He graduated from the Australian National University (Master of Visual arts) with a high distinction in digital imaging and photography in 2007. Tan draws inspiration from the natural environment and nurtures an interest in Buddhist philosophy and practice, humanity and its many facets, and artificial intelligence in the making of art. To gain new perspectives, Tan immerses himself into different environments, experiencing the differences, and experimenting with different mediums and technologies in art creation and interaction, continuously in search of the relationship between Nature, Culture, Art, Media, and Technology.

【 墙言屋语录 】

Speaking Wall

大自然与人的共创系列一

If you look closely enough, walls can speak.

If you look closely enough, walls recorded messages from weather, nature and culture.

If you look closely enough, walls are visual diary of every single day life.

If you look closely enough, walls tell you their past and present.

If you look closely enough, you will see things that you don‘t see.

If you look closely enough, walls reveal the secret in life.

If you look closely enough, wear & tear are part of the process in life.

If you look close enough, nothing stay permanent, life is constantly changing.

Life is change. Only one thing is permanent, and that is change itself.

ILLUSTRATION 插画艺术

My illustration work is sort of a mixture of elements since Design College. On one hand it is a dialogue between me and the subject matters and on the other it is the traditional practice of just working with the materials. I like to get lost in the work and try to find out what the paper or digital canvas wants me to do with it.

I love creating illustrations for the children's market and for products, brands and publications. Often inspired by children and animals, I like silly and whimsical subject matter and anthropomorphic critters. 

I develop most of my illustrations the old-fashioned way, using pencil, pen and color ink, sometimes I color them digitally using Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator.
