What is the constellation of Chen Danqing?

Chen Danqing is a Leo, but emotionally agile, without the publicity of Leo. Born in Liangcun, sanhe town, Guangdong Province, a native of Shanghai, graduated from the Central Academy of Fine Arts. He is an artist, writer and literary critic. Chen Danqing's painting style is elegant, simple, wise, frank and full of unique personality charm.

Chen Danqing's evaluation

I used to see "Tibetan Group Paintings", which was a bit incredible. After reading his sketches in the 1970s, I found them completely logical and natural. I even think his sketches are more emotional, charming, vivid and attractive. Most of Chen Danqing's portraits, compositions and creations in the1970s, though from the Cultural Revolution or quasi-Cultural Revolution era, had little or no red, bright and serious cultural revolution artistic gesture.

This surprised me, because this phenomenon was rare at that time. I don't know why he did it. But the first two, namely talent and sincere passion, should also be part of the original work. In other words, his paintings at that time were not mainly produced to cater to the instructions of the leaders. It is an artistic impulse from the heart, so it comes naturally without adding more instrumentalism, stylization and conceptualization.
