Chen Tao-Ming has been eager to explore the variations of materials, formations, and colors. He made use of the fluidity of water-based paints such as acrylics and watercolors to replace dense oil paints, and to generate atlas-like tableaus vibrating with musical rhythms. Through his brush strokes, the concrete matters and abstract momentum come to clash on the canvas to allow the mind to freely wander in time, reflecting his inner vibrancy of life and the capture of time.
