S p e n c e r C h e n P a i n t e r in O i l s
Since 2012, my approach to painting changed from a classical to a more expressionistic technique.
My intent is to make each stroke create a shape and a feeling of movement by the speed and the direction of the stroke. Each stroke is like a mark in time and space, so it's important to not over stroke and cover up the streaking, solid and fading lines.

Paint in the
" Moment "
