当下文化所具有的复杂性、多样性，艺术家个人人格和性格上的双重性、多重性以及因时变异，都决定着艺术家在艺术表述方面存在着多样性的可能。我生命中这种多样性的存在和冲突是非常明显的。很多人都想按一种既定的模式来归纳我。实际上我是很难被归纳的一个艺术家，我的作品从整体上很难进入现存的任何一种评判体系，因而显得很边缘和另类。如果单从内容和形式来读我的画，来归纳我，那将是困难的。你得放开尺度、丢掉现有的规则来审视，把我看成是一个具有复杂性、多重性文化形态的艺术家，而这复杂性、多重性正是当下中国文化生态的反射，只不过我的创作很明显很悲哀地体现了这种反射。

摘自《清溪对话》2007年6月

　　The possibility of diverse art expression is determined by complicity, multiformity of the current culture and dualism, multeity and variation of personality and characteristic of artists. In my life, this diversity exists and conflicts. Many people try to typecast me into one role. As a matter of fact, I am an artist who is hard to describe. My work is hard to categorize because it appears unconventional. It is difficult to evaluate my paintings and define me as an artist just from subject matter and form. One has to discard current rules and regard me as an artist of complicity and multiformity, which are the reflection of the current Chinese cultural ecology. My work clearly and sorrowfully embodies the reflection.
