Oil painting still life by Chen Xuan-Heng

The artist's signature on the painting uses his former name. This oil painting, created 20 years ago, still retains a warm and mellow palette. One can sense the atmosphere of that era's evenings in the oil painting classroom, as the artist, accompanied by classical music played by the teacher, poured his emotions into his brush, drifting freely across the canvas.
