Feng Zhengjie (Chinese: 俸正杰) (born 1968 in Sichuan Province, China) is an artist based in Beijing and Jeju Island of South Korea.
His more recent work is based on the red and green of traditional Chinese New Year art, the colors made "more acid, a representation of the flashy, commercial nature of modern China".
Removing all distraction, he exposes the essence of temptation, magnifying the sex appeal of fantasy lifestyle and its gulf of intangibility.Although Feng has been quite successful in the international art market these years, his brave usage of bright colors has drawn criticism.
In Chinese culture, red, green, and pink colors are usually associated with the superficial and shallow; people also accuse Feng because they think he paints to meet the western taste as well as to make money.
Behind these images of women in my works can be found firstly emotion but also forms of criticism, provocation, introspection... A new understanding of the world.
My works convey a state of mind: curiosity and perplexity between which exists a conflict.Feng Zhengjie has been firmly carrying on his style even facing the huge economic crisis during 2008.
He finds his confidence from working hard constantly, and more importantly he enjoys every single change he makes in his paintings.
