Alexander Chen is known for Landscape, city scene and landmark painting. Alexander Chen, described as "an ordinary man with an extraordinary vision and talent", was born in Guangzhou, Canton, China in 1952. As an artist, he has painted city scenes, landscapes and famous landmarks from around the world. Subjects include Times Square and Central Park in New York City, Montmartre in Paris, Glacier Bay in Alaska, the Acropolis in Greece, Buckingham Palace in England, Big Sur in California, the Market in Bruges and The Hermitage in St. Petersburg. Chen began drawing as a child and developed his craft as he moved through the many changes that came into his life. At age 16, he moved to the countryside where for the next four years he worked as a farmer, all the while continuing to record in his art the world as it evolved before him. Then for six years he worked for an on the road theater, painting stage backgrounds. At age 26 he found himself once again in Canton, but this time as a student at the art schools and colleges where he continued his studies in art. While in art school, he met a fellow student, Su, who would later become his wife and with whom he has a son named Brandon. Much had changed for this city-born artist who for so many years lived as a country bumpkin. In 1989 Alexander Chen and his wife immigrated to America where they live in Northern California. From there he has created artwork called "Alexander's World', a series about modern life in his adopted country. It is a translation of his love for the United States into paintings that reflect deep feelings for our bustling cities and our beautiful countryside and national parks. Chen's paintings are intended to capture perspectives others miss or cannot see. He spends as much as two months to complete many of his major works, all of which become, part of his gifts to his adopted land, things of beauty to be shared by all in appreciation of being given the opportunity to live a life he could only have dreamed of as a child.
