With the entire history of art, with an emphasis on academic and Symbolist painting, as his inheritance, Guan possesses the skills to realize any flight of his own imagination. The subtle influences of Surrealism are also evident, particularly in earlier paintings, and clearly still inform aspects of perspective. He can paint like the most expressive of the Impressionists, or render people's features with a crispness similar to America's "hyper-realists." Technical virtuosity, however, is clearly not an end in itself. Rather, technique is the beginning from which the artist creates the imagery he desires. For Guan, that imagery is now dance, specifically the ballet.
