Catalogue Note:
Feng Zhengjie's paintings saw a transition in the year 2000. "Beauties'are handled in a soft and smooth way. Strokes of brushwork are invisible, and structures are not emphasized in figure designs. The overall planar effect and fluent lines in the paintings strengthen a decorative atmosphere" (Refer to A Brief Introduction of Feng Zhengjie's Art)

"Raffish" art represented by Feng Zhengjie derives from political pop art. Feng Zhengjie was born in Sichuan Province in 1968. He graduated from the Oil Painting Dept. of Sichuan Academy of Fine Art. He liked traditional Chinese New Year Art, and he managed to adopt red and green colors, which are extensively used in traditional culture, in the painting of portraits, and express popular and vulgar culture in an aesthetical way. Feng Zhengjie has been observing the social changes with a pure heart when coming from villages to cities. He is impatient with the vulgar and shallow culture, but is still attracted by such phenomena. His works are recognized because of the integration of fashion, commerce, and tradition, and because he honestly and cleverly combines the conflicting psychology of current society: zealously pursuing beautifulness, while being reluctant to be superficially limited to sensory enjoyment only.
