Chen Wen Hsi

[b. 1906-1991]

Chen Wen Hsi was a Chinese-born Singaporean painter known for his use of representational imagery as a catalyst for creating abstract shapes and colors.

Influenced by traditional Chinese paintings, the early Cubist works Pablo Picasso, and Paul Klee, Chen created his own vocabulary of forms and colors based in the observation of nature, animals, and man-made structures. Born on September 9, 1906 in Guangdong, China, he studied at the Xinhua Academy of Fine Arts in Shanghai before moving to Singapore in 1948 during the Chinese Civil War. The artist died on December 17, 1991 in Singapore.

Today, his works are in the collection of the Singapore Art Museum.
