Chen Yifei (???, 1946-2005) is a central figure
in the development of Chinese oil painting and is
one of China's most renowned contemporary
artists. Chen Yifei was born in 1946 in Ningbo,
in coastal Zhejiang Province. When he was a
child, his family moved to Shanghai, where he was
to study Russian artists and Socialist Realism,
China's official art style at the time. In 1965
he graduated from the Shanghai College of Art.   
    In 1980 he became one of the first artists
from the People's Republic of China permitted to
work and study art in the United States. Chen
Yifei, who often said he arrived with just 38 in
his pocket, soon enrolled at Hunter College and
found work as an art restorer. In 1983, even
before he earned his master's degree at Hunter,
his solo exhibition at the Hammer Galleries
created a sensation by selling out in the first
week. Later, he painted on contract for the
Hammer Galleries. When Chen returned to China in
1990, he settled in Shanghai, where some critics
say he turned increasingly commercial. Although
he often traveled to Tibet and painted
Impressionist landscapes in his native Zhejiang
Province, he had also transformed himself into a
style entrepreneur, decorating hotels, creating
fashion brands and selling high-end clothing and
chic home furnishings. He even oversaw one of the
country's biggest modeling agencies.
