Pan has created a pictorial language of great power and originality. Successfully synthesizing the East and West, the traditional and the contemporary, Pan has forged a visual vocabulary entirely his own.The visions which Pan projects are invariably very positive scenes of peace and harmony; his people are in repose or engaged in tender or joyous pursuits – mothers cradling their sleeping children, young people at play, musicians caught up in the rhythm of their performance.
Pan is as concerned with color as he is with form, preferring rich saturated hues. His rich, glowing colors are often applied with a spirited disregard for nature. He allows his personal response to reality free play. The dramatic distribution of bright and subdued hues and the bold use of black and white provide powerful compositional elements…all vibrating with color harmonies true to themselves if not to literal reality. Fusing elements of the art of East and West, past and present, the work of Pan speaks across space and time with the universal voice of an authentic inner voice.
