Chu The-Chun accentuates a mezmorizing abstract landscape basked in the the warm sunset-like glows in Composition (Lot 2145). In a bold, dramatic composiiton with a diagonal line projecting from upper left to lower right in the middle ground, Chu's dynamic, sinuous lines render a intriguing aura implying the winding mountain paths in Chinese landscapes, akin to the techniques and aesthetics as seen in Five-Dynasties painter Ju's landscape (Fig. 1). Layers of paints in warm colour temprature ressemble the clouds encircling among the peaks, and also create a fire-like visusal effect from the suggestive light source casting from the lower right edge. Untitled (Lot 2146) and Abstraction (Lot 2147) are two mixed media on paper, encompassing Chu's ingenious aptitude of perfectly fusing the East and West, the calligraphic lines and colours. The vigorous dots of green, blue, orange and red in Abstraction allude to the perfect composite of Chu's rich language of colour and his rhythmic structured strokes that brings to life the magical charm, reminiscent of Kandinsky's painting. Overwhelmed by musicality, organized irregularity and multilayered structures, they showcase a profusion of energy and liveliness. In Untitled, colour is applied delicately and contributes to the layering, effectively capturing splashes of sunlight as they appear and disappear and the changing colours they create on tree trunks and branches. Despite its small dimensions, the painting nevertheless reveals much within its densely packed layers: a golden autumn in dense forest on marshy ground, branches in brown and black with occasional reddish leaves. Vivid and appealing, the painting also reflects the frank and ingenuous personality of the artist and his search for the rhythm and movement of the scene.
