“...Fong So depicts different aspects of life in a metropolis, bringing into focus those who are old or neglected, and simple city folks; familiar yet extraordinary.... Within a period of only two years, he has
managed to complete this group of paintings that are innovative in composition, fascinating in colour, and of subjects that stimulate thought and contemplation.”
    - Anita Wong, Curator of University Museum and Art Gallery, The University of Hong Kong

「方蘇深入描繪出形形色色的都市生活，突顯被人遺忘的老弱一群和城市中的小人物，在平凡中展現他們的不平凡。......他花上兩年時間完成了這批構圖獨特、色彩濃烈、發人深省的作品。」
    - 黃燕芳 香港大學美術博物館館長

“ The huge colourful paintings are quintessentially Hong Kong - and at the same time question what 'quintessentially Hong Kong' actually means.”
“ The show is dominated by a monumental, vertical painting, more than three metres high. It is a high-rise portrait of old people queuing for the public clinic... It is almost comic, and certainly tender.”
    - Victoria Finlay, writer and ex- arts editor (24 November 2004 South China Morning Post)
