RECOGNITION

Tedwongt is a Chinese-American painter born and based in San Francisco, CA. A self-taught artist, his abstractions are a calculated blend of freedom, curiosity and intensity. Curators have described his work as “sophisticated graffiti”.

Expression takes center stage in his work.

A very reserved artist, he has trouble expressing his emotions. He paints with discouragement, fear, determination, happiness, and sadness. He paints everything he wishes he can say, everything he wishes he can do. Painting has become his window to lost thoughts.

“My work has currently been focused on concepts of letting go. I want to take myself out of the equation and have the work flow out organically. I found myself thinking too much about outcomes and not enough about the journey. My aim this year is to capture emotion as opposed to making emotion. I want my work to look natural. To feel real.”
