Calvin Chih-Hao Teng

Artist Statement:

"Don’t like over-elaborate formalities.

Don’t enjoy citing classic works.

Not good at giving long-winded statement.

I only use ingenuity, simplicity, modesty, and intuition to share and examine my notion of creativity.

Through self-awareness, I realize that life goes on.

Through sunlight, air and water, my paintings begin to breathe.

With deep Chinese cultural influences,

I wonder through the imaginary, three-dimensional space constructed by virtual and real images.

Filled with dramatic tension at times,

Or with calming rhythms at another,

I turn poetry into paintings.

Everything I paint,

Has not only become living artworks that breathe,

But also a window to the soul.

Like shadows casted by wielding a sword,
Intangibles are there to paint.

I Paint, Therefore I Am."

Very Little.
