Lo Chan Peng was born in 1983 in Jia Yi, Taiwan. His painting techniques have changed through these past few years’ exploration. If one sees hype realistic painting as a path, and the change of style as the finishing line to this path, then one could certainly reach a higher ground before the change of style, yet staying within the same path. Just like the wise Leonardo da Vinci his accomplishment had extended beyond visual art, breaking away from the path to a vast plain. There are only borders to the plain, but there is no order. He has been trying to navigate where he is, and where he should head to in these past few years, meaning that he has been slowly moving away from hyper realistic paintings.

 

At the moment he quite enjoys the art of calligraphy, and this is where he would like to steer toward to. Looking at the current art world, more and more paintings are included in the exhibitions, with influences from the Renaissance to modernism and contemporary art philosophy. One could see it in the pioneers such as Gerhard Richter, Luc Tuymans, Michaël Borremans, Peter Doig, Jenny Saville and Adrian Ghenie. These inspirational artists’ works are reflective of the reinterpretation of photography as reflected in figurative paintings, they also light up the path where Lo is heading to.
