"Painting
is very similar to Music. Sometimes, I compare
basic drawing to the notes and scales. Behind
a great painting, there is the mastery of drawing,
composition, harmony of colors, balance of space
and chiaroscuro. Behind a great work of music,
lies the mastery of the notes, time, rhythm,
melody and harmony."

"I
discovered that by going
around ... especially
markets ... you would see all the baskets there
which would represent a particular part of the
country. For instance in China, if you painted
a basket, you would know from what district that
basket came from. That's why people called me
'Basket Chen' ...
I think baskets are very beautiful."

"As
I promised you, here
are a few words on that marvellous medium
of drawing, the charcoal. It is very versatile
and responds to all the wishes of the
artist.
It can be soft and sensitive as baby's
skin or strong and solid as rock depending
of course on the hand that controls it.
The quality of a charcoal drawing does
not depends on its 'neatness' such as
you find in the copybook of a model schoolboy,
but is should be vibrant and above all
depict the character of the subject."
