Alvin Tan

I live and work in the San Francisco Bay Area.

I paint from memories from past experience, to create a visual situation with spacial distinctive geometry forms in bold formation, and layerings it with colours and traces of spontaneous scribble to evoke the mental visual reaction. I leave to the viewers to interpret my work, there are no right or wrong way of reaction on my work. It only matter when one respond to it in one way or the other.
