John H. Chen is a Taiwanese American contemporary artist recognized for blending traditional East Asian ink techniques with modern abstract elements. He was born in Taipei, Taiwan in 1939 and became a graduate of the prestigious National Taiwan Normal University of Fine Arts and then served as the Chief of the Fine Arts Department at a well-known conservatory for about ten years before taking his expertise around the world. He began in Costa Rica where he explored and painted for several years and exhibited his first one man show. In the 1980s his journey led him to the United States where he would raise his family and continue his artistic developments. He earned “Best in Show” award at the Plantation Art Show with his style of “OO-Siang Art” which literally means “formless art.” It is a combination and balance of Yin and Yan and harmony between human beings and nature. John Chen implements that philosophy in his pieces using Chinese ink-wash, acrylics, and oils on handmade rice paper.
