Chen Fuen, Calligraphy in Running Script

This 19th century calligraphic work by Chen Fuen demonstrates the fluidity and spontaneity characteristic of running script, one of the most expressive styles in Chinese calligraphy. Executed in ink on luxuriously prepared gold-flecked paper, the piece showcases the artist's command of brush technique through varied stroke weights and rhythmic movement. The choice of gold-flecked ground elevates the work visually while complementing the ink's tonal qualities, creating a sophisticated interplay between surface and gesture.
