“Despite the richness of cultural elements, Yu’s painting posses an abstract quality, most fascinating and very powerful.”
– George Rivera, Executive Director/Senior Curator, Triton Museum, Santa Clara, California
“The folk houses were never built for the sake of art. Yet, Yu’s use of lines, color, light and form, and his oil, watercolor, lacquer, acrylic, or ink, elevated them to the level of art -- he uses whatever media he feels appropriate in order to capture the spirit of the buildings and to bestow them with a sense of dignity they deserve. ”
– Dr. Siliang Yang, Art Critic
