吴昊早期的作品介于超现实与抽象之间，具有东方古朴之神秘意境。吴昊撷取古文物与民间庙宇彩绘的色彩，例如：红绿相映、绿色与桃红色互衬、宝蓝妆点深黄，这些色彩显得十分迷人，然而画面上的构图总是以“饱满”物象占据整个画面，在视觉上形成强烈压迫感之张力。他藉由奇观式的造形与构图，画出了自己的感觉，从而建立独特的艺术语汇。

WU Hao's early works were somewhere in between surreal and abstract, expressing simple yet mysterious images with an Eastern sensibility. Wu appropriated colors from antique artifacts and the paintings in neighborhood temples – for example, complementary red and green, contrasting green and magenta, or sapphire embellishing a deep yellow. These colors were extremely enchanting, yet his compositions were packed full of objects occupying the entirety of his pictures, forming a powerfully claustrophobic visual tension. Through spectacular forms and compositions, he painted his own feelings, thus creating a unique artistic vocabulary.
