Career
While majoring in Fine Arts at National Taiwan Normal University, Chung-Chuan Cheng joined the Fifth Moon Art Group encouraged to set up by a painting professor Ji-Chun Liao in 1957. The artist had stopped working any paintings for more than 30 years until she was nearly 60. She not only started to hold solo exhibitions in Japan but also returned to Taiwan for joining annual exhibitions of the Fifth Moon Art Group.
Just before her eightieth, Doctor Sun Yat-Senator Memorial Hall staged her art retrospective exhibition in 2011.
At present, the artist enjoys leading a tranquil life and contentedly creating works. Chung-Chuan Cheng learned sketch or painting from several expert professors at National Normal Taiwan University, such as Ji-Chun Liao, Shih-Chiao Li, Teh-Chun Chu and Dou-Ci Sun.
The artist used to represent portraits or still lifes, and her art style tended to be realistic. After marrying a dentist, she had devoted her attention to the family for several decades.
She enjoyed reading medical, psychological, or philosophic books as her only hobby in the housewife life.
By the end of 1980s, she began to paint again in her sixtieth. Obviously, her art style turns to be much more abstract, and most of her subjects are imaginative landscapes. Moreover, some of her compositions look like veins or nerves proves that medical books exert a strong influence on her.
Regarding colors, the artist appreciates noble golden, mysterious black, passionate red.
Being a kind and simple artist, Chung-Chuan Cheng considers that she is a fortunate person and aims to express love and positive ideas to everyone through her sincere creations.
