Weiliang Zhao speaks to our contemporary life with a sense of abstractions that reaches the classical.  One can feel the reverence of his work by the wholeness perceived in viewing it in contemplation.  His work brings through the past to this significant 21st century with a hint to what is still to be.  His work is dynamic, powerful, and combines "Oriental soul with the mystery of Western abstraction."
