In the context of Boyce's interest in Chinese art, the work brings to mind the characteristic compositions of Chinese painting of mountainous landscapes. The attached lantern and chains reinforce such an association: a recurring motif in Boyce's work, the metal lanterns refer both to the traditional shape of Chinese lamps and lanterns and to those based on his engagement with the Martel brothers' trees.
The charged balance between sparseness and iconographic motif of the sculptural component, further recalls a stylistic device developed by traditional Chinese and Japanese painting practice.
博伊斯对中国艺术的具有浓厚的兴趣,在这个前提下,其作品让人联想到中国山水画的特色构图。附加的灯笼和链条加强了这种联想,这是博伊斯作品中反复出现的主题,金属灯笼既指传统的中国灯具形状,也暗指了他与马特尔兄弟的作品“树木”的接触。
雕塑元素的稀疏与图像主题之间的张力平衡,进一步呼应了中国和日本传统绘画的风格。
