About this artwork
Before Seeing
Within a black-and-white visual field, barely perceptible traces gradually emerge. The image does not unfold through clear contours or a clearly defined subject; rather, it reveals itself through variations of light and shadow, shifts in density, and localized order, allowing form to appear in an unstable state.
These traces do not yet constitute a complete image; they remain prior to stable identification. Seeing is not an immediate… act, but something constructed over time.

Chien-Li Chen, a painter and visual artist trained at the École Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Toulouse, works across painting and visual symbolism to explore time, memory, and perception. He builds his mesmerizing compositions from layered geometric forms, symbolic codes, and typographic motifs; transparent strata, vibrant colors, and the grammar of breathing infuse his kaleidoscopic, multi-temporal structures. His technique evokes feelings of vertigo and poetic suspension, immersing viewers in a living, ever-becoming field where memory is repaired and time is felt as both rhythm and presence.
