various public art projects and has created large scale paintings around the globe, including “Sun Yat-sen Road in Color” (New York, 2020); “The Song of Dragon and Flowers” (New York, 2018); “Live Before You Die” (Greece, 2016); “Where Has Happiness Gone” (Hangzhou, 2011); “Uncertain” (Hangzhou, 2010). In 2018, along Doyer’s Street in New York’s Chinatown, Chen Dongfan realized a large-scale public art project supported by the New York Transportation Department in conjunction with the Chinatown Partnership. The artist took the whole surface of the 61 meter route as a canvas, creating a brightly colored abstract painting The Song of Dragon and Flowers. Chen Dongfan’s work was covered extensively by a number of media. The New York Times reported it as “painting a portrait of the entire street.” In addition to this, the artist received special acclaim from American National and New York's House of Representatives for his exceptional contribution to the area and its community.
In his painting Chen Dongfan emphasizes the expressive tension between brushstrokes, colors and forms along with other elements. His works range from small paper based pieces, large paintings on stretched canvas, and collages produced in the studio, to enormous murals created on building facades. Aside from traditional mediums, Chen Dongfan has also experimented with spaces including libraries, stores, and movie festivals as alternatives; by extending art beyond the two-dimensional space and combining it with other creative forms such as music, dance, and performance, he achieved the unparalleled expressiveness through art that balances between being narrative and poetic, figurative and abstract, collective and individualistic.
