+ OVERVIEW

The name of Pang Jiun and his grey tone are known to everyone. Grey, consonant with the sentiment and ethereality of Chinese poetry and the reserved and low-key style of Chinese people, reveals the spirituality of Chinese culture. He has been called "the Qi Baishi of oil painting."

At the age of 18, he was the youngest graduate that the Central Academy of Fine Arts had ever seen. He was the last student that Xu Beihong took under his wings. Pang’s distinct artistic style, sublime and passionate, classical and modern, integrates oil painting and Chinese ink. The poetic grey tone is Pang’s observation of the grand mountains and deep water in China.
