His lines are with strength like those we seen in western paintings, they're also implicit like eastern paintings, pursing liveliness, likes and dislikes, and he paints mostly his feelings, and successfully created his eastern Expressionism.

There aren't limits on Pang's painting subjects, he painted landscapes, still objects, and people. In Pang's eyes, the feeling on any ordinary objects isn't determined by their "forms", but the observer's feelings and emotions at that moment, and colors are the best medium to carry those feelings and emotions. No matter it is the regions of rivers and lakes in Jiang Nan district he paints, or nature he sketches, he treated those "scenery" emotionally.
