“These Bas-Relief paintings are derived from Chinese characters. The characters were originally pictographs, depicting objects where the meaning was expressed iconically.

These words were once pictures. The world is made up of facts that the pictorial words match. Semantics uses external relationships like denotation. The kind of relationship art depends on, is internal. The Art object embodies the meaning.

One may say that the word on the surface becomes the meaning it supports in the painting This embodied meaning or spirit is what makes these objects work of Art.

These paintings are parallel to their pictograph meanings j the way they expose and tie their own perceptual operations to these icons. The works never become something we are sure. Instead, there is a reconciliation of diverse elements such as gunpowder, gold leaf, and paint, that have been melded together to create a visual flow.

There is no dogmatic approach using controlled spontaneity with elements of space and color, the surface becomes something, then look again, it becomes something else. “
