Dramatic yet hopeful, Cen's paintings of ordinary figures surge with vitality and light

"I aspire for my artistic expression to soothe like a serenely clear stream amid the cacophony of existence," says Chinese painter Cen Long (born 1957) of his work. His tenebrist compositions of everyday people are tranquil and graceful, illuminated from within by a reverent glow.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Cen Long: born in 1957 in Guangzhou, China, he once served as a professor in the Oil Painting Department at Hubei Academy of Fine Arts. Disinclined towards institutional constraints, he resigned in 2005 and retreated to seclusion in Wuhan, dedicating himself to artistic endeavours. His father, Cen Jia Wu, stood as a luminary in anthropology, ethnology, and art history in Chinese academia. Persecuted during the Cultural Revolution, he tragically ended his life, leaving an everlasting trauma in Cen’s heart. Deeply influenced by the profound legacy of his father, Cen maintains a modest lifestyle, avoids socialising with the local art scene, and immerses himself wholly in the pursuit of artistic truth.
