I like these paintings but I find the frames really distracting,especially since the images are so detailed- some of the frames fight for attention, and I’m not seeing what the point of having them included. Some artists make custom frames that involve the paintings in the design but these don’t seem to do that. (And usually the images are simpler so the frame is more integrated with the art.)

Besides that the images are fantastic

Thanks for the comment, vanderlun.

I don’t see it that way, though. It feels more to me like someone who has something to say, but who is still developing their voice. His approach to communication changes from image to image, indicative, I think, of a search for his own mature style.

Well, I can see the quality in the work. but at the last I think it fails because there is something ineffably cute and trivial about the work. It feels like a man who has mastered the technique but is pushing too hard on the “insight” button.

Thanks, Li-An. You're correct. That's where I found out about him (Spectrum 14). Other readers should check out Li-An's always fascinating blog, which has recently been redesigned. (In French, but with plenty of great images.)
