+ 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.
