Yachi Lai's work:
Applauding No.1 Acrylic on Canvas, 72.5x91cm 2011
You never thought the woman hanging down the head like this,
until Pablo Picasso drew it from his mind.
And, one day, sitting in your living room, your realized the gesture from your friend, or a family,
or yourself.
You could not await to give an applause for the picture in your mind.
Behold! The woman in front of you still stay in her world,
and genuine work was settled with price higher and higher, auction by auction.
Where your applause would go?

Picasso ever asked 張大千 Chang Dai chen (or Zhang DaQian, Chinese artist 1899-1983)
the similar question when they met in Nice, 1956.
Picasso asked Zhang "Where is your work?"
After then, Zhang started a totally new series.
-----
When a master like Picasso gave appraise like this,
what will you do?
Zhang chose to create new works with a trendy style,
while combing the skills he practiced from long time ago, and he succeeded.

Yachi Lai's work:
In Light of Chang Dai-Chien‧The World as It Was 3
Young artist Yachi Lai (1980-, Taiwanese)
shared the same inspiration when kindergarten.
“You paint truly wonderfully!”
What you will do when you receive a big compliment from an important person?
Maybe a series of revolution, like Picasso, Chang Dai-Chien or young artist like, Yachi Lai.

As for the style of traditional Chinese painting,
people might need more time to reveal and capture the spirit of the culture (around 5000 yrs),
and unwind the real spirit at some moment, unexpected one.
