陳明朝

尺寸:15F (51.3×64.3，framed:86.8×99.5)

陳明朝（1950-），宜蘭人，臺灣油畫家。畢業於國立藝專，師承於王攀元，受其色彩運用與畫意構思的啟發。陳明朝曾參加臺灣春季沙龍展、國父紀念館當代藝術家博覽會，並於李石樵美術館舉辦個展。鍾情於風景題材，其作品常是心境的表達，曾自言：「吾筆揮吾情。具象、半具象、意象，總在啟承轉合間。」作品的磅礡氣勢，反映出畫家瀟灑自若之豪情。
水景是陳明朝常畫的題材，他曾回憶家鄉太平山的巨木、雲海、綠樹、藍湖等深刻影響其繪畫表現之主題。瀑布、激湍、浪花等等，通常為畫面主要的動勢所在。畫家以油畫顏料厚塗、多變的筆觸表現情感。厚塗技法在印象派時期開始普遍，以畫筆或畫刀堆疊顏料，製造出富有變化的肌理，有別於古典油畫的平滑細緻。其作品另一特色是畫題，他多以極富詩意的七言句為畫作註，嘗試融合東西意境，以油畫表現水墨及水彩的自由特質。
陳明朝作品常以大塊色域或流動的大筆觸為基調，鋪墊作品的色彩結構。在此基調上，採用破碎後塗的筆觸描繪前景的樹木或浪花，一方面以顏料屬性凸顯層次感，另一方面賦予自然場景以獨特的寫意意象。此作色調活潑，在底層以紅褐色作為鋪墊，並以厚塗肌理區別亮黃綠色與下方深褐色的不同調性，表現出秋天山頭半紅半翠的景致。（500字）

Chen Ming-Chao (1950- ), born in Yilan County, is a Taiwanese oil painter. He graduated from the National Institute of Fine Arts and studied under Wang Pan-Yuan, who inspired him to use color and conceptualization. Chen has participated in Taiwan's Spring Art Salon, the Contemporary Artists Exhibition at the National Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hall, and held a solo exhibition at the Li Shih-Chiao Museum of Arts. He is fond of landscape subjects, and his works are often an expression of his state of mind. Chen claimed, "My brush resembles my emotion: semi-figurative, imagery, and never constant." The majestic momentum of his works reflects the artist's unhurried and unrestrained passion.
Waterscape is a frequent subject in Chen Ming Chao's paintings. He once recalled that the giant trees, seas of clouds, green trees, and blue lakes in his hometown, Taiping Mountain, profoundly influenced the themes of his paintings. Waterfalls, turbulence, and waves are usually the central dynamic in his paintings. Chen used Impasto and varied strokes to express his emotions. Impasto is a painting technique prevalent during the Impressionist period: the paint is thickly laid on a surface through brush or knife to create thick layers of texture that differs from the smooth and delicate surface. Another characteristic of Chen's works is his paintings' titles, which are often annotated with Chinese poetic seven-word phrases, attempting to blend the oriental and occidental styles and expressing the sense of freedom in ink and watercolor with oil painting.
Chen Ming Chao's works often use large color blocks or flowing brushstrokes as the base tone to pave the color structure. On top of this base tone, he uses the scattered impasto technique to depict the trees or waves in the foreground. On the one hand, it highlights the sense of hierarchy with color and pigment; on the one hand, the painting achieves a poetic depiction of the natural world. The work's color palette is diverse and lively. Chen uses a reddish-brown base layer, then uses bright yellow-green with an impasto technique to differentiate the textures, creating a half-red and half-green scenery of the mountain's autumn.
