Las Vegas Centennial Series

“Las Vegas Centennial Series” – 100 Painting Tribute by Master Artist, Dr. T.F. Chen

Dr. T.F. Chen – one of the last living Master Artists in the world today and Cultural Ambassador with the Friends of the United Nations and the Arts For Humanity World Tour – is captivated with his new theme – the city of Las Vegas. After his first recent visit, Dr. Chen couldn’t get enough of Las Vegas. He cleared his busy schedule and set up a studio in LV to paint. Dr. Chen initiated his signature style of “Neo-Iconography” in 1969, which appropriates “icons” from throughout human and art history -- placing them together in contexts that defy time, space, and cultural barriers; resulting in a stunning, eclectic composition. How fitting for the City of Icons! Dr. Chen is also known as the “Centennial Artist,” and has painted several 100-painting tributes to many of his inspirations on the occasion of their Centennials – such as “The Spirit of Liberty Series,” “Post – Van Gogh Series,” and “Jade Mountain Series.” These powerful, large-scale series have shown in museums around the world and been featured extensively in the media. As a new part-time resident of Las Vegas, Dr. Chen once again picks up his brush and embraces the challenge of creating 100 paintings in homage to Las Vegas’ Centennial Celebration. In the 3 short weeks that Dr. Chen set up his studio, he has already painted twenty paintings for the “Las Vegas Centennial Series.” In between lectures, worldwide exhibitions, and preparing for the Arts For Humanity World Tour, Dr. Chen aims to finish the 100 Paintings of Las Vegas within a year.

Arts For Humanity Invitation

“Arts For Humanity” A World Tour 2005 – 2010

Embracing Cultural Harmony We invite your participation & support. The Arts For Humanity World Tour will organize and provide powerful exhibits, cultural events, and educational programs; focusing on issues of peace, tolerance, and cultural diversity. Museums, galleries, universities, and organizations who are interested in advancing the importance of Art Education and positive values of Art as a vehicle for global peace expression, or who would like to enhance their existing programs are welcome to participate. We invite you to become a member, arrange or sponsor an exhibition/event in your area, or intern/work with us professionally. Please watch for our upcoming Commercial to be aired this year. The initiator of this project, Dr. T.F. Chen, is a master artist, painter, art historian, writer, philosopher, visionary, and founder of his own Cultural Center and Foundation in SoHo, NYC. In 2001, Dr. Chen was honored with the Global Tolerance Award from the Friends of the United Nations and designated a Cultural Ambassador for Tolerance and Peace, for his lifetime of work dedicated to peace and for his art of multiculturalism—a body of work that inspires worldwide cultural harmony and progress. Dr. Chen’s artistic life spans more than half a century. A Taiwanese-American, Dr. Chen was the first Asian to earn a Ph. D in art history from Univ. of Paris (La Sorbonne) while simultaneously studying at the Nat’l Superior School of Fine Arts, where he established "Fifth-Dimensional World Culture" in theory (1969) and initiated "Neo-Iconography" (Neo-I) in painting. Renowned for his artistic style, philosophical vision, and honorable character, Dr. T. F. Chen is a true Renaissance Man who embodies the merging of Western and Eastern Cultures. Neo-Iconography is a daring new form of communication. It unites East and West, past and present, by organizing and combining familiar "icons" in unfamiliar ways. Like a passionate art collector, Dr. Chen assembles images he treasures and places them together in contexts that defy time, space, and cultural barriers; to create a new painting with a new meaning. Dr. T.F. Chen has produced more than 1,000 paintings in his signature Neo-I style and has published over 20 books in English, Chinese and French concerning his art and his theories of an upcoming Global New Renaissance. Recognized as "one of the twenty most influential artists in the world today” (Dr. Thomas McEvilley, art critic), Chen has conducted more than 100 one-man exhibitions worldwide. Chen's works are featured in over 150 books, (including the art history textbook, Art and Ideas), countless articles, newspapers, etc.; and are collected widely. His series include "The Spirit of Liberty," "Humanity," "Post - Van Gogh," "East - West," "Space Age," “War and Peace,” "Princess Diana," "9/11," etc. There are many ways to get involved and make a cultural contribution.
