Tian Teng's series "The Shape of Unseen" prompts us to contemplate what often slips our notice: the exteriors of the buildings where we reside, work, shop, dine, and unwind. While most paintings position us as mere observers, pondering the enigma of what lies within, certain windows beckon passersby to step inside. Conversely, some window coverings act as deterrents, deflecting light and prying gazes from without. The titles of these works derive from the postal codes of the buildings, subtly emphasizing the series' predominantly Dutch essence. To those well-acquainted with Dutch urban landscapes, the houses and facades depicted might appear familiar or even mundane. However, in her series, Tian Teng emphasizes the distinct essence of these facades and the narratives concealed behind them. This fascination fuels the artist, who hails from China, and forms the focal point of her exploration within her paintings.

滕天的系列作品《未见之形》唤起我们对那些常常在无意识中被忽略的事物进行反思：我们生活、工作、购物、用餐和饮酒的建筑物的外观。大多数绘画将我们至于旁观者的位置，想象着室内可能正在发生的内容。有些窗户似乎引诱着过路人走进里面，在其他情况下，窗帘实际上阻挡了外界的光线和目光。 此系列作品的标题都来自于建筑物的邮政编码，同时强调了该系列作品的荷兰特色。对于那些熟悉荷兰城市的人来说，画布上的房屋和外观可能看起来很熟悉甚至“普通”。然而在她的系列作品中，滕天主要强调了这些外观的特殊性质以及背后的事物。这正是这位在中国长大的艺术家着迷的地方，也是她在绘画中探索的内容。
