This publication is produced on the occasion of the first exhibition at FEAST Projects. Hong Kong, titled 'Chu Teh-Chun: Process & Transformation', from October to November 2011, featuring a collection of important paintings and calligraphies by Chu Teh-Chun.

'On view will be a group of "exceptional and pivotal paintings" never before seen by the public, dating from the early 1970’s, as well as a “rare calligraphy series”. In exhibiting this group of works FEAST Projects shares with the public a rare insight into the development of the artist. The paintings on view are especially significant in Chu’s history as they mark the beginning of his maturity as an artist, as well as the invention of his aesthetic language. The strong, well-defined lines, often present in his earlier works, disappear into expansive fields of colors and expressive brush strokes. These paintings reveal the developmental process of Chu’s own techniques and devices. The viewer witnesses Chu’s deep connection to his Song dynasty forefathers: like them he is in awe of nature, but he goes beyond the traditional limits of pictorial expression, extending it from the infinitely large to the infinitesimally small. This instills in his paintings the heightened sense of drama, which thereafter becomes the hallmark of his oeuvre. This opportunity of discovering Chu’s works side by side is exceptional, and affords the viewer a direct experience of his actual creative process.' ---- from press release
