A pivotal fgure in the burgeoning art scene of the 1950s and 1960s in Singapore, Chen Wenxi was part of the group of pioneer artists who set out to discover and depict a uniquely
‘Southeast Asian’ form of artistic expression. Chen studied
at the Xin Hua Academy of Fine Art in Shanghai in 1930, alongside with Liu Kang and Chen Chong Swee with whom he continued to produce art following their migration to Singapore. The trademarks of Chen’s style fall into two broad categories
- Chinese ink painting focused on the fora and fauna of the region, and abstract works executed on paper and canvas.
