观《大男孩系列》有趣、好笑，同时也有一种朦胧的震撼。一个男孩与变形的物体充满了画面，在极其认真地进行着一些毫无意义的游戏，他的玩具是线团、小板凳、小镜子等物体，更重要的玩具是他自己。也许他在实验着肢体的某种可能性；也许是一种无可奈何的消遣；也许什么也不为，只是展现某种存在的状态，他是游戏者，也是游戏的对象。这场游戏只是属于一个人，并无第二个参与者，画面中的有两个男孩，只不过是自己的“镜像”而已。这场游戏是无意义却有意义；他的身份、性别、国籍都不十分了然。男孩戴着耳环、手镯，穿着胸衣，代表着中国, 乃至世界现代各色人的生活状态：物质化发展及社会格局的变化快节奏, 人和人之间很少往来、沟通，寂寞、孤独、自恋、自闭等袭击着中国和世界的人们，这是一个中国，乃至世界的社会问题……

We are not entirely clear about the identity, gender or nationality of this adolescent who wears earrings, a bracelet, and a brassiere, but he is representative of modern China and even the life-styles of people of all colors in the present-day world. With the rapid pace of development of material conditions and changes in the structure of society, social intercourse and real communication between people has lessened. So isolation , loneliness, narcissism and infantile autism have unexpectedly arisen to trouble people in China as well as in other countries; this is both a Chinese and world-wide social problem.
The paintings in the “Big Boy Series” are excellent works not only because of their demonstration of consummate technical skill and perfect employment of color, but even more important for their unity of philosophy and art, and the unified story they tell of a painter’s life and
