The inspiration for Liang Ping-cheng's artworks comes from the purest sense of beauty from nature directly into the essence of sculpture art. Through form, content, concepts and transformation, he transcends the limitations of a single style, naturally opening a new door to the unknown in sculpture.

Liang Ping-cheng's "Golden Mask Series" has opened a new field of vision for woodcarving, one that subverts the old traditions of the depiction of shapes and departs from western prototype theory, instead using formative freestyle and conceptual transformation to convey the dialogue within the work. On a microscopic level, the marks and totems in Liang's works all show ordered arrangement. The outcroppings from the work's surface are like the relief inscriptions on ancient Chinese coins. These repeatedly interlocking personal totems are imbued with the artist's experience pursuing beauty.

"Golden Mask 705" is carved out of camphor wood with fine grains, a solid feel and light sheen on the surface. It is shaped like a Chinese-style stele. The careful carving and polishing brings out tender feelings from the feel of thickness and a dialogue with the wood. The work emphasizes expression through positive and negative spaces, creating a seemingly concrete form out of a woven mesh of illusion. The Golden Mask can be seen as an individual farewell to past times and a longing for the new era. Of course it can also be seen as an act of disguising inner truth. In terms of artistic expression, the Golden Mask encompasses a pursuit of history and culture as well as the construction of a new face for contemporary art.
