Henri Chen Ke Zhan

Born in Singapore in 1959, Henri Chen Ke Zhan is a renowned abstract expressionist artist who blends the elegance of traditional Chinese ink painting with the bold gestures of Western contemporary art. A dedicated student of prominent Lingnan masters Fan Chang Tien and Chao Shao An, Chen developed a unique style that harmonizes expressive brushwork with lyrical abstraction. Deeply influenced by music, his creative process often mirrors rhythmic flow, allowing his paintings to carry a sense of movement and emotional resonance.
Chen’s works are known for their sweeping compositions and subtle interplay between ink and color on rice paper. His early travels to Paris expanded his exposure to Western artistic movements, enriching his visual language and resulting in pieces that balance spontaneity with contemplation. His art captures both the physical beauty of nature and the meditative stillness of the mind.
In addition to his artistic practice, Henri Chen is the founder of Temenggong Artists in Residence, Singapore’s first dedicated retreat for artists. Established in 2009, Temenggong serves as a creative haven nestled in a quiet area near Mount Faber. It offers a nurturing space for local and international artists to engage in cultural exchange, create new works, and share their artistic journeys with the wider community.

陈克湛 (Henri Chen Ke Zhan),1959年出生于新加坡,是一位享有盛誉的抽象表现主义艺术家。他将中国传统水墨画的韵味与西方当代艺术的大胆笔触巧妙融合,创造出独具一格的艺术语言。早年师从岭南画派大师范昌乾和赵少昂,陈克湛的艺术风格注重笔墨表现和意境表达,同时也深受音乐节奏的启发,他的作品充满律动与情感。
他的作品常见气势磅礴的构图与水墨与色彩的微妙交融,展现自然之美与内心情感的平衡。他早年走巴黎深造,接触西方艺术流派,进一步丰富了他的艺术视野与表现手法,使作品在自由奔放与沉静冥合之间取得独特的张力。
除了个人艺术创作外,陈克湛还是新加坡Temenggong艺术家驻留计划的创办人。该计划于2009年成立,是新加坡首个专为艺术家打造的驻村与文化交流空间,位于花柏山脚下静谧人内的环境中,致力于推动本地与国际艺术家的文化交流与创作发展,并通过展览与公众活动,积极促进艺术与社区的连结。
