"Kinetic Stillness" is a piece about tension. The motion of reaching back while bending the head forward, the dichotomy between a stationary figure with the amount of movement seen in the figure's back, all add to the sense of tension. In my work I want the viewer to feel as if they are in the same space that the subject matter occupies. I do this by painting the subject close to the edges of the picture plane, so I am very conscious that the figure's fingers rest on the very edge of the composition. This piece, like all my recent figurative work borders between genres and blends between realism, impressionism, and modern

Calvin Lai's art is a mixture of medicine, meditation, and personal growth. He found early on that drawing was something he loved, and to make a picture appear lifelike became his goal. Through constantly drawing, Calvin’s work began to breath, and his fascination with value and perspective led him to become a student of realism. Eventually, he moved from where he grew up in Los Angeles to San Francisco. There he studied drawing and printmaking at San Francisco State University. In 2008, he enrolled in the Academy of Art for illustration, but began painting instead. He found that he preferred the fine arts over commercial illustration, and now works as a full time oil painter. Since then he has continued to develop and refine his oil painting skills. Lai’s work has been shown nationally in galleries, group exhibitions and juried shows. He has executed a large number of commissioned portraits over the past several years, and his paintings have appeared in national and international publications. Throughout his career, Calvin Lai has expanded his focus from figurative and portraiture to encompass a variety of subjects such as still lifes to the San Francisco cityscape. Now he has no borders to what he chooses to paint, and he is driven to capture everything around him through his paints, brushes, and determination.
