In a painting that is clearly recognizable as such, Sen Chung has been inventing new constellations of signs that are characterized by great economy for many years. It is a painting of the line, the brushstroke, even the drops of paint, in which matter comes into visible contact with matter. The permanent alternation between Far Eastern and European influences naturally plays a decisive role throughout his life.

The artist himself once described his painting as a 'painted philosophy'. Seeing, perceiving, feeling, internalizing: this is the appropriate mode for dealing with Sen Chung's works, and those who take it to heart feel an exhilarating freedom beyond practical constraints, gloomy prognoses and a catastrophic course of the world.
