【 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.

~ Tan Haur 陈豪

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.

Tan Haur's book journal, Moleskine Exhibition

 

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.

Oneness 万象归一

Oneness 万象归一

"Oneness" symbolizes the quality of unity. 

The core axis of our conscious and subconscious mind, it harnesses the past and the present; the good and the bad; the found and the lost. And it brings all existence into one, there is no starting point and there is no ending point, simply like the stream flow into the river and sea, then evaporated into the sky, rain onto the earth and flow back to the stream again.Human race is part of the cosmos, we are different on the circumference, but we are one at the center. And to know this oneness is enlightenment.

by Tan Haur 陈豪
