TongTong Deng is an artist graduated from Rhode Island School of Design in 2018 and Royal College of Art in 2022.

“Like musicians and writers, artists are keenly perceptive and are able to magnify both pleasure and pain. Whenever I have the feeling of overwhelming sensation to things around me or life itself, I try to convert them into pictures. I do not paint total reality or dreams, but rather try to strike a balance between abstraction and representation. No matter what material I chose to use, I try to bring forth a quiet but intense feeling of colors and images.”

“ 艺术家像音乐家和作家一样拥有敏锐的感知能力, 它放大快乐也放大痛苦。当我对生活和周围事物的感受溢出来时，我有幸将他们做成图片呈现。我不画完全的现实或梦境，试图平衡在抽象与具象的跷跷板上。无论运用哪一种材料，我试图用安静的颜色和画面孕育缓慢且强烈的感受。”
