Homage to Sunflower 3

At the age of fourteen, while growing up in rural Taiwan, Chen came across a small library of about 50 books on western art. Upon seeing the work of Vincent van Gogh for the first time, Chen wept and knew then that he was destined to be an artist. In homage to his favorite artist, Chen painted 100 paintings for Vincent van Gogh to celebrate the 100 year anniversary of his death (1990).”Homage to Sunflowers II” is a beautiful example of Chen’s love of color and playful adaptation to his favorite artist.
