We are very glad to announce that taguchi fine art is going to have one person show by Chen Ruo Bing during above period.

Born in China in 1970, Chen Ruo Bing now resides and works in Duesseldorf, Germany and Beijing, China. After studying Chinese traditional ink painting and calligraphy at National Academy of Fine Arts, Hangzhou in China, he moved to Germany in 1992. Since his graduation form the Gotthard Graubner class at the Art Academy in Duesseldorf in 1998, Chen has exhibited his works internationally, both in Europe and Asia. In 2000 he invited to the United States under the artist-in-residence program at Josef and Anni Albers Foundation in Connecticut. In 2006 had one person show at Shanghai Art Museum and "Chen Ruo Bing Museum" also named "House of Light", which displays only his works and Chinese antiques, opened in Jiaxing, Zhejiang Province in China. In the same year he joined in the three-person show titled "An Existence" at Shiseido Gallery in Tokyo, Japan. He participated in many one person shows and group shows in museums in Germany, China and South Korea. He periodically has exhibitions at galleries in Germany, Netherlands, China, South Korea and Japan. Also in many art fairs in Germany, Netherlands, China, South Korea, Japan, United States, England and Australia. His works are in the collection of museums in Germany, China and South Korea.

Ever since Chen was studying at the Art Academy in Duesseldorf, he paints simple geometric forms repeatedly on canvas, and gives equal value to the image and the background. This is his experiment to unite in his painting, the tradition of Chinese paintings which is already a part of his nature, with the European modernism where he lives in. With his shallow, decorative painting space, with the delicate blot of acrylic which reminds us ink painting in China, simple geometric forms and bright color which evoke the sense of joy, and with the metaphysical light overflowing from the inside of the painting, Chen produces very unique and attractive paintings. Chen has already spent the half of his life in Germany and it seems that he has obtained his own original painting style, jumping over the framework of confrontation of the East and the West however his fundamental stance is the same and consistent, which is a Chinese painter who is working in the middle of European modern culture.

After his moving to a larger studio around 2008, Chen changed his way of working. He chooses a certain direction from his early works and concentrates for a certain period in developing them to a new horizon, in the large format in many cases. First experiment was the painting called "Body of Light", which was the development from his earlier paintings with a monolithic form in those center. Next was the paintings with a form of circle representing "Image of Time". Currently he is working on paintings with a disk form, "The Trace of Origin" with which he investigates the relationship between the disk form and the background.

This is his ninth one-person at taguchi fine art. Please come to take a look.
