Artist Statement
Chan-Ao Chao
INKRESONANCE
Ink is the medium, resonance is the flavor, aftertaste, and rhythm. It embodies the spiritual temperament carried by ink. It points to Chan-Ao Chao's ink creations, and more importantly, to the "brushwork" he brings into oil painting.
CHROMATIC POETRY
Color is the dimension of hues, the Western pigments; chapter can refer to sections, with each work as a chapter, or as movements, like sections of a symphony, written in color.
