ARTISTS / Wu Chun Yin, Aries

Acclaimed for his exquisite depiction of natural beauty, his paintings create a unique visual experience, inspiring the viewer to perceive nature, reality and explore new aesthetics. Lively brushstrokes, unique colours, fantasy and distorted flower images, and surreal proportions have all become the hallmarks of his painting style. The whimsical ideas stand out from the colourful images, bursting out amazing energy.

​

Following the success of the artist's solo exhibition in 2021, he will also have a successful 2022 at major Art Fairs. All works are sold and included in the collections of many famous collectors. His works have been exhibited all over the world and collected by many public institutions. Aries Wu has been widely recognized and loved.
