Shiau-Peng Chen
Past Artist In Residence
2005

Brooklyn-educated Taiwanese painter and multimedia artist Shiau-Peng Chen takes geometric patterns and smooth curves to express abstract themes such as Tangibility (2005-7), and Immateriality (2005-6). His residency at 18th Street (2005), inspired the series Specificity: in one piece, octagonal shapes comprised of varied colored triangles dot the long white canvas, interrupted by vertical streams of paint allowed to drip down, violating the precise lines. He has exhibited in Melbourne, Taiwan, and China.
