.
Natural phenomena, such as living water, gentle rains and seas of clouds are themes that Jat See-yeu constantly revisited in his works. By imbuing Chinese characters’ distinctive forms with his imagination and creativity, his whimsical shades of ink and colour vibrantly portray the many facets of nature, capturing its quintessential aura and charm.
活水、聽雨、雲海等自然萬象為翟仕堯不斷反覆書寫的題材。他巧妙地運用漢字獨特的造型，個人的想像與創造，加之以墨韻的深淺及色彩的變化，生動地勾畫出萬變的自然景象，呈現大自然的氣息和意趣。
