  • An Oil Painting "Refuse" April 20, 2026
      My oil painting “Refuse” was inspired by the pile of clothes discarded to be recycled or reused. They are not waste; rather, they are materials for future purposes. Berkeley is a land of the free, and people can reinvent and grow into a better version of themselves through ingenuity and diligent labor. This pile […]

    Gallery 2727 in Berkeley is presenting my solo virtual exhibition: Human Conditions: Portraits of a Fraying Age (February 1 – March 3, 2026), featuring 21 figurative and portrait paintings of mine.I depict life frankly and critically, as visual surfaces and interior qualities.

The somewhat stunned or stupefied expression denoted the moment when his […]
  • Pessimistic oil painting “All that is solid” February 16, 2024
      A quote from Karl Marx “All that is solid melts into air, all that is holy is profaned” perfectly capture our sad epoch and this monochromatic painting of a disintegrating city/landscape reflects such pessimistic sentiment. All That Is Solid Oil on Canvas 22” x 28” Completed in 2022
  • Successful East Bay Open Studios at Makers Workspace Studio December 7, 2023
    On December 2 and 3, fourteen artists and artisans presented paintings, drawings, ceramics, mosaics, and jewelry at Makers Workspace Studio during the East Bay Open Studios (EBOS). It was a successful communal space. I am particularly pleased that my friend Edith Ng presented her beautiful ceramics to the public for the first time, as our […]
