当社会盛行实用和享乐的风气，潘登是少有的敢于反潮流的艺术家，但他开出的药方不是回到古典正宗、回到常识和理性。他的作品戏谑地描绘了世俗风气：天使、人、动物的败坏也许不应归咎于天下太平，而是更应该归咎于我们内心的无穷无尽的祸乱，尤其是那些今日占据着、蹂躏着我们生活的利欲。因为利欲是我们今日人人都受其害的痼疾，况且奢欲奴役着我们，不妨说，我们陷于深渊之中。如果说爱金钱是一种使人萎靡不振的疾病，爱享乐又是最卑鄙龌龊的。世人再也不向上看了，在也不关心自己的名誉，生活的堕落在恶性循环逐步完成，人们灵魂中的伟大品质开始衰退，凋零枯槁，他们只重视必腐必朽的肉体，而不珍惜不配的灵魂的发展。

As the practical and extravagant trend being popular in the community, Pan Deng is one of a few who dares to go against the trend, but his prescription is not the reversion of classic genius, common sense and rationality. His works portray the secular trend jokingly: angels, people, animals, probably not to blame the deterioration of peace and harmony, but it should attribute to the endless disease in our hearts, especially that acquisitiveness has occupied devastated our lives today. Since acquisitiveness is a chronic illness for everyone today, in addition, we were enslaved by the extravagant desire, so to speak, it trapped us in the abyss. Love of money is a disease that makes people stagnant, and love of extravagance is the most despicable and nasty thing. People are no longer following the convention, and nasty thing. People are no longer following the convention, and never concern about their reputation, the deterioration of life has been finished in the vicious cycle, the lofty dignity in their soul has begun to decline, being withered and haggard. They just think much of their flesh, rather than the sublimation of soul.
