Most of the early Chinese abstract painters have their skills developed over sea, George Chann who had settled in the United States is one of them, his abstract painting style were established after his realistic practices. During that time, the 50s, abstract art already had their history and developments in both United States and Europe; however, Chann's living experiences in China during 1947 to 1950 has added extra unique characters to his abstract paintings. In his paintings, he also discussed and presented Chinese cultural elements such as inscriptions on bones or tortoise shells, calligraphy and the book of stone rubbings by taking an undefined route.

"Color Splash" as the title of this piece implies, those bright yellow brush strokes, no matter they are symbols or not, carry a meaning, a message. Just like Cy Twombly tells those great mythology stroke by stroke on the canvas, Chann painted those visual rhythms in his heart with passion, such as the longing for the city of the old days, or an ancient one which passed on human civilizations. This kind of narrative property has made his abstract paintings having a will of carrying, they also tell the original intention of the things which the artist wanted to do, as well as the mildness within his characteristics.
