THE ART OF DR. JIA-RHON CHEN

Eleanor Heartney, a contributing editor to Art in America and author of Critical Condition: American Culture at Crossroads,wrote of Jia-Rhon Chen’s artworks: ” Dr. Chen blends bold color and cubistic forms which might be seen as part of his western inheritance with sure quick brush strokes that hark back to the tradition of Asian calligraphy. This mixing of reference is evident in other works which perform a similar operation on the landscape of Taiwan, transforming it into a kaleidoscopic vision of movement and change….

Synthesizing his multiple perspectives as physician and artist, as Taiwanese native and New York resident, and as heir to Western modernism and Asian tradition, Dr. Chen offers an art which seems suspended in a place beyond literal space and time. He simultaneously sends us ahead to the future and back to the primordial past,all the while reminding us that the life force is the condition which makes everything possible.”

In the “Lovers”, we sense two faces come together as one, in various moods. On the left, the man become part of a landscape, cliffs facing a big void. The head piece of the lady becomes a stage of the Taiwanese puppets show. What is going on in her shirt is totally up to the imaginations of the viewer.
