The world presented in the art of Yu Peng is generally full of romantic contemplations that are, to a certain extent, autobiographical or self-fanaticising in nature. Indeed, there are many hints at erotic-provocative, voyeuristic plots. The reason the artist provokes a sense of dramatic irony in those viewing his work is chiefly because the pieces almost seem to be auspicious landscapes, presenting an illusive picture of peace and prosperity. This in turn works to highlight the way in which such images are completely at odds with the reality of violence, murder, material gain, anxieties and divisions we find in our real society.
于彭畫中的世界，通常帶著某種程度的自傳性或情慾的浪漫遐思，甚至也不乏許多暗示色慾情挑的自慰式情節。他的畫作之所以勾起旁觀者一種戲劇性的反諷氣息，主要在於他畫中近乎粉飾太平的祥瑞景象，完全與整個台灣暴戾、殺伐、功利、焦慮、分裂的社會格格不入。
