This exceptional artwork is currently on display and available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online. Calvin Lai’s Chroma 29 (Turquoise), executed in oil on cradled board, is a contemplative work that captures the figure in a crouched, almost protective posture. The surrounding turquoise field envelops the subject in a veil of calm intensity. The colour palette is striking—cool turquoises dominate, softened with subtle shifts of teal and aquamarine. A single note of warm sienna at the shoulder interrupts the chromatic field, anchoring the body within the sea of blues and offering a sharp emotional contrast. This juxtaposition between warmth and coolness adds depth and complexity to the work. Lai’s abstracted figurative approach distills the body into planes of colour and suggestion, using brushstrokes that blur the line between figure and atmosphere. The painting conveys both solitude and strength, evoking the quiet power of introspection within a luminous, almost aquatic environment. Artist Biography: 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.
