陳輝東出身臺南，為目前臺灣畫壇在人物肖像、風景、靜物等領域皆能卓然有成的全方位藝術家。初期作品充滿高度實驗精神，表現、抽象與寫實構成其探索向度，加以素來關心世界美術思潮、一度客居歐美，不斷反思與內化，逐步形塑成屬於自身所特有的精神性寫實主義風格。
陳輝東作品充滿濃烈情感與深刻觀察與洞析力，筆下漁民如同大地之子般堪耐摧折卻又內蔵樂觀進取的精神。人物肖像則形神兼備，直探人物內心深處的情緒、感情與理想世界，精彩動人，其家人肖像親情揚溢、友人形影則真情流露，已然成為臺灣美術界中人物表現的獨特風格。
陳輝東風景畫綻放着大自然生機，捕捉了空氣、水份、光影與物像的微妙變化，揭露大自然的神秘存在，乃是對大地生命昂揚、崇高美感的謳歌。本館使命在於建構臺灣美術史，繼郭柏川、郭雪湖、許武勇、洪通之後，此次「美的探索－陳輝東創作展」，呈現出陳輝東六十餘年創作軌跡與其美感世界。
Chen Huei-Tung, born in Tainan, is a celebrated all-round artist in portrait, landscape, and still life painting. Chen was highly experimental in his early career, urging him to later explore expressionism, abstract art, and realism. Moreover, by paying close attention to international trends in the art world and having sojourned in Europe and the United States, the artist has been constantly reflecting on his thoughts and internalizing past experiences, eventually developing a unique painting style of spiritual realism.
Chen’s works reveal strong enthusiasm, detailed observation, and remarkable insights. For example, in his paintings, the resilience, industriousness, and optimism of fishermen are captured. His portraits present the subjects’ appearance and emotions, which vividly depict their internal moods, feelings, as well as ideas and touch viewers’ hearts. Chen’s portraits illustrate the affection between family members and warmth between friends, highlighting the painter’s unique style in Taiwanese portrait painting.
Chen’s landscapes are full of natural vigor, in which he captured subtle movements of the air, water, light, shadows, and objects. The painter discloses the mysterious existence of the nature and sings praises of the earth for its vitality and breathtaking beauty. Following the exhibitions of Kuo Po-Chuan, Kuo Hsueh-Hu, Hsu Wu-Yung, and Hung Tung, the Tainan Art Museum—dedicated to establishing Taiwanese art history— held a solo exhibition for Chen Huei-Tung. Tilted “The Exploration of Beauty: Chen Huei-Tung Solo Exhibition”, the exhibition displays the artist’s journey in art creation over the past six decades and aesthetic world.
