Catalogue Note

"Inexplicably, the albums came into my work one sunny afternoon.  To my astonishment, I found hidden under their decency and sobriety an enticing sentiment that invited rich imaginations.  I began painting them as still life."
CHEN DANQING, "THE AFTERLIFE OF PAINTING," ART BOOK AS STILL LIFE, P. 41
