Chaco Terada
Brake, unique photograph on silk with sumi ink brushwork

2021

About the Item

Brake, unique photograph on silk with sumi ink brushwork Chaco Terada's relationship with photo-eye dates back about 15 years. Over this period I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know Chaco, watching her career blossom and her art-making process evolve. Chaco began producing art at age four when she began her studies in the ancient art of calligraphy. In her twenties, her calligraphy skills presented the opportunity to travel. Chaco eventually decided to settle in the United States, where she developed a passion for photography, which she began incorporating into her brushwork. In this new process, she moved away from traditional characters, which can be literally interpreted, into a new free-form version of calligraphy that she considers meditative mark-making. These marks benefit from a mastery of the ancient art of calligraphy but are not bound by traditional rules. I find harmony between traditional and contemporary calligraphy in my artwork. -- Chaco Terada
