Biography of Chen Jun
Chen Jun (1935- ) was born into a family of professional artists in Deyang, Sichuan. His grandfather's and father's generation supported their families by painting professionally. His uncle, Chen Jiabin, was an accomplished artist who earned an entry in the 1986 Dictionary of Chinese Artists. His uncle taught all the cousins to create Chinese paintings in traditional styles when Chen Jun was nine years old. His dedication to classical Chinese painting traditions was already apparent in his childhood. Chen Jun has devoted himself to studying and painting traditional Chinese painting.
Chen Jun has been a professional artist for the past sixty years, retiring in 1991 as the only surviving artist of his generation in his family. His only child, a daughter, is not able to carry on the family tradition, so Chen Jun looks to others, in China and the West, with whom to share his passion for classical Chinese painting. His classical Chinese paintings are well appreciated in China, Australia and Taiwan and have received national recognition and many awards. Chen Jun offers Classical Chinese paintings and Chinese Landscape Paintings in the styles of famous ancient Chinese painting masters. Chen Jun's work is available in our Chinese Art Gallery under Classical Chinese Paintings and Chinese Landscape Paintings.
