Chen Wenbo’s Artworks: Urban Poetry and Geometric Reconstruction
In comparison with most of painters, Chen Wenbo’s latest paintings present features of urban poetry. These features refer to that theme and signification of the painting are destroyed and accurate visual definition is blurred and extends to a novel sentimentality. To a degree, Chen is identifying an establishment of Chinese contemporary art in a new psychological extent. On Chen’s painting, there is no figure but scene, which could be seen as a stage without actors. However, all these scenes are meaningless. They are decorated luxuriant and brilliant, but there is nothing there. (written by Pili)

People might be able to find some projected social issues on Chen’s painting. There are many urban scenes, for example, empty bottles, dropped drink, spoon on the stray and rear mirror reflecting a car and screen display stock data. All these fragmented scenes are likely to compose a complete piece of urban life. However, these things are just an introduction for the painter. Essentially, Chen is revealing his concern: a visual status of the age. (written by Pao Dong)
