          CHEN WEN HSI : Sparrows by the Reeds

          Est: RM33,000 - RM55,000

          Soft in sight with graceful subtlety, Chen Wen Hsi illustrates his depiction of sparrows in their element, flying by some reeds. He was always keen on nature and animals as the subject of his artworks. Using Chinese ink and watercolour on paper for this masterpiece, he showcases and oriental- style technique with immaculate brush strokes. Chen was proficient in both traditional Chinese ink and Western oil painting, and experimented with a variety of styles ranging from Fauvism to Cubism. In Chen’s exhibition held in May 1956, Frank Sullivan noted his fascination for man-made things and clutter. The artist loved to experiment with the interplay of light and forms in chaotic subjects. His unique style showed interest in angles but he is not Cubist; strays not far from reality and is obsessed with shapes, and yet not an abstract painter.

          CHEN WEN HSI : Two Ducks

          Est: RM26,000 - RM50,000

          Chen Wen Hsi was adept at both traditional Chinese ink and Western oil painting. His Western-style works in the early 1950’s were realistic depictions infused with post- impressionistic and expressionistic elements. He experimented with various styles and techniques ranging from Fauvism to Cubism as well as acrylic, viscous paints and sand on canvas. His art evolved over time and transformed from simplified forms and strong colours to cubism, and later abstraction. In this masterpiece, Chen Wen Hsi illustrates his abstract mastery using ink and colour on paper in a more vibrant manner through his interpretation of two white and brown-feathered ducks in their natural state of habitation. You can see a more Western influence in the painting in comparison to his other graceful works. Nevertheless, his depiction of the ducks is proof of his exquisite multi-technique talent.

          CHEN WEN HSI : Two Gibbons

          Est: RM28,000 - RM45,000

          The black of the Chinese ink in Chen Wen Hsi’s works is sometimes accompanied by subtle shades of brown that make up tree trunks or the skin of gibbons showing through black fur. Oftentimes, dabs and strokes of the occasional green of leaves, interrupt the monochromatic aspects of the works. All these muted tones come together to suffuse the ink works with a harmonious feel. It is easy to get lost in Chen Wen Hsi’s skilful handling of the brush in depicting the gibbons’ fur. The artist alternates between fine and broad brushstrokes as well as between wet and dry ones, all to different effects. Sometimes, all these different brush strokes can be found on the body of a single gibbon, enhancing its three-dimensional quality. At other times, they are applied separately on different gibbons.
