“A Global New Renaissance in Love”
(an excerpt) by Dr. T.F. Chen
“Man’s stepping onto the Moon was a momentous and historic event. At that moment, I felt that humankind was entering a new era. But what kind of era? Beyond the scientific and technological triumph, what would be the significance of such a success?
We have come into an era of ‘Love,’ the real soul of our planet. For the first time, we saw our planet floating like a moon above the horizon of the Moon, and we realized how small, beautiful, and at the same time, how fragile our earth is! But it is one, one wholeness, not divided. With this ‘Oneness’ before our eyes and engraved in our conscience, I realized that our cultural ecology was shifting, since 1969, from ‘divergency’ to ‘convergency.’ The different cultures, especially those of the East and the West were converging into a world culture to come.
Guided by the Italian Renaissance, I perceived the emergence of a new Renaissance on a global scale, yet it is a movement emerging against a dangerous counter-backlash, caused by ignorance, blindness, and/or the dark side of human nature.
Since culture is the output of human activities, mental and physical, the shifting of cultural ecology from ‘Divergency’ to ‘Convergency’ corresponds admirably to the shifting of our society from industrial to post-industrial society, a society of information and communication, and essentially of global concern: hunger, poverty, pollution, population control, freedom, human rights, war, and peace, etc. – all of these conditions affect each one of us. Entering into such an era of oneness with a shared destiny, our attitude needs a change, our mentality begs a fitting; we need a new philosophy, a new ideology to center ourselves in.
In short, we need a culture based on ‘Love’ instead of ‘Power,’ ‘Humanism’ instead of ‘Materialism,’ ‘Heart’ instead of ‘Machine,’ ‘Creation’ instead of ‘Production,

Dr. T.F. Chen's New Creation : ''Van Gogh Artists Club''
In 1888, Van Gogh left Paris to paint in Arles, he dreamed to have an artist community for fellow artists coming to share and inspire each other in their artistic pursuit. Since he was poor, he invited Paul Gauguin, which ended in a tragedy.
Yet Van Gogh’s dream seems to be fulfilled through T. F. Chen’s “Neo-Iconography” style of "Post Van Gogh Series".
When T.F. was 14-years old, he wept as he was reading books on Van Gogh and decided to become a painter. Dr. T.F. Chen copied the painting of Van Gogh's "Bedroom", and integrated the essence of art history into these creations. This film traces his passage from this childhood paining to Van Gogh's Artist Club. His art journey has been expanding from 14 to 80 years old.
