Pang Yongjie is widely recognized as one of China’s leading “post contemporary” abstract artists, and Fabrik Gallery delightedly welcomes him to Hong Kong for the opening of his new exhibition “Sensual Encounters”, starting on May 14. His unique and striking paintings are favored by collectors in Asia and Europe, and have achieved success at auctions.
Pang’s signature style of sensual, fluid, fleshy, maternal and often humorous abstract female forms is modelled on the female figures of Tang dynasty art. His works typically offer strong forms, interesting colour combinations, generous breasts and hips, voluptuous curves, and bright lips on rounded faces.
Pang was born in Shandong Province in 1968, and studied oil painting and Chinese inks and watercolors at the Central Academy of Fine Arts and Shandong Normal University. By the mid 2000’s, the artist had formed the abstract figurative style for which he is now known.
His works have been widely exhibited across China, in several Asian countries, and in the USA, theNetherlands, Germany, Belgium and France. There is a strong secondary market for the artist’s works. “Sensual Encounters” at Fabrik Gallery in Sheung Wan runs until June 12.
