Dots and Lines Greeting Spring, 1996

Visual Conception: The work depicts the gnarled, spreading branches of old trees in winter, transforming them into an abstract interplay of points and lines that suggests the first stirrings of spring and the renewal of life.

Artistic Style: Blending the expressive spirit of traditional Chinese ink painting with Western modern abstraction, the work uses luminous touches of color and flowing lines to convey the vital rhythms and regenerative energy of nature.
