陳陽春(1946-)，出生於雲林縣北港鎮，台灣水彩畫家。畢業於國立台灣藝術專科學校，曾任職清華廣告公司擔任美術設計。經常走訪歐、亞、美、非四大洲風景名勝、歷史古蹟，進行寫生，至今歷數十個城市，舉辦一百餘場個展。名揚海內外，受頒中國文藝學會文藝獎章、外交之友紀念章、文建會資深文化人、美國田納西榮譽市民、市鑰等。曾兼任職於母校台灣藝術大學、雲林科技大學、環球技術學院及齊齊哈爾、山東棗莊學院、常州逸仙進修學院等地。為推廣水彩藝術，設立「華陽獎」獎勵新進，至今受獎者已多達百餘人，成果豐碩。
陳陽春自幼喜歡繪畫，七歲時即接觸書法，十四歲時開始練習水彩，創作閱歷豐富。北港當地，建有祀奉媽祖而香火鼎盛的朝天宮，故深受台灣傳統宗教文化、廟會藝術影響，進而形塑出色彩繽紛、氣氛明快之畫風。國立藝專畢業後，短暫任職廣告公司，旋即專事於繪畫創作，至今逾半個世紀。
其水彩作品，不論是城鄉風景、仕女人物、花草瓜果或宗教意象等，皆能精確掌握外形，並在淋漓彩墨的烘托下，成功傳達入世與出世不同世界的意義與價值。一如本作描繪烏來小鎮所見，運用精湛的筆觸揮灑及渲染技法，在輕快淡雅的色彩鋪陳下，營造介於水彩與水墨之間的視覺效果，傳達城市歷史變遷滄桑之感。(507字)

Chen Yang-Chun (1946-), born in Beigang Township, Yunlin County, is a Taiwanese watercolor painter. He graduated from the National Taiwan Academy of Arts and worked as an art designer at Ching Hua Advertising Company. Chen has frequently traveled across Europe, Asia, the Americas, and Africa, capturing landscapes and historical sites in his sketches. To date, he has visited dozens of cities and held over a hundred solo exhibitions, gaining international acclaim. He has been awarded the Literary Medal by the Chinese Art and Literature Association, the Friendship Medal by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, recognition as a Senior Cultural Figure by the Council for Cultural Affairs, honorary citizenship of Tennessee, USA, and the key to the city. Chen has also taught at his alma mater, National Taiwan University of Arts, as well as at National Yunlin University of Science and Technology, TransWorld University, Qiqihar University, Zaozhuang University in Shandong, and Changzhou Yixian College. To promote watercolor art, Chen established the "Huayang Award" to encourage emerging artists, with over a hundred recipients to date. His contributions have yielded significant results.
Chen developed a passion for painting at an early age. He was exposed to calligraphy at seven and began practicing watercolor painting at fourteen, accumulating a wealth of experience in his artistic journey. Beigang, known for its bustling Chaotian Temple dedicated to Mazu, has deeply influenced Chen with Taiwan's traditional religious culture and temple art, shaping his vibrant and lively painting style. After graduating from the National Academy of Arts, he briefly worked in advertising before dedicating himself entirely to painting for over half a century.
Chen’s watercolor works, whether depicting urban and rural landscapes, elegant figures, flora, fauna, or religious imagery, skillfully capture form and convey the meanings and values of both secular and transcendent worlds. For instance, his depiction of the town of Wulai showcases his mastery of brushwork and shading techniques. The light, delicate colors create a visual effect that lies between watercolor and ink wash, evoking a sense of the historical changes and the passage of time in the city.
