Anthony Chua’s paintings’ strength lies in the bold use of brush strokes with various effects created by different types of brushes such as the less conventional feather brushes.
His creative processes are informed by both traditional Chinese ink and Modern Western strategies such as mark making. The objective is to enable new artistic surfaces to be created and expressiveness articulated.
In this painting, the employment of energetic brushwork and use of coloured pigments and ink manifest Chua’s dual dilemma to abide closely to the traditions of Chinese ink painting whilst searching for ways to break through its conventions.
