Artist Bio

Tan Chun was born in Canton, China and developed an interest in art early in his childhood. He began his studies art in China and continued at the Art Student's League in New York after immigrating to America in 1974. The longtime exploration of both the American and Chinese arts has broadened his horizon and influenced Tan's personal philosophy. Thus, his delicate work is the combination of the essential qualities of traditional realism and contemporary painting techniques.

Many subjects inspire this widely traveled artist. Whether painting a landscape, seascape, still life or floral there is a preeminent reverence for the peace and beauty of the world of nature that is reflected in all of his paintings. Tan is constantly challenging himself by incorporating his personal observations, which result in an individual style, all his own. He is accomplished in a wide range of media, and incessantly challenges his mastery of watercolor, oil and printmaking. His paintings hang in numerous personal and corporate collections throughout the world.
