“While almost every western painting is plotted on the vanishing-point perspective system, Bi arranges his planes like stage sets with empty, mystic spaces between. He told me that in western perspective, the farther elements become smaller, but in his paintings they don’t. His compositions are haunting, or immense.”

– Robert Amos (Times Colonist, October 2013)

“[Bi] begins each work with a mid-toned ground, often fading this colour across the picture plane. The subtle richness of these colours bears close study. Years of practice with a pencil gave him a keen eye for tonal gradations and his ability to convey depth from background to foreground is sublime.”

– Robert Amos (Times Colonist, October 2013)

“While his subjects may appear ‘realistic,’ a glance at his colour choices will tell you that his paintings are artistic inventions concocted from a blend of memory, imagination and experience. Bi told me that he had an excellent education in colour, but I think that colourists like him are born, not made.”

– Robert Amos (Times Colonist, October 2013)
