Chu Teh-chun's paintings share the same magical powers with Chinese traditional landscape paintings, they can bring their viewers to a brand new world, through Chu Teh-chun's brush style and the use of colors, he opened a door to a world of pure art, he discovered the world through the lines and brush strokes, and found purity and beauty, he travels in that world, and sets the viewers free, makes them comfortable, gives them excitements, to an extent, his paintings are poetic and selfless, he completely immersed in the world of his creation, although it's a world created by paints on the canvas. However the picture showed a sincere world of Chinese landscape, to a Chinese, it is especially traditional, and familiar.

Hubert Juin, the famous French art and literature critic complimented Chu that he explored the space for painting with his exquisite skills (la virtuosite avec laquelle Chu Teh-chun explore l'espace de la peinture) Another fan of his as well as his oldest agent Maurice Panier maintained that "l'espace de Chu n'appartient pas a la perspective classique; c'est un espace, pourrait-on dire, multidimensional... Le choix subtil des couleurs et la disposition de petits carr'es dans le tableau font naitre des modulations ou passé la lumiere. Les toiles sont a la fois espace et structure①."Success never comes without hard work. Chu explored a whole new space of contemporary art even at the early stage of his career. He employed the essence of Chinese calligraphy into his work and added the free style of western abstract paintings. He revolutionized the way to depict landscape in a new form; he is indeed an innovator.
