禁止吸烟及變奏 No Smoking#90050 40″ X 30″ Serigraph 1990 |
T. F. Chen was commissioned in the early 90’s to create an artwork raising awareness of cancer prevention. One of the designs that Chen came up with is this “No Smoking” silkscreen in Vincent van Gogh’s trademark. Chen newly interpreted the image to fit the screenprinting process and made some modifications to communicate his message.The originality and charm of this advertisement arises in the usage of a pictorial “icon” familiar to society. Van Gogh’s “Self-Portrait with Bandaged Ear and Pipe” has been etched into the public consciousness. In combining the well-known image with the positive message of “No Smoking,” the painting wittily and effectively catches the spectator’s eye. It is always a delight to perceive a message conveyed through art. The first number of this “No Smoking” serigraph edition was welcomed by the White House during President Ronald Reagan’s administration. The lower painting is a 8-“No Smoking”-variations-in-one on canvas with repeition to enforce the effect.

梵谷歸來 Van Gogh Coming Home
|
The sublime interior of Matisse’s “Dessert, Harmony in Red” has become Van Gogh’s home, and a pattern of Van Gogh’s “Sunflowers” adorns the wallpaper and tablecloth. Van Gogh’s wife, a graceful Arlesian woman, prepares dessert for the happy artist, returning home from a long day of painting under the sun. Thus, in Chen’s adaptation, Vincent van Gogh has finally attained the family intimacy and artistic recognition which he so earnestly craved throughout his lonely life.

天下一家 World Family in Peace#89053 127 X 150 cm Print 1989 |
Chen has been inspired several times to use Matisse’s La Danse in paintings and prints, beginning with Five Races in Harmony.Having only a black and white illustration of The Dance, Chen was free to make an extraordinary dramatic interpretation that would simultaneously express his admiration for Matisse and demonstrate his own overpowering faith in the coming together of men in a united human family. His five differently colored dancers symbolize the five races.The Red Buddha sits on a multicolored circular pedestal which plays harmonic melody with the circle of dancers and the circle of fire and light behind the Buddha’s head.

畫鳶尾花 Painting Irises30″ X 40″ Screen Print 1993 |
In the late 1980s, the van Gogh painting “Irises” was purchased at auction for the astronomical, record-breaking sum of $80 million. This was a historical event in the art market. Yet how could this come to pass? As Dr. Chen’s image reveals, the painting is unfinished! Van Gogh, dressed as an artist from Holland, is seated in a sunny Arles garden, still adding dazzling, pure strokes of color to the canvas. We do not see his face, hinting perhaps that the nature of the artist is less significant than the nature of the art. Indeed, the greatest artist of all is obscured from human vision, but with a divine hand, continues to add strokes of color to the canvas known as Earth.

舉婚於村莊之上 Wedding Above the Village77 X 101 cm Print 1991 |
The juxtaposition of complementary colors “the Chagall sky with the van Gogh landscape” excites the eye. When van Gogh painted Starry Night, he was lonely and unhappy, a victim of unrequited love who, more than anything,wished for a wife and family. Chagall’s exuberant Song of Songs images present a wish fulfillment: love, mutual bless, and evelasting joy. Although it was impossible on the physical plane to grant van Gogh a portion of happiness, through the merging of his work wih the transcendent sweetness of Chagall’s, Chen bestows a subconscious blessing. In a time out of time, and a place out of place, van Gogh can enjoy love and peace. Limited Edition Print unframed Price: USD$10,00020% OFF Price: USD$8,000 until March 31st. |
愛超越對立 Love Above Confrontation30″ X 40″ Screen Print 1993 |
A span of four centuries of changing values in artistic tradition electrifies the air between Titian’s “Venus with a Mirror” and Picasso’s “Seated Woman.” The contemporary viewer can see the beauty in both icons, but within their worlds, each woman argues for the authenticity of the stylistic expression of her image. Locked in a moment of confrontation, the two do not comprehend that another world exists that values and cherishes both for their differences, not in spite of them. Through an open window, Chagall’s folkloric pair of lovers float high above the fray. They seem to advocate “love above confrontation,” and are enjoying the freedom that only love can offer.

Happy Mme. Moitessier30″ X 40″ Screen Print 1993 |
Between Cezanne’s still life and Gauguin’s Tahitian painting, Ingres’ “Mme. Moitessier” stands confident and serene. Her source of happiness is twofold: her portrait hangs in a museum, enchanting thousands; and she owns, within this frame of reference, two postimpressionist masterpieces. In linear time, this would be impossible, since both works were produced almost half a century after her death. But the imagination does not recognize the boundaries of time and space. This intriguing arrangement playfully revises history and demonstrates the depth of possibility in the postmodernist art world.

3. Taiwan Boy’s Dream of the World (台灣少年世界夢)
![]() |
A book can change a person’s life. This book chronicles the journey of a Taiwanese boy from 1930 to 2010, pursuing his dream of the world through art. It records the life of an ordinary yet self-aware individual who, in 1963, won a French government scholarship and, with just a hundred dollars, embarked alone from Taiwan to Paris, then New York, and eventually the world. This arduous journey, blending the cultures of Europe, Asia, and America, led to innovative development and bore witness to the collective ideals and challenges faced by humanity during the era of globalization from post-World War II to today. “Life is short, art is eternal.” Using art to step onto the world stage, promoting “Art for Humanity” and a global new Renaissance, this book is written as a dream book for Taiwanese youth.
