About the Item
Calvin Lai's (US based) "Release" is an original, handmade oil painting that depicts a nude female figure, on her knees, arching her back as if turning into the colorful blue and red gestural pattern behind her.
Artist Bio:
Calvin Lai's art is a mixture of medicine, meditation, and personal growth. He found early on that drawing was something he loved, and to make a picture appear lifelike became his goal. Through constantly drawing, his work began to breath, and his fascination with value and perspective led Calvin to become a student of realism. Eventually he moved from where he grew up in Los Angeles to San Francisco. There he studied drawing and printmaking at San Francisco State University. In 2008, he enrolled in the Academy of Art for illustration, but began painting instead. He found that he preferred the fine arts over commercial illustration, and now works as a full time San Francisco oil painter.

Calvin Lai
Calvin Lai would be the first to admit that the evolution of his art has taken many machinations. His painting process
has matured into a mixture of seeing, distorting, and reinterpreting with the threads of realism weaving the backdrop of
where his artistic style is today. As a child, drawing was something Calvin loved, and to make a picture appear lifelike
became his goal. Through constantly working, Calvin’s art began to breath, and his fascination with value and
perspective blossomed. Eventually, he moved from where he grew up in Los Angeles to San Francisco. There he studied
drawing and printmaking at San Francisco State University. In 2008, he enrolled in the Academy of Art for illustration,
but began painting instead. He found that he preferred the fine arts over commercial illustration, and now works as a
full time oil painter.
Since then he has continued to develop and refine his oil painting skills. Lai’s work has been shown nationally in
galleries, group exhibitions, and juried shows. He has executed a large number of commissioned portraits over the past
several years, and his paintings have appeared in national and international publications. His recent work has returned
to a serious study of the figure, which has always been the anchor for his creative drive. His goal has gone beyond mere
technical interpretations to a deeper sense of what the energy of the figure feels like. This goal has also carried over into
his recent still lifes. In his ongoing series, “In the Land of Giants,” Calvin seeks to make a viewer feel as if they are
immersed within the still life witnessing a world that is both fantastical and humorous. But the borders for what he
chooses to paint has expanded to a variety of subjects, including cityscapes, and ultimately he is driven to capture
everything around him through his paints, brushes, and determination.
