Chen Yu / 昱辰
"The unconscious is the real psychic."
"Nothing is ever accidental."
— Sigmund Freud
The “unconscious theory” introduced by German psychologist Sigmund Freud had revolutionised traditional visual art. Chen Yu managed to express his unique “unconscious theory” in his own way, subconsciously. Driven by his subconscious sense of art aesthetic, rigorous technique, and profound colour choice, he can express his unconscious thinking and unique judgement on his artworks. Without excessive intentional modification and technical decoration, the pure “unconscious” thinking is particularly vivid in his artworks.
Dachu Studio: The chiar is leaning.
Answer: "The cat is leaning too, haha. The cat is hugging the chair, they are leaning together. It's okay, he runs quite fast, incredibly flexible."
"The teacher let me chose an emotion, but I don't what emotion is. Happy, or unhappy, I also don't know what kind of emotion I do have."
"Maybe happy in the morning, maybe happy in the evening; maybe unhappy in the morning, maybe unhappy in the evening."
"But, water is clean, it's always clean."
"The sun is too big, reddened everywhere. Anything is red, they are all red."
"It became black when it is too red. So, except red, there is black. I like it."
"I like to choose colours for them, add some blue if the red is too much, other wise it will be burned."
"It's raining again, can't play outside."
Dachu Studio: Are you sad about it?
Answer: "Not really, I just don't know what to do, no plan."
"That's why I wanted to draw the rain. You know right? Rain doesn't have any colour. But it was red on that day."
Dachu Studio: Why there's also black?
Answer: "That's their shadows. You told me, everything has shadow."
Dachu Studio: She loos special.
Answer: "Haha, she forgot a very important thing on that day, she thought her number is up. Then I asked mum what's wrong with her, mom told me she is 'dumbfounded'."
"Dumbfounded sounds funny, I gonna paint her dumbfounded."
Dachu Studio: What's art in your view?
Answer: "It's focus, serious, and relax. I think painting is a process. Holding a brush to draw the lines, filling the colours. Every stroke is art. "
Dachu Studio: The birds looks fat.
Answer: "They are family. The far left one in the father, then the mother, then me, then my younger brother. They have a story to tell. The grandpa flied away after told it, then father starts to tell, I'll also tell afterwards. Besides them, the leaves will also tell, leaves in the spring, leaves in the summer, leaves in the autumn, leaves in the winter."
"This is my graduation design, I am teaching my parents how to paint."
"They are stupid, they don't know how to paint."
Dachu Studio: So, what did you do?
"They let me demonstrate, paint with them together. But I didn't. I was keep talking, constantly talking. I think communication is more important."
"They are not as smart as me, there's nothing is their brain, except grids."
"No other way, I can only keep painting the grids."
