Chu is the artist who elaborates the "deriving concrete from abstract" concept from Chinese aesthetic; he is also the most free and easy one. When he paints, he put the connection between great sights in China, and the poetry that hinted these sights together, the view and the state of mind, the seeing the feeling together. He chose an attitude which he accumulated from his life experiences to layout the space and harmony on the canvas, mixed with his own unique sensitivity and the reality, and further merged the color and the space as if that's how they destined to be.

It is with certain difficulties to find general transparent dimensions in all of his works, he poured the colors from the points, lines, planes and even from the back of the canvas, this approach made the dimension even more determined, without losing the softness, they found their specific spot on the canvas through his decision, and surprisingly, they remain free on the canvas, they are like free notes in a ad-lib.

This "Composition in Red" was dated back to 1979, rationally speaking, it's an abstract piece, but if we look at the corners in the picture, we might sense there's something happening, the lavalike red color, orange red, or the clouted and heavy black and grey, they all look naturally profound. In other words, this reflects how the artist's mind shines, the way he layout the color and the blocks are so ingenious, made every inch on this canvas can be yet another completed picture. The lights and shades pull the viewers into the deep of it, as if it suddenly draws out our state of mind.
