As he puts the brush to paper, one almost forgets that the 42 year old is creating the art with only his eye . Mr Chen displays his unique skill at his art shop in Sichuan Province, where his will happily show how he creates the great swirling letters using his eye. He says he began learning calligraphy at age eight and started practising 'eye-writing' 16 years ago. But viewers will need a strong stomach if they want to watch Mr Chen work.
