Chu Teh-Chun — Hong Kong No.25

Chu Teh-Chun

Hong Kong No.25

1997

A dynamic interplay of sweeping brushstrokes and vibrant color fields fills this gouache and watercolour composition, reflecting Chu Teh-Chun's signature fusion of Western abstraction with the fluid energy of Chinese calligraphic tradition. Rich tones of deep blue, crimson, and gold emerge and dissolve across the surface, evoking the luminous atmosphere and urban vitality of Hong Kong. The layered washes of watercolour beneath bold gouache marks create a sense of depth and movement, suggesting both the city's dazzling light and its restless, pulsating spirit.
