[edit] Education & Development

In 1982, Chen earned a bachelor's degree from the Oil Painting Department of Sichuan Art Academy.

[edit] Art

Chen Weimin’s work is saturated in colours – bright blues, sponge pinks, luminous yellows – that appear to reconstitute the buildings and advertising iconography of Chongqing into a psychedelic vision of San Francisco circa 1969.  In representing the sprawling, teeming metropolis, Chen depicts a scenic actuality of eye-popping beauty and radio-active consumer absolutes, a city soaked in its own urges.^[1]
