Biography
Born in Nanning city,[5] Shaoqiang Chen has shown great interest in painting since childhood.[6] Since his early age, he learned Chinese fine art from masters in China.[7] In particular, Hong Huang was the art teacher who had influenced Shaoqiang Chen's art study most.[5][6] Shaoqiang Chen learned Chinese painting, calligraphy and seal carving from Hong Huang since very early age, when Hong Huang founded the Yihong Fine Art School(一泓美术å¦æ ¡).[8] And later on, according to Yihong Fine Art School, he became a role model as an alumni with excellent achievements in art learning and creation.[9] It is also known that he has involved in culture and art exchange program between Austria and China in his young age.[10]
According to an interview by "Calligraphy Reported·Field of Calligraphy and Painting"(书法报·书画天地), Shaoqiang Chen was also significantly influenced by Wu Changshuo's art during his art study. He claimed that Wu Changshuo's calligraphy and painting, especially Wu's seal scripts, fascinated him a lot.[11] Shaoqiang Chen has also published examples of how he conducted creations inspired by Wu Changshuo's art on "Calligraphy Reported·Field of Calligraphy and Painting".[12]
Art experiences and influence

Shaoqiang Chen has had systematic calligraphy art development since age of 10.[2] After going to the United States for graduate study in Florida, he continued with Chinese art research and innovation.[13] It is known from several media that he conducted art innovation based on traditional Chinese painting and calligraphy skills, focusing on line and stroke manipulation. Simultaneously he brought in Western painting techniques such as visual contrast and special perspectives of painting, and integrated these Chinese and Western art elements.[4][13] Also, he developed a macro-to-micro observation approach by boldly mimicking digital camera dynamic zoom functionality to find various perspectives that maximize the detailed beauty of objects in the work. The objects were expressed by the variety and contrast of lines, brushing strokes and ink.[4][5][14] Several media, including "Calligraphy Reported·Field of Calligraphy and Painting", "People's Daily Online" and "Chinese Painting & Calligraphy"(ä¸å›½ä¹¦ç”»), considered that all of these produced the novel Chinese art style called "Heaven Style", which was an innovation that brought new vigor and vitality to Chinese art field, and shaped a new trend of art.[1][2][11][15] Some of these "Heaven Style" representative works include Florida Impression(佛州å°è±¡), Fun in the Lotus Pond Looking from Heaven(ä»Žå¤©å ‚çœ‹åˆ°çš„è·å¡˜ä¹è¶£), and Blossom of Hydrangea(绣çƒèŠ±å¼€).[1][2][13][16]
