Jat See-yeu wrote the four characters yi bu wei xiao in cursive script, which conveys the meaning that no act is insignificant. He freely experimented with ink diffusion and colour rendering, ingeniously integrated diverse characters, strokes and composition, and deliberately played with negative space. With meticulous attention to the choice of paper, the application of ink and colour, as well as thoughtful consideration of mounting and embellishment, Jat composed calligraphic works with fascinating imagery and charm.
翟仕堯以草書寫「一不為小」,將水墨滲化效果及色彩運用,結合文字造型變化,個性化線條及結構布白,走出嶄新的書法面貌。他在紙、墨、彩及用筆構形,甚至在作品裝潢上都精研考究,創造出別具圖像意趣及水墨韻味的作品。
