“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… His compositions are haunting, or immense.”

– Robert Amos for the Times Colonist, 2013

Fall Colours
Acrylic on canvas 60 x 48
$12,000

“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 for the Times Colonist, 2013

On the West Coast Trail
Acrylic on canvas 36 x 48
$7100

“[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. His ability to convey depth from background to foreground is sublime.”

– Robert Amos for the Times Colonist, 2013

Little Creek
Acrylic on canvas 30 x 40

“Although he has the skill and training to paint in any style, Cheng is most passionate about landscapes; his interpretations of West Coast wildness have a powerful verisimilitude, while his early training introduces hints of calligraphy and ink-wash Chinese nature paintings.”

– Robert Moyes for Boulevard Magazine

“Bi Yuan Cheng is a seeker of the truth. Not truth in facts, but in feeling; not in evidence, but in experience. His pursuit as an artist is to convey the world as he sees it and share its impact with the viewer, to impart the sense of wonder it brings to him.”

– Aaren Madden for Focus Magazine, 2017
