“Huang Gang did not interfere too much with the visual effects and power of the main ready-made objects-Buddhist scripture carving plates. He regards these cultural relics that have undergone time verification as self-sufficient life forms, since they can express their history and cultural connotation through their forms. These investigations on the form are not just a kind of need for aesthetics, but also show an attitude of artists towards traditional culture. It includes the vital respect for the cultural foundation in self-growth. It also demonstrates his efforts to transform this respect into the visual style of modern art.”
——Sheng Wei, Chinese Art History Scholar
