Tan Chin Boon 陈振文

Tan Chin Boon was born in 1953 in Fujian Province, Nan’an. Tan Chin Boon graduated from Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts in 1972, where he learnt under the pioneer artists Chen Chong Swee, See Hiang Toh and others. Since then, he began an art journey dedicated to Chinese ink painting and seal-carving.
Tan Chin Boon’s ink paintings demonstrate skilled mastery of the traditional Chinese ink medium, and a strong personal style which conveys a sense of inner peace and tranquility, alongside bold modern compositions. Playing with the concept of negative space, Tan demonstrates his strong command of the xieyi style of painting, exuding elegance in simplicity and leaving the audience space for imagination.

Tan Chin Boon has practiced seal carving for many years. His seal prints are very lively, exploring humour, sarcasm and wit. His recent creations: “Kopi-o Kosong”, “Kosong”, and “Tak Boleh Tahan” explore the Nanyang flavour while other works such as “Sunflowers”, “Thousands of Miles of Yunshan” and “Shameless” are Tan’s response to current events.

Tan’s ink paintings and seal carving works are well-loved and collected by local collectors.

陈振文,毕业于南洋美专(现在的南艺),专业是西洋油画,但之后基本上放弃油画创作,这就不能不提他在南洋美专时的老师施香沱的影响。在美专读书时,他“身在曹营心在汉”,每周一次去施老师家,学习篆刻和水墨画,埋下了改行的因子。陈振文早先作为篆刻家的名气大于画家。以前由于工作性质和环境关系,他刻印较多,作画较少。自从七八年前,全职从事艺术创作后,画画就多了起来。
