Fanzhi takes inspiration from the Post-Impressionism movement, but clearly makes his own path by utilizing opposing colors, exaggerated human features, and thought-provoking subjects. This can be seen in his painting “Mask Series No.3” where the Chinese subjects are wearing masks—hiding their faces, yet revealing their feelings. The abstract flair in this painting exaggerates the subjects’ hands and accents the shading and colors.
His theme is often the blurring of both history and the reimagined. The artist uses human emotion to draw a common thread throughout history and uses well-known historical depictions to show how all of humanity is connected through expression. For example, his “Last Supper” employs the reimagining of the Leonardo da Vinci’s “The Last Supper”. Fanzhi interprets the renaissance painting into a new creation, using Chinese subjects and writing to show his own culture. His work intends to invoke empathy and critical thought about representation. (Artist Website) Read Less

What is figurative art?
Sometimes known as Figurativism. It particularly describes sculptures and paintings clearly or specifically derived from sources of real objects hence they are representational as the name suggests "figurative art". This term is often used as a contrast for abstract art. However, since the coming of abstract art, this term has been used to mean any form of modern art with strong references to the actual/real world situation.
