Zhengjie Feng

Born in 1969 in Sichuan, Zhenjie Feng is a world-renowned artist who works and lives in Beijing. A graduate of the Sichuan Academy of Arts and the Southwest School of Art, he began his work inspired by the Shanghai posters of the 1930s, before adopting the style now known as Gaudi art, of which he is one of the pioneers. This style was inspired by Mian Zhu Nian Hua, used for Chinese New Year drawings, whose bright colors were supposed to represent the optimism of workers in the face of their living and working conditions. Critically acclaimed, Zhenjie Feng's portraits have been the subject of numerous exhibitions around the world, including the China Gold exhibition at the Musée Maillol in Paris in 2008.
