Scenery painting is Chen Chu Dian’s forte. His paintings depict rural scenes steep in Chinese cultural flavour. His style is unique and invigorating. His ability to present his works in both Chinese and western style reflects his appreciation of both cultures. In 1993, Chen Chu Dian immigrated to Singapore and was granted permanent resident status. The novelty of new surroundings inspired him to paint many spectacular sceneries of Singapore. His oil and watercolour paintings are highly regarded and collected by Singaporeans and art lovers.
