Arguably one of the artist’s greatest achievements is the pioneering use of color in his color-based decomposition of Chinese Kangxi radicals and other language alphabetic character sets as evidenced throughout his abstract Revolutionary Radicals series, appropriating an organic decay process to semantic symbols of cultural elements and dimensions. In this regard, he admitted, “I’m most satisfied, as like a great piece of music where every note is essential, likewise is each stroke in this series of paintings.”
Considered somewhat as a variation on the theme of his Revolutionary Radicals series, the essential elements (melody, harmony, rhythm, counterpoint, tones, atonal features, dynamics et al) that make up great pieces of music strongly influence this outstanding series of works. Masterfully conducted, music resonates from, and audible echoes of “Bravo, Maestro!” may be heard in view of the colorful compositions.
