Chen Duxi is a contemporary artist born in Chengdu, combining Taoism and Chinese modern art in his artworks. Text in English and Chinese.

Infinite Valley is a spatial art installation created by contemporary artist Chen Duxi. The title is deeply inspired by the Tao Te Ching, where the "valley" serves as a metaphor for the Tao itself—evoking its encompassing, nurturing, and receptive qualities. This compressed, element-blending space perfectly embodies the metaphysical concept of "Tranquil Aesthetics." By encouraging a return to contemplation and a reimagining of form, the project transforms mundane daily routines into a form of artistic practice—a ritual for living.
