Juin Shieh's work often features exquisite motives blending with rich intertextuality, as well as un-tied reason and spontaneous brushworks as evidenced in Abstract Expressionism. Shieh brings further concrete images yet not fix in definition, similar to the revival of concrete but defacing figuration in works by Francis Bacon. As the latter concerned more on human existential solitude, Shieh seems not to abandon the belief of genuine human relations, despite the burdens of complex secular relationships could often be heavy.
