This work is a reimagining rooted in the visual lexicon of David Hockney. Embodying his signature flattened compositions and luminous palette, the piece juxtaposes a swimming pool and its shimmering surface with the natural world: a black-and-white crane glides across the cerulean water, while a parrot stands poised on the edge, creating a poetic dialogue between motion and stillness. While paying homage to Hockney’s legacy, the work weaves in a distinct personal narrative, restructuring familiar visual tropes to evoke a fresh sense of tension and contemporary storytelling.
The Golden Bird's Perch
Set in a palette of warm orange and gold, this oil painting captures the natural essence of autumn vines intertwined with ripening fruit. A solitary bird perched upon a branch bows its head in quiet contemplation, as if listening to the subtle turning of the seasons.
The composition is both minimalist and decorative; layers of leaves unfurl in a rhythmic progression of color, transitioning from deep crimson to vibrant orange. This deliberate use of form and hue evokes a sense of poetic tranquility. Striking a delicate balance between Eastern aesthetics and modern design, the piece marries the elegance of Art Deco with the gentle vitality of the natural world.
Flying Swallows
This oil painting employs a minimalist composition to depict five swallows in flight. Their black silhouettes glide gracefully across a soft, off-white background, while subtle touches of red on their heads serve as restrained yet powerful focal points.
The expansive use of negative space—or liubai—lends the piece a rhythmic sense of breath and tranquility, immersing the viewer in an boundless sky. The varying postures of the swallows create a fluid cadence that is at once liberated and orderly, offering a poetic meditation on migration, orientation, and inner balance. With its clean, modern aesthetic, the work achieves a delicate harmony between Eastern sensibility and contemporary design language.
Geometric Holiday
Rendered in vibrant, pristine blocks of color, this oil painting constructs a space brimming with sunlight and the spirit of a coastal getaway. Arched architecture, a sapphire pool, and towering palms coalesce to define a scene that is both tranquil and weightless. A scattering of birds, captured in various poses, punctuates the composition with a sense of playfulness and life.
Through simplified lines and bold color contrasts, the artist creates an idealized world suspended between reality and imagination. The work possesses a sleek, modern design aesthetic while subtly echoing the leisurely tempo of Mediterranean living. Bright and breezy, the overall atmosphere evokes the warmth of a sea breeze, inviting the viewer into a fleeting moment of pure liberation and repose.
Brooklyn No.1
Centered on a striking red facade, this oil painting captures the iconic row houses of a Brooklyn neighborhood. The minimalist geometric structure and the rhythmic repetition of window panes establish a steady visual pulse, while the skeletal shadows of black branches and wrought-iron fencing instill a sense of restrained, elegant order. By employing highly generalized lines and pure blocks of color, the artist strips away superfluous detail, transforming an everyday urban scene into a near-symbolic visual language.
Here, the red is more than a structural hue; it acts as an emotional vessel—evoking warmth, solitude, and the hidden tensions of metropolitan life. Despite the absence of figures in this quiet frame, the human presence and the passage of time remain palpable throughout. Balancing modern minimalism with urban narrative, the work presents a New York moment that is at once familiar and profoundly re-examined.
Draw Close
Rendered in vibrant, saturated hues, this oil painting depicts two parrots nestled together, framed by a theatrical border that transforms the scene into a tender, slightly dramatic "performance of emotion." The bold contrast between brilliant reds and yellows pulses with energy and tension, while the simplified lines and flattened forms lend the figures a direct, pure presence, evocative of a modern Art Deco aesthetic.
The shadowy silhouettes of spectators appearing at the bottom of the frame introduce a narrative layer to the stillness—suggesting that this is not merely an intimate moment between two birds, but a relationship being observed and recorded. Hovering between playfulness and metaphor, the piece is at once breezy and bright, yet underpinned by themes of intimacy, companionship, and expression. It offers a visual experience that is thoroughly contemporary, yet resonant with emotional warmth.
Gaze Across
Constructed with bright, pristine color blocks, this oil painting evokes a natural scene steeped in Eastern poetic sensibility. A white crane and a parrot stand poised among flowering branches, as if engaged in a silent, elegant dialogue. Blossoming white petals and clusters of red berries punctuate the boughs, unfolding against a soft chartreuse background that radiates warmth and serenity.
The artist employs simplified lines and a flattened composition to translate traditional "bird-and-flower" motifs into a contemporary visual lexicon. The stateliness of the crane contrasts with the vivacity of the parrot, establishing a delicate equilibrium between order and spontaneity. While retaining the subtle, lyrical essence of Eastern aesthetics, the work integrates the clarity and rhythm of modern design—culminating in a beauty that is weightless, restrained, and vibrantly alive.
She Among Flowers
This work employs a highly refined decorative language to reconstruct the relationship between female portraiture and natural imagery. The figure stands in profile, her posture restrained and elegant; her features are distilled into soft, continuous contours that merge with the surrounding flora and fluid forms to create an integrated visual structure. The composition achieves a precise equilibrium between flat planes and sinuous curves, manifesting a powerful sense of rhythm and decorative order.
Through a saturated and harmonious palette—interweaving warm orange, golden yellow, and muted green tones—the artist crafts a viewing experience that is simultaneously intimate and detached. The figure’s introspective stance creates a subtle tension with the lush natural elements, causing the boundaries between the "self" and the "external world" to be continually blurred and rewritten.
Visually, the work subtly echoes the emphasis on line and pattern found in early 20th-century Art Deco and Art Nouveau. However, through a contemporary lens of simplification and abstraction, it sheds traditional narrative in favor of a purer exploration of form and emotional space. The piece serves both as a gaze upon the female form and a gentle reflection on the act of looking itself.
Still Power
This work employs bold geometric composition and pristine color fields to construct a highly idealized spatial environment. The stark contrast between the white architecture and the red structural elements creates a sharp visual division, generating powerful spatial tension against the backdrop of a deep indigo sky. A reclining cheetah serves as the focal point of the piece; its posture is composed yet vigilant, maintaining a delicate equilibrium between absolute stillness and potential motion.
Through the use of radically simplified forms and high-saturation colors, the artist strips away realistic detail to reinforce a sense of visual order, treating both the architecture and the animal as fundamental compositional elements. The juxtaposition of cool, geometric space with organic life imbues the work with a restrained, taut energy. The overall piece offers a visual experience suspended between the vocabulary of modernist architecture and contemporary graphic language—at once rational and lucid, yet simmering with latent power and uncertainty.
Afterglow
This work employs loose, layered brushwork to capture the interplay of sea and sky at twilight. Pale oranges and soft blues bleed into one another, blurring the horizon and shifting the space from a figurative scene into a more visceral color-field experience.
The artist moves away from the depiction of specific scenery, choosing instead to convey the flux of time and light through color and texture. The subtle undulations of the sea echo the weightless layering of the sky, creating a rhythmic pulse beneath the stillness. Hovering between landscape and abstraction, the piece cultivates a gentle, introspective emotional field—inviting the viewer to sink into a fleeting moment of tranquility and heightened perception.
