About Ming Feng As the creative process is the product of the artist’s soul, it is essential that he possess an abundant resource of unique personal experiences and observations. Only by painting his soul into a work can an artist demonstrate his unique understanding of life and beauty. Ming Feng was born in Guangzhou China, which is known as the “Flower City,” situated in a subtropical area surrounded by lush trees, crisscrossing rivers and brooks. “Nature’s beauty stirred my longing for art and its colorfulness gave wings to my imagination. I could not help but attempt to capture its beauty on paper. Perhaps that was the burgeoning of my passion for art. I was twelve.” That year Ming was admitted to the Guangzhou Art School. Upon graduation, he enrolled at the Guanzhou Art Academy. There, he studied artistic theories and philosophy of both Western and Chinese art. Before arriving in the United States, Ming achieved prominence as a acclaimed artist in his native China. At age eighteen he became a set designer for the Modern Dance Troupe of Guangzhou. He later worked as a commercial artist for an art design firm. Ming has exhibited internationally and received many awards. His works are in the permanent collection of the Guangzhou Art Museum. In 1988, at age 31, Ming immigrated to the United States with his parents and settled in New York. The diversity of art there broadened his horizon while the market offered him more opportunities to show his paintings. In 2001 Ming became a proud American citizen. Born on Flag Day, he often includes the American flag in his paintings. With his wife Lily, and his young son, he lives near Cape Cod, which today remains his favorite place and the source of his inspiration. His paintings are in private and corporate collections worldwide. |
