Chen Wen Hsi (b. 1906, Guangdong, China — d. 1991, Singapore) was a pioneering Chinese-born Malayan artist associated with the emergence of the Nanyang style. He received his art education from the Shanghai College of Art and later the Xinhua College of Art. He had already made a name for himself in his native China and internationally by the time he arrived in Singapore in 1948. In Singapore, he was a lecturer at the Chinese High School and the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts. Like many of his peers in the Nanyang style, Chen was proficient in both Chinese ink painting and Western oils. While he is most known for his Chinese ink paintings of gibbons in the traditional xieyi style, he also experimented with Cubist and abstract techniques in many of his works.
