This gallery shows an interesting set of work by Beijing artist; Xia Xiaowan. They are composed of many pieces of glass each with a small part painted, when the glass is lined up it forms a three-dimensional image.

Some of my ideas in this article may be radical, immature or even completely wrong. But what I want to get across is that the traditional realistic art requires efforts in the fields of art and science as well. Its contents mostly reflect the external law and common pattern of an object. The room left for the expression of individuality is limited. However, I believe this traditional doctrine possesses fundamental significance in studying and understanding art. Therefore, I have attempted for several times to experiment in that area.The series of glass paintings is an experiment in which several principle concepts in realistic painting have been transformed in both form and function, including the transformation from a single point of view into double view points, between format and quality, etc.
