Chen Shuzhong solo exhibition @ Linda Gallery
The latest exhibition by Chinese artist Chen Shuzhong at Linda Gallery follows his focus on countryside themes with a collection of 25 of his paintings. Chen grew up in rural Northeastern China, where he first developed a love for rural life and scenic views. Chen's paintings immortalize the simple items found in rural Chinese scenes: carriages, apples, corn and carrots. During his postgraduate time at Luxun Academy of Fine Arts, Chen further developed his technique for capturing both the larger scope of a scene and its finer details.
