September 1987

All my life, I have been looking for a channel to fully express myself, in terms of art creation. Finally, I have come to a conclusion that color is one of the essences to present. Throughout my works, I refer it as “Dancing Color” to drill and to explore. In my most

recent works, I gear my subject matter toward “Environmental Protection”. As I present each one of them, I am enclosing the detailed explanation of the context of my idea.

Total of 10 paintings will be completed by the end of July, 2016. I only present 6 of these 10 paintings for your viewing.

Sydney Opera House

Oil on canvass 43”X76”

The aborigines of Australia used this particular wilderness as their hunting ground for thousands of years. After the new settlers came from Europe, this prime real estate was then fully explored to become one of the symbols of Australia. The native Australians

had to retreat from the site. The hand print in the water represents the ancient heritage of the Natives. For the token of progress, the rights of Natives had been deprived.

Easter Island Oil on canvass 41”X86”

Easter Island is located in the corner of South Pacific Ocean. One example in human

history the natives perished due to environment destruction. In order to move the giant statues, they cut down the last tree in this little island. With the wood to make canoe, they eventually starved to death through time.

Peregrine Falcon

Oil on canvass 65”X44”

Peregrine falcon is one of the fastest birds on earth. Peregrine falcon used to nest on cliffs. Now lost of nesting real estate, they found tall buildings quite suited for the purpose. This painting simple demonstrates the rights of wild life which is equally essential to humans.

Fish Oil on canvass 31”X38”

Fish in not a commodity for “Us” to harvest with no bound. Often times, once a food

chain is broken; it will take years to recover. Consumed by greed and demand, we have made the ocean tilted its balance for the last 100 years.

Gold Fish Oil on canvass 41”X64”

Gold fish has been bred for thousands of years for our pleasure. From crops to marine

culture, genetic selection is the approach that has been widely used in our daily lives. I am not saying the gene alteration is good or bad; yet, the consequences of altering Nature is the one we utterly ignored at this time.

Saving the Whale Oil on canvass 40”X44”

Whales often got stranded on beach and died. Thanks to these kind hearted

environmentalists, we are able to show that humanity still does exist.
