Artemin Gallery is pleased to present Still Telling, a solo exhibition by Chen YuChun, on view from August 2 to September 6, 2025. The exhibition invites viewers into the quiet yet deeply resonant world of an artist who prefers to remain hidden—one who reveals, with great subtlety, how she inhabits her memories of space and finds stillness in a noisy world.

Still Telling invites visitors to experience Chen YuChun as a flâneur in the Baudelairean sense, one whose perspective exists askew from the mainstream. Can you discern, in the paintings, her visits to several places in Taiwan such as Jiufen, Manzhou, Changhua, Jinshan, Hongshulin, Liuying, or a therapist’s office? This is not a simple drifting through city streets. If time, memory, language, and the hippocampus form a structure—or rather, an ever-shifting path—then the painter becomes a wanderer within it, observing. At a distance that hovers between cool detachment and quiet empathy, she watches for human traces: the gesture a hand leaves on the back of a chair, sunlight lingering on a rooftop, the echo of seaside wind on the body. She does not rush to explain. She restrains emotion, allowing viewing to become a slow, slow, slow, slow process of permeation.
