Born in 1985 in Xi'an, Shaanxi Province. Guan Fengdong's paintings are untutored, he has not
experienced the constraints of traditional art education, and his sharp, persistent, and carefree
personality is revealed in his painting language. His symbolic paintings are very simple, with
only a few pairs of black, white, grey and blue colours, which allows him to take the opportunity
to dive into the silicon system of image representation, infuse lyrical and resolute power, and
from then on, enjoy the pleasure of painting itself. Fengdong's paintings are very much in line
with the image of the Post-80s generation: egoistic, changeable, wandering, pan-faithful,
outwardly bright but inwardly contradictory. Solo Exhibitions: 2008 Symbol Crash Tour - Guan

Born in Guangdong, Guan Liang was well-versed in Chinese painting and oil painting. He
was also a fine arts educator, a professor at the Zhejiang Academy of Fine Arts in Zhejiang,
China, and the director of the Shanghai branch of the Chinese Artists Association. Guan
Liang changed his chosen field from chemistry to art, while studying in Japan in 1917. His
Japanese mentors, Fujishima Takeji and Nakamura Fusetsu, taught him the basics of drawing
and painting and introduced him to the works of the Impressionists and Post-Impressionists.
Guan once mentioned that Paul Gauguin, Vincent van Gogh, and Henri Matisse had left a
deep impression and a lasting influence on him, that in his work he sought to merge Western
techniques with Chinese themes, as evident in the work Monk and Monkey King (1978). He
retreated to the Sichuan Province during the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937–45), where as a
result of the Japanese blockade, he was unable to obtain oil paints. Therefore, he began using
local materials, ink and brush, to paint the theme he is best known for — the characters from
Chinese opera.
