+ OVERVIEW

In the work of “Beyond Spring”, the foreground is covered with blossoming maples in red, dominating the compositions with the red that is often associated with happiness of the orient, setting against the naturalistic Huizhou architect in the background, the red becomes soften with a well layered composition.

The achievement of Pang Jiun is largely due to highly sophisticated self-cultivations, as well as being an acute observer. Pang Jiun paints through f reehand style of calligraphic strokes, while embracing the sentimental feelings deep down, the works of his are felt with passion just as how they were painted. Pang Jiun was said that “Colors are emotions”, there are no certain rules, but “one must have a well-rounded considerations of such factors: the subject, environment, and lightings, in addition to emotions”, in order for one to see the world with objectivity and subjectivity. Pang Jiun has incorporated the Zen philosophy of “emptiness ” in his works, in the sense that he unites the heart and nature, expressing a much wider and liberated aura.
