+ OVERVIEW
Born in Fuzhou, Fujian Province in 1949, Feng Zhijie is a famous
Shoushan stone sculptor. He loves stone, especially tianhuang, and
almost all of his works are round sculptures. In the 1980s, Feng
traveled to Hong Kong and settled there in order to seek artistic
breakthroughs. Influenced by the status quo of tianhuang works, he
made up his mind to bring back the glory of round sculptures. Feng's
creation is crafted with fine craftsmanship; his method is delicate and
smooth. The characters' expressions, dynamic and even the pleats
are all vivid and meticulous. In addition to persisting in tradition,
returning art to the everyday life is also one of the persistences of
Feng. He often says, 'Art comes from life, 'life' is the 'source' of all
artistic creation. Only when the art comes from life, it has charm and
energy.' The innovation and persistence of creation give different
vitality and artistic attraction to the art of his. This lot presents his
sophisticated carving skill with its smooth lines and delicate details.
