Sin Sin Fine Art is delighted to present the solo exhibition of the Contemporary Chinese artist Julia Nee Chu, held from 7 October to 4 November. The exhibition will show the artist’s most currently created artworks which witness a rejuvenation of life in her artistic creation.
 
Born in Shanghai, Julia now lives and works in California. She finished her BA and MFA at the University of California in 1978 and 1981 respectively. Julia’s style is influenced by Abstract Expressionism but, at the same time, reveals the fluid refinement characteristic of Asian calligraphy.

To Julia, her focus of painting has always been dealing with nature or rather the processes or movements of nature.  The spirit of the brushstroke, called touch, is spontaneity and finality while the process of touching the paintbrush to the surface of the paper is called time. Time spent cannot be returned. Artist drops paint on the surfaced of paper or canvas and leave marks to build up the density of time.
 
The brush (touch) movement is an important element of Julia’s painting. Movement is the force of transformation in nature. So her act of painting is not only about recreating feeling of nature, but nature itself.
 
“My act of painting is a dialogue between the conscious and the unconscious and the orientation of myself to the world,” Julia Nee Chu.
