Artist Information:
Chen wants his paintings to document the world we live in today, attempting to show a hand-made rendition of our lives for the future. When Chen paints, he uses a “hyperrealist” style, documenting every person, window, stoplight, and advertisement he sees in front of him. In preparation for his work, Chen will take hundreds of photos. He recalls that, in his studio, he has more than ten hard drives to back up his photography. Inspired by the artists of the Song Dynasty and the way they could capture 1,000 people in each painting, Chen can take up to three months to unearth so much detail in each of his works. In fact, his paintings are so detailed that he’s only completed around 600 original acrylic or oil paintings in his time as an artist – a minuscule number in comparison to many of his contemporaries.

Alexander has traveled to over 50 countries researching material for his paintings, including Europe, the Mideast, and Southeast Asia in search of new locations to add to his inspired collection of artwork. He has captured scenes from daily life in England, France, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Egypt, Germany, China, and Thailand. In his paintings, Alexander portrays an exotic yet playful side of life in every location he visits.

When asked if he has a favorite location to paint, Chen describes a mixture of love for his hometown in China and his new home in San Francisco.
