“柴祖舜的作品令人振奋！的确，它的作品基于永恒的“亚洲美学”，不过却原汁原味地响应了西方当代艺术。更重要的是，他的作品与人类精神实质产生了共鸣，即色彩，暗示手法和把握能力相互结合，将作品从纯粹的文化和大地层次跨越到了灵魂层次。

“Chai’s work is so very spiritually stimulating!! Yes, it is grounded in an ageless ‘Asian aesthetic,’ but his paintings are a very original response to Western contemporary art.   More importantly, his work is resonant enough with truth about the human spirit; of how colors, suggestive forms and the mastery of chance transcend mere culture, and land right into the soul!”
