He was the editor of the Hong Kong Visual Arts Yearbook since 2000, the art governor of City Art Square and also the advisor of the Asia Art Archive. His art work mainly focuses on three aspects: Cultural meaning: Trying to think more philosophically, you can get more inspiration from those philosophical idea.
Physical aspect: Using different materials and combine them together in order to produce a new product. You will face the problem of how to connect them well together and how to make your problem stand properly.
Mental aspect: This is the key element which is difficult to explain in term of art
You can think about it as a combination of cultural and materials properties, it may be different in every century or country. This is very abstract and strange, such as you can suddenly get an inspiration at a moment or in a place. This unpredictable feeling is what he thinks as “mental aspect”.
