Un Sentier (A Path)

For the ancient literati painters of China, the act of painting or writing poetry meant so much more than blindly copying or reproducing scenery. They found a deep inner affinity in scenes that moved them, and through such scenes they strove to move others. Chu Teh- Chun understood the appeal of that approach, and he spoke with great feeling about how both poetry and painting follow 'the same principles and the same rhythms.' Un Sentier (A Path) incisively reveals this artist's depth of feeling, his graceful, contemplative spirit, and the effortless, quiet elegance that informs his work.
Chu Teh-Chun sought out the lingering traces of moonlight. Stepping into the moonlight, melting into it, he found in his life a clarity, insight, and simplicity like light itself. Chu Teh-Chun stood with Su Shi, with Beethoven, and with Van Gogh, seeing the same 'bright moon on the river,' linking with their spirits across the expanses of time. The magic of eternal moonlight transports us, too, as we stand in front of Chu Teh-Chun's Un Sentier (A Path) and share this faraway place together with those who came before.
