Feng creates works that serve as a commentary on the new glamour and fashion of today’s society. His works also reflect a personal ambivalent fascination with and an aversion to Chinese pop culture.
Feng Zhengjie paints striking contemporary women. With their coloured hair, richly hued clothes and luscious, expressive lips, the women appear irresistibly dazzling.
