　　叶永青的作品中看似涂鸦的混乱之象，实际上蕴涵着艺术家探讨新的美学观和新的艺术秩序。他的艺术转向对新的绘画性的实验，建立在对图像分析的方法之上——包含了一种从无序到有序的观念。也就是说，自由混乱的表征被转化成有序的视觉结构。他的绘画明确传递出这样一种新的艺术观念——他从同一性与差异性中寻找艺术的可能性，这种可能性显然也是无限的。

　　Ye Yongqing’s artwork appears to exude the chaos of graffiti, but it is actually imbued with the new aesthetical views and artistic order that he has constantly been exploring. His art has recently turned to experimentations in new forms of painterliness established on methods for analyzing images – including the concept of order rising out of chaos. That is to say, chaotic symbols are transformed into an ordered visual structure. His painting clearly embodies this new artistic concept. He seeks out the possibilities in art from within uniformity and difference, and it would appear that such possibilities are endless.
