谭永勍的绘画始终保持对生命的普遍性与层次感的探讨，画中的人物往往以模糊失真的面貌示人，在简洁干净但昏暗模糊的画面之中，带有丝丝阴郁、虚无及疏离感，而核心则是艺术家对于生命意识和社会问题的关注。谭永勍在创作时，常常会用大量时间去反复推敲与修改作品上的一些细节，直到找到一种接近理想化的微妙的感觉为止。在越来越多人渴望探索创新的时代，谭永勍反而选择了约束和收敛，这种反向的坚定，在九零后艺术家中实为罕见。

Tan Yongqing’s paintings always maintain an exploration of the universality and layering of life. The figures in his practice are often presented in a blurred and distorted manner, with a hint of gloom, emptiness, and detachment. While at the core is the artist’s concern for life consciousness and social issues. During the creation process, Tan often spends a lot of time to repeatedly refine and modifying some details of his works until he finds a subtle feeling close to idealization. In an era when more and more people are pursuing innovations, Tan Yongqing has instead chosen to restrain and converge, a reverse firmness that is rare among post-1990 artists.
