The Last Cask

Yu Chuan, born in 1982 in Taiwan, is a contemporary artist who graduated from the National Taiwan University of Arts. Currently residing in Shanghai, he combines Western materials with Eastern culture and painting techniques, creating a unique blend of East and West.

Color is a crucial element in Yu Chuan's works. He uses Chinese brush techniques and Western oil paints to express freedom and life on canvas. Chinese painting techniques offer great freedom through ink splashing and brush strokes, while oil paints evoke a sense of happiness. The natural colors he chooses symbolize life.

Chinese mythology is another important element in his art. Choosing motifs like the dragon or phoenix is meant to draw the viewer into an inner reality. Drawing from Buddhist scriptures, the artist believes "a flower is a world, and a tree is the universe," and strives to express this truth in his paintings.

Yu Chuan combines materials, methods, and a deep life philosophy to create his unique art. His brush strokes are strong and rough, seeking to represent the balance between distinctiveness and indistinctiveness in life. His choice of sacred animals aims to reveal the mystery, freedom, and vitality of life. His works always reflect the relationship between people and nature.

Yu Chuan's works break the boundaries of traditional oil painting, combining Western colors with the artistic state of Chinese art.
