Pink Bobble (2021) presents a more abstract image whereby pastel pink tennis balls are placed on and around a steel structure, against a green background. How people in China have a longing for a better life is also one of the main underlying themes in Chen’s work. As people’s lifestyles have become more diversified in China over the last few decades, finding something new to do during one’s leisure time has also become important in building a new lifestyle. Tennis is one of the options, as the artist observed. In the same manner as New Station, human figures are removed from the image. Only the objects -- and also the light, specifically in this work -- are employed to convey a certain feeling of expectation, and probably confusion and disappointment experienced from new changes as well. In this respect, tennis is not just a mode of sport, but also a new step towards a better life.
(DeepL)

Pink Bobble(2021年)は、緑を背景に、鉄骨の上やその周囲に置かれたピンクのテニスボールという、より抽象的なイメージを提示している。 より良い生活を求める中国人の願望も、チェンの作品のテーマのひとつだ。 過去数十年の間に中国人のライフスタイルが多様化するにつれ、余暇に何か新しいことを見つけることは、新しい生活様式を確立する上で重要な要素となっている。 画家が観察するように、テニスもそうした選択肢のひとつなのだ。

《粉色波波》(2021 年)呈现的是一幅更为抽象的画面,在绿色背景下,粉色网球被放置在钢结构上和钢结构周围。中国人对美好生活的向往也是陈的作品的主题之一。过去几十年来,随着中国人的生活方式越来越多样化,在闲暇时间寻找一些新的事情来做也成为建立新生活方式的重要因素。正如艺术家所观察到的,网球就是其中一种选择。
