“‘two and a half’dimensional strata” Famous artist Feng Feng Solo Exhibition--Exhibition of Contemporary Art Works opens on 15th March 2008 to 18th March 2008 at The Fifth Element Gallery ，798.Feng Feng delves into the origins of the Chinese character by setting up a direct, stark presentation of the characters amid his densely compositional field or in the relief work, which in often present on his canvas. Ancient scripts drawn from the Buddhist Canon, copper etchings and diverse media are all skillfully employed to narrate a subjective examination of the historical language of the traditional arts and verse of the nation. These ancient symbols are held in contrast to current conceptions and often misconceptions of Chinese contemporary society. The ardour and passion of the artist for classical verse fills the visual creations. Abstract reduction serves to veil characters and other symbols within his work. The many layers of paint and raw materials that Feng Feng uses transform the history of an ancient country and culture. As such, his artworks serves as an address saddled with a tremendous historical legacy. His efforts denote a remarkable conceptual and artistic achievement. In looking at Feng Feng's formal compositions, the artist often dissects his compositions with stark bands of sheet metallic paints, of bronze, gold and silver hues, furthering the concept of crossing time and emphasizing the effect of time on culture. In contrast to the depth of the intense brushwork on the surface, the bands capture the eye, as testimony to the fleeting nature of life. In this sense, the artist establishes a domain wherein the spectacle of history is drawn to a halt and narration to an end.
