Every single line and stroke in Chen Xi’s and Law Yat Sun, Oscar’s drawings are done free-handed; to this day both artists remain true to this fundamental ideal. The series of drawings have a homogeneity in style, while each is in fact unique in itself. Both artists strive to combine the elements of Asian and European art traditions.

Chen Xi has been continuously working on his “perfect-in-form” ink-pen drawing for over a decade—seems as if the shape already existed in the core of the paper and Chen purely helps it to develop. The technique of plume drawing is based on the traditional Chinese art. The abstract forms are drawn with ink pen is made in the tradition of European art history, which radiates perfection and elegance.

About Chen’s paint-brush works, Chen mainly works with paper and mixed media, often entirely in black. Indian ink, acrylic, oil… basically anything that produces this special effect desired by intuition. The paintings are a spontaneous montage of extremely thin and painted paper on canvas, and the robust splashes reveal his energetic and resolute character.

Law Yat Sun, Oscar dedicated himself to focus on charcoal powder drawings since 2011, his commitment in mastering charcoal powder in his paintings is determined and full of passion. He devoted himself to integrate various method and techniques from Chinese and Western art theories, in addition to the use of optical theory, he also takes artistic and medical anatomy and Chinese Face Reading theory as reference to bring his large format portraits to perfection.

陳熹和羅一宸的畫中每條線和每個筆觸都是徒手完成的；時至今天，兩位藝術家仍然忠於這個根本。這一系列的作品在風格上具有同一個特性，但事實上每幅畫本身都是獨一無二的。兩位畫家均致力結合傳統中方和西方的藝術元素。

奧地利華人畫家陳熹，就讀上海美術學院與維也納美術學院的背景，使他的作品有着西方的輪廓，內在蘊藏中國人文思想。近看他的工筆畫，準確及耐性是第一印象，幾近完美的輪廓和線條，總讓人忍不住直視許久。

陳熹的另一種獨特潑墨畫風格，將抽象山水以多層次的拼貼組合，平行的山脈、縱走的山谷，現代風格的景色輪廓浮現於多達數十層的宣紙，躍於眼前。

香港畫家羅一宸從2011年開始專注於炭粉繪畫，為了掌握和累積扎實的手法所投放的熱誠和堅持是毋庸置疑的。他致力於整合中西藝術理論中的各種方法和技巧，除了使用光學理論外，他還以藝術和醫學解剖學以及中國面相理論為參考，使他的大尺寸肖像畫達至完美。

Chen XI grew up in Shanghai; in the 90s he moved to Vienna where he still lives and works today. He was educated at the Art Academy of Shanghai, a then and now very privileged institution whose classes accommodated only five students. The main focus of the training was on traditional art techniques such as ink painting and pen drawing, as well as realistic painting. A high degree of precision is required to perfectly master the technique and in order to corresponded to the ideal it demands. The conclusion of his studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna in 2005, allowed Chen a deeper engagement with the theory and tradition of abstract art; which later became a major source of inspiration for his extremely detailed abstract works.

陳熹在上海長大；90年代，他搬到維也納，至今仍在那裡生活和工作。他在上海美術學院接受教育，是當時和現在都非常優越的學院，當時其班級只容納五個學生。學院培訓的重點是傳統藝術技巧，如中國畫及寫實畫技巧。為了完美地掌握這些技巧，並達到它所要求的理想效果，需要有高度的精確性。2005年在維也納美術學院以優異成績畢業，讓他更深入地接觸到抽象藝術的理論和傳統，形成他日后以工筆畫描繪極為細致的抽象畫的主要靈感來源。

Law Yat-Sun, Oscar (b.1972) is a Hong Kong artist. Law showed his affection for arts and at the age of 5 he started his first drawing. Autodidact, Law not only dived into the development of his painting, he was engaged in and has been invited to numerous designs and cultural art related creation projects over the years.

Law is enthusiastic in promoting art among children and has served as the executive director and artistic director of various arts training and children's education programs. He was the director of the Hong Kong Children’s Arts Society, where he devoted himself to develop and engage in children's education research. In between 2017 and 2019, Law was invited to give lectures and demonstrate at teaching forums, universities and teacher training colleges across China.
