TERENCE TEO 赵振强
Terence Teo is well known for his contemporary ink paintings which are inspired by subjects from Nature. They are mainly segmented into 4 collections which include the “Rainforest Series”, “Landscapes”, “Water reflections series” and “Morning Sky Series”. Many of Terence Teo’s creations are marked by strong lines and passionate application of different colours. Factors such as a balanced composition, application of non-identical brushstrokes are essential to every painting he creates. Utilising his artworks to convey rhythm and share his love of music with the viewers, Terence constantly invites viewers to experience his understanding of nature through his paintings. Echo of the four seasons, is his latest series of works which accumulates the development of his artistic techniques and philosophy thus far. In 2013, Terence Teo won the Asia Art Award at the Asia Invitation Art Exhibition held in Seoul, Korea.
“His oeuvre of artworks has evolved and articulated with different expressive efforts while retaining the underlying idea of rhythms and music. He has also incorporated time and seasons as the backdrop to his presentations; like a musical composition such as The Four Seasons by Vivaldi.”
