The Chinese photographer Fengyuan Fing developes a unique universe. There coming across a dreamlike atmosphere, surrealist influences, retro iconography, realism, reminiscences of Japanese (Ozu) and Hollywood cinema like a painting both eastern and western. The Chinese artist creates a ceremonial world where tenderness and eroticism mingle. This shows a lack of inhibition, of fear, of preconceptions in the face of the morality of his country, on the part of the artist and asks the same abandon of those looking at it.
The artist constructs each work like a picture in the style of the old masters. The important thing is not where the motifs come from, but rather what they become. Adding that the artist creates the sense of precise detail in order to open multiple combinations of possible interpretations. Delighted to invent the stories, the artist constructs a universe of renewal of desire. He projects into this universe limits without which we would not know if we remain inside or if we are already outside… So the universe is perversely polymorphous.
