1979年出生于福建仙游，1999年毕业于福建师范大学美术学院油画专业，现为职业艺术家。在多年的艺术实践和创作中，陈鸿志以其敏锐的感知力与鲜活的想象力游曳于油画、装置和纸雕等不同媒介与艺术形式的表现之中。
陈鸿志的作品时常投射出自身对童年记忆的情感反照和对现实生存经验审视的双重表达，进而对人的个体生存产生更加细致的思考。其作品在画面的大场景中将人群扭曲，呈现如蜉蝣一般或麻木或盲从的群流。从油画语言到综合材料，再到立体空间绘画，陈鸿志有意识的打破自己的绘画惯性，将材料和媒介当作语言载体，逐渐向立体空间和自然维度转换，将材料的属性和绘画技法有机结合, 并不断进行尝试和深入研究。
陈鸿志的作品已参展于中国美术馆、今日美术馆、多伦美术馆、福建省美术馆、四川美术学院美术馆、陶溪川美术馆、圣东方画廊、第零空间等，并在中国北京/上海/重庆/厦门/福州/台湾/香港、美国、韩国、马来西亚等多地展出。
Born in 1979 in Xianyou, Fujian province. Being as a full-time artist, he has a professional background by graduating from Fujian Normal University with major in Fine Arts. In years of artistic practice and creation, Chen Hongzhi, with his keen perception and vivid imagination, has been wandering through different art media and forms of expression in his creation and daily life, such as oil painting and installation.
Chen Hongzhi’s works often reflect an expression of emotional introspection on childhood memories and a critical examination of real-life experiences, leading to a more nuanced contemplation of individual existence. In his compositions, large-scale scenes depict distorted crowds, presenting masses that are either apathetic or blindly conforming, akin to ephemeral mayflies. From oil painting to mixed media and three-dimensional spatial painting, Chen intentionally breaks away from his habitual artistic practices. He treats materials and mediums as carriers of language, progressively transitioning toward three-dimensional space and natural dimensions. By organically integrating the properties of materials with painting techniques, he continually experiments and delves deeper into his artistic research.
Chen’s works have been included in exhibitions at China Art Museum, Today Art Museum, Duolun Museum of Modern Art, Fujian Art Museum, Art Museum of Sichuan Fine Art Institute, TXC Art Gallery, Holy Oriental Art Gallery, and Zero Space, etc., and have been shown in Beijing/Shanghai/Chongqing/Xiamen/Fuzhou/Taiwan/Hong Kong, China, USA, South Korea, and Malaysia, among others.
