Watercolor: Synthesizing East and West

I believe artists should not be content with the specific subject matter in which they excel, or with the specific process they have mastered, merely to repeat themselves within an established style. I feel artists should be sensitive to changes around them and, like scientists, be constantly exploring, experimenting, discovering, and developing new concepts, ideas, and ways of expression.

Picasso found inspirations in African Art. Matisse underwent the influence of the Orient. In light of the shrinking time and space, there will be more interpenetration and integration of art forms of various cultures. As watercolorists, we should be aware of the rich East Asian watermedia traditions.

I am fortunate to have grown up both in the East and the West, and both experiences and influences have shaped my artistic career.

I paint in both Western and Eastern approaches, but more importantly, I have been constantly searching for ways to synthesize the Chee Website 4.
