Specialist note

On a canvas that is precisely 5.2 square meters in size, Chen Yujun constructed a space that the artist considered to be filled with cultural substance. Within the 5.2 square meter space, it is a visually open and spacious three-dimensional room. The picture on the wall reminds the viewers that someone can occupy this interior. The colours and lines on the walls as well as the pattern on the floor indicate that faint but unforgettable memories about a certain family permeate the room. The artist uses a rational approach to paint a picture that connects reality with illusions.
