Universal Energy series

In the later period of the Punto Movement, Hsiao Chin focused on presenting the "Universal Energy". His works combined opposing elements such as Yin and Yang, brightness and darkness, strong and weak. He included circle and rhombus in his painting. According to the Chinese cosmology, circle symbolizes the sky, while square (similar to the rhombus) symbolizes the earth. He drew a circle in the center, and combined with radioactive straight lines, which seems to deviate from the quiet philosophies shown in his early works, but they actually continued Lao Zhuang thoughts. Hsiao Chin chose a more direct way to present calmness. He directly depicted and presented the inner seemingly emptiness, while the sun symbolizes the mystery of the universe, showing a strong magnetic field.
