Exposition：

In the early 1950s, the artist has extracted from the rich and sophisticated visual elements from the brushstrokes and forms of Chinese calligraphy- oracle, seal, scribe, standard, and cursive as the basis of his creation. Then he brought out rich layers and texture changes. He was deeply inspired by Chinese ancient artifacts- the rusty feel on green copper and tombs which records the tracks of the fall and rise of history. Chen Yin Bai utilized the characteristics of different materials to create a three dimensional realist texture, and through the powers of Chinese calligraphy and characters, he created a unique Chinese abstract art style. With a little taste of sadness from the passing of time, the artist successfully expressed his longing for the pass of civilization.
