Schoeni Art Gallery is proud to present the Chen Brothers exhibition, Supreme Ideals, in May 2010. The Chen family has been Schoeni long standing exclusive artists and this is the first time for the brothers, Chen Yu and Chen Li, to collaborate in a two manned exhibition that showcases their astonishingly unique talent. The exhibition will feature their latest evolvement as artists through their most recent body of work. Growing up in a small city in Guizhou province, they share the same family background, upbringing and education – both being graduates from the prestigious Central Academy of Fine Arts – yet in terms of age, they belong to different generations. In essence, their styles are completely different, but both offer a certain meditative quality in their art that is emotionally compelling, as it speaks individually and collectively about their history ,as well as the changes in the society they live in since China’s Reform and Opening-up policy.
