陈彧君是最具个人特色的中国当代艺术家之一，其作品以个人与故乡之间的情感为纽带，探讨在世代相传的移民背景下有关家庭、个人身份与空间的概念。陈彧君出生于中国福建莆田，在他的家乡有许多人居移居东南亚，这些"移民者"不断努力适应全新的文化环境，平衡外界影响与个人身份间的冲突。他的作品便透过对特定个体的描绘和审视，传达出具有社会学意义的视觉叙事，展现了个体的身份转变和内部转化，以及它们对整个国家和当代文化在整体上带来的影响。此外，陈彧君的作品也试图对人们在面对周围环境和文化的持续转变时的自我意识作出深刻的阐释。

Chen Yujun is one of the most distinctive Chinese contemporary artists, whose works always use the emotion between individual and hometown as a link to explore the concept about family, identity and space in the context of immigrants from generation to generation. CHEN Yujun was born in Putian, Fujian province, China. In his hometown, many people immigrated to Southeast Asia. These "immigrants" constantly strive to adapt to the new cultural environment and balance the conflict between external influence and personal identity. His works convey visual narration with sociologically meaningful through the depiction and examination of specific individuals, showing the transformation of individual identity and internal transformation, and their impact on the whole country and contemporary culture. In addition, CHEN's works also attempt to provide a profound interpretation of people's self-awareness in the face of continuous changes in their surroundings and culture.
