			Introduction
		Chen Wencun is currently based in Hangzhou, where he lives and works. He holds a Bachelor’s degree from the Printmaking Department of the Central Academy of Fine Arts (CAFA) and pursued postgraduate studies at Chelsea College of Arts, University of the Arts London, as well as the Royal College of Art in the United Kingdom. He is currently a faculty member in the Department of Integrated Painting at the School of Painting Arts, China Academy of Art. 
Chen’s artistic practice is a process of introspective exploration, emphasizing shared human experiences over individual differences. His diverse body of work reflects a profound awareness of living within a particular era, examining how the times shape individuals and engaging in reflection placed within a broader, long-term temporal framework. His work addresses themes such as language, text, and collective memory, spanning multiple mediums, including painting, printmaking, installation, and video art.
