Chu Teh-Chun
Works on paper
Vernissage on Thursday 15 May at 17:00.
Opening hours: Monday to Friday, 08:00 to 18:00.
The Centre des arts is honoured to present a rare selection of works on paper by Chu Teh-Chun. While less widely known than his oil paintings, these pieces form an essential part of his artistic journey. Through calligraphy and ink on paper, this medium allowed him to maintain a deep connection to his Chinese heritage, expressing a sense of freedom and spontaneity in his gesture.
With a strong educational focus, this exhibition offers a unique opportunity to discover a more intimate side of the artist, revealing the evocative power of his compositions. It highlights his exploration of emptiness, movement, and the delicate interplay between ink and material—key elements of his visual language.
The Chu Teh-Chun Foundation
Founded in Geneva in 2017 by the artist’s family, the Chu Teh-Chun Foundation is dedicated to preserving and promoting his artistic legacy. Through exhibitions, lectures, and educational initiatives, it strives to bring his work to a wider audience.
The Foundation holds an extensive archive, documenting his life and work since his arrival in Paris in 1955. In addition to this vital conservation effort, it continues to compile a comprehensive catalogue raisonné. Beyond safeguarding his memory, the Foundation is committed to exploring new ways of sharing his art and engaging with diverse audiences.
