These two works by Chen Wen Hsi showcase the Singapore-based Chinese master's fluid command of traditional ink on paper, capturing sparrows with spontaneous, expressive brushstrokes rooted in the literati painting tradition. In the first work, eleven sparrows are arranged with a dynamic yet balanced energy, while the second depicts three birds nestled near a rock, evoking a quiet, contemplative moment in nature. Together, the pieces reflect Chen's ability to distill the essence and liveliness of his subjects with economy and grace.
