Teng Fei's Grey Scale

A monumental oil on canvas, *Teng Fei's Grey Scale* commands the wall with the quiet authority of a work that understands its own scale — nearly five feet tall and close to six feet wide, it fills a room without demanding it. The polished finish lends the surface a taut luminosity, as though the tonal range of grey has been pressed into stillness beneath glass-like clarity. From John Richard's eponymous collection, this is a piece for the considered interior, one where art is chosen with the same architectural intention as the furnishings themselves.
