The value of painting is in how it creates an inner world where the image itself can be free. Ji Dachun has achieved this, reflecting not only his fantasies and obsessions with the world but also conveying the allure of the painting itself in a very lively manner: hesitation, affirmation, revision, suggestion, ornamentation and obfuscation. This direct method of working seems more like a psychological test done in the form of a painting. Creatively speaking, this meets Ji Dachun's need for a simple yet rich method of expression.

In his completed artwork, we can sense his elegant rebellion. He is only exploring anew the potential of painting rather than totally abandoning his paintbrush. In terms of "likeness", he has made imagery a subjective method of expressing one's own personal character and a humorous transformation. Beyond this, Dachun is also continuing to press himself on the meaning of classic arts in order to give his paintings more modernity. In other words, the painting is itself an experiment in painting. In one sense, Ji Dachun's painting can be considered the use of Western modern perspectives and graphical models to rediscover the spirit of modernity within traditional visual arts.
