SUMMARY:QWBAP Artist Talk - Meet our judge\, Jun Chen
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1523319263370{padding-top: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text] \nDon’t miss this opportunity to meet and learn more about Queen’s Wharf Brisbane Art Prize judge Jun Chen\, when he joins us in the gallery to discuss his life and work. \nChen’s impasto oil paintings are textural observations of the landscape\, nudes and still lifes with the paint thickly applied using a palette knife. He states “I don’t mix the oils. I paint wet to wet\, and use control to cover the depth of things. I want to imbue the freshness with feeling. I like colour very strong\, and do my painting in my own way. I love the black and grey. People like the feeling inside\, same as for artists\, to see the feelings. This is very important.” \nChen has been a regular finalist in the Archibald\, Wynne and Sulman Prizes at the Art Gallery of New South Wales\, and in 2013 won the Tattersall’s Club Landscape Art Prize in Brisbane. In 2018\, the National Portrait Gallery in Canberra commissioned Chen to paint a portrait of the Chinese-Australian former ballet dancer and current artistic director of the Queensland Ballet\, Li Cunxin. Chen is represented in major Australian public collections including the Art Gallery of New South Wales\, Sydney; Parliament House Art Collection\, Canberra; National Portrait Gallery\, Canberra. Chen also has his work held in public collections in China and Sweden\, and in private collections throughout Australia and Asia. \n  \nThis talk will be held at Petrie Terrace Gallery on Sunday\, 21st of September from 2pm to 4pm. \nTicket Prices:\n– $5 for RQAS Brisbane Members\n– $15 for the Public \nWe welcome both non-members and members to attend!
